Unlocking Grime-Encrusted Salvage Quest: SoD Phase 2 Crafting Guide

What's the Deal with Grime Encrusted Salvage in SoD?

Grime-Encrusted Salvage in SoD pulls double duty: kicking off the Phase 2 crafting quest and serving as a prime source for Phase 2 crafting materials. It's exclusively found in the Gnomeregan Raid, so buckle up for some raid runs to get your hands on it.

Once you've nabbed your inaugural Grime Encrusted Salvage, the journey kicks off with a visit to Ziri, a savvy Gnome hanging out in the Clean Zone of Gnomeregan. This area's only accessible post-conquering the first boss, and brace yourself, because part of the quest requires items found only outside the Raid, along with more Grime Encrusted Salvage for crafting goodies.

Upon completing the Grime Encrusted Salvage quest, Ziri's got a treasure trove of rewards up for grabs. Expect top-notch profession recipes galore, all requiring materials exclusively obtainable from cracking open Grime Encrusted Salvage. Some of these rewards remain relevant well into Phases 3 and 4, so don't snooze on unlocking those recipes before Gnomeregan fades from the limelight.

The Grime Encrusted Salvage SoD Quest Unveiled

Step One: Scoring Grime-Encrusted Salvage in SoD

To kick off the Grime-Encrusted Salvage quest, snag one first. It's a drop possibility from almost every mob in Gnomeregan, with bosses boasting a higher drop rate. Cross your fingers for a drop while tackling Grubbis or his entourage. Regardless of where it drops, it's a one-way ticket to the Clean Room.

The Clean Room, a sanctuary within Gnomeregan, harbors vendors, a mailbox, and two handy machines: the Sparklematic 5200 and the currently out-of-order Salvagematic 9000. The Sparklematic deals with Grime-Encrusted Objects, spitting out random crafting materials. As for the Salvagematic, it needs fixing with your aid to unleash Gnomeregan-specific materials.

Step Two: Embrace the "Salvaging the Salvagematic" Quest

Enter the Clean Room and scope out the Salvagematic. Seek out Ziri Littlesprocket, strike up a conversation, and take on the "Salvaging the Salvagematic" quest. Ziri's on the hunt for raw materials from professions and foes within the Raid to patch up the Salvagematic.

While you can stock up on some materials beforehand, a few are exclusive to Gnomeregan, and one requires wrapping up a sister questline dubbed "The Corroded Core".

Step Three: Gathering Salvagematic Quest Ingredients

To mend the Salvagematic, you'll need 10x Mithril Bar, 5x Greater Mystic Essence, 3x GG12-082 Cartridge Fuse, and a Pristine G-7 CORE Processor.

Mithril Bars and Greater Mystic Essence are craftable commodities, purchasable from the Auction House. As for GG12-082 Cartridge Fuse, they're drops from Mechanical-type enemies lurking in Gnomeragan. Short on fuses? Rally your group to tackle a few extra enemies on your way out.

The elusive Pristine G-7 CORE Processor awaits as a reward for conquering "The Corroded Core" questline.

Step Four: Wrapping Up with Ziri & Salvagematic Fix

Fast runners or Warlock-summoned speedsters might just beat the one-hour clock to complete this questline in a flash. But for most, it's back to raiding another day. Post-Grubbis triumph, chat with Ziri (ensuring you've got all materials) to seal the deal on "Salvaging the Salvagematic". This unlocks her stash of profession recipes for a cool 25g each, and grants access to the Salvagematic for future Grime Encrusted Salvage openings, yielding crafting materials tailor-made for those fresh SoD Phase 2 recipes.
