What to do
Investigate the area surrounding the Fizzcrank Pumping Station. Then, return to Sage Earth and Sky at Taunka'le Village.
The quest giver's words
The gnomes have run into some trouble in the pools to the west. It serves them right as they have been fouling up the land with their so-called inventions.
I want you to go out to their pumping station and observe what has befallen them. Return to me after.
Completion
Troubling news indeed.
My people are leaving this place soon. We are going to break through the Scourge lines to get to our capital, Icemist, in the Dragonblight.
But, before we do that, we must deal with what the gnomes in their insanity have wrought.

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 0 players – 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 0 from 0) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 5 min 19 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

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 (Borean Tundra), 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.
