In case you're wondering about the "Skip" ... I did the Skip questlines option on my Alt at Lvl 63- & got the Quest: 'Engine of Innovation', which unlocked the Engine's full potential which casts the Essence Detector upon you and 5-Bottled Essence and I also got 1200 XP ;) So - I was still able to obtain the 5 sparks (from the bottled Essence) and only forfeited the XP I would have gained for each of the quests and the extra time it would have taken to do them, lol. Cheers~

As of 12/5/2022, I can now get this on my alts even if they have not completed the Chromie quest chain.

Level 60 fresh alts (even having done no quests at all in the Dragon Isles) can take the portal to Valdrakken and immediately start the quest. :)

Description

Some folks in the city claim this here device was created by the legendary Titan Watcher Tyr. Problem is we can't get it to work! We tried all the usual tricks, dissemblin', gyroscopin', a little mild electrocution. None of it sides the electrocution worked. Actually... I just had a great idea. See that gyrocopter over there? Hop in and let's see if we can give this titan thing a little more... juice.
