Gimble Tinkerton in Steamfont Mountains at the Windmills Location ( -1095, 144, 1101 ) Copy/waypoint -1095, 144, 1101 wants you to find a number of parts for him.
15 Undamaged jade and iron golem parts.
Found within City of Mist; the drop rate is about 35-40%.
Materials already in inventory didn't give any updates. As of 07/01/10, getting them from other players and buying them off of the broker now give you updates. (As of 07/03/10 roots already harvested on in your inventory *do* give updates.)(as of 9-8-10 the roots already in your inventory DO NOT update the quest) 09/12/10 - mantrap roots in my inventory did give an update. I didn't even realize I had them in my inventory until I got an immediate ding on these.
5 smoldering materials. As of 09/12/10 Smoldering materials are not consumed. I didn't get updates until I transferred some. Buying from the broker or having another character give you them works. Picking them out of the shared bank doesn't update, but likely having them in inventory will work. After the update I still had five smoldering materials in my inventory.
This is a Tier 8 uncommon item, harvested from ANY nodes.
Materials already in inventory, given from friend, or purchased from the broker didn't give any updates, only harvesting them did. Gather them yourself on this step. (As of 7/3/10 materials already harvested and in the bank *do* give updates.)
In the room with Blacksmith Sathgar also near the lab, clicky updates look like pots of smelted metal on ground. You may need to allow for a respawn, as there might not be the 5 needed. The respawn rate is about the same as the room
In the lab, you need to get into secret room behind the bookcase. Head into the library area under stairs and go to table furthest back on the left-hand side of the room. Click on the candle holder that sits on the table to open the bookcase to your right. In the area behind the bookcase, you'll find a number of casters (who stay annoyingly put when aggroed) and the flasks you need for updates. They spawn in the second room in this area - the one with a single alchemy table in it. The flasks sit on the ground and are almost transparent, so look closely. (Note: there are flasks on top of the table, and on various shelves throughout the Library as well. Easier to just clear the room, and get the named there as well:-)
The drop rate is about 20-25%, so you might have to kill 50-60 of them. Bring some friends with high dps. If you invis up to where the excretions spawn (at the top of the organic hillocks), you can pull them much easier.
