eq2 quest:Friendly Competition  

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

Didyma instructs you to speak with Jon Jeffas at the Battleclock Ring ( -565,172,1048 ) Copy . Jon will ask you to collect several components from around Steamfont Mountains. This is challenging but not impossible for lower toons if your dodge-a-mob skills are good! The clockwork stable masters will also make your trip through Steamfont very quick.

Get the following items. We recommend you grab some extras if you're not a Tinkerer.

1. Gather some springs from around the valley that leads to Greater Faydark
• These are rusty springs. The entrance to the GFay corridor is at -541, 127, 657 Copy
2. Gather a sharp whirliblade from near the entrance to Klak'Anon
• Look for a discarded whirliblade. We found ours near to the steps to Klak'Anon ( -231, 84, 1404 ) Copy
3. Gather some armored plates from the destroyed clockworks around the Mazkeen Crater
• These are dilapidated armored plates. They are found outside the crater around -805, 132, 777 Copy ).
4. Gather some used gnomish grease from around Gnomeland Security
• You need a gnomish grease can. These can be found in almost every building inside Gnomeland Security Headquarters:
• In Finbert's shop on a bench at -583, 175, 966 Copy
• In Fizza's shop on a gem-shaped pedestal at -522,175,1038 Copy
• In the Gnomeland Research and Development building on a table at -533,176,996 Copy
• In Garwater Regency at -561,175,922 Copy (there's two here)
• In Explosive Discoveries on a table at -522,179,1062 Copy
• In Voombin Bros. Salvage on a table at -600,176,1085 Copy
• In The Ak'anon Inn near the door at -636,175,1048 Copy
5. Return to Jon Jeffas. He'll give you some Battleclock Blueprints 1.1 and have you assemble a battlebot.
• This recipe requires Artisan level 2, and is trivial at a Tinkering skill of 5. In addition to the supplies you collected, you'll need 5 dull black coal per attempt (Fizza Cogsworth sells it, right next to the Work Bench at -520,175,1037 Copy ). You can't fail this, even if you are not a Tinkerer.
6. Go back to the battleclock ring and see how your creation does! You must be in the ring - right click Quixilver and select "use". After the fight, talk to Jon again.
