For an overview of Veil of Alaris pre-launch events, see this quest entry.



This is a pre-launch task leading up to the Veil of Alaris expansion, expected to be available only for a certain period of time ahead of VOA's launch.

It begins with a gnome named Chief Smelting Engineer Whistle in the Steamfont Mountains. She's found in the far southeastern part of the Steamfont Mountains (location -1415, -1475, 5 -- in the back area of the work site).

You say, 'Hail, Chief Smelting Engineer Whistle'

Chief Smelting Engineer Whistle says 'Hello there. I am Chief Smelter Whistle. Basically that means that, for this project at least, I am responsible for all metal work. That turns out to be a rather complicated task, for which I need a lot of [help].'

You say, 'Help?'

Chief Smelting Engineer Whistle says 'We have a lot of workers and engineers on the project, but there is a lot to do. There is a lot more metal in a dirigible than most folks know. And it has to be special metal in most cases. We need agents to find what we need. If you aren't here just to site see, then you might be interested in doing a few [tasks] for me.'

You say, 'What tasks?'

Chief Smelting Engineer Whistle says 'We have a lot that needs doing.'

A task window pops up with three tasks to choose from.

You have been assigned the task 'Blimp Frame - Bolts, Lots of Bolts'.

A project like this will need a very large number of bolts. You have been tasked to find some.



Collect 5 Clockwork Gnome Bolts 0/5 (ALL)

This is a fairly common drop throughout the Fortress Mechanotus and adjacent zones (Gyrospires; SHIP), as well as the gnomeworks in Corathus Creep.

Deliver 5 Clockwork Gnome Bolts to any smelting engineer 0/5 (Steamfont Mountains)

Upon hand-in:

The engineer thanked you for the bolts.

I didn't realize I had some of the Clockwork Gnome Bolts already in my inventory when I first got this quest, but immediately got some updates for the 4 bolts I had on me as soon as I accepted the quest.

I farmed all of these in the instance The Mechamatic Guardian: Adventures. Can drop from any steamwork model, from the larger steamsuits, and also from the helicopter-like mobs. Could be lucky variance but in my experience the drop rate seemed higher on the upper floors of the guardian, the areas where the mobs begin to drop Stabilizers instead of Modulators.
