Anniversary events tend to run from mid-March to mid-April (sometimes to mid-May) each year. They are not available during the "off season".

For an overview and list of EverQuest Anniversary events, see this quest entry.



This is one of two anniversary tasks related to killing the Mechamatic Guardian. For an outline of the Mechamatic Guardian encounter and its mechanics, see this quest entry.

This is a solo task (for which you'll need many, many friends to complete) that made its debut with EverQuest's 12th anniversary. It is expected to only remain available during the anniversary/fabled period.

It's given by Gearbie Gogglenoggin at location 1825, 2290, 122 in the Dragonscale Hills (northwest of the Citadel).

You say, 'Hail, Gearbie Gogglenoggin'

Gearbie Gogglenoggin says 'Well hello there! Isn't this a fine time to be alive! I stand here looking over this pleasant field to look at the greatest achievement of all Gnomekind. Look at it. It is beautiful! And with all the, um, work I've had done on it, some of its [lost functionality] has been restored. What a wonderful day!'

You say, 'Lost functionality?'

Gearbie Gogglenoggin says 'The Mechamatic Guardian is a machine of war, a tool of destruction! But when it fell from the fortress above it lost its direction. It has been wandering around these hills with no focus. Now I have taught it how to kill again? Sure, it's not fully functional. It can't strike with its arms, but it has most of its offensive magical abilities back! It has also lost its mystical shielding. So go [attack it]!'

You say, 'Attack it?'

Gearbie Gogglenoggin says 'Sure! Isn't that what you adventurers do? Besides, when you do the mechanics and troopers and such will come out here where you can get at them. Then you can attack them too! Won't it be fun! Then you can gather up some [things] I need and we'll all be happy!'

You say, 'What things?'

Gearbie Gogglenoggin says 'Oh, you know, things. I'll tell you what they are if you agree to [get them] for me. Will you? I have interesting plans for those things, after all.'

You say, 'I will get them.'

Gearbie Gogglenoggin says 'Well that's just great! Here's the list. I have a few things I need, just a few. Only two lists, not that big of a deal.'
You have been assigned the task 'Parts Is Parts'.
You have been assigned the task 'Maximum Capacity'.



Recover the unusual parts of the Mechamatic Guardian 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)

This step is updated by killing the Mechamatic Guardian in the Dragonscale Hills. Any of the five health thresholds will update it (80, 60, 40, 20, 10).

All items in this task are pre-lootable.

Deliver 1 Dented Whirligig to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Counterlocking Nut to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Super-Dense Coal to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Steam Coalescer to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Steam-Infuzed Goo to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Acidized Oil to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Advanced Steam Injector to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)
Deliver 1 Flame Igniter to Gearbie Gogglenoggin 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills)

Items to be delivered come from the adds' corpses.

- a steamwork mender primarily drops Dented Whirligig
- a steamwork reclaimer primarily drops Counterlocking Nut
- a steamwork trooper primarily drops Super-Dense Coal
- a steamwork striker primarily drops Steam Coalescer
- a steam cleaner primarily drops Steam-Infuzed Goo
- an acidic ooze primarily drops Acidized Oil
- an enhanced steamsuit primarily drops Advanced Steam Injector
- a flamesuit primarily drops Flame Igniter

Upon turn-ins:

Your task 'Parts Is Parts' has been updated.

Nicely done! I'll use these on my next project. That one should be even more fun than this one was!

Currently doing this on Ragefire as "in-era content". Takes a while for the participating people get get his HP down, and it's noted that the HP thresholds we're receiving updates at are actually one percent higher (81%, 61%, etc.) and it takes a bit longer to do enough to get it to the [x]0% mark.

You can also get both augments and the drops are prelootable. Plus, the second time you get the mission the health update automatically updates. Did it with an alt, had the task, looted 5 of the 8 items twice, got the three remaining drops, and did the turn in. Then got the mission again and turned in those 5 items and got the updates.

The information below quoted is incorrect as of this posting.

Quote:
NOTE: Unlike the "Maximum Capacity" task, you have to get the "Recover" updates in order. (You can't get the 20% and 10% updates first, and then go back for the others at a later time. You have to get the 80 first, 60 second, etc.).


You only need 1 update apparently and the order does not matter (for parts is parts).

I updated 20% and got my aug. This was my only update.

When I got the quest again the update portion (recover unusual parts)was already updated.

Needless to say, I was very happy about this having had terrible luck and missing many many updates even though I spent a lot of time in the zone helping out.
