The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
As the X-52's chief of engineering, I have to see to it that the nether-rocket's main engines are in tip-top shape.
Unfortunately, I haven't built them yet.
<class>, I'm in dire straits here! I have almost all of the parts. All that I'm missing is the engine core.
Luckily for us, I think we can make use of the essence from the local mana wraiths to jump-start the engines.
They can be found near most of the glowing trenches in the northern part of the island. Except for here in Area 52, of course.
Progress
You have all of those essences yet?
Completion
Wow, that's a lot of essence!
Ok, let's see what happens when I mix it with the etherlithium matrix crystals.

By character level
Level Experience Share 67–73 12,000 100% 74 9,600 80% 75 7,200 60% 76 4,800 40% 77 2,400 20% 78–89 1,200 10% 90 none 72s more money The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 12,000 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 1 run by 1 player – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 22 min 45 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
23 tracked kills, typically 13,200 XP, done around level 69.
The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Netherstorm), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
- hotspot centroid (numbered by weight)
- where players were
- pick up
- turn in
- where players die – not published yet
Where they happened is shown once at least 5 characters from at least two different people have done this quest (now 1 from 1): unlike the route, a death spot is about the player, not the quest.
- Pick up
- 0.320, 0.670 median of 1 recorded accept on Netherstorm
- Turn in
- 0.320, 0.670 median of 1 recorded turn-in on Netherstorm
- Deaths during this quest
- 1 death, in 1 run Only deaths between accepting and finishing this quest count. Where they happened is not published yet – see the map above.
