Jarah Reskan may be found in Gemchoppers Hall at 840, -463.

You say, 'Hail, Jarah Reskan'

Jarah Reskan says 'Greetings, child. Welcome to Gemchopper Hall. I trust that you are a [warrior], or perhaps you are lost..?'

You say, 'I am a warrior.'

Jarah Reskan says 'That is good news! We gnomes are not known for our love of battle so it is always good to bring new blood into our ranks. We shall prove our worth as warriors to all other races. For now, there is much to do in Ak'Anon. There are [rogue clockworks] and the [cargo clockwork].'

You say, 'Cargo clockwork?'

Jarah Reskan says 'The cargo clockwork is located near the entrance to Ak'Anon in the Steamfont Mountains. It runs a delivery to the windmills every five days at eight in the morning. There have been attacks by a group of highwaymen. They are quite a formidable group. I have offered a reward for their heads. Be very careful if you plan on escorting the cargo clockwork. This trio of bandits is very strong.'

Zondo Hyzill stands close to the spawn point of the Cargo Clockwork in the Steamfont Mountains.

You say, 'Hail, Zondo Hyzill'

Zondo Hyzill says 'Glad to meet you. Our Cargo Clockwork is marvelous, no?'

You say, 'Yes, it is marvelous.'

You get no other response from him.

Every 5 ingame EQ days (or 6 real-time hours) the Cargo Clockwork will make a journey from his starting position near Ak'Anon to the windmills. He will leave at 7 AM gametime.

Cargo Clockwork takes off.

Cargo Clockwork says 'this unit requires oiling.'

The cargo clockwork will proceed at an agonizingly slow pace towards the windmills. It will take him approximately 9 minutes to get there, he will arrive around 10AM gametime.

Watchman Grep says 'What a glorious machine the cargo clockwork is!!'

Cargo Clockwork Chuga.. Chug..Chug..

Cargo clockwork will emote various phrases during his journey. Eventually, the Cargo Clockwork arrives at the windmills.

Frebin Tinderhue says, 'Hmm. Sounds like the weekly shipment has arrived. I'd better go grab it.'

Cargo clockwork will stand at the windmills for around 2-3 minutes before making it's journey back towards Ak'anon.

A short distance away from the windmills you will be attacked by the three bandits.

Cargo Clockwork says 'The chugging of the Cargo Clockwork comes to a halt. Cargo Clockwork say, This is highway robbery!'

Your Location is -717.50, 114.49, -109.82

Three highway bandits attack: Hector, Jerald and Renaldo. Once they're dead loot their heads.

--You have looted a Hector's Severed Head.--
--You have looted a Jerald's Severed Head.--
--You have looted a Renaldo's Severed Head.--

Head back to Ak'Anon and give the heads to Jarah.

If done before Luclin:

Jarah Reskan says, 'I heard our shipment made it back safely. These heads will send a message to any other thief that plans on robbing our cargo shipments. Thank you (character name), take this coin as your reward. I'm sorry to say we're currently out of masks.'

You get coin instead. (How much?)

Otherwise:

Jarah Reskan says 'I heard our shipment made it back safely. These heads will send a message to any other thief that plans on robbing our cargo shipments. Thank you ______, take this mask and this coin as your reward.'

Has anyone with tracking checked to see if the NPC's (noted as the "bandits") spawn when the Cargo clockwork starts it's journey? Perhaps you are supposed to kill them before the cargo clockwork depops?

try putting some oil and the lockbox in a toolkit and repairing it.. or however gnomes tinker. It needs oil, it needs to be repaired... when it despawns it drops something vital to every clockwork. dunno try different stuff you tinkering tinkerers!
err ya

Bugglegup is another quest. One of the gnomes in the mechanimagica wants you to kill him and bring him the metal pellet you find. He spawns near the druid ring, though not that often. I think he's around lvl 8 or 9.
lemme explain a lil

