Wyou have the Threshwakonator following you, and you get close to the captain, the robot will spontaneously turn aggressive and attack you. He is level 20 Elite, and hits pretty hard, so be ready. If you need to escape or heal, run into the water, he won't follow very far. Of course, if you do that, he'll go into evade/fast heal mode, so you can't just attack him from a distance without being hit.

Kommentar von entropicdragon

On the other hand, he will follow you quite a ways if you don't head towards the captain. I got him all the way to Auberdine before he got bored and despawned (I don't know whether it's a timer or a distance-from-start meter that controls this.)

Kommentar von Icemelt

- Solo No-Death

Goes Aggressive: 56.5, 14.5 (yard or two before the log on the right)

Note for Rogues: Be in stealth before you reach the aggressive zone.

Solo'd as a 21 firemage. I had him evade and had to start the fight over, so I opened with pyroblast and just used blink/frost nova to keep him away from me. Should be even easier as a frost mage, just kite him around.

Kommentar von Kaynos

I was kind of surprise to see it attack me, he cought me off guard but i managed to kill him, 21 druid in bear form.

solo lv 20 warlock.

pull him to the water to stall him. cant hit him at this moment, he will just evade. walk around him and exit the water at a safe point. start with a shadowbolt, then agony, corruption and immolate him. then command your voidwalker to attack him. retreat as your vw gains aggro. start using your wand on the robot. before the vw dies or if it is unable to hold aggro and the robot comes after you, refresh the dots on him and sacrifice the vw and summon another while the shield absorbs dmg from the robot. you should have 100hp left when you are done summoning. one hit away from death, so use a healthstone. start kiting the robot at this moment. you should now have 90hp and the robot has less. your vw will successfully hold aggro on it and there you have it. soloed a powerful elite.

You are left with Gyromast's Key after completing this quest. As far as I can tell, there's no reason to hang on to it. The Threshwackonator won't accept it again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

To complete this quest you MUST kill the Threshwackonator 4100.

Yes it is a pain in the rear, but that is what you have to do to kill it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you have trouble talking to the captian, check to see if the robot thingy is spawned. My partner and I found out that while the robot is spawned the captian will not talk to you AT ALL. It's a reall pain but that's the only way to talk to him.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The quest SORT of tells you this, if you know how to read them. The way it presents the first mate in your quest list implies that you have to kill it.

Of course, I didn't notice this, and let him kill me as I valiantly tried to figure out HOW to use the key.

It makes sense, sort of, if you're close by when he triggers.

I think the quest IS bugged. I think he's supposed to be green when you see him, you use the key, and then when you get within range of the captain, he triggers to red, the Captain says his text about 'you've gotten him angry', and you have to kill him.

Oh, and I haven't seen any loot off him either. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I too had to kill him to complete the latter quest. ...was quite a feat for a lone lvl 22 rogue ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Even if you perform this quest correctly, you will have the key in your inventory. Just trash it since it useless post quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just Run South of the Captain along the beach. You can't miss the Elite Robot he's very tall&large.; Only reason he may be missing is you are waiting for respawn.
Note on water> Robot won't chase you into the water, you can heal but you can't attack and he will heal.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The reason the key stays in your inventory after you kill the robot is simple: if you were sharing the quest, one of you used the key to start the robot so the other person never used the key - that person has it in their inventory!

Just throw it away after killing the robo and completing the quest!

Kommentar von Thottbot

He's an elite bare that in mind.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok... gettin the key parts was really easy. all you do is, find some Raging Reef Crabs and kill them and they'll drop one of the parts for you. then go a lil wayz to land and kill some Giant Forestriders and they'll drop one of the key parts. then go towards the cliffspring river, and west of where the cliffspring empties into the ocean, there'll be a sea turtle carcass inhabited by some Greymist Murlocs. the carcass will have a lil hut built on top of it. go kill some of the murlocs there and they'll drop the last key part for you. good luck :).

