Gearing the Competition

Prerequisites: If you are not already a tinkerer, Navier will have you talk to Viex Cogsworth standing behind him to get the basics. The combies are level 50 tinkering.

Steps[]

Go to Moors of Ykesha via the spire and pick up the box ( 1751, 448, 724 ) Copy/waypoint 1751, 448, 724 beside the spire.
Unpack the box in your inventory and scribe the recipe.
Go into the portal next to the spire to the Innovation: Tinkerer's Trial.
Harvest the supplies which are scattered around the entire zone. The energy sources are hard to see and do not spawn unless you're on top of them. Go through all the doors to the other junkyard rooms, as well. You can also leave the zone and come back in to respawn. Refer to the Discussion page for suggestions/hints on the location of supplies.
- Energy Source
  
  18ea. Clockwork Energy Sources
- Power Regulator
  
  6ea. Power Regulators
- Rotational Gear
  
  12ea. Rotational Gears
- High-Tension Springs
  
  12ea. High-Tension Springs
- Note: these are NOT trackable. All components can be found in one instance. (do not forget conveyor belt room)
Tinkered Workstation

Scribe the Tinkerer's Competition Blueprints and craft 24 Electromagnetic Sparklets using the Tinkered Workstation near the door or further in the zone.
- Note: Mass Production purposefully will NOT work. Put on your Tradeskill Gear to assist in these 12 combines.
- QUEST IS BROKE [jun2022]. for if one misses/losses components, one MUST delete quest and re-take. However, the zone, nor harvestables are NOT respawned; Also, zone is NOT RESET-ABLE under Dungeon Finder/Persistent Instances tab. So you have ONE opportunity to get right. (18/06/2024 this is fairly inaccurate and exagerated as there are components of all types in excess in the zone, and as long as you dont insist on messing it up on purpose, the quest works perfectly fine).
Place the sparklets in five locations. A wisp appears to lead you. These are in a specific order, so follow the wisp.
Craft five Clockwork Energizers at the Tinkered Workstation.
Install the energizers. A wisp appears to lead you. These are in a specific order, so follow the wisp.
Return to Navier Stokes.
