Steps

Mattie, the gnome responsible for setting up the fireworks displays for Tinkerfest, has a small problem with malfunctioning clockworks loaded with fireworks which are self-replicating themselves and threatening to overrun Steamfont. I have offered to help destroy some of them.

Disable 10 Erratic Tinkerfest Clockworks before they cause harm!
- Use the Remote Detonator that Mattie gave you on nearby Erratic Tinkerfest Clockworks.
- Note: you receive a fresh detonator each time, which has a decent range, and the clockworks respawn quickly (if there are multiple players "hunting" them at once).
Return and let Mattie know you safely detonated some clockworks.

Thoughtful Tips for Top-Notch Tinkerfest Times!

Make a macro for targeting and detonating the erratic tinkerfest clockworks. You merely have to be near one, press the button, and BOOM!
1. Press O to open the Macros window.
2. Find a blank macro slot and click on
3. Add a Command Step: /target_nearest_npc
4. Add a Use Item step, then drag the Remote Detonator to it.
5. Give your macro a title.
6. Click OK
7. Drag the new macro to a hotbar for easy access.
