Ok, I had real issues with this quest. If it's bugged or if Blizzard ment to make it this way is unknown.

You need to go up in Magmoth, which is straight north of Fizzcrack Airstrip, and find the magmoth crushers or the mates of magmothregar. You use the blaster on them, and if the debuff doesn't come up on the target, continue blasting them until it does, or else you won't recieve the quest objective...

Comment by qhiiyr

The thing backfires a lot, but no matter what happens you always get credit as long as you kill the magmoth.

Is anyone else having an issue with accepting this quest? This quest is not showing up as available for me to accept. It doesnt show as having any prereq and I am level 72, so I should be high enough, and I am alliance. Does anyone have any ideas?

Comment by CrimsonVoid133

wtf, i get the debuff and so duz teh mob but i still dont get credit for killing them? is it really that bugged?

Comment by 25228

I do not see the quest as bugged: rather it seems that in order to get the credit you need to kill the mob after shrinking it not before and certainly not after the shrinking has disappeared.

Comment by Sabrielle

"Whadya mean it didn't work?

But... but...

<Crafty begins to sob>

Okay, we can deal with this. I'm a big girl. Time to think outside the box!"

Crafty tries so hard... it's not her fault her invention didn't work!

Comment by 149202

Hunting for those big fellows in the middle of the snobolds (and their nasty totems) can be a pain for some people, but nevertheless it's a fun quest, made worthwhile by the Yellow debuff.

Edit: Might be worth mentioning the Blaster has a huge range, must be closer to 40 if not 50 yards. Just be careful, they pull the snobolds with them if they're left in their way.

Comment by 314489

Has anyone experienced a glitch where you as well as the crusher turn into Crafty when you use the blaster?

It was cute XD

Comment by neelzfinch

If you want to make sure to get the debuff on the Magmoth creatures, use the item from a large distance and don't move until the debuff displays on the mob. I have had great difficulties putting the debuff on these mobs on short (melee) range. Keep a distance!

Comment by 78267

For all of you talking about the fact that the quest item is not working, or being "Bugged"....

First of all, on the qst item it says it is a Proto-Type, therefor having a chance to not "work" every time, so just try a few times. You'll get the De-Buff up.

And as the others added, yes, it is best to stand still and apply the De-Buff before attacking.

And you need to do "Lust a Few More Things..." to aquire this quest. I know it isn't listed as a pre-requisit, but you do.

Comment by entropicdragon

Crafty's blaster can produce a number of amusing debuffs on both you and the Magnataur targeted:

Shrunk (you / target)
Bigger! (you / target)
Yellow (you / target) Incidentally, the spell ID for turning you yellow is "45678"...
Ghost (you / target)
Polymorph: Crafty Wobblesprocket (you / target)

You will not necessarily receive the same debuff as the Magnataur, and all of them are entirely cosmetic.

I sense some jealousy going on here.

Comment by redwiz

what a pain this q is...

Comment by Sulis

Next quest in this chain is It was the Orcs, Honest!

Comment by 550536

Awesomely the shrink debuff stacks with the World Enlarger.

Comment by 43225

Quest sucks on many levels, particularly for casters.

First you gotta get the device to work. Second the mobs you're going against have a knockback. Third there are a bunch of Kobold around to easily aggro, especially with said knockback, and finally the quest rewards aren't very good and don't sell for much gold either.

Comment by 166755

I didn't even go in the cave. I got my five in just a few minutes in the hills just north of the airstrip. Didn't have to fight any other mobs, either.

In the past, with my other toons, I always went into the cave and often had problems. While mining with my miner toon, I noticed these hills had a number of the target mobs so I decided to try it out. Much easier and faster in the hills.

Comment by 614268

Thought this quest was pretty amusing mainly because I'm a pally and I got the turn into Crafty debuff. A gnome paladin is something to be seen...

Comment by 779134

What a nice quest, fun to read the what the gun do to you and your mob

Comment by Trolled

If you're a druid you can actually shift into flight form when you get the crafty "buff" and swim through the air for a short period of time.

I had some fun with it.

Comment by MsPhelix

To summarize the comments (in order of importance):
This is a proto-type - it doesn't always work.
Target and use from a distance.
Wait until the blaster has completely finished - channeling bar gone, spell lights gone, before attacking.
It will give you and/or the targeted magmath one of several purely cosmetic buffs.

Comment by Cellhawk

Well, these are our "guinea pigs": Magmoth Crusher, Mate of Magmothregar

Comment by Nueve

If you get morphed into a ghost, addons like Grid will show you as a ghost.

Comment by Orwell42

When I first tried this on my hunter at a high level my pet would attack before the cast on the blaster was finished. So if you aren't getting credit make sure you don't have anything killing these prematurely. That is all ^.^

Comment by RolandAllen

For high level players: set your pet to passive or temporarily dismiss it before you use the quest item, because higher lever pets can and will oneshot your target. You only get credit for the quest if you let the cast finish and then kill the Crusher/Mate. Always let the Crafty's Ultra-Advanced Proto-Typical Shortening Blaster finish it's job.

Comment by Marsieh

Since its been a whole lotta time since I last did this, don't just wait until your castbar finishes, the mobs will turn yellowish when you can kill them.

Hah... You're Not So Big Now!

Test out Crafty's Ultra-Advanced Proto-Typical Shortening Blaster on 5 Magmoth Crushers or Mates of Magmothregar. After you have done so, return to her at Fizzcrank Airstrip.

	Crafty's Blaster Tested (5)

Provided item:

	Crafty's Ultra-Advanced Proto-Typical Shortening Blaster (1)

Description

That'll do her, chief! So, here's what I want ya to do....

Take my blaster and head north to Magmoth. If we're gonna have a chance at all against those monsters, we need to cut them down to size... so to speak.

In order to gauge its effectiveness, I need you to slay the magnataur while the blaster's effects are still on it. Any of the crushers or mates will do, but don't bother with the offspring... they're too small to worry about.
