Whizzlebang Twempt can be found at between the zone lines for LP and DSH.

Found him this morning and here's the info i got from him.

"Hail Whizzlebang Twemp"

Well Well! you look foolish... er... Strong and Powerful! What would you say to a business [proposition]?

"what proposition?"

Well it's simple enough <name>. Being the observant <race> i know you are, I'm sure you've noticed the large floating contraption in this area! That monstrosity must be dealt with and the Ak'anon Strike Force is on the [job]!

"what job?"

It's clear to us in the ASF that we must fight clockwork with clockwork. That's why we are proud to have constructed our I.R.A. to deal with the upstart Maldrath. Once we have worked out the, er, [kinks] we'll be able to swiftly deal with this situation!

"what kinks?'

Well, with any ambitious project there are bound to be problems to overcome! Surely you know that! Actually, <name>, that's why i am so glad you stopped by! You see, we need some help with a few easy [tests]. If you are [interested], i assure you that you and any friends you bring along will be richly rewarded.

"What tests?"

It's quite simple. The I.R.A. is our Infinitely Regenerative Automaton. Designed and constructed to be an unstopable and destructive force, I.R.A will recover from any defeat and return stronger and stronger! All we need now are a few practice runs. Are you [interested]?

"I am interested"

Excellent <name>! Please let me know when you are [ready] and i will transport you to our secret testing facility. Good luck and we assure that your next of kin will be contacted in the event that anything unexpected might occur while you are assisting with our testing!

Bring a raid force, sounds like this event will be fun, think this quest NPC is lvl 80, he coned yellow to me at 79. Gonna come back with raid force later tonight and try this new thing out. This is the first Raid event for EQ's Living Legacy and is in effect from 6-9-08 thru 6-15-08 (at least for now)

*edit-All relevant info already submitted and in available Quest threads. Also, all related NPCs were removed from game as of SoF release (13nov07). This was a temporary quest line, and granted titles to interested parties, pre-SoF only.

Anyone know how rare he is. I'll be looking for him very soon to do my epic. ALso is Renux hard to kill (she spawns after giving him item)

I have not seen anyone mention the best part about this zone yet. In that pit thing, near the druid rings, spawn little lvl 2 infected rats that drop plague rat tails about 1 out of 3 times. The tails sells for about 1.5 plat, which is nice at lvl 2 8D. also, the kobolds often dropped regular 6 slot backpacks, like the ones merchants sell for 5ish gold each (although i dont see it on any of the kobold's drop lists, but trust me, they do). ALSO, the kobolds (at the time this is posted) drop furs, which sell for about 7 gold each and fangs, which sell for about 3 gold each if i remember correctly. i think that makes this one of the best noob zones for loot, but thats just IMHO

Edited, Fri Jul 4 12:03:12 2003

It is a magic item but does nothing. What is it used for? It's not listed in any gnomish or tinkering recipes that I have found nor is it in this sites database. Anybody have a clue. Merchants will buy it though. Cant remember the exact price though, maybe around 4 gold or something.

Any info would be appreciated.

I have had the darndest time trying to find a young ebon drake.I need a young ebon drake wing to complete my initiate watchman armor set.This wing represents my final recipe piece to make my IW guantlets. So if you know where I can find a young ebon drake I would appreciate the knowledge.

I was playing an alt and wandering around Steamfont when I came accross 4 NPC's standing around, thinking they were the ones that droped the pages for the casters book I killed them quickly, but all they droped where these weird weapons:
Jibble's Stelleto
Vyntok's Mace
Domlix's Short Sword
Winex's Staff
Faeroneliop's Staff

What the heck are these? Some new quest or were they put in for the PvP servers? All are no drop and they got newbie stats.

just wanted to say on test server they redone the steamfront mountains for the newbie armor quests. they added 4 more kobald camps and a second minatour slavers camp. also a bunch of new critters to liven thing up..overall its not too bad.. only real bad part is that they added a few too many aggressive monsters(lvls 3-5) in the newbie area. Kobalds give pos faction to the gemcutters. and the evil gnomes have there own separate armor quests(just to make it tempting to play that evil gnome warrior)

Many Message boards have said this.

