This quest is excellent and the bagpack is a great reward for it. It would be worth for every class to raise their Ak' Anon faction high enough to be able to do the quest.
The description posted here is very accurate and I had no problems solving the quest with it.
It is indeed essential to bind at the mechanic and gate there immediately upon handing in the report. Duster X is fast, by the time I had gated there it was already running along the path, so you will have to be quick. It conned 'threateningly' to me and actually resisted my lvl 30 nuke the first time.
I had to wait approximately 15 minutes for Duster V. At least I found a use for the Sentinel spell in this quest. I cast the spell onto the bridge near the receptionist while I waited on the path near the PoD. The Duster indeed triggered the Sentinel, so I waited for it to come. It is probably best to take it out close to the PoD area since the path isn't so narrow there, and no Guide is too close. It conned 'dubious' to me and didn't resist any spells.

After completing the "Series C Black Boxes" quest, you received a Daily Log ("Log Sheet of Clockwork 27c2"). Take this to Drekon Vebnebber (General Supplies) in Ak'Anon at location +875, -475 (he's on Find).
You say, 'Hail, Drekon Vebnebber' Drekon Vebnebber says 'Hello, _____. It is grand to make your acquaintance. I am the in-house merchant-slash-file clerk. I have goods to offer and I handle all the Gemchopper paperwork. Thrilling, don't you think?' Hand in the Daily Log: Drekon Vebnebber says 'Oh my! It seems two of the obsolete duster models were not fully shut down. You must find them. They could be anywhere in Ak'Anon! After you destroy them, take their scraps to Sanfyrd Montop. He is the operator of the scrapyard.' Your faction standing with Gem Choppers has been adjusted by 5. Your faction standing with Merchants of AkAnon has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with King AkAnon has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with Dark Reflection has been adjusted by -1. Your faction standing with Clan Grikbar has been adjusted by -1. You gain party experience!! Kill "Duster X" and "Duster V" and loot their scrap metals. Duster V spawns near the clockwork receptionist and travels to the pod area and back before despawning. It can sometimes be seen walking down the path through "the wall" just inside the city entrance and around the Priest of Discord area. At a certain point in his usual path he goes from walk speed to run speed. He shares a spawn cycle with Scrubber IV and Cleaner X, each one of them despawns after a few minutes before another one from the cycle respawns. Duster X is reportedly triggered after you gave the report to Drekon. It spawns by the mechanic by the tinkerer and travels up to the bridge then back near the paddlewheel. It's loot-locked, which means it shows as *Duster X and shows at the first rank on alphabetic track. You have slain Duster V! --You have looted a Scrap Metal.-- Item Lore: Duster V Scrap Metal. You have slain Duster X! --You have looted a Scrap Metal.-- Item Lore: Duster X Scrap Metal. Find Sanfyrd Featherhead at location 2020, -240 in Ak'Anon (on the other side of the river across from the Mines of Malfunction). You say, 'Hail, Sanfyrd Featherhead' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Greetings! I am the operator of this scrapyard. If you have any scrap metal, I would be glad to purchase it from you in loads of four. The Gemchoppers no longer allow me to accept blackbox fragments and micro servos.' Hand in the two Scrap Metals: Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'I hear there is one more on the loose. Find him and then I shall pay you.' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Good. The citizens of Ak'Anon are safe from those little critters. They may have injured someone; that is why they were deactivated. Here is something I found in the scrapyard. I hope you can find a purpose for it.' Your faction standing with Gem Choppers has been adjusted by 10. Your faction standing with Merchants of AkAnon has been adjusted by 2. Your faction standing with King AkAnon has been adjusted by 2. Your faction standing with Dark Reflection has been adjusted by -2. Your faction standing with Clan Grikbar has been adjusted by -1. You gain party experience!! You receive 4 silver from Sanfyrd Featherhead. You receive 1 gold from Sanfyrd Featherhead.

Yes this is a follow on Quest after the 'C' series quest. The resulting Clockwork Blackbox will be returned to you to take to Jodl. Jodl gives one of two reports back: The start of the Red V quest, or the Duster Series quest.
I just completed this quest for my Enchanter. I had to do the 'C' series quest 5 times in order to finally get the report I wanted. The Log that is given back by Jodl will indicate if it's a Red V or Duster quest following. It's not hard to redo the 'C' quests, as long at a) the C clockwork is in front of the Mines of Malfunction and b) Jodl is at his post (Darn those Gnome Killers, they must DIE!)
When you tender the Report that triggers the Duster quest, RUN to the bridge before the tunnel that leads to the Waterwheel cavern, I've always caught up to Duster X there.
The reward of the Bootstrutters Framed pack can only be claimed if you have a Top Inventory slot open... Don't forget to have one clear when you visit Mophead (the same guy used in various quests, including the fairy wing for Raincaller).

...not the Druids. He is one of people they have to kill for the Deep Six Cutlass, a pali only weapon. I'm also told he tends to go on a walkabout every so often and can be hard to find.
Me? I waited for a server reset and caught him at the windmills. Four times before he gave me the Duster report!

I can attest to the fact that Jogl is hard to find. I spent a few hours last night and a couple again today waiting and searching for him. I recruited trackers to help but to no avail, if he was out there he wasn't near the windmills. Someone also told me that druids need to kill him for one or two of their quests, and that he is a popular target for people to kill for exp as they pass by. So be prepared to put a lot of time into cornering him.

In my opinion, this quest has BY FAR the best reward for its difficulty of any in the game. The Bootstrutters pack (common reward) is a 10 slot backpack that weighs less than a normal, AND IS WEIGHT REDUCING. From my trials, moving any object of weight (about) 7 or more reduces your encumbrance by 1 (which I estimate at about 15% weight reduction). For only having to kill 2 creatures of level 5 or less, that is INCREDIBLE. I think this quest is Verant's way of thumbing their noses at those who think there is no penalty for killing gnomish guards.

Jogl is often not at the windmills. You will have to check back often to find him. He is usually near the guard there on the hill by the first windmill but I have also seen him inside the third windmill with his pet Charlotte and I have seen him on top of the second windmill - where you could not hope to reach him to give the note! Ugh!

You can do both this, and the Red V quest at about the same time, especially when Red is camped. Especially good, if you have 2 or 3 lowbies (4-6) grouped. It makes for ok xp, but nice loot.
