What to do
Report to Rocket-Chief Fuselage at Area 52 in the Netherstorm immediately!
The quest giver's words
I'm certain that the rocket-chief is going to want to have a word or two with you!
If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to get back to Area 52 and speak with him!
Completion
<name>! Or, should I say Junior Technician 1st Grade <name>?! Oh hell, who am I kidding? Skipping a grade isn't a good enough reward for what you've done. I'm going to make you my first officer!
You've saved all of us, and more importantly the X-52 Nether-Rocket! I could just kiss you... but I won't.
Instead, please let me present you with the gratitude of Area 52. Take your pick!

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 18,450 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 26 min 22 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 20,295 XP, done around level 70.
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.

Objectives, in the order players do them
No objective progress has been uploaded for this quest yet. Once somebody plays it with the addon on, the objectives and their hotspots appear here automatically.
Tips
No tips yet – they need a handful of runs before they say anything true.
