Description

My father was once a good leader. He envisioned a brighter future for his people, and did everything in his power to help us acquire it. But when his vision became misaligned with the dreams of his people, he failed to adapt. Instead, he grew rigid, forcing his will on others. In secret experiments, he began fully mechanizing the bodies of those who resisted him. It was horrible to watch... there was nothing left of the original gnomes who followed him willingly. Only robots remained. Slaves.

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.

  • Rescuing the ResistanceMechagon · Level 10-60

    King Mechagon is ruthlessly efficient. He only expends resources to kidnap those he deems worthy. The rest, he... discards. <Prince Erazmin grimaces.> We will deal with my father, King Mechagon, another day.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Can Fix ItMechagon · Level 10-60

    <This drill rig looks capable of breaking through the nearby debris, but is clearly broken. If you can collect the parts required, Prince Erazmin should be able to show you how to repair it.>
