Gadgetzan Water Survey

Use the untapped dowsing widget near the pool of water by Sandsorrow Watch. Once you have collected the sample, return the tapped dowsing widget to Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser in Gadgetzan.

	Tapped Dowsing Widget

Provided Item:

	Untapped Dowsing Widget

Description

We've got a position open for a temporary junior-grade surveyor in the Gadgetzan Water Company, if you're interested!

With the nomads seizing all our wells, we need to exploit more free sources of water! There is water to be had in the desert, but only to those smart enough to survey them first.

Take this dowsing widget and tap a sample of the water by the pool near Sandsorrow Watch. It's right in sight of the trolls around there. Bring the tapped widget back to me when you're done!

The area is around 39, 30. To the south of Zul'Farrak.

I got 3050 XP from this, plus my reputation with Gadgetzan "increased". I did this at level 47.

I had two level 47 bugs, but I just bubbled and ran away. Killing them is not needed in the quest. And they spawned after I took the water.

Vanish with Rogue worked great!
confirm cord: 39,30
2x lvl 47 Centipaar Tunneler spawned in the middle of the pool.

I had a 48 bug and 47 bug come out but they didnt touch me.

What I did was as soon as I clicked the widget, I spammed my mount button, so I was mounted by the time the bugs came and got away safely.

The waterpool can be found at 39,29. For those not using coordinates, just head straight west from Gadgetzan, it's just below the entrance to Zul'Farrak.

There are some elites around the waterpool, but those can easily be evaded. After you've taken the water sample, 2x NPCs will spawn (Either lvl 48 or 47).

If you are a rogue/other stealthing class, you can quickly hit stealth right after you fill the widget and sneak away unharmed.

To avoid getting jumped, I suggest you use the widget on the side of the pools furthest away from the trolls.&nbsp Then, summon your mount and ride away as fast as you can.&nbsp It worked for me.&nbsp :)

As soon as you use the widget, a lvl 47 bug will spawn right on top of you, so be prepared for a fight as soon as it fills up (or to run like hell if you were relatively low level like I was).

Or use Nifty Stopwatch. Got away easily, never aggroed:)

By Malachimagi on 06/10/2007 (Patch 2.1.1)

Once you click on the water and the castbar begins to fill just get ready to run away. If you run away as soon as you gather the sample you can get far enough away before the bugs spawn that they will not aggro at all. Just don't run towards the elites... =)

I was completely unprepared and immediately attacked by the two bugs.
I had a heart attack last year. I thought that this was going to bring on another one.
Oh well, just to show the Quest Giver there were no hard feelings, I told him where
a great treasure was buried just north of the Noxious Lair.
As I was galloping away, I heard what I knew I'd hear:
a loud shriek of terror followed by some loud clicks and a wet rending noise.
I'm going to the Inn over in Stormwind for some Ham, Cheese, Morning Dew and some Rum.
I will then read for three hours to settle my stomach and then go to bed where I will sleep with satisfaction and a smile. :)

Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser is at 50,28 on a hill in the NW corner of Gadgetzan. I completely blew by him in my initial check of the town.

Coords of 39,30 are spot on - but beware once you have got ur water two lvl 47 scorpions will attempt to pwn ur ass. Run - travel form for druids - i just got out alive.

Just did this as a 40 shammy; used the widget, dropped a Stoneclaw Totem, and had time to pop Ghost Wolf before the bugs came out. (No mount yet. :( )

Solo'd by lvl 46 warrior, coords: 39.29, killed both the mobs that spawns, 2 lvl 48 buggs.

As a level 40 Paladin, I got the water, got jumped, Divine Shielded and ran. They backed off before my shield wore off, so I mounted and turned it in. Easiest 3050 Exp I ever got.

The Sandfury mobs around the water hole are no longer elite. You can easily avoid them on your mount and head to the west side of the watering hole. The dowsing widget doesn't have to be filled up right at the edge of the water, so once it's filled you can stay out of combat and mount up without engaging the 2 bugs.

Multiboxing & Party Note:

I thought I would be clever and pull down the console and type "/use Untapped Dowsing Widget" to fill all 4 bottles at once and 8 bugs spawned, but since they were stacked on top of one another, I didn't realize this and they quickly killed two of my toons in the confusion.

So even if you can typically take on 'anything', be prepared and know what to expect.

[Blue]Soloed it at lvl 38 actually. Snuck in as a Rogue, filled with water in the far end of pool, away from the trolls. Didn't expect the bugs, so I got killed by them. If vanish and sprint hadn't been on cooldown it would've been easy-pie to get away.[/Blue]

Easy as pie. Filled up water, bugs spawned - wasn't expecting that so I shielded right away, cast fear, and ran like the devil. Did it as lvl 46 priest. Easy.
