Gimble requires that you go to Western Plaguelands and pick up some items that were somehow scattered. He requires you to get four items. The items are Scitterous Mechanopendages, node of chemicular vigor, Wiggy orbinous puppetosphere, and axelized rotational matrix. Respawn on items is 1.5 hours and all items are lore.
EDIT: As of April 5th 2022, turning in just one set of items gives the final dialogue and the quest is flagged as complete. Previously the NPC would accept five sets of the four items. The quest dialogs below has not been updated.
Walkthrough
Find Gimble Highsprocket (Shadowdale at 1484, 2307, 297 •) .
You say, 'How can I help?'
Gimble Highsprocket says, 'Glad you asked. We had a shipment of bits'n'pieces lost in the West Plaguelands. The contents of the caravan were scattered across the area, but I need those contents, and so I need you to get them back for me. Alternately, there's another project we've been working on.'
You say, 'That sounds simple enough.'
Gimble Highsprocket says, 'That's because I'm not done talking! The contents were housed in special boxes that are now destroyed. Suffice it to say, you can't have more than one of the same kind of bits'n'piece at a time, or bad things happen. You'll have to make a few trips.'
You say, 'How many kinds are there?'
Gimble Highsprocket says, 'Only four. You'll know them when you see them--gnomish engineering is recognizable anywhere! Each set you bring back will put us a long way towards our goal, and you towards your promotion. Now get going!'
Note: A combination Invisibility and Invisibility versus Undead make this an incredibly safe and easy quest to do. All items are [LORE] and [NO DROP], so each set much be collected separately. Be careful when looting the south-east spawn of Scitterous Mechanopendages not to click on the throne which serves as a port-in to Plane of Entropy.
