The Eye of KGB

[KGB]

Did the Eye of KGB become bugged in 0.92?

I just found the item for the first time and when I tried to use it, it no longer shows the exact ruin guardians which was supposed to be it's prime purpose. It only lists the reward (gold, item, allies or sage).

I dont think it listed exact guardians in earlier versions either?
I didnt know/understod it was supposed to show exact guardians... but wont it be too good for a level1 item if it does?

I enjoyed the item several times, and it did indeed list the exact ruin guardians in previous versions. However, I think that would be too powerful for a level 1 item indeed, similar to reaping risk-free-allies before 0.92.

I think the EyeOfKGB is actually pretty fine item right now as it is. The +2UL is useful, and knowing what to get is also useful.

However, if one feels that the item needs a small boost, here is a suggestion: Allow the wearer of the item to see whether a ruin is explored or unexplored anywhere on the map, regardless of the fog. (Vision is only needed to determine the treasure type.) One could learn a lot from this info, but using it to one's advantage is probably to straightforward.

It definitely listed the exact guardians. That was the whole point of the item, to aid the owner in knowing which ruins could be easily searched due to weaker guardians. Listing the reward type (gold, item, allies, sage) was just to help the owner know whether the ruin was worth searching.

I don't think knowing the exact guardians is too good for a L1 item. You still have to defeat them (especially now that there are guardians on ally ruins) to get the reward. As it is right now, the item is basically useless other than it's +2 UL (which you can drop in favor of listing the exact guardians).

Yeah, without that ability the item is pretty much useless, just giving +2 UL.
