Quests that start in the city Classic Era baseline
| Quest | Giver | What it asks |
|---|---|---|
| Save Techbot's Brain! (level 26) | Tinkmaster Overspark | Bring back Techbot's Memory Core from Gnomeregan |
| Essential Artificials (level 30) | Klockmort Spannerspan | Bring 12 Essential Artificials |
| Data Rescue (level 30) | Master Mechanic Castpipe | Bring a Prismatic Punch Card |
Quest text: Wowhead Classic tooltips (Classic Era data). Forever may differ. Gnomeregan quests picked up elsewhere often end here too. Tinkmaster Overspark (level 26) simply asks you to speak with him in Ironforge, and Speak with Shoni sends you the other way, to Shoni the Shilent in Stormwind. Gather every Gnomeregan quest from both cities before you queue, since the tram makes the round trip short.
Levelling tips for this city
- Train in Ironforge, then take the flight path to Loch Modan or Menethil Harbor rather than walking.
- Your first Legacy point usually comes when a character reaches level 25. After that, Frequent Flier makes flights cheaper and faster, and Well Rested raises the rested XP cap (Blizzard: Legacy System).
- Inns build rested XP. Log out in one between sessions Classic Era baseline.