I surely hope not....

I'm still very new to this game. (only about 1 1/2 weeks) I have a 9th level Gnome Necro. I've played him pretty much solo here, only a few groups.

From level 1-4 it was pretty easy. The newbie zone in South East Corner with Druid ring to sell stuff is nice... Only certain death happens every now and again with an NPC Bugglegupp. She always seems to spawn on me when I'm resting. Even at level 9 she kills me if given 1/2 a chance.

Level 5-7 was alot harder. Not much that you can kill and still get exp. The Kobold camp real close to the newbie zone is nice.. Only Bugglegupp still pisses you off from time to time. By 7th the only guys you can get exp for and still take are about 1/2 the Kobolds that spawn and they are blue.

Finally you get to 8th. As a Necro I can finally take on yellows 1 at a time and kick thier buts. Skeletons and mino slavers are your prey. 2 places to really hunt. Near the Windmills and the Ancient Dragon Skeleton.

There are more skeletons in the North East corner.. But you are too small to hope to get through the Earth and Wind Elles, the young dragons and clockworks to get there saftly. Also there are 2 wandering bad boys out there. The Mino Hero and Orc Priest ( I think) Both will kill you on site.. maybe before then.

Back to the Skeles in the Dragon Skeles. You can only take 1 at a time. So hit the one on the dragon's mouth. He will be the only one to drag out to you. Problem. Slow regen on him. and 3 monsters have a chance of regining. Mino Slaver (good), Skeleton (very good) and a gnome skeleton (bad, no money, no exp) then you gotta wait forever for the next regen. The plus is that both the mino slavers and skeletons are anywhere from yellow to blue. Also 2 times today a wandering NPC Freddi Doogie or something like that killed me for no reason. Just came up while I was medding and stomped the crap outta me.

Ok.. So now you try the Windmills. several monsters there. Skeletons, Pumas (dangerous), Young Dragons (dangerous), Plague rats (very dangerous) and a Female Rat (extreamly dangerous). Skeletons and Pumas you can take prolly waisting most of your mana. Only big problem is that plague rats and the Female rat will gang up with anything on you. You will get plauged and the female rat hits really really hard for a rat. Run for the Windmills if you get in trouble. At least that is what everyone says.. There is an NPC that will kill all the monsters that come near the windmills..

NOT!!!! count on him to kill all the ones that you feared or got on the run (so you get no exp) and count on him to stand off and laugh at you while you die running circles around the Windmills.

Up to level 10 there are aprox 4 sure fire deaths that wander around, (Bugglegupp, Freddie Doogie, Mino Hero, and the Orc Priest). An unreliable guard at the Windills, Halv the next closest guard is camped so he is no help (I don't complain about that too much the killers let me loot him so I got alot of money. laugh).

Well all I can say is that for me, this zone has been full of death. My corpses have littered nearly every part of this zone. Of course I know I'm still new and not a very good player, but I tell all you wouldbe gnomes to becareful here and walk softly and quickly.

Hope this helps,

Mikben

Anybody know if there is any place close to Steamfront Mountains for dark races (specifically Trolls) to buy and sell?

i am a gnome necro and saw something that kind of confused me.i saw a kobold shaman no where near the kobold camp but at the bottom of one of the three newbie hills.i left him there and when i came back he wasnt there but bugglegupp was.i had never seen the shaman there before so i was wonderin those this happen alot or is this just a glitch.

What do you do with Infected Rat Livers? They are no drop, does that mean there is a quest for them? In my experience NODROP items tend to be quest items, but I not sure, lemme know if you can. . .

Thanks. . .

The new kobold near the mino entrance is called the Koblod missionary and he drops a no drop scroll but i hav eno idea what it does)

I'm a lvl 5 bard and things are going just fine except a lack of armor i have 3 pieces of bronze gloves helment and scimitar and thats it is there an easy way for me to make money or just keep killing every thing i see?