Freddie dogger is a rouge follow of meldrathz cult, asylum of the mad, they where building a machine of somesort. maybe you should try giving the lock box to the warrior guild leader manik compelton since when you talk to other people manly the chick next door in the middle of the rooms next to the merch says it is his responibility, shiny key cards gives you the bootstrutters framed back pack in the long run or the quest for red 5. Driver brungin is the clockworks driver not guard. Now the cargo only goz if you talk to zondo on the proper day so in other words. talk to zondo every eq day check by hittin /time before 8 am. I suggest giving it a Drop of grease or some other thing, check the gnome merchants, when it says "this unit needs oil." also try asking around about meldrath and asylm of the mad perhaps it is a bunch of rouges of some sort <since gnomes maybe messing up gears> they follow meldrath's cult and stab people when they get the chance. when i had a lvl 8 necro i was killed by freddie dodger and i have never saw him agian in all the time i have played eq maybe he has something of importance since it is rumored among npc gnomes meldrath reprogramed the clockworks,that went to destroy what meldrath was making, making the rouge and runway clockworks that are in steamfont.

Supposedly this was to be fixed in a recent past patch.
It was wednesday at 8am when cargo took off.
It said "this unit needs oil"
It proceded up the main path tward the mills.
Upon passing the first Gnome Guard it the cargo makes some strange noise lick tziiit!
The gaurd says"what a wonderfull machine the cargo cloack work is!"
I followed it to the mills(it walks real slow)
When it got to the mills it said"this unit needs repair"
The gnome female thats always thier and talks about the sky i think says "what was that noise?"
Cargo after a brief pause then turns around gets 75% of the way back to its starting point then depops back to its spawn point...
???? No highway men attacked during this "ESCORT"
Maybe it needs to be repaired by a Gnome tinkerer PC???

I just kill the cargo clockwork today (5-11-01) it was at the windmills right by the female gnome at the first windmill. i know this because i was just sitting and medding and she said "do you hear that noise?" so i stood up to see what the NPC was talking about and there was the cargo clockwork. i conned it it was blue to me (level 34) so i made a pet and waited for it to leave the guard by the windmill as soon as it did i tashed it, AoE stuned, rooted, Dotted, let pet beat on it for awhile, and threw in a couple anarchys (273 DD) and it dropped. My pet did die in the fight though but fortuneitly it just took one more spell to kill it. It only dropped scrap metal but right after i killed it a mob spawned called driver B-something. he said something along the lines of " oh look at the Cargo! it is all ruined, you must pay for this. But then right after that he said " another fiend as fallen to the gemhoppers" as if i had died so i thought i would kill the lil' punk he conned green to me and it only took 2 shots to kill him he dropped no money and a rusty dagger. Hope this helps
try givin it to the gnome

Maybe it does something if you return the lockbox to the gnome that fixe it. I have never tried it.
Another thing, does it go every 5 days or gamedays?

this quest has been broken for quite some time now, the cargo clockwork never gets farther than the path outside Ak'Anon

Warrior Guild?
# Feb 25 2001 at 8:47 PM Rating: Default
I know there's a quest in the warrior guild in Ak'Anon that a little tinman instructs you on...

he gives you a 'keycard' of some variety and tells you to get a blackbox off a clockwork... I've never figured it out, maybe it's this lockbox your'e supposed to unlock with the card given to you?

Just some thoughts.
RE: Warrior Guild?

look up the c series clockwork quest for what to do with the key cards.
Freddie doober? a bandit maybe?
# Jan 25 2001 at 8:29 PM Rating: Default
This gnome "Freddie" attacked me by the windmills,on the road side. Only conned yellow to my 10th lvl druid. Could he be one of the bandits? cause i could n't find him on the bestiary list for steamfont.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jan 08 2001 at 3:07 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Recently, mobs called a highwayman have been added to the game. they're in the towers on the ramp going down from HH to the plains of East Karana. There are three of them, one in each tower, with sometimes regular bandits instead... Alas the few of them i killed only dropped bandit sashes...
