Gnomeregan quests by faction
Gnomeregan has more quests than most dungeons at its level, and most of them begin outside the instance. Collect them in the cities before you queue.
| Quest | Faction | Giver | Objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Grand Betrayal | Alliance | High Tinker Mekkatorque, Ironforge | Kill Mekgineer Thermaplugg |
| Gyrodrillmatic Excavationators | Alliance | Shoni the Shilent, Stormwind | 24 Robo-mechanical Guts |
| Essential Artificials | Alliance | Klockmort Spannerspan, Ironforge | 12 Essential Artificials |
| Data Rescue | Alliance | Master Mechanic Castpipe, Ironforge | A Prismatic Punch Card |
| Save Techbot's Brain! | Alliance | Tinkmaster Overspark, Ironforge | Techbot's Memory Core |
| The Only Cure is More Green Glow | Alliance | Ozzie Togglevolt, Kharanos | High Potency Radioactive Fallout |
| Rig Wars | Horde | Nogg, Orgrimmar | Rig Blueprints and Thermaplugg's Safe Combination |
| A Fine Mess | Both | Kernobee, inside Gnomeregan | Escort Kernobee to the Clockwerk Run exit, report to Scooty in Booty Bay |
| Grime-Encrusted Ring | Both | Dungeon drop | Clean the ring in the Sparklematic 5200 (needs three silver), then keep it or return it |
Breadcrumbs feed several of these. Brother Sarno in Stormwind sends you to Overspark, Gnoarn in Ironforge sends you to Ozzie, Mathiel in Darnassus sends you to Klockmort, and Gaxim Rustfizzle in Stonetalon sends you to Castpipe. On the Horde side, Sovik in Orgrimmar starts the Scooty chain.
What level should you be for Gnomeregan?
Aim for the low 30s. Wowhead lists the dungeon at 26-36, and most Gnomeregan quests need level 20-25 to pick up while sitting at quest level 26-35.
Nothing scales in Forever. Arriving at 29-31 means the final boss and the Rig Wars and Grand Betrayal objectives don't drag the run out.
How do Horde players get to Gnomeregan?
Horde players start with Chief Engineer Scooty from Sovik in Orgrimmar and turn it in to Scooty in Booty Bay. The follow-up, Gnomer-gooooone!, has Scooty calibrate the Goblin Transponder.
In Classic that transponder was the Horde shortcut to the Gnomeregan area. Otherwise it's a long trip through Alliance land in Dun Morogh, so travel in a group on PvP rulesets.
Is Gnomeregan worth running more than once?
Yes, if you need specific gear or a schematic. Quests give most of the experience on the first run. Repeat runs got better after the November 8 hotfix added 50% to dungeon kill XP.
The Thermaplugg schematics and the Battery Pack blueprint are good reasons to farm, especially for players building toward advanced campsite objects.
Does Gnomeregan count toward Legacy points?
One Legacy challenge asks you to defeat the final boss of every level 26-45 dungeon. By Wowhead's 26-36 range, Gnomeregan falls in that band, so Thermaplugg is a kill you need for that point.
If you'd rather not deal with the maze, PewPewShop has a dungeon run with a vetted group of human players for from 23 EUR.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Gnomeregan entrance in WoW: Forever?
Gnomeregan is in Dun Morogh, in Alliance territory, per Wowhead's Forever zone page. Alliance players can walk there from Ironforge or Kharanos. Horde players have a much longer trip through Alliance land, or they use the Scooty quest chain that starts with Sovik in Orgrimmar and continues in Booty Bay.
Who is the last boss of Gnomeregan in WoW: Forever?
The final boss is Mekgineer Thermaplugg. He drops Thermaplugg's Central Core, Thermaplugg's Left Arm, Charged Gear and the Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator, plus several schematics. Killing him completes The Grand Betrayal for Alliance and is part of the Horde quest Rig Wars.
Can Horde players do Gnomeregan in WoW: Forever?
Yes. Horde groups can enter and have their own quests: Rig Wars from Nogg in Orgrimmar and the Scooty chain that leads to Gnomer-gooooone!. A Fine Mess, Grime-Encrusted Ring and Return of the Ring are open to both factions. Expect to travel through Alliance zones to get there.
What is the Sparklematic 5200 in Gnomeregan?
The Sparklematic 5200 is a machine that cleans grime-encrusted items. Insert the Grime-Encrusted Ring, a drop from the dungeon, and have three silver coins to start the machine. Afterwards you can keep the ring or return it to its owner through Return of the Ring, which differs by faction.
Is Gnomeregan new in WoW: Forever?
No. Gnomeregan is an original dungeon that returns in WoW: Forever. Its loot was reworked, though: Wowhead marks several drops as new, including the Thermaplugg Medal of Honor, the Skullduggery Belt, the Irradiated Shield and campsite blueprints from Crowd Pummeler 9-60.
