There is a prequisite quest - you need to go inside the little hovel thing with the elevator and get the quest from the gnome at the top, inside. Simply listen to his tale, then go outside and complete it by talking to the quest-ender. Once that quest is complete, >then< you can see this NPC's quests (as well as several others).

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

There're spare parts strewn all over to the east in the Scalding Pools, the Geyser Fields... heck, probably even up on the pumping station still, too. Bring back a whole bunch. Maybe then I'll be able to get outgoing teleport on this thing working, not to mention getting the incoming transmatter ports aligned. I'd hate to see another accident....

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.