A naked wood elf

Tried this tactic at level 13 with my druid, works well with a second person also.
Stand next to a rogue clockwork, they often stand still. Snare a drake or harpy, you could use any spell. The drake or harpy casts an area effect spell which aggros the clockwork, your free pet. You have to outdamage the clockwork or have a partner attack it so u get exp from the original target. If the clockwork does more than half the damage you will not get exp. I pull the mob to the edge of the zone so other mobs dont aggro and mess up the plan. Used this to get to 14 in no time, then exp bad for my level so left. Should work in lavastorm or any zone with creatures that use area effect spells.
Happy hunting.

As I was making the undead around the minatar cave deader...I noticed under the geyser around the gear area four small red blobs. Always curious, I picked them up and lo and behold, I had four "Moss Covered Drake Scales." Does anyone if these are part of a quest or just newbie loot.

On another note...during the same period, I attacked a decaying skeleton for the fun of it and suddenly had sorta a real fight on my hands including experience. Being 14th level...I was surprised. Is this normal in Steamfront or some sort of glich?

Thanks

I understand this NPC drops more Ravenscale (doh! still having nightmares about Cazic...) Anyways, if anyone has a loc and strategy, it would be appreciated

who has any suggestions for a newbie necro? I am lvl. 2 so far and I SUK! Have a heart, give me strategy plz!

Hi all,

Been trying to find Jogl Doobraugh since monday... anyone have a clueas to what his spawn time is???

Cubwynn
Ordo Ursi Prismatus
Lanys T'vyl

Theres a clockwork spider by the entrance to aknon. The spider is lvl 30 and has rougly 850 HP.
The great thing is this spider only runs at a walk, and is even funny to watch at snare speeds.
Its very easy to nuke walk, nuke for any caster class. The trick is pulling him without agroing his handler. I will not reveal 100% but lets say you need to pull a very low lvl creature of a certain type across the front of him while its agroed on you. This will make the cargo clockwork agro on you without pulling its handler who tends to cast lvl 29 wizard spells. Sometimes if you get way too much space between yourself and the cargo, it will pop back by the handler who will make a bee line for you, If at some point you can't find the spider and its not dead then I suggest you zone or log asap. When the clockwork spider dies a little driver pops out and dosent do anything to you, dont kill him or you will take a gemchopper faction hit, you get no faction for killing cargo clockwork and you dont lose any either. The only problem with this is the spawn time for the cargo is about 5 minutes so if theres more than 1 person doing this then it could get kinda slow.

Hail -

My primary char is a gnome mage, and I love Steamfont so much I moved my other new (non-gnome)chars there to hunt as well:)

First off - fair warning - two of the NPC guards (our Watchmen) are almost constantly being camped by guard killers. One guard is at the cutoff path to the windmills, the other guard is at the windmills. Do NOT count on these NPCs to be around to help you if you get a bad pull:(

I've heard tales that you can hunt in Ak'Anon itself up until level 4, I did not do that myself and would advise caution to those that do try this. Some folks see all the skellies down by the necro guild and think they've hit a gold mine - but my understanding is that those skels are the pets of the NPC necro guildmasters, and you will be KOS soon if you keep killing their boney buddies:)

I chose to hunt out in the regular newbie areas in Steamfont. I prefer the one to your right as you leave the gates of Ak'Anon. From levs 1-4 you can fight the regular rats, skels, etc. that you've seen in other zones. Be VERY careful not to go over the small hill further to your right as you hunt in this area...or you will run into the Dragon Skeleton, which I'll explain more later.

This is also where you'll discover why I call my homeland Ratfont...this place is crawling with diseased rats in all the level ranges. I'd advise against fighting these if at all possible, they give good xp but their loot is not worth the disease you'll get when they bite you.

