TheWoWDBSo you need to go find the Sparklematic 5200 to finish the quest? But when your group bolts, 10 nanoseconds after killing the boss, you then need to solo your way through Gnomer to wherever the vending machine is? Wow, what a great idea, particularly for a squishy. Why didn't I think of that?

Only one of the Sparklematic 5200 machines will work for this quest. If you enter The Clean Zone using the stairs, it's on the left hand side of the room, next to the mail box. If you come up from The Hall of Gears, it's on the right hand side of the room, next to the mail box.

Description
You have uncovered what appears to be a ring from the corpse of one of the Dark Iron dwarves. It is difficult to tell what kind of ring it is, however; dirt and hardened residue cake the item completely, making wearing it impossible. You think you can make out the slight luster of precious metal and maybe even the glint of a gem under the residue. If you are going to make use of this ring, you are going to need to find something to get the hardened residue off of it.
Getting there
Inside the dungeon: Gnomeregan
Built deep within the mountains of Dun Morogh, the wondrous city of Gnomeregan was a testament to the gnomes' intelligence and industry. But when the capital was invaded by troggs, the gnomish high tinker was betrayed by his advisor Sicco Thermaplugg.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Grubbis, Viscous Fallout, Electrocutioner 6000, Crowd Pummeler 9-60, Mekgineer Thermaplugg.
Entrance: Dun Morogh at 24.9, 37.2.
