Steps[]
- Enter Echo Caverns ( 393, -36, 748 ) zone.
- Make your way to ( 139, 108, -11 ) and enter Echo Caverns: Recuso Digsite (Tradeskill).
- Look for the boarded-up door at the bottom of the quarry near where you zoned in.
- Contact Excavator Gibbons ( 481, 204, -112 ) . Your M.A.G.I.C. device will (technically) give you Recipe Scroll: Anti-Aggression Techniques Vol IV, but in practice it just scribes two "calming" recipes (ie Calming Eucalyptus Spray and Calming Epilogue of Sleep, Denmum's Calming Vulrich Drumstick, Wracked Calming Hourglass, etc) into your recipe book.
- Create one of the calming items to help with the wildlife's aggression.
- Use Varig's Forge ( 512, 202, -169 ) .
- The exact recipes you get will vary by tradeskill profession. Search your recipe book for "calm" or "calming".
- You may wish to make both items, so you can use one while the other is down.
- Use the newly created item(s) to calm the nearby aggressive creatures.
- Note: The creatures will not be completely non-aggro, as they'll just have their aggro range lowered for 30 seconds, so steer clear of those after calming them.
- Go east through the cave, and as you go, note that there is a branch to the right.
- Calm the wildlife to both parts of the tunnel.
- It's not necessary to calm everything. Look for places you have room to walk by without aggro.
- You might want to do the south-west branch first -- there's more hard-to-get-by aggro this way.
- With carefully chosen movement, it is possible to do this and only have to calm three NPC's (even as low as two, none on the left, two on the right), so don't over-think it. As soon as you reach the light at the end of each tunnel, all creatures in that tunnel turns into NPC.
- Step into the beam of light at each end of the tunnel ( 346, 190, -148 ) and ( 556, 221, -20 ) to get the updates.
- Report back to Excavator Gibbons (everything in the tunnel will now be non-aggro).
- Speak with Kessi McGillicuddy in the Luclin Nexus ( 353, -36, 717 ) .
- From City of Fordel Midst at ( 393, -36, 748 ) enter Echo Caverns: Expedition Composition (Tradeskill) by clicking the door and selecting the appropriate zone.
- Accessed via the Echo Caverns door in the Nexus.
- You need to be lvl 120 in your tradeskill for the zone to show up on the list.
- Note if you log out you will need to re-enter the zone.
- Speak with Pops McGillicuddy ( 23, 116, -211 ) .
- Follow Pops McGillicuddy up the nearby ramp and speak with him again at ( -35, 142, -258 ) . He takes a ridiculous amount of time to get there.
- After Pops McGillicuddy flies off, use the dirigible to follow him.
- The dirigible takes a moment to arrive. A very long moment.
- Speak to Pops McGillicuddy when you land to get Recipe Scroll: Tuning Device.
- Craft 2 Tuning Device not Tinkered Device Tuner (you will receive 8 total).

- 20 Humming Azurite
- 20 Luclizite Cluster
- 20 Lunar Mushroom
- 20 Radiant Algae
- Use the Tinkered Device Tuner on the broken sensors.
- The sensors look like yellow tinkered cylinders.
- Take the transportation to the next area ( 556, 218, -13 )
- Speak to Pops where he's hanging off the platform at ( 478, 178, 589 )
- Speak to Pops again after he gets up on the platform to receive Recipe Scroll: Tinkered Autoscope Mach XIII.
- Go to the Varig's Forge ( 456, 191, 636 ) and craft a Tinkered Autoscope Mach XIII
