To the Surface is a quest for level 1-10 in New Tinkertown. It is step 6 of 37 in the Gnomeregan storyline. It rewards 180 experience and money.
Description
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? Talk to him when you're ready to head to the surface and he'll arrange to have you transported up there. It's been a pleasure meeting you, <name>, and I'm honored to have played a small role in helping you escape from Gnomeregan to start your life on the surface.
You can either ride the elevator up, or talk to Torben Zapblast, the gnome standing about 5 paces away, for a transport directly to the next quest NPC in the chain, your old friend Nevin Twistwrench... who has somehow made his way to the surface ahead of you.
Leads to the quest that introduces you to your first class trainer.
You have to get teleported up. If you ride the elevator without talking to Torben Zapblast, you'll have to go back down and talk to him to get teleported. Just going up using the elevator does not complete the quest.

You've been down here in Gnomeregan for a long time, <name>, and it's amazing that you've survived and kept your wits so long! We need to get you out. Before we can send you to the surface to join the rest of the gnomes, you have to go through the decontamination process.
It's a victory for us every time we're able to help another survivor escape from the contaminated halls of Gnomeregan. <class>s like you will play an important part in the future of Gnomeregan.