Kommentar von Thottbot

was looking for fine crabe meat (other quest) wayyyyy tooo far north and a guy said...oi, help me.

i'm a lvl 21 druid and he was a lvl 21 warriior.

for sure i said.

jumped in water for first quest (keys) killed the first murloc i found near the boat (behind the captain) got the key.

Found a lvl 21 crab, killed it, got a key (getting too easy)

saw a giant bird...for a NE, this bird is a giant. Killed it, got a key.

3 kills, 3 keys.

then a random lvl 25 pally came by, partied up. Warrior activates robot (my key being useless now) walked the robot over, as soon as it got close i healed while pally did work on the robot.

quest done.

silver only good thing.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Gelkak Gyromast's First Mate, the Threshwackonator 4100, is passive until he is within about 10 feet of the Captain. He then turns 'mean' and must be killed in order to complete the quest. The Captain even yells out something about "All Hands for Themselves" (or something like that) at this point.

As for getting the key parts for the first part of this quest chain, the Raging Reef Crawlers running around the Captain have one key part, the Murlocs just off-shore from the Captain at the ship wreck have another part of the key and the Giant Forreststriders just inland from the Captain have the third part of the key.

Kommentar von Thottbot

150 IF rep (at lvl 22)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think it would be nice if Blizzard labelled their items they created better when referring to quest items .... list the quest name at the bottom of the item so we know whether or not we can drop the item

Kommentar von Thottbot

I kill the robot on my own.......I am level 23 druid.....just use entangled roots and moonfire........keep repeating it and keep your distance.......and you should be able to defeat him even though he is an elite robot......

Kommentar von Thottbot

Once he becomes hostile, run away until he breaks off. Then get back close to him, drop a freezing trap, wait 30 seconds (mark him), arcane shot, concussive shot, shoot, shoot, arcane shot.. your trap will get him, now run max range, drop trap (your cooldown will be ready), arcane shot, concussive shot, freeze trap, back up, sick your pet on him, arcane shot... if you gets to you, make sure you have Monkey up (dodge!). Pretty easy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I took the robot all the way to Auberdine, it disappeared when I was in the town for like a minute.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Rogues, if you want to get a backstab in simply use your stealth before you get to the captain. He will go hostile but not see you. You can then sneak around him and backstab then Evasion to make this fight much easier.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well what do you expect with Gnomish Engineering? Of course Robots are gonna go on a rampage here and there. Musta been all the salt water! hehe

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did as a 23 level hunter was easy. Just kept mending pet (bear) until whacko was down to almost nothing and used a mana potion and continued mending and whacko was dead in about a minute from the bear attacking.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not a lot of exp for an elite mob :-( 460 exp.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I finished the first part, got the key. Now I cant find the first mate. Anyone else have this problem?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did is the second time with a lvl 26 Preistess, i.e. a squishy.

you can run into the water and regroup to fight him, don't die, it is a long walk back.

He will recharge health when you go in the water and spells will not work against him while you are in the water.

You don't get much in the way of points for this job. I thought there would be aleast something in the mob. Nothing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lvl 21 NE Warrior solo'd but took two tries. The trick was drinking a healing potion and knocking his armor down.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i just did this as a lvl 19 druid....
i cant say it was easy cuze it wasnt.....
the thing is....you cant melee him...so use entangeling roots to keep him far away from you....and then cast moonfire....
repeat untill he dies....
it took me 4 min to kill him....i was left with no mana at the end.....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It appears you have to kill the First Mate by the way. And he didn't drop anything in either time we did it. Granted it's still beta, but..... it would have been nice if he did.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I saw this robot in a passive mode once. I used the key on it and it followed me. You have to bring it back to the pirate. The thing is the robot will turn aggressive after a couple of sec (around 20). I didnt finish the quest but im still on it waiting to see if it will go passive again

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Level 18+ druid can solo this, albeit really slow, but safely. Just use Entangling Roots on it, move back (a bit out of root cast range) and wait for it to run towards you. Spam root on it before it reaches you. Throw a Moonfire and Faeriefire on it too. Rinse and repeat (while backing up all the way to where the gnome is).

