Coolant Heads Prevail (frost Oil quest)

Gyro... what? (Gyrochronaton quest)

Study of Elementals: Rock (Kill the Lesser Rock Elementals)

Study of Elementals: Rock (KIll the Rock Elementals)

Study of Elementals: ROck (Kill the Greater Rock Elementals)

THEN you get the quest named "This is going to be hard" you talk to the guy behind where you get the quest and you get Cog #5 then return to the guy from where your got the quest it's easy.

THEN you get a quest where the gnome summons a lvl 45 elemental and you have to kill it, it kills his little robot first but dont worry it doesnt do anything you can still finish quest, all you do is kill it, loot it for its bracers, talk to the gnome again, and Voila! Nifty Stopwatch.

here's my experience doing quest

they're both at the same place.

You have to do the three elemental rocks quest first before you can get those quest.

1st elemental rock quest - head east toward the horde camp, there should be some lesser rock elemental. They drops those rock shards

2nd elemental rock quest - head to the lost dwarf, just east of him, the rock elemental drops them.

3rd elemental rock quest - the greater rock elemental near the dulsbelch grotto drop them, but i recommend you pick up the Scrouging quest from Sigrun Ironhew (on the hill opposite with angor fortress, but u must do mirages first)
- mirages quest involve retrieving the crate from camp kosh (north east corner of badlands), very simple, go to the back, kill those at the back if you don't want to kill all of them)
- Scrouging you have to find scrap metal from those orge (duslbelch grotto)

Note: make sure you pick up those items from AH before doing this quest, much easier than coming back and forth
- Frost oil (AH cost about 1G depending on server)
- Gyrochronatom (Ah cost about 1G or so)
And if you are extremely lazy, pick up 9 blue pearl from AH as well. Because these are used in another quest in Badlands (pearl diving quest from Rigglefuzz - he also give buzzard wing quest, so save those wings when you do regeant run quest (dont feed ur pet like me and then have to run around for it again)

Basically, badlands have ALOT of quest can be done at the same time. So try and pick them all up at once then start doing it, because mobs in the area are kinda related. moving from one point to anothe, you are bound to run into a coyote or buzzard or orges.

I can't get it either. Not sure why, i'm a level 45 tauren shaman on blackrock. I helped a guildie do it and she was level 41 troll shaman.

The only quest I can get from them is the frost oil one.

EDIT: Finally got the quest. I had to do the frost oil quest from him first, involves getting frost oil (alchemists make it) and a gyro something. That engineers make.

The quest "Gyro...What?" and preceeding quests seem to be a prereq for this quest chain.
