Chief Engineer Scooty

Speak with Scooty in Booty Bay.

Description

As soon as we got word from Kernobee about the new gnomish rig, Scooty and I began work on the Transpolyporter 6000: The fastest and most reliable way to Gnomeregan.

It's finally ready for passengers to board, <name>. If you want to give it a try, go to Booty Bay and talk with Scooty at the wind rider roost. To get to Booty Bay, take the boat from Ratchet.

Of course, you could always try and make the run to Gnomeregan through the dwarf infested mountains of Dun Morogh!

Completion

She's a beauty, isn't she? Pinnacle of goblin transport technology -- only exploded a dozen or so times.

Don't worry, <name>, I've got her all fixed up. She won't blow up on you - and if she does, it'll be quick and painless.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 28 experience (1 68 at max. level)

This quest chain allows Horde characters to easily access Gnomeregan.

You can only get this quest if you accept Rig Wars from Nogg who stand a little to the left of Sovik (when facing Sovik)

This quest IS currently bugged, but it has nothing to do with being high level or blood elf.

Completing certain (unrelated) high level quests will cause this quest to be marked as completed as well. That's why you can't get it from the NPC anymore and the GM sorcen talked to told him he had already completed it when he hadn't. If someone in your party tries to share it with you, they will also see the ""[name] has already completed this quest"" message.

Unfortunately, despite that, scooty does not allow you to restore the teleporter unless you really did complete the quest... which means that currently, if you are in this situation, you will have no other choice than to walk to gnomeregan the long way.

Confirming a bug with this quest, accepted Rig Wars, got the whisper, but no quest offered from Sovik, lvl70 Mage here. It did however work fine for my alt, lvl27.

This is ancient history, but for the first several patches of the game, the goblins who gave this quest and Rig Wars were Steamwheedle factioned. If you were Alliance, and could sneak or fight your way to the Valley of Honor, you could get their quests. I never bothered to complete Rig Wars, but this one I did so I could move on to https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2843"">(Quest #2843) and pick up the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9173"">(Item #9173). My long-retired rogue, whom I now use mainly for herb storage and taking screenshots of projectile weapons, still has it.

Just an FYI...I found this on thott

http://thottbot.com/v3404098 http://thottbot.com/v3404098
Confirmed above post. If you are level 70 and already completed ""STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout Spyglass,"" but now want to go back to Gnomeregan AND NEVER COMPLETED RIG WARS, you will be unable to obtain the Chief Engineer Scooty quest.

Petition a GM for a character issue. They will escalate your ticket to a character specialist, who will fix this issue and give you the Gnomeregan transporter item. From petition to resolution took me about 20 minutes.

WARNING: I just had a GM confirm that this quest (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728 ) is the one that BUGS the Gnomeregan teleporter quest line!!!!

If you complete STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass before you complete Chief Engineer Scooty (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2842 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2842 ), you can NOT pick up that quest anymore, and you will NOT be able to get your Goblin Transponder (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9173 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9173 ) to teleport to Gnomeregan.

Reminder: Chief Engineer Scooty is obtainable after you talk to Nogg next to Sovik and accept Rig Wars (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2841 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2841 ).

The GM escalated my ticket to a Character Specialist, said it will take 3-5 days for him to respond. Currently waiting for the response.

Here's the e-mail I got from the ""specialist"" (lolz) with my in-game petition (I had to wait couple of days for specialist's response tho):<div class=""quote"">Greetings!

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

Petition: ""Dear GM,

I'm currently trying to get ""Chief Engineer Scooty"" quest from Sovik in Orgrimmar, however after some research online, it seems this quest becomes unavailable due to some bug (after completing some higher level quests).

I'm sure I didn't complete this quest and I tried disbanding and accepting ""Rig Wars"" quest again (which is a quest I need to pick up to get ""Chief Engineer Scooty"".

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

Thank you.""

Answer: I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I've resolved the issue and left you in front of Sovik so you can accept the quest when you log back in ^_^

Should you require further assistance, please submit another help request the next time you are online. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!I logged to the game, found my warrior next to Sovik ready to accept to the quest. Man, I had so much issues with GMs on EU servers and so far on US they have been much more helpful. :)

So if someone gets into similar trouble, try that.

You can pick up this quest without Rig Wars. That's what I did.

Despite starting in Org, this does not count for the loremaster of Kalimdor, for anyone trying to gather up the last few.

I have had contact with a Gm regarding this issue. I cant get the quest from Sovik and i cant get a new one from Scooty. Answer i got was that I hadnt done the quest at all and therefor they couldnt get me a new one. I asked why i cant get the quest then since i hadnt done it. Answer to that was that i hadnt done the prequest for it. Question now is: What is the prequest for this quest?

Apparently if you completed the quest Stolen: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout Spyglass you will be unable to to get the quest from Scovin or Scooty. I confirmed this with a GM last night after completing several chains attempting to unlock the quest on my level 80 hunter.

So why hasn't Blizzard fixed this known issue in a year and a half? Probably because they're too busy dreaming up new content to fix what they already made.

No real purpose except to get to Gnomeregan and Dun Morogh (for city raids/exploration). Gnomeregan is not close enough to a Horde flight point for the teleport to be considered a quick way to northern Eastern Kingdoms.

But it's still handy. I didn't know about this quest and found myself travelling from Kargath all the way to Gnomeregan on a mount as an 80 trying to get the achievement.

dont even bother with the quest if you're hated with Steamwheedle Cartel (aka Booty Bay, Everlook, Gadgetzan &amp; Ratchet). Scooty will be hostile. -_-

Counts for Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms, even though none of the other Gnomeregan quests seem to count.

I sent in a ticket about this issue and they sent me the Goblin Transponder, circumventing the need for this quest line. While it was a solution to the issue I wish they'd just go ahead and fix this. Oh well, at least I can say that they helped me out.

I was atttempting to get the Gnomer achievement at 80, so I went to try to get the Transporter quest. I got rig Wars and got the whisper from Sivok but no quest. I had not done https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7728, I flew out and personally checked and that quest was still available. So there must be other bugs or other quests that cause a conflict.