There is another newbie area to your left as you leave Ak'Anon, near the druid ring and a small camp of Kobolds. I didn't choose this area for newbie hunting, as it's very hilly and easy to get lost in. There's also the risk that higher level people will train the Kobold camp over you as they flee to Ak'Anon to save themselves.

From level 4 on (or earlier if you're brave or in a good group), you can start hunting the Kobold runts, spiderlings, and runaway clockworks that frequent the newbie areas. Kobolds are unique in that they often drop backpacks, waist pouches and boxes as loot:) so don't bother to buy a lot of luggage from vendors if you're hunting here.

The more adventurous folks might also begin hunting at the small Kobold camp I mentioned earlier. Great xp and nice loot all the way to around lvl 8 or so. However, this place is frequently camped, so if you have a large group you might want to try the larger kobold camp in the zone. That camp is seldom hunted, but the trade off is that the camp is far away from any zone line or guards that could help you. You get in trouble at the large camp, better hope you have time to Gate or run like the wind if you're a tank.

The large camp gave me good xp up until level 10, but other dangers there (besides the kobolds) are the higher level versions of the diseased/plague rats, plus the lesser ebon drakes, the pumas, and the skellies that roam through the tents constantly. There are also the rogue clockworks, the "big brothers" of the runaway clockworks. These metal spiders bite HARD, and I've had to flee them even at lvl 14 when more than one of them jumped me.

Another option besides the large Kobold camp is to hunt by the windmills. The tradeoff for hunting here is that it is more crowded with players than the large Kobold camp. You will also run into the same types of creatures at the windmills as you would at the camp. An added feature (hehe) is that you will occassionally be trained on at the windmills by people fleeing from the Mino Caves hunting area, which is nearby.

Yet another option once you hit level 10 to 12 is the Dragon Skeleton I mentioned earlier. Around and within the Dragon's bones are several hard-hitting skeletons. Occasionally,a mino slaver spawns there as well. I got xp on this spawn point all the way to level 14. It's great in that it's just a quick hop through the newbie area (be nice and announce your trains:) to the zone line and safety in Ak'Anon.

Once you hit lvl 12 (or earlier depending on how much risk you like), head for the Mino Caves area. Here you can find all of the mobs you've come to know and love in Steamfont (except for the pumas) in one happy place:)

You'll meet new critters here too, like the earth elementals and the harpies. This area will keep you busy all the way to level 15. The danger of this place is that inside the Cave itself is the home of Meldrath and the Minos. With the exception of the mino slavers, all the other minos con tombstone red to a level 15. The Mino Lord, Hero, and Meldrath himself are level 30+ easily, so be careful.

Fortunately, the Cave is almost constantly camped by high level players fighting the Minos. However, some of these "highbies" often bite off more than they can chew, and that's when the slaughter of newbie gnomes begins:(

I've stopped counting how many times Meldrath and his mino buddies have killed me in all the chars I've brought up in Steamfont. It's just a fact of life here. Any time you see a mino, CON HIM. Don't assume it's just a slaver. If it's not a slaver, RUN. Don't wait to see if the highbies can handle it - run to Ak'Anon and ask /ooc if the critter is dead before you return.

I'm not sure why this zone is rated up to level 20, I've never found much to hunt here past lvl 15. Perhaps there are higher mobs in the caves themselves, but that area is so heavily camped by highbies you can barely get your foot in there.

If any others know of mobs that could get you to level 20 in Steamfont, post it here! I'd love any excuse not to take my chars away from the gnomish kingdom any earlier than I have to:)

Happy hunting!!!

So while we trembled before the plague dragon's domain, Edril simply lifted his sword to his shoulder, looked back at me, and said "wait here." With a proud determination he marched toward the black cave entrance, a portal to the lower planes if ever there was one. He marched to his death, or so we thought. But when we saw him next in two days time he pulled behind him the head of the evil beast, which left thick trails of a green poison behind it.....The skull of the dragon sits still on the entrance to the gnome's own Fortress Mechanus.
