Ideas Can Come from Anywhere

Ideas Can Come from Anywhere is a quest for level 10-60 in Mechagon. It is step 3 of 3 in the Junkyard Tinkering storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Mechagon Island at 71.3, 32.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

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!

Rewards

You will receive:

  • Spell: Brainstorm New InventionsBrainstorm new inventions with Pascal, allowing you to see all possible blueprints in Pascal-K1N6's database.
