Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle

Bring Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle's Mechanical Arm to Ziz Fizziks in the Stonetalon Mountains.
Gerenzo's Mechanical Arm

Description

I met Gerenzo once, but let me tell you, he's not easy on the eyes. His flesh looks like it's rotting away, and he's grafted metal and gears onto his body, replaced some of his limbs with mechanical ones.

Northeast of here, far above Cragpool Lake, up near the water wheel is where Gerenzo watches over the entire site. There's no way I could fight my way up there, not to mention take on Gerenzo... But you look like you might be able to make it.

If you kill him for me, I'll make it worth your while!

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Engineer's Cloak
Draftsman Boots
Also, you get: 22

Progress

Sputtervalve will want some sort of proof that Gerenzo's dead. I think his mechanical arm will probably do.

Completion

Look at that thing... it'd take a gnome to come up with something like that. I can't understand why you'd cut off an arm, and replace it with that, when you could just keep both arms and add a third!

Gnomes, I tell you...

At least Gerenzo's out of commission. Hopefully that'll be enough proof, and Sputtervalve will assign me to one of the Tinkers' Union workshops in Gadgetzan or maybe even Undermine.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 220 experience (13 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Ratchet

In order to get up to the top of the waterwheel you need to go over to the far east side of the lake. You'll find a path there that leads up into the cliffs and to the top of the wheel.

Don't kid yourselves; this is a killer for druids. The platform counts as ""inside"" so you can't use Root, and there's no hope of sneaking anywhere on narrow planks where you fall more often than not.

Gerenzo is accompanied by a Machinesmith, which means any attacks on him instantly result in THREE times the opposition. Three enemies at once = instant death. Bring a friend and you MAY have a prayer; otherwise, save it till level 30 or so.

done it as lvl 27 SPriest
followed all the info here, killed all the mobs on the way, but when i arrived at Gerenzo he is guarded by one engineer that summons a mechanical mob, and i found myself at half HP and tried to run downways, just under the big wheel, and then jumped. the funny part is that i died on some rock there, and when came as a ghost i could not revive from up (where Gerenzo stands) nor from the water, so i had to jump and revive myself from air! very funny part :D

the best way to take out Gerenzo as caster is to hit him directly very hard, disregarding the ads, then take the hand and run away. done that and escaped with like 70% of HP

Soloed as a lvl 23 rogue with engineering

all you need to do is stealth up to where he is useing distract and sap whenever possible when do get to where you can pull him with your ranged weapon clear the mob/mobs around you then place a Goblin land mine and pull him the mine will take over half his health off.

...i felt like James bond on this quest because i killed him so fast and then i was attacked so i vanished and jumpped off the side and use my parachute cloak to glide safely down

Was killed twice with my shadow priest by him, since he was at the water wheel together with 2 other peeps who all helped eachother, but the third time I was making my way down to the water wheel and met him (together with another peep) on a platform. Easy kill there.

Just before you get to the platform level where he is, there's a mob , take him out. Now for the interesting part, maybe this happened only to me, but I noticed people talking about 2 mobs that accompanied Gerenzo and the smith summoned the mechanical. In fact, in the platform Gerenzo is, there is only ONE mob (the summoner), a vendor, and Gerenzo himself. The third mob is one that respawns VERY quickly right where the first mob (just before the Gerenzo platform is). so after you kill that first one, you might wanna wait for that other one to spawn for about 20 seconds.. I soloed this as 24 lock no problem, only special care I had to take was to keep Gerenzo under control (feared) while taking damage from DoTs.. maybe this will get rated down because it is confusing, I just wanted to help anyways. Good luck with the quest ;)

Edit: This only applies if you are to find him on the very last platform, as he has different spawn spots.

I managed to solo this as an untwinked 22 rogue. What i did was walk down the patforms killing the mob on each one. I went into stealth, sapped the mob that stands next to him, pulled Gerenzo with my throwing knife, used gouge, then backstab then spam clicked on Sinster strike untill i had 5 combo points, then i spammed clicked eviscerate, gouged him again, backstabbed him, he began to run away and i finished him of with some good old right click spam. A lot of spam and i died when i jumped of the side. Reason, it was the wrong side i jumped off >.< Good Luck!

Jst did it as a lvl 25 druid. Really easy! Just stealth in cat to the last platform. Take the one add just before the platform, attack and kill him, the add and the machine. They went down fast, I had about 100 life left. Loot, jump down and swim back :)

Killed by Shadow Priest lvl 24.
There is one mob near Gerenzo, they will attack you together + the mob casts mechanical machine, so there are three enemies.
Then jump in to the water and complete the quest.

Just soloed as a 22 Druid. Died once, took out the add before death. Then when i got back to him, I threw on both HoTs, switched to cat, got him to 5 combo points, and then hit Rip. Healed myself, put up the HoTs again, switched back to cat and finished him off.

As a level 25 Ele Shaman, I got it on my first try with two Venture Co. Machine Smiths, Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle, and the two mechanicals that the Machin Smiths summon. Really easy, and only required a Stoneclaw Totem, Searing Totem, Fire Nova when it's up, a few Lightning Bolts, and 2 casts of Lesser Healing Wave.
