Tip: as you get almost all mobs on you each time run back to the street, click on the sewer and get in as they can't follow you in 😊

Any time you destroy a grill, the workers will attack you. All of them.

I found it kind of dark that we actually kill the people working on the machine to "halt manufacturing". I get that plagiarism is bad and all, but did they really deserve to die? Do they even know the idea was stolen or are they just random workers Mite hired?

Description

Our presentation showed that we were the ones that could actually operate the device! If Sammy weren't so focused on the documentation bein' in Mite's hands... Anyone else could clearly see we had made the thing even if we didn't have the schematics! But this ain't over. You saw how Mite overloaded the Smellersweller? We can do that too! Punch a bunch of buttons all at once and we can exploit his half-baked, all-stolen idea! We go in, we mess up the prototype, an' we set production back months!

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.

Something SmellsUndermine · Level 80
Ooh! That Mite makes me so mad! He even took credit for it. An' I was right. He's going to present the Smellersweller to our boss! In fact, he's probably presenting it right now! That gives me an idea though. We may not have the schematic, but Mite won't know how to operate it.
