Meldrath's Majestic Mansion Progression
You can use the Guild Hall, a wizard port, or run through Steamfont Mountains to get to Dragonscale Hills. Keep a lookout for a "Prototype Decoder" off of rares (Mischief) and loot one. It's a progression drop.
Progression Introduction
In order to access the end-game zone, Crystallos, you must gain access to the non-instanced version of Meldrath's Majestic Mansion. You only need MMM Zone Access to start the quest for the Crystallos Zone Access. All quest items are pre-lootable.
Zone Access
Part One
Zone: Dragonscale Hills
Start by locating Gimblefixx and say [a deal]. You'll be assigned the solo task "The Search for the Ultimate Story". The next step is to obtain three items by killing minotaurs, and then turn them into Gimblefixx for a Clockwork key. (Tradable on FV)
- NPC: Gimblefixx (/way 0,0)
Requirement: 75 or 80?
- Turn in these 3 items:
- Crank Handle with Silver Filigree
- Small Silver Clockwork Device
- Small Silverthread Sack
Receive:
Part Two
Zone: Dragonscale Hills
Locate King Ak`Anon in a locked metal hut. You'll need the Clockwork Key to open the door. Hail King Ak`anon and follow his dialogue. After you say [test], turn in the Clockwork Key to King Ak`Anon to receive a Clockwork Seal of Ak`Anon. If the door is locked behind you, say "I want to leave". Return to Gimblefixx and hail him for a task update.
- NPC: King Ak`Anon /way 2638, -2546
Requirement: Clockwork Key
Note: I was able to target, hail, dialogue, and turn in the key to the king without entering the hut.
Part Three
Zone: Fortress Mechanotus
Take the cannon from Dragonscale Hills to Fort Mechanotus. Locate and hail Clockwork Warmarshal for a task update. Next, find Gurtrude the Spymaster and say "Warmarshal sent me" for a task update. Afterwards, say [alone] and accept the solo task "Disrupt the Workshop". Invis and run to the zone S.H.I.P Workshop.
- NPCs: Clockwork Warmarshal,
- Gurtrude the Spymaster
Requirement: Clockwork Seal of Ak`Anon
Note: You can use Find to locate Warmarshal and Gertrude. The zoneline for SHIP Workshop is a chain that you run across.
Note: You do not need to complete Disrupt the Workshop)
Part Four
Zone: S.H.I.P Workshop
Make sure you have your Clockwork Seal of Ak`Anon with you and the task "Disrupt the Workshop". Demount/uninvis when you zone in. Next, hail "a steamwork spy mk-I" located near the zone in. This will give you a clockwork illusion and faction buff so that you are non-KoS to enemies in the zone. Locate an injured spy and hail for a task update. You will also receive Spy Document. Next, Return to Gurtrude and turn in the Spy Document for a task update.
Requirement: Clockwork Seal of Ak`Anon on your person
Note: There are two elevators up when you zone in. If you get the task "Disrupt the Workshop" for the faction buff, this part is so much easier. Otherwise, prepare to invis and clear mobs. Levitate works in this zone.
- Warning! Rares will still attack you.
Part Five
Zone: Fort Mechanotus
You can remove the task "Disrupt the Workshop" at this point. While in Fort Mechanotus, kill clockworks in Fort Mechanotus until you find a Piece of Scrap Metal. Next, zone into Gyroscope Beza or Zeka. If you're in Beza, locate Engineer Gyrzim and loot a "Document Sample". If you're in Zeka, locate Technician Masterwork and loot a "Document Sample". You need a "Document Sample" from both. Return to Gurtrude and turn both Document Samples for a task update. You must have your Seal in your inventory to turn them in.
- Gyroscope Beza
- Gyroscope Zeka
Note: There are a lot of see invis mobs. Levitate works. Prepare to fight a lot of clusters.
Warning! Do not turn in your seal or scrap metal with the documents.
Part Six
Zone: Fort Mechanotus
After you turn in the two Document Samples, turn in the "Clockwork Seal of Ak`Anon" and "Piece of Scrap Metal" to Gurtrude for a task update to receive a "Clockwork Key". Say [configure the key] to Gurtrude, then locate and hail Clockwork Warmashal for a task update and a new solo tasked called "Exploring the Mansion".
- NPC: Gurtrude the Spymaster
- Configuring the Key
Zone: Fort Mechanotus
Head to the Zoneline for Meldrath's Majestic Mansion. Configuring the key is going to feel tricky until you get the hang of it... Right-Click your key to change the tooth to Inserted or Removed. By waiting a few seconds, the tooth # changes to the next tooth. When you click the door to MMM, you reset the position back to Tooth 1 until you have all 8 teeth aligned correctly. Clicking the door gives you dialogue on how many you have incorrect. Below is an example of my first two door clicks. Removed was the correct position for Tooth 1 for me.
Requirement: Clockwork Key
Note: Click the door to check if the tooth is correct. Once you know, remember it and set the tooth accordingly when you get to that number again.
You are not flagged for the T3 MMM Raid Access.... Yet. Keep a lookout for a "Prototype Decoder" off of rares and loot one. Mischief loot rules might work in our favor for this drop.
