Mechagnome

DISCLAIMER: 8.3 Story Spoilers below! Don't read on if you don't wanna be spoiled!

Attunement Tool

The Mechagonian Threat requires completion of the Mechagon storyline, which should take several hours and a dungeon run to complete. Reference the Comprehensive Mechagon Guide if you need assistance with any quest.

Exalted with Rustbolt Resistance may take several weeks to obtain, as you can only earn a limited amount of reputation through Mechagon daily quests and tasks. Reference the Rustbolt Resistance Reputation Guide for details on all the available dailies and special ways to gain reputation with the Rustbolt Resistance.

Help from Mechagon

Kelsey Steelspark: Even if the mechagnomes can't help him, they could power the pod long enough for me to find someone who can.
---
Kelsey Steelspark: Perfect! The homing copter will take him directly to Mechagon!
Kelsey Steelspark: I... probably should have told Erazmin to expect us. Let's try to get there ahead of the pod!

What Makes a Leader

Cadence Wareham: Someone that will appreciate the finer things in life!
Crush Brewtowne: Definitely the finer... hic... things.
Elya Codepunch: Well, they must be at least as brilliant as I! Or is it me?
Petra Cogwenne: Gelbin is the greatest inventor! You need no other information!
---
Idee Quickcoil: A sharp-minded problem solver that I can go to when my inventions go awry!
Yerwin Galvaquad: Gelbin creates things that make the world better. He keeps us moving, he keeps us safe. No one can look through the gnomes with Mekkatorque before us.
Alvin Teasprocket: He listens and shares ideas from his prolific mind. He can untangle a mess that seems insurmountable, without losing his cool.
Pete Mixelgear: He plays a mean harmonica.
---
Lelu Multipass: If someone is willing to fight for us, protect us, I will follow them to the Blasted Lands and back again!
Pegi Cogster: A good leader would give us ownership... and accountability. They would not micromanage us.
Spark Nimblecog: They would have courage, and honesty - They would trust us and build us up!
Abel Camhorn: Why, Gelbin, he is the most magnanimous, big-hearted, big-brained, big-eared man to wear the heavy mantle of leading us wily gnomefolk.
Abel Camhorn: I think that young man has done a right good job of it!
---
Quimby Sparklighter: When one is as shiny as me, some can't see past the sparkle. A good leader is not fooled by superficial things.
Endora Enginator: A good leader is there for their people.
Luka Morespark: Want them to not be a dastard...
Raz L. Dazzle: Gelbin is strong of heart... and he's not afraid to say what is really on his mind.
---
Flouresce Brightgear: I'd just like for someone to help us clean this mess.
Lanna Statiglow: Gelbin notices those that put in more effort, care more, try harder... he sees those that just make things better.
---
Stuard Sharpsprocket: He shares his responsibilities, he is one of you. He is more than a leader, he is our friend.
Twyla Flickspring: There is nothing Mekkatorque would not do to help a fellow gnome. His loyalty is to us first, the Alliance second... as it should be.
Jaska Aeroflange: Mekkatorque's trust brings confidence. I don't know how to explain it better. When he tells me I can do a thing... you know what? I realize I can!
Briony Vandercog: There is none I respect more.
Sapphronetta Flivvers: A good leader should have strong eyebrows. His are very commanding!

Christy Punchcog: Excellent. Now we use the data to synchronize the units with the subject's neural oscillations.
Christy Punchcog: Fire the synchroscope!
Christy Punchcog: Amazing gamma amplitude in this sequence. With a few adjustments, we can enhance his logical reasoning tenfold.
Sapphronetta Flivvers: We like him just the way he is, though. Too much logic, and he could lose his heart.
Christy Punchcog: A seemingly frivolous priority, given the opportunity to achieve perfection...
Christy Punchcog: But if you insist, I will retain his prior functionality... flaws and all.

