Description
Gnome technology - two years ago its most common use was as a punch line. Times certainly have changed. Now they've got a new rig built that's better than all our shredder models combined. I need the blueprints, <name>!
Unfortunately, the plans are locked away in a safe near Mekgineer Thermaplugg. To make matters worse, the combination to the safe is only known by Mekgineer Thermaplugg.
Do whatever you have to do to get that combination, <name>. Then crack open that safe and bring back those blueprints!

Read from the World of Warcraft: Forever beta: the quest's own text, level, objectives and rewards come from the quest cache the beta client writes, the item names, icons and qualities from the client's tables, and the two ends of the quest from the quest's own wording where it names them, with the title under the name where the creature cache knows it, or from the beta log, with the spot on the map, where the game has shown the hand-over. 145 quests have a page here so far.
