TheWoWDBYou actually have to work your way up to this quest, as it's part of the series in Thousand Needles that you have to go through in Cata as Alliance. It goes as follows:
- The Grimtotem are Coming
- Do Me a Favor?
- Down in the Deeps
- Pirate Accuracy Increasing
- Circle the Wagons... er, Boats
- Quiet the Cannons
- Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp
- The Greatest Flavor in the World!
All of these quests are right around level 40, and seem to be pretty straightforward. If you're 85, you'll have no difficulty at all.
Just thought I'd share, 'cause I had the same question (was farming the belt for an armorset).

Don't get me wrong... I'm cheerful on the outside, but inside I'm just terribly torn to pieces. All of my friends and employees are dead. Could you do me a favor? Would you swim down there and attach the tug's tow hook to my dead employees? I'll reel them in.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Greatest Flavor in the World!
Below us is a cave. It's huge! The perfect location for our new refrigerated vault. It's big enough to hold all of our inventory with room to grow. Unfortunately, when we were almost done equipping all of the pipes, bugs burrowed up out of nowhere and killed all of my employees!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Freezing the Pipes
It's time to break out the I-Scream Cryocannon! We lifted the tech from the frost cannons on the river boats. If it's one thing that we gnomes are good at, it's miniaturization by way of making everything else that much bigger!