Christy Punchcog: The reactor is locked in.
Christy Punchcog: Flip! You're up!
Flip Quickcharge: Excellent, I just need a moment to calibrate the circuit.
Flip Quickcharge: Done! Go ahead and flip the switch!
Flip Quickcharge: Defibrillate at will!
Flip Quickcharge: Uh... did it work?
Flip Quickcharge: It worked!
Gelbin Mekkatorque: Where.... where am I?
Gelbin Mekkatorque: What happened? The attack on Dazar'alor...
Gelbin Mekkatorque: You have my sincerest gratitude, Prince Erazmin. As do you, Kelsey. And you, champion.
Kelsey Steelspark: We couldn't have done it without the people of Mechagon. And I think I know a way we can repay the favor.

Gnomanity Stands as One

Gelbin Mekkatorque: I can hardly believe my eyes... the fabled city of Mechagon! Most impressive, Prince Erazmin!
Prince Erazmin: Thank you. Sadly, for too long this city has symbolized thd schism my father created between my people and the rest of gnomanity.
Prince Erazmin: For all our upgrades, we mechagnomes now realize that we are still gnomes at heart. If you will have us, it is our wish to reunite with Gnomeregan.
Prince Erazmin: And I would be honored if you, High Tinker, would lead us.
Gelbin Mekkatorque: Prince Erazmin... It is I who am honored. I will accept your request, with one condition.
Gelbin Mekkatorque: You must promise to stand beside me, as my counselor... and my friend.
Prince Erazmin: Absolutely, High Tinker.
Gelbin Mekkatorque: Come, let us address our people... together.
---
Kelsey Steelspark: Gnomes and mechagnomes. Today is a joyous occasion many centuries in the making! The reunification of Gnomeregan and Mechagon!
Kelsey Steelspark: Just as the citizens of Mechagon thrive from the union of flesh and steel, so too will our union bring us success and prosperity!
Kelsey Steelspark: At the behest of Prince Erazmin, it is my privilege to announce the ruler of an undivided gnomekind--Gelbin Mekkatorque, King of the Gnomes!

Gelbin Mekkatorque: You have my sincerest gratitude, Prince Erazmin. As do you, Kelsey. And you, champion.Comment by JoshmaulI don't think officially, but using the Void Elves and Lightforged Draenei as precedent, who could be unlocked by doing the grind on a Horde character, then completing the questline on a max-level Alliance character, it should function the same way.Comment by LolumbineDo you need exalted with an alliance character?Comment by rossyysAnd thus, the Underpants Gnomes joined the Alliance.Comment by KaraKaoriSo when we beat an Alliance leader in a raid, they end up just fine. But when Horde leaders are raid bosses, maybe not right away, but they end up dead.Comment by derokjHas it been officially clarified if performing the Rustbolt exalted grind and the mechagon questline on a horde character will satisfy the prerequisite requirements and allow an alliance character on the same account access to the race unlock quest line?Comment by offspinnerIt's disappointing that we have to run a dungeon to unlock this race. The rep requirement is trivial, the 5-man content less so.Comment by hotaru251sigh...and here I was hoping he'd stay comatose...

literally the msot boring leader of all races on alliance side...

barely does ANYTHING.Comment by JoshmaulGelbin Mekkatorque: Where.... where am I?

Gelbin Mekkatorque: You have my sincerest gratitude, Prince Erazmin. As do you, Kelsey. And you, champion.Comment by JaggedTriangleHeya! Great article as always, just a quick grammatical thing; “troggs found and stolen Mekkatorque's escape pod!” Is grammatically incorrect, it should be “found and stole”. Anyways sorry for the botherComment by Vasiliskiyou know what I loved in this story?

it evolves story of a leader and makes him better. instead of ruining them beyond recognition (aka. Anduin. Baine. etc)Comment by DeathwarlockSince you need to grind Volduni reputation on a Horde character to unlock the Vulpera, I dearly hope that unlocking Mechagnomes will require reaching Exalted with the Rustbolt Resistance on an Alliance character.

Alliance has been getting the short end of the stick with allied race unlocking conditions since the beginning, with Highmountain Tauren and Nightfallen reputations being significantly easier and faster to grind than Army of the Light and Argussian Reach, and now the Volduni vs. Rustbolt Resistance.

It is time to reverse on this Hordeward spiral!Comment by 1808749This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by CrossarchDo you need exalted with an alliance character?
