Description

I don't suppose Sputtervalve sent you? I'm in a bind here. I hopped in without realizing that I need a key to unlock the shredder's movement column. One of the other shredder operators asked me if everything was okay, and I panicked! Instead of telling him that I was missing my key, I told him there was some sort of mechanical problem.

We need to get out of here on the double! Search the upper level of the derrick, Supervisor Lugwizzle should have a key for this shredder.

Help me out here!

Without a doubt, one of these most annoying quests in the game. After fighting through all the way to get the key, then fighting all the way back down.....Blizzard decided to put an insane respawn on the quest giver after someone else does the quest...Simply a horrible design and implementation

Fairly straight forward. Go up the ramp of the big structure in the water. Be careful of roamers, there's 2-3 of them that go back and forth, so keep an eye out.

The key is on Supervisor Lugwizzle. He roams up and down the ramp and around a bit of the shore of the water. He even passes by Wizzlecrank, so if you're lucky, you can finish this quest fairly quickly.
