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.

  • To the SurfaceNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    Nevin has just sent word that he and his men are making their way to the surface. He'll be waiting for you in the building that S.A.F.E. has established as its headquarters. See Torben Zapblast over there?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Meet the High TinkerNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    I don't know if you'll remember Mekkatorque or not. Nevin tells me that memory loss is pretty common for a Gnomeregan survivor. Mekkatorque, or more properly, the High Tinker Mekkatorque is the leader of all the gnomes. He has made a habit of meeting with every rescued survivor personally.
