As of today, I am unable to complete this quest on my gnome hunter. He is either not there or if I log out & back in again, he's there but quickly phases out and becomes unavailable again.

Edit: Only by standing very closely, logging out then back in again and clicking on him before he can phase out was I able to complete this quest. Now the same thing seems to be happening with Engineer Grindspark. :sigh:

That is every comment on this page.

Description

I don't know if you'll remember Mekkatorque or not. Nevin tells me that memory loss is pretty common for a Gnomeregan survivor. Mekkatorque, or more properly, the High Tinker Mekkatorque is the leader of all the gnomes. He has made a habit of meeting with every rescued survivor personally. You should introduce yourself to him. He'll be with his war council beneath the tent in the center of town.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fight ContinuesNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    The dwarves of Ironforge kindly took us in when the trogg invasion and radiation forced us to leave Gnomeregan for the first time. But even the kindness of friends can't quell the longing for home.
