Equipment Blueprint: Gyroscopic Internal Stabilizer

This quest item will drop for characters that don't even have a shipyard, or even a level 2 or 3 garrison.

[npc=90284], (second boss in [zone=7545]) drops [item=128256] which counters counters the naval threat [threat=80]. The blueprint drops on all levels of raid difficulty.

The trait [garrisonability=268] can be acquired 3 ways:

1. 
   
2. Automatically, as the native trait of a new or upgraded rare or epic ship,
3. 
   
4. Looted, from a mission that has a ship with the [garrisonability=287] / [garrisonability=290] buff, or
5. 
   
6. Purchased, from [npc=93812] / [npc=94801] after it has been unlocked by learning the blueprint.
7. 
   

Additional traits: There are 7 Tanaan Jungle bosses who are guaranteed to drop specific Equipment Blueprints needed for the achievement Naval Mechanics.

Protip 1: I use Macro Toolkit to avoid having to split macros into smaller parts. There are other addons that also allow this.

Protip 2: Want an easy way to reset your Tomtom arrow to the nearest boss on the list? Just type

Note: An 8th boss, [npc=90284], (second boss in [zone=7545]) drops [item=128256] which counters [threat=80]. The blueprint drops on all levels of raid difficulty.

Note 2: What about the rest of them? Only 3 other blueprints are available in 6.2.0. They come from various sources. Equipment Blueprint: Blast Furnace ([garrisonability=269] for [threat=81]), is a quest item. [item=128264] ([garrisonability=275]) and [item=128265] ([garrisonability=305]) are vendor rep items.

The blueprints for [garrisonability=278], [garrisonability=277], [garrisonability=279], [garrisonability=281], & [garrisonability=280] are not obtainable and are no longer required for the achievement.

However, each of these 5 pieces of equipment has a chance to be provided automatically when upgrading or building new ships.

* Except for the blueprints that require reputation ([garrisonability=275] & [garrisonability=305]), any of the blueprints that you have learned on your alts will be unlocked at [npc=93812] / [npc=94801] once you have completed A True Naval Commander / A True Naval Commander.
