In order to receive the first quest for Mechagon, you need to do the introductory quests for Naz'jatar AND unlock the world quests there

I was stuck at Someone Who Can Help, but wasn't able to see the quest from Kelsey. Unlockinq WQ in Naz'jatar was the final step i needed

Description

I believe there is a way to help Mekkatorque, but some may not be a hundred percent on board... The mechagnomes have advanced techniques in biomechanical repair and improvements. If there is even a chance they can help him, we have to try! There are some mechagnomes sending supplies out to the island from a dock in Hook Point. No one will notice one more piece of cargo. We need to reroute one of their homing copters. Will you please help me get Mekkatorque's Pod to Mechagon?

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.

  • Waning EnergyLevel 40-90

    Mekkatorque's pod is powering down. We are no longer able to hear him speak. His pulse has slowed, in spite of the best efforts of Kul Tiran healers. I have an idea, but I am going to need your help. Meet me at Proudmoore Keep. We must go soon.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Current SchematicLevel 40-90

    I think I can modify one of our existing devices to give us access to Gelbin Mekkatorque without disturbing his life preserving functions. There are some items I will need you to procure. From the nearby vector of the Heaps, you will find scrapbots and scraphounds.
