As I attempted to do this quest I got DC'ed and when I logged back in I couldn't continue. Simply drop the quest and reaccept it and try again. Worked perfectly the second time.

Fun Fact: if this happens to you, you will be able to see a body double of yourself sitting next to Brinthe

Description

ZZ-01-47 should be able to make its way in there without drawing too much attention. But be careful! These goblins are hungry for raw materials. If they spot our bot, they won't show it mercy.

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.

  • Small Friend, Big PlansThe Ringing Deeps · Level 80

    I tracked down a distress signal that led me to this little maintenance machine. A curious find, but the real treasure is the defunct war golem facility to the southeast. If we can start producing war golems again we'll be able to contribute to the war effort.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Back to BaseThe Ringing Deeps · Level 80

    Getting this factory up and running will be a challenge, but I think we'll figure out something. Let's head back to Gundargaz and consult with a friend of ours. His mind will be a big help to us here.
