If like me, you arrive at the marker and nothing happens, it's because you were too fast. Seems to sometimes bug out if you fly straight there with a flying mount. Drop the quest, pick it back up and run there by foot.

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 Start of Something BiggerTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    We have coordinates locked into the gyrocopters. You and Captain Winklespring will fly the lead. If we run into any trouble, Tinkmaster Overspark wants the most experienced pilots out front. Board whenever you are ready to go.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Resistance Needs YOU!Mechagon · Level 10-60

    Rustbolt isn't usually in this level of malfunction. King Mechagon attacked our town last night. His mechanical armies captured many members of the Rustbolt Resistance and destroyed as much as they could before we drove them out. The prisoners are being processed at Junkwatt Depot.
