NOTE: THIS TASK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN GAME.
For an overview of Veil of Alaris pre-launch events, see this quest entry. This is a pre-launch group mission leading up to the Veil of Alaris expansion, expected to be available only for a certain period of time ahead of VOA's launch. There are two versions of this task: One for Level 90s and another for lower levels (only differences are in mob difficulty and reward quality). The Level 90 version of this task is of Tier 4 House Of Thule difficulty. NOTE: To get the Level 90 version, your group's average level has to be 90 and a Level 90 player has to request the task. To get the lower level version, your group's average level has to be below 90 and a lower level player has to be the one to request the task.

He's found at the work site in the far southeastern part of the Steamfont Mountains at location -1410, -1500, 4. You say, 'Hail, Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper' Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper says 'Hey, watch your step! We are working with a lot of dangerous materials around here. What do you want anyway? I don't have time for any shenanigans, if that's what you're up to. I am already [behind] schedule on building the engine for the airship that is being built here.' You say, 'Behind schedule?' Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper says 'I sent my assistant, Bizlo, to the Plane of Innovation yesterday to fetch some parts, but he hasn't returned. I don't have time to go looking for him. Instead of just getting in my way, why don't you go [find] him for me? I'll make it worth your while.' You have been assigned the task 'Engine Trouble'. Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper in the Steamfont Mountains has a problem. He sent his assistant, Bizlo to the Plane of Innovation to gather some parts to make the engine for the blimp, but he hasn't returned yet. Elroy has asked you to find him. You say, 'I'll find your assistant' Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper says 'Good. When you're [ready] to leave, I will send you off to the Plane of Innovation.' You say, 'Ready!' Mechanic Elroy Gearstripper says 'Off you go, then.' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Plane of Innovation. Speak with Bizlo 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Task Window Says: Find Bizlo in the Plane of Innovation and speak with him. This won't be too difficult as he's right where you zone in. You say, 'Hail, Bizlo' Bizlo says 'Let me guess; Elroy sent you, right? Well, before you haul me back and he junks me for scrap metal, what happened here wasn't my [fault].' You say, 'Not your fault?' Bizlo says 'Actually, I guess it was my fault. I accidently tripped some sort of security system here. Now the whole place is on lockdown. To make matters worse, I fried a circuit trying to override the [security system].' You say, 'What security system?' Bizlo says 'There are electrical fields everywhere and security forces scouring the area, looking for intruders. I can't disable them all, but maybe you can. I have learned that some different colored [crystals] must be found and placed into the correct security consoles.' You say, 'Colored crystals?' Bizlo says 'Apparently the various clockworks in the area carry the crystals. Get them and disable to security system. Oh, and don't touch the electric barriers, unless you want to be instantly fried. If you don't think you can handle all of this, I can [send] you back to Steamfont.' Give the correct color of crystal to the first security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Give the correct color of crystal to the second security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Give the correct color of crystal to the third security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Give the correct color of crystal to the fourth security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Give the correct color of crystal to the fifth security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Give the correct color of crystal to the sixth security console to deactivate it 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) NOTE: This task locks once you turn in the sixth crystal. The above six steps open one at a time, so you'll have to do the turn-ins in order. The first console is in the first room north of the zone-in. From there, you'll make your way around until all six have been done (consoles will be marked on your compass). Crystals drop in bulk from the clockwork golems and security bots in the zone. The clockwork golems hit for a max ~8,400 and are mezzable. Each security console is surrounded by 4x "a security bot". These are mezzable; splittable; not tethered; hit for a max ~5,000; and AE rampage. They have a lot of hitpoints compared