If it resists, throw up Nature's Grasp, Rejuv, and try to hit it with a another E.Root spell. When it's almost dead, shift into Bear for added defense and then melee it to death.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There really doesn't seem to be a point to the key.
I still have it on my 60 in the bank, completely forgot I did, and I have never had any reason to use it after this quest ended.
Might as well delete it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

when i did this quest it felt like the 4100 attacking me was just a bug in the game. i even asked on the general channel and they said it was a bug and i had to kill 'em. the threshwackonator didn't even say anything when it started attacking. i was just trying to (futily) click on the gnome npc to complete the quest and then i was all.. "wtf is hitting me?"

and now on this board it seems like this is not a bug but it's supposed to be like that (?)

i'm going to report this as a bug anyway because even if it isn't a bug, then that means it's just bad game design.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried this as a lvl 23 druid and for me it wasn't as easy. I used entangling root, faerie fire, moon fire, star fire, etc...tried going in the water to get away from the wackonator, etc etc and still got nailed by it 3 times. I give up doing this as a solo.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was able to finish this quest today, The first mate spawned passive an I lead him back to the captain. athough it did get quite ugly when he was back at the captain when he attacked and killed my pet. Ohhwell the quest in complete and with the water breathing potion I can farm some.
Odd thing is I still have the key?
Ruffcut

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can solo this as a hunter using the following strategy:

1. Approach the mob and get within firing range.

2. Place an immolation trap right in front of you.

3. Remember to have 'Aspect of the Hawk' on you.

4. Mark the mob with hunter's mark.

5. Order your pet in to attack, but JUST before your pet get's the mob attention, fire a concussive shot. This will pseudo-confuse the mob for a second, as it will start heading towards you, but then your pet will use growl to get its attention. With any luck (and if you have upgraded your skills), it might even stun it for a few seconds.

6. After your concussive shot, fire a serpent Sting and then just continue on auto-shot.

7. When your pet is about to die (because it will die), fire another Serpent Sting.

8. When the mob appraches you, hit him with a Raptor Strike. At this point, the mob will trigger the trap and get hurt for some serious damage. The key to the fight really is the proper use of the trap, it gives you the edge.

9. Simply finish him up with consecutive Raptor Strikes.

Hope this helps...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you catch the Threshwackonator 4100 in passive state, he will follow you around for quite a while. Thought it might be fun to have him as a pet, so I tried taking him with me to Auberdine. He followed almost all the way, but just before Auberdine, he vamoosed. Oh, well. He would have been great to show off in Auberdine.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It can't Swim....when you get close to the Rock where you got the quest Go out into the water... come ashore on other side of rock robot will come towards you and then go Crazy...this will give you distance to do battle... well did for me Lvl 20 Priest,,,lol ..dead rusty pile.. ; )

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dunno if this still a bug (or just a very cludgy fix to the bug mentioned below) but here's my experience as of today.

The Threshwackowhosit now spawns agro, and is never passive. I watched for a few spawns, and watched it respawn after someone else killed it. The key itself seems useless, since the machine is never in a passive state.

I killed the machine at it's spawn point, and Gelkak completed the quest with no problem.

AFTER~ I completed the quest, Gyromast said: "YARRR! Swabie, what have ye done? He's gone mad! Baton down the hatches! Hoist the mast! ARRRR! Every man for hi'self!"

Then I tossed the useless key, hehe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I finished the quest and still have the key. Does anyone know if there is a use for it? My inventory is full. Thanks

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The first mate will not follow you into the water. If you're starting to be afraid of death, run in. (He will get his ankles in, but too far and he'll leave you alone.)

