Ani-Matter Animator

Ani-Matter Animator is a quest for level 10-55 in Maldraxxus. The quest's turn-in marker is in Maldraxxus at 26.4, 42.7. It rewards 7,500 experience and money.

Description

This area is rich with the remains of fallen soldiers... some of which still carry a spark of potential.

I've created what I call the "Ani-Matter Orb," with which you can reanimate the skeletal matter littered throughout the foundry.

Let us see how many of the new animates would join our cause.

As for those who don't... well, they should be quite accustomed to being slain by now.

This quest is marked as a "Weekly", however it yields no reputation or anything useful. (Only 25g)
I don't see any point in doing this currently, as a level 60.

This quest is idiotic (like a lot are this xpac)
There are 4 types of animates [npc=157096], [npc=157127], [npc=157105] and [npc=157130].
Violent will be just standing around and their tooltip says they count towards this quest, but they don't.
Enraged will be RNG when you activate the bones. They'll be hostile and you kill them, but they don't count for the quest.
Loyal will be RNG when you activate the bones. I think they automatically count towards the quest, but I'm not 100% sure. You can't talk to them they just start fighting with you.
Recruitable is another RNG type you get when you activate the bones. You need to talk to them to recruit them for them to count towards the quest. I didn't realize I needed to talk to them before I'd done a Lot.
Idiotic...

[npc=157169] all look the same, but actually have different IDs. The ones with ID 157169 will always spawn [npc=157168], which are always friendly/recruitable.
Install an addon that displays item IDs (such as idTip), only use [item=175827] on Bone Remains with ID 157169, and you'll never have to fight hostile animates.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
