Description

I've actually nearly perfected my dream machine: The Skystrider! The world's first flying Mechanostrider! But, well

When I was putting the finishing touches on it in my secret cavern lab, my other creations became, er, jealous. Giving mechanical birds a personality to begin with was probably a bad idea, but that's already done.

I need the Supermechanical Robo-Widget from the original Skystrider if I want to rebuild it! Please, journey into the cave and retrieve it for me!

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wing NutLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    I'm through with gyrocopters. Sure, they work, but when has that ever been good enough for a real gnome? I want real flight, with WINGS! I've been studying birds for years now, trying to unlock the final secret to building a machine that flies just like them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Skystrider's HeartLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    Opening the hatch, you find an imposing looking mechanical device hooked to several wires, gears, and who knows what else. It's easily detached. Time to bring it back to Bingles.