This does not mean you can kite him or attack him from the water. Once he cannot attack you, he goes into Evade and fast heal mode. The water is only a way to escape death.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does it really matter which way u complete the quest? Do u get different rewards or more xp for returning him safely to Gyromast or is it the same if u would just kill him?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is this questbugged or something? i get the machine back to the gnome, and it goes nuts, but the gnome doesn't say anything. after i kill it, the body is laying there right by the gnome, and he still has a white ? and asks where his first mate is......

edit: ok, it's good now

Edited, Tue Jan 31 07:44:07 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as a druid at level 19 without taking any damage. Just keep him rooted with the moonfire dot on and stay just inside your spell reach distance.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's seem to be a little bugged at the moment.
It's passive once at the spawn, then turn aggressive.
You can use the key when is passive. While it follows you it turns aggressive again. I finished the quest killing it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After turning the key, he starts to passively follow you north. About halfway there he becomes aggressive and attacks you, you have to kill him.

Duo'd this successfully as an 18 druid with a 16 hunter. Druid kept him rooted and dotted while the hunter provided ranged dps.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The first mate (a robot) will be found about 30 seconds run South from Gelkak. Lvl 20 Elite. He killed me (lvl 21 Night Elf Hunter - a noob, I admit) twice when soloing, but with another lvl 21 we had no problems.

He now stays passive until meeting up with Gelkak Gyromast, at which point Gelkak states "...every man for himself..." and he must be killed.

Only one of us was able to activate him (we both had keys), and we both got awarded the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have to say if you don't have a way to root and do ranged damage, you better bring a couple of friends. My 18 warrior didn't stand a chance, hitting me for 80 at a pop, he's about a 30 elite i'd say.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I want to thank all the Druids in here who put there strategy up. I'm a lvl 20 druid, and the robot just kept on killing me...
But then I started to cast e. root on him and following by a moonfire (to save mana). After a couple of minutes i went down!

And, I couldn't loot him, and the key was gone from my inventory, but I could still complete the quest! :D

Kommentar von 1750589

I soloed this just now as a lvl 18 warlock, despite what i thought, you can fear him (most machines are immune from what i've seen). Keep your dots up, bring a healing pot n spam fear anytime it comes running back. Your voidwalker's sacrifice spell is very handy if things go south or fear gets resisted. Brought it down after abt 3 full rounds of all my dots.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

I don't mean to be a killjoy but if you are under level 20 or a really-skilled class that can handle a 20 Elite, don't bother with this part of the quest chain. It's frustrating and the reward, such as it is, is miserly at best. While I realize that from the point of view of BofA, everything is miserly, this is inconsistent even in Classic, as it was the first time around.

For those of you looking to challenge your character's abilities and your skills, have at it and best of luck. For those of us who are thrilled with this wonderful walk down memory lane called Classic, skip this muddy pothole filled with worms and whatever the dog left behind.

Kommentar von Meddle

Solo'd with level 18 druid. Entangling roots lv1. 8 minute fight. Not the best choice I've made in my life.

Kommentar von Bogdanov89

This elite suddenly turned hostile near the captain NPC and critted my mage for 80% of his health on the first attack.
Just don't bother with the quest until you are 25+

Kommentar von Gekkouka

Don't bother soloing this quest under lv20. Killed my druid in 3 seconds.

Just wait till I get my cat form you pile of metal trash.

Kommentar von Luxius

Was able to solo him with lvl 22 priest.
Mindblast + SW:P + Psychic Scream, dropped him at 60% health.
Then was able to kite him till the CD for psychic Scream was ready again & so on.
PW:S was able to tank 1 hit from him, so be careful.

Kommentar von Janaq

Bloody hell I have carried this thing to half way thru lvl 59. Well I'm taking it to 60 now!

Kommentar von Vulkanian

Solo'd as a lvl18 Mage. Kited him with rank 1 Frostbolt with some Frost Novas and wanding mixed in. Having the Frostbite talent is also very helpful in rooting him a couple extra times for free.

Kommentar von madmurdock

My tactic for frost mage:

- mana shield at beginning and then nova
- get distance and then frost bolt as long as you have distance, when near cast fire blast and teleport
- frost bolt again until near, fire blast, nova should be up again
- get distance and cast evoc to get full mana
- frost bolt, fire blast, teleport. repeat
- depending on your gear, level and crit luck he should be down by now.
