Grime-Encrusted Ring

Figure out a way to remove the grime from the Grime-Encrusted Ring.
Grime-Encrusted Ring
  •  
Required Money: 3
Provided Item:
Grime-Encrusted Ring

Description

You have uncovered what appears to be a ring from the corpse of one of the Dark Iron dwarves. It is difficult to tell what kind of ring it is, however; dirt and hardened residue cake the item completely, making wearing it impossible. You think you can make out the slight luster of precious metal and maybe even the glint of a gem under the residue.

If you are going to make use of this ring, you are going to need to find something to get the hardened residue off of it.

Ok, i will clarify this quest for you all.

The Grime-Encrusted Ring is a semi-rare random drop by the Dark Iron Dwarves in Gnomeregan. If you right click on the ring it will begin a quest called The Grime-Encrusted Ring.

The first part of the quest requests that you find some way to clean it. Go to the sparklematic machines located in the dormitory area of Gnomeregan, the GOOD gnomish exiles are standing around, a good indication you are in the right place.

Find the correct sparklematic machine, the one i used is on the far side of the staircase, near the door to the left. Click on it and do your quest business.

The follow-up quest, after cleaning your new shiny ring is to decide whether to return the ring to its owner... or not.

The initials 'TDK' are engraved in the ring. You can find our little gnome 'Telvash del Kissel in the Mystic Ward, right in the north east side, co-ordinates : 35,4.

He gives you a new quest, if you choose to accept, which will spruce up your ring to new Heightened Levels of POWER!

Anyway, next quest to follow.

Well, this follow on quest is pretty straightforward, read the instructions.

Bring the Ring
Bring a Silver Bar
Bring a Moss Agate
Bring 30 Silver Coins

..to TDK.

And bring your brain along too, this quest wasn't hard! why are you reading this!

Only kidding, i had this in my quest log for a long time annoying the living .... outa me.

Non-Relevant information to the above, regarding the Grime-Encrusted Objects to follow, below.

Just for your information. The Grime-Encrusted Objects allow you to activate the sparklematic machines to give you gifts, in the form of little red and white presents. Right click on your presents to open them and recieve your gift.

You can use the sparklematic to recieve as many presents equivelant to the number of Grime-Encrusted Objects you have, unfortunately they have painstakingly only allowed you to use one at a time, and the machines is not exactly fast.

We should definitely talk to the Gnomish exiles about this.

N.B - You can only clean the Grime-Encrusted Ring once you get rid of your Grime-Encrusted Objects, or as far as i can remember anyway.

Enjoy!

1) On the alliance side you take it to the NE cornor of the Mystic Ward in IF.

2)He then asks for..
&nbsp 30s
&nbsp 1 silver bar
&nbsp 1 moss agate
&nbsp and the clean ring!

I was able to get some silver ore and a moss agate from the grime encrusted objects lucky for me :D

Then he will give you a BLUE ring that is "Talvash's Gold Ring" w/ 9 stam and 4 spirit!&nbsp A tiny bit better especially if you aren't doing this whole thing to late in lev's.&nbsp Xp for me was skimpy since im a 47 mage and solo'd this all.

CONGRATS.. HOPEFULLY after this you NEVER have to go to that NASTY 'GRIMEY' place again!

1) Obtain the 'grime encrusted ring' via a drop while in the instance.

2) Use the far left machine (left of the mail box) and it gives you an option to clean ring or grime encrusted object. (directions to this room later)

3) Clean ring and go ahead and accept next part of quest weather you plan to do it or not.

4) Now you HAVE the ring "brilliant gold ring" in your bag.

5)hearth leave whatever Ta DAhhh..you are DONE!

---

Ring is only like 4 stam 4 spirit but is upgraded to 5 stam and 5 spirit if you do the next part which I guess gives xp as well. (haven't yet confirmed it myself yet)

TO GET TO CLEAN ZONE.. EASY!

Leave IF.. (lol) follow map to 'gnomeregan'.&nbsp If it's not on your map by now.. STOP and unplug computer!&nbsp You wouldn't even have a clue what we are talking about anyway!

Go in Gnomer from outside.. follow the path then once you get to a choice of paths..stay left.&nbsp This will take you to the entrance of the instance.&nbsp Once in.. follow path and stay left.
PASS first path on the left.&nbsp (that just takes you to a gnome chick who eventually sent me to my death by 'helping' her).. But the NEXT left path take, and stay RIGHT once you get there..that will lead you to the 'dormitory' then down the stairs to the 'clean zone'.&nbsp HURRAY..YOU HAVE MADE IT.

More confermation of the above posts to follow.

For the Horde, the initials on the inside of the ring are NOG.&nbsp Strangely enough, this is close to the name of the Rigg Quest giver in Ogrimmar.&nbsp His name is NOGG.&nbsp He's located in the Valley of Honor.

Once you've cleaned the ring and decided to take it back to him, he tells you he'll upgrade it for a single bar of silver, a moss agate and 30 silver coins.

End result?&nbsp Not sure, but I'll find out tonight and update.

You need one (1) grime-encrusted object and 3s to turn them in for the "gift" from the machine. As for the ring... once you get it you have to actually RIGHT CLICK IT, as it says on the item. It will give you a quest to get it cleaned. You get the ring cleaned by using one of the three machines in the Clean Area (the one with the holdout warriors). If you havent learned how to right click on an item that says "leads to a quest" by the time youre in Gnomer then do us all a favor and delete, unsub and go read a book. :D

In Gnomeregan.
You have to clean the ring in the clean room where there are machines on the walls and no attacking enemies just gnomes.
Cleaning costs 3s every time.

What is the next step once you get his Grime-encrusted ring? I have it and started the quest, but it doesn't give any other hints.

I got the Grime-Encrusted Ring and cleaned it at the machine... and I got a normal Chrome Ring of the Whale...?

I think either the quest is bugged or it's not always the quest ring... =/

Dunno if I should report it as a bug or not... but nothing about initials on the ring. Maybe I have to kill more of those guys and get it to drop again..

My wife and I picked up this ring while doing Rig Wars and we were wondering if it is worth doing. We playing Horde characters obviously since we are doing Rig Wars. Is there a Horde side to the quest? Just wondering.

Just try all 3! the one that is called the "sparklematic 5200" and can be "selected" by holding the mouse over is no doubt the machine. This is all in the clean zone between the troggs and the viscous fallout.
now PLEASE stop asking where it is!

yes, there is a horde version of this quest. you get and clean the ring, same as AF, but the initials on it are NOG, and it has the symbol of Orgrimmar instead of IF. Take it to Nogg in the engineering house in Orgrimmar, got 2700 XP at lvl 29.

The quest is bugged, one of the guys I went with flat out could not use the cleaning machine that I could to do the quest and I did it and just got 270 xp. No gift wrapped parcel, nothing :(

(Horde btw)

EDIT: Okay, not totally bugged, he just forgot to "use" the ring to get the quest. Still thouh, I got nothing from the quest. :/

Just so all are aware, you'll only be able to clean the ring at one of the three Sparklematics. The one that works is the second on your left if you're coming down the stairs leading into the clean room.

Ok i was very confused to read all this, so ill try and help as much as i can.
to clean this ring, which drop nside the instance. its more to the start of the instance. as you enter you turn left, kill numerous troggs, there is a (2nd)left turn u make that will take you down a ramp on the right...(so 2nd left then 1st right) there are machine's down there to clean the ring.(this room has friendly gnomes in it) you can also clean all your encrusted fragments while you are there. if you are familliar with the punch code machines i believe you put the yellow card inside to get a blue card just down the stiars from the cleaning room.

hope it helps
