mechanotablets...

[Ngreth Thergn]

Is it just the creep reapers or will it be any clockwork creature anywhere that can drop them?

It is any DOD gnome clockwork... the "good" and the "Bad"

There are also at least two of the fidlebrap missions that have clockwork.

[Wymp]

Thanks, Ngreth. That is good to hear.

[Bonkr]

Where are the fidlebrap missions?

[Sharrien]

the Items guy made me remove the pet focus one, because we are not allowed too have focus for SK's, Druids, and shaman... and We were conversely not willing to make it class restricted)

Jeez man, that just zapped one of the only reasons I had for trying to finish this quest for at least one aug. Every time I open these forums now I get a new kick in the teeth. How about you and the items guy work out your differences and put the pet focus back in? That just might make me want to try to continue this aug epic.

[Gynko]

where can we get fidlebrap missions?

[Gynko]

ok, nm, found it.

Fibblebrap missions are given by Belfast.

[Galain]

Does Belfast's text on a hail change when you have the right faction, or is there a phrase we need?

[CaiserSoze]

Faction faction faction, and more faction. hope you didn't kill any good gnomes while farming creep reapers =)

[Redi]

Faction faction faction, and more faction. hope you didn't kill any good gnomes while farming creep reapers =)

But Bellfast told me to!

... The Creep Reapers and the other clockworks with them will not miss the parts!

well bout 4 hours after patch started i did a quick download and saw no mention of the mechanotablets or increased drop rate/addition of those missing. Please tell me that this wasnt forgotten as i been looking forward to this all day.

Mechanotablet drop should be in. It just may have missed being noted

The rate of any particular tablet should be the same as the tank ones were, the tank ones will be the same.

This will mean that overall tablets drop more often, and the caster ones do... but at the rate that the tank ones did...

if that makes any sense at all

[Bloodbayne]

Yes it makes sense, i just wasnt sure if the note was missed or if it was forgotten. i wanted to finally be able to get my hands on a usuable tablet. While cleave 5 is cool and all, it doesnt serve much use to a druid. thanks for clearifying the fog for me yet again ngreth.

[Ngreth Thergn]

It looks like the pet one may be dropping... sell it or use it for research skillups because it will not combine in the AAAA. Will have to remeber to check which one is the pet one when I get to work. (darn confusing names)

[Sharrien]

Is there any chance at all of the pet focus returning to the list of possible AAAA combines?

[Fourchette]

Ngreth, the pet one IS dropping, got it yesterday after the patch.

As for everyone else's questions...
- Mechanotablets were not forgotten, only forgotten in the message. (BIG THANKS NGRETH!)
- The drop rate of tablets is MUCH MUCH higher now. I get one every 2-3 clearings of the reapers in CC. Got 7 yesterday in about 3 hours.
- The reapers in CC can drop any of the tablets now, it seems. Had a mix of caster and melee ones dropping, about 50/50. I've added the new finds in the update section of the boards here.
