Gnomes start off questing in Coldridge Valley, a subsection of Dun Morogh that also serves as the starting area of the Dwarves. The gnomes now make their home in
Ironforge; they have made efforts to retake their beloved former city as well. Some notable loot from the Gnomeregan dungeon includes
Hydrocane,
Vengeresse empoisonnée,
Jambe de l'électrocuteur,
Roueur manuel,
Réactivateur de gigaflux électromagnétique.
Gnomes can purchase the following mounts from
Milli Featherwhistle in Dun Morogh at any reputation level. All other factions must be Exalted with Gnomeregan to purchase them.
In Battle for Azeroth, the Gnomes now have a separate starting zone experience from the Dwarves, and even reclaimed part of Gnomeregan during
leading up to Cataclysm. Gnomeregan remains a dungeon, but it's also now a
battle pet dungeon with cute mechanical pets to collect!
Gelbin Mekkatorque is now in a coma, following his heroic stand at Dazar’alor, helping Jaina infiltrate the city, and we’ll get more Gnomish lore soon in
the new zone Mechagon and
Gnome Heritage Armor, coming in 8.2.
