TheWoWDBWhenever they give you a cool backpack like this, I get annoyed that we can't have these as a normal part of the game. They look cool and we should have a variety of them available similar to the Highmountain totems, etc.

Blizzard, please make this backpack an acquirable mount. I will level an engineer if that's what it takes. You can even make it Gnome-only, I don't care, I'll just play Gnomes from now on. Please make this happen.
Krugg is at the top level of the Pumping Station. No need to fight your way up, just fly up. You can call in multiple Bomber Strikes during the fight to help you.

Description
<Cog Captain Winklespring's voice springs to life over your personal communication system.> One of the recon pilots did a scouting run over the station. She reported that there seems to be a trogg on the top level that is larger and smarter than the others. He's somehow managed to get one of the Defendo-Tanks for the station working in his favor. Take him out!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Now With More Mechanical Fowl
The gnomes here report that troggs came down from the north and started attacking everygnome and everything. So now it's our job to fix this situation! And luckily, I have the perfect plan for it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Signal in Storm Peaks
It looks like the signal is being transmitted from Storm Peaks. Time to put these flying machines to work! I'll keep tracking the signal en route in order to get a cleaner read.
