After talking to them all, head out in the world ant kill Robots, you will get items like [item=169231] - [item=169233] - [item=169236] - [item=169224] - [item=169227] - [item=169229] - [item=169230] keep on killing, til the bar reaches 100% and hand in the quest.

After that you have gotten a lot of new items [npc=150359] cam craft. they got a lock next to them, i presume you need to unlock them by killing mobs around the isle, getting to exalted, killing raid bosses...

What to do

WhereMechagon Island, around 71.3, 32.3
StorylineJunkyard Tinkering, step 3 of 3
Rewards25g 74s, 8,150 XP

Description

I didn't notice the tinkerer's spark in you when we first met. But look at all of the blueprints you've recovered and uploaded to Pascal-K1N6's database. I was wrong. And happily so, my budding junkyard tinkering apprentice! But this is a dangerous moment in your creative development. You must avoid complacency! Take time off to find new ideas. Speak with builders that inspire you, reverse-engineer bots on the island, and be open to new ideas - no matter where they come from!

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.
