Plane of Innovation: Gears in the Machine

Note: There appears to have been a bug with this part of the quest where any attempt to "speak" with "Meldrath" (presumably Meldrath the Marvelous (Clockwork), who will be standing near the zone-in on entry) before collecting the three parts will result in you having to re-do the zone from scratch. This MAY no longer be an issue - I spoke to Meldrath before collecting anything in this zone without it causing any problem, although at this point he doesn't say anything other than he's trying to mask my presence from his brother (November 2021).

Warning: (February 2024) While most of this quest will update in the Heroic version of this zone, The Great Gear (see step 12 below) does not spawn, so you will have to run the Solo to complete it.

Use the portal at to enter Plane of Innovation: Gears in the Machine [Solo].
Kill Repair Bot 5000 (Solo) at .
- The mob has a stiff power drain. Bring power potions and cure arcane pots if you don't have power regen or cures.
Kill the Powered Mechanization (Solo) at .
Use the door opposite the Powered Mechanization (Solo).
Collect the Magnetic Ether Compensator at .

Magnetic Ether Compensator
Kill Toa the Shiny (Solo) near .
- Accompanying Toa are Keewi the Shiner (Solo) and Brasoh the Polisher (Solo)
- (not Solo): Periodically during the fight, Toa the Shiny will emote about an electric shock. Stopping all dps for ?? time or take massive damage.
- (not Solo): Bring Manastone, Overclocked Manastone, and potions as all group members experience massive energy drain during battle.
- (Note: As a Tank with 158-million HP, I was able to solo all three of these. Once I was out of Power, I kited/jousted to stay out of reach, and kept firing arrows at Tiny & Co. It's worth knowing that Keewi and Brasoh will get down to almost zero health and yet somehow stay alive until after Toa in below half health. I must have shot a good 50-or-so arrows to kill Toa, but I was 2/3 health when he went down, because I was keeping out of his damage range most of the time.)
Go to to spawn The Junk Beast (Solo) and kill it.
Collect Maelin's Talismanic Whirlgurt at .

Maelin's Talismanic Whirlgurt
- If it is locked, that means you forgot to pick up the "Magnetic Ether Compensator" in step 5.
Speak to Meldrath the Marvelous (Clockwork) at .
- At this point you should have 3 of the 4 parts required, namely:
  - Muon's Planarwave Actuator
  - Magnetic Ether Compensator
  - Maelin's Talismanic Whirlgurt
- Possibly obsolete warning: Do not speak to Meldrath until you have all three parts in your possession!
Approach to spawn Meldrath the Malignant and listen to his rant.

Meldrath the Malignant
Kill The Manaetic Behemoth (Solo) when it becomes active.
- Periodically it will put down red circles and send out missiles to the center of the circles. The missiles do huge damage if they hit and will explode a short time after landing. The safest place to be is underneath the Behemoth!
Walk to and speak to The Great Gear (spawns as you approach)

The Great Gear.
4 of the glitching clockworks will become active. Defeat them.
Gather the Gyro-stabilized Sorcerous Generator at .

Gyro-stablized Sorcerous Generator
