This task begins with Researcher Stripcog in Fortress Mechanotus at location 195, -1520, 400 (in the third tent at the zone-in, behind Pyrotechnician Flizcog).

You say, 'Hail, Researcher Stripcog'

Researcher Stripcog says 'Oh hello. You must want work. Yes of course you do. Always need something to do. So you are [doing] this then? Good good. Well what are you standing around for go do it!'

You say, 'I'm doing it'

Researcher Stripcog says 'Did I forget to [tell] you what to do?'

You say, 'You didn't tell me...'

Researcher Stripcog says 'Oh dear. Sorry. I have unearthed a device that will allow a being to teleport to the top of each of the gyrospires. This device will not work in its current state because there used to be three gyrospires, and with only two, the calibration is very incorrect. It is so incorrect that I will have to replace many of the gyroscopes that the device uses to target the proper spot on the gyrospires. Therefore, I need you to [find] the gyroscopes.'

You say, 'Where can I find them?'

Researcher Stripcog says 'Did I leave out information again? Well this time I actually do not know. It is a needle in a haystack. It is so much of one that I used a seer. However, you know seers; they are so imprecise. If you wish to [take] this task I will happily write the information she gave me into your book.'

You say, 'I'll take this task'

You have been assigned the task 'Gyrospire Relocation Research'.

Researcher Stripcog says 'Oh goody! I have wanted this thing to work. I will not give you the device until you show me you have all of the gyroscopes. Bring them to me and then I will give you the device. Be sure you have space for a container when you bring them back. Additionally after your calibration I will need to make some final calibration steps.'



The respawn time of the ground spawns appears to be around 4m15s

Give Researcher Stripcog the tuned Gyrospire Relocation Device 0/1 (Fortress Mechanotus)

Give the Gyrospire Relocation Device to Researcher Stripcog.

Researcher Stripcog says 'Yes. This is great. This will work out just great. I justneedtoadjustthisandpressthatandshiftthatand yes, there it goes. That should work. Thank you very much. This will be very useful in our efforts. You can keep this device as with your efforts I now know how to duplicate this. When you use the item, if you are facing north you will go to gyrospire zeka, but if you are facing south you will go to gyrospire beza. If you are at the gyrospire, and not at the landing point, you will go to the landing point, and if you are at the landing point you will go to the other gyrospire. Neat huh?!?'

She returns the item which you can now use to transport to the roofs of Beza or Zeka (to the same locations as the last updates in each gyrospire).

Unrest is back to it's original state now, and the groundspawn is available to complete this quest.

They are pre-lootable. Well sort off. I had pre-looted 2, one on the way from Steamfont, and one I had had for ages from the brownies. When I requested the task I got an update on the recently looted one but not the brownie kill one.

I confirm the Kedge, Unrest, Mistmoore, Butcherblock, and oot locations.

There was also some difficulty picking up the fish in kedge, one person had to log out and log back in to make it clickable.

There is about 3-4 minutes between spawns.

# Ground spawn just inside Kedge Keep, pick up the dead fish at approximately +60, +25
# Ground spawn within the eastern maze in Unrest at approximately +330, -160
# Ground spawn in Castle Mistmoore, just outside the castle proper at approximately +130, +25
# Ground spawn in Butcherblock at approximately +1300, -1550
# Ground spawn underwater in the Ocean of Tears, between Siren Islands at approximately +25, +2000

OOT is between Siren Islands but can be difficult to see.
I found approaching from the west and looking south east the spawn glittered with reflected light. At 29.43, 1971.00, 500.36

I did finally after an hour of tracking and killing "a darkvine thistle" get 2 of that one to drop, one in a tree, one on the ground.

In Loping Plains I found Dark Grey on green, at 2458.12, 2881.16, 341.41 thats north west of the oracle tree. This one seemed lighted from the West.

Hills of Shade 448.55 2010.23 10.11, again easiest to see from the west.
Is directly south of the statue and almost on top of it. Statue is on west side of the zone, my map had Erollisi's grove listed as that area.
