Description

This vault screams of ancient gnomish tech! I believe this could be the key that leads us to King Mechagon! I can't risk putting myself in danger though, so you will lead the way into the vault. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's see what's inside!

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Legend of MechagonTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    I came as soon as I heard! A mysterious vault has been discovered in Tiragarde. Centuries ago, the last king of the gnomes, King Mechagon, led his followers in search of a mythical land of technology. He left no clue as to where he was headed, and over time his legend faded into history.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Let's Get It StartedTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    I theorize this to be a communication relay. It is non-operational, but gnomish ingenuity and your strong back shall soon solve that problem! I need you to help get this device functional.
