You have to click the glowing object on the grill. Took me way too long to figure this out.

It's the canister on the top of the grill behind Snap Vellumgrease. It can currently bug out & not become clickable - I had to relog in order to get it showing.

For me the yellow question mark on the map was incorrect.

Description

Ooh! That Mite makes me so mad! He even took credit for it. An' I was right. He's going to present the Smellersweller to our boss! In fact, he's probably presenting it right now! That gives me an idea though. We may not have the schematic, but Mite won't know how to operate it. If we can show the boss it's not Mite's design, maybe I'll still get credit! How good are you at pressing buttons? Will you help me present the prototype?

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.

Tossed and TorquedUndermine · Level 80
All my notes. My plans! <Snap is shaking with anger.> I just know it was Mite Sparkcog who tossed my apartment. He's my work rival and probably wanted my newest invention for himself--the Smellersweller 5000! It's an attachment for the grills we design.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Cease and DesistUndermine · Level 80
Our presentation showed that we were the ones that could actually operate the device! If Sammy weren't so focused on the documentation bein' in Mite's hands... Anyone else could clearly see we had made the thing even if we didn't have the schematics! But this ain't over.
