The Violet Eye is a magical sect originally created by the Kirin Tor W of Dalaran TW. Their purpose was originally to watch the doings of Medivh AHTW in Karazhan, and though Medivh is now dead, they still sponsor adventurers who are ready to brave the dangers of his old tower.
The main purpose for building reputation with the Violet Eye is to collect gradually improving versions of the Violet Signet AHT, a ring that comes in four different variations, according to which 'Path' you take:
- Path of the Violet Assassin AHT
For non-magical damage dealers
- Path of the Violet Mage AHT
For magical damage dealers
- Path of the Violet Protector AHT
For tanks
- Path of the Violet Restorer AHTW
For healers
Two further items are also available at present, both of which become available at Honoured. The Inscription of Endurance AHTW is a shoulder enchant granting enhanced magic resistance. Jewelcrafters can also acquire the design for the Frozen Eye AHTW, a ring with very high Frost Resistance. Violet Signets are provided by Archmage Leryda AHTW, and the other patterns are from Apprentice Darius AHTW, both of whom can be found outside the gate to Karazhan AHTW.
Gaining Reputation
- Complete the quest line that starts with Archmage Alturus AHTW outside Karazhan's main gate. If you have the Master's Key, you're already on this quest line: the bulk of it involves the quests to gain access to the key. Once you're inside the tower, though, there are a total of four more quests in this line, and at least some will improve your Violet Eye faction.
- Kill mobs and bosses inside Karazhan.
