yep he aint no lvl 30. i watched some guy kill the cargo clockwork and this guy poped. he was red but i rooted and killed him with my lvl 7 wizard gnome.
This guy is lvl 6 to 8 max and is never over that.Dont kill him if you dont want bad gnome faction.Cargo has know faction so drop him till lvl 42 then he goes green.
he isint lvl 30 i was a lvl 11 warrior with a few druid buffs when i seen him right after cargo clockwork died and thought he might have something good on him so i fought him and won. Unfortunatly he had a rusty weapon on him lol
