Tinkerfest is a time for celebrating with friends! I've been asked to find an old friend of Didyma's out in the Moors of Ykesha, and ensure she's okay, since she hasn't turned up for the Tinkerfest parties yet.

Stage 1

Nell should be found in the Moors of Ykesha. She is normally found crawling underneath some broken clockwork or other, wrench and screwdriver in hand!

Start:	I should look for Nell at the Dropship Landing.
Complete:	I found and spoke to Nell.

I found and spoke to Nell.

Stage 2

Gnomeland HQ in the Steamfont Mountains is a likely place to find someone who can lend a wrench to Nell.

Start:	Nell has asked me to find a left-handed sonic wrench for her to borrow.
Complete:	I came across a strange clockwork, who vanished and dropped something as it went!

Stage 3

Start:	I should investigate what the strange clockwork dropped.
Complete:	I retrieved a wrench that had been dropped by the strange clockwork.

Stage 4

Nell will be waiting for news, back at the Dropship Landing zone in the Moors of Ykesha.

Start:	I should bring the wrench back to Nell.
Complete:	I returned to Nell with the wrench that turns out to be her own.

I returned to Nell with the wrench that turns out to be her own.

Stage 5

The Geargobbler was last seen in Gnomeland Security HQ.

Start:	I should try and find the Geargobbler clockwork again, and use the master admin key on it.
Complete:	I used the master admin key to gain access to the Geargobbler's inner programs!

I used the master admin key to gain access to the Geargobbler's inner programs!

Stage 6

The security programs are annoying, but stupid. I will need to make my way to the central intelligence processor to learn anything of real use.

Start:	I must make my way past the security programs and find the central intelligence processor.
Complete:	I managed to interface with the central intelligence processor to learn of the origins and purpose of the Geargobbler.

I managed to interface with the central intelligence processor to learn of the origins and purpose of the Geargobbler.

Stage 7

Nell will be waiting for news, back at the Dropship Landing zone in the Moors of Ykesha.

Start:	Nell will be interested to hear what I learned of the Geargobbler!
Complete:	I returned to Nell with what I had learned of the Geargobbler. I'm still not sure she entirely believes me, but I know what I saw!

I returned to Nell with what I had learned of the Geargobbler. I'm still not sure she entirely believes me, but I know what I saw!

I found Didyma's friend Nell very puzzled by missing tools and components, and helped her by investigating the mysterious disappearance of her left-handed sonic wrench. Perhaps there is more truth to the roots of some gnomish children's tales than they had realized!

In-zone mobs are easy

You are given a zone buff called Superuser Access upon entering which gives you a number of advantages along the lines of Ark of Harclave. Thus, the mobs in the instanced zone are very easy even though they are heroic ^^. I've had three at a time on cloth and leather wearers (at 14 and at 72) and they barely get to 98% health. So without invisibility, it's not a difficult prospect getting to the Geargobbler System up top.

You can get the update by taking only the third (tell me about your objective) dialog option and skipping all the others.

Command of the Gnomish language is required to start or complete this quest.

Speak to Didyma at -576, 171, 996 in Gnomeland Security Headquarters in Steamfont Mountains to begin this quest.

a hidden clockwork

Superuser Access Buff

Head to Dropship Landing Zone in the Moors of Ykesha and look for Nell on the ground at 1745, 453, 796 .

The quickest way to Moors of Ykesha is by using the druid ring in Steamfont.

Head back to Gnomeland Security Headquarters in the Steamfont Mountains.

Quickest route is use the Unstable Tinkered Portal at 1779.70, 452.73, 837.28 in Moors to return to Steamfont.

Head over to -538, 174, 953 and you will see a stealthy clockwork. Speak to him and he will despawn quickly, dropping a wrench on the ground. Pick up the wrench.
Return to wrench to Nell in Moors of Ykesha. She gives you a Clockwork Admin Key.
Head back to Gnomeland Security Headquarters in Steamfont Mountains. Target a hidden clockwork at -596, 176, 933 and examine the admin key to use it. You will be teleported into an instanced zone, Admin Level Access.

This zone has even ^^ con mobs, but in 2012 they're reported as overconned.

Make your way east across the room (you may have to wait for mobs to path away) to the ramps to the upper level.

Invisibility and sneak will work here. Going up the southern ramp is the safest.

On the central plank (northern side) of the upper level is the Geargobbler System 4, 15, -6 . Go through all of its dialogue options for your update.

The safest way to this platform if you don't have invis is a well-aimed jump from the large eastern platform.

Return to Nell in Moors of Ykesha to complete the quest.
