Samophlange

Access the control console at the Venture Company research site.
Provided Item:
Control Console Operating Manual

Description

The Venture Company set up a small research facility far to the north of here, southwest of the Sludge Fen. I don't know very much about what they're doing, but did manage to discover that they're experimenting with something called a "samophlange".

Now what the heck is a samophlange? Well, whatever it is, I want to examine it, so I need someone to go get it.

I obtained a copy of their control system operating manual, you should be able to figure out how to disengage the samophlange from it.

Completion

A variety of buttons, levers and blinking lights are somewhat erratically arrayed on the face of the control console. A small gauge indicates that the apparatus is currently operating within optimal levels, and indicates that control valves one through three are currently open. There is a small keyhole set into the lower right side of the control panel.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 93.75 experience (4 50 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Ratchet

I really hate this quest chain, don't die then you need to run from crossroad and the spawn time of the goblins is where short, so you proberly have to kill the same mobs again.... and don't let them flee they just get some friends

One of the most obscure pop culture references in World of Warcraft, this quest's repeated name is a reference to, of all things, a Thunder Cats out-take. Googling ""Blundercats"" does a good job of finding it.

The samophlange control facility is where the Venture Co.'s entire Olympic sprinting team works when they're not training.

Sputtervale is now hostile to the alliance, so we can no longer do this chain.

Not sure why the above comments list the control panel at 52,11 perhaps it changed in the patch or something but standing in front of the Control Panel the correct coords are:

50.3, 25.7
