If you (like me) put your spare parts in the bank, there will be no quest available to enable you to craft S.P.A.R.E. Crate needed to fabricate the Hundred-Fathom Lure. So you HAVE to have 250 spare parts in your BAG for the quest to show up in Rustbolt from the NPC Pascal. Hope this helps.

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.

  • Tidying UpMechagon · Level 10-60

    Ionized Minnows are a scourge of these waters. They strip the ocean floors of any food, making it difficult for other species to survive. These fish have little to offer other than being a food source for larger fish.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Let's Fish!Mechagon · Level 10-60

    We may need the help of some friends to land this fish! Use the Hundred-Fathom Lure when you're ready to start.