to the golems and are fairly spell resistant. The first console is at location 290, 1445, 5 (northwest of the central room) and takes a red crystal. The second console is at location 600, 1130, 5 (northernmost console) and takes a green crystal. The third console is at location 300, 800, 5 (northeast of the central room) and takes a blue crystal. The fourth console is at location -285, 800, 5 (southeast of the central room) and takes a black crystal. The fifth console is at location -600, 1115, 5 (southernmost console) and takes a clear crystal. The sixth console is at location -255, 1455, 5 (southwest of the central room) and takes a purple crystal. (See this map for location information.) As you turn in a crystal, you'll see: You have successfully deactivated the security console! If you turn in an incorrect crystal, you'll just get it back. Defeat Rubbish Eater 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Task Window Says: Now that all of the security consoles have been deactivated, you are to find and destroy Rubbish Eater. Destroying Rubbish Eater will lower the final electric barriers that are blocking access to the rest of the Plane of Innovation. Rubbish Eater is found in the central room. Rubbish Eater's gears begin to whir, activated by your presence. It hits for a max ~8,900 and spawns waves of adds (unknown if timed or health-based): 9x "a rubbish seeker" in a wave (mezzable; stunnable; hits for max ~225). Rubbish Eater has been slain by _____! Your task 'Engine Trouble' has been updated. Speak with Bizlo 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) You say, 'Hail, Bizlo' Bizlo says 'Nice work deactivating the security system. Now perhaps you can help me do what I came here to do in the first place. I am still trying to repair my damaged circuit, so I need you to go collect the parts for the engine. Let's see. . . we will need several [power sources], a [large metal hull], and a huge bundle of [scrap metal].' You say, 'Power sources?' Bizlo says 'You should be able to get the power sources from any of the clockworks around here.' You say, 'What large metal hull?' Bizlo says 'The hull I had my eye on can be obtained by defeating a rather nasty clockwork named Junk Crawler.' You say, 'What scrap metal?' Bizlo says 'I saw a strange gnome that was collecting scrap metal. Maybe you could get the metal from him. He didn't look too friendly though, so be careful.' This opens up the next eight steps: Defeat Junk Crawler 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Junk Crawler is found at 775, -975 (in the easternmost dead end area). It hits for a max ~8,900. Junk Crawler scurries quickly towards you. Junk Crawler has been slain by _____! Your task 'Engine Trouble' has been updated. Loot the Large Metal Hull from Junk Crawler 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Deliver the Large Metal Hull to Bizlo 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Collect power sources from clockworks 0/20 (Plane of Innovation) This is a common (but not 100%) drop from the mobs throughout the outside area of the zone. Deliver the power sources to Bizlo 0/20 (Plane of Innovation) Kill Bilfius Botsworth 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Bilfius is found at location 970, 220 (northern part of the zone -- see this map. He hits for a max ~8,900; does NOT summon; and has no regeneration. At about 70% health, he warps away: Bilfius teleports to a different location! Bilfius shouts, 'You will never find me!' He's now found at 1280, -400 (east of his first location). He'll again port away at about 50%: Bilfius teleports to a different location! Bilfius shouts, 'I so love to play hide and seek! Come and find me, fools!' He's now found at 1915, -240 (in the dead-end area north of his first and second locations). He'll again port away at about 20%: Bilfius teleports to a different location! Bilfius shouts, 'This is hilarious! Are you all having fun?' He's now found at 1500, 960 (inside the clockwork house in the northwest part of the zone). This, time you can kill him. NOTE: There are two clockwork devices outside the house that will aggro you if you don't kill them first. Bilfius Botsworth has been slain by _____! Your task 'Engine Trouble' has been updated. Loot the Huge Bundle of Scrap Metal from Bilfius Botsworth's corpse 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Deliver the Huge Bundle of Scrap Metal to Bizlo 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) Speak with Bizlo 0/1 (Plane of Innovation) You say, 'Hail, Bizlo' Bizlo says 'Okay, it looks like we have all the materials for the engine now. Thanks for helping me. I have just about repaired my damaged circuit, so I will be heading back to Elroy soon. Make sure you take something from this chest here for your efforts. When you are ready to [leave], just let me know.'
