It could just be me, but I couldn't locate the tools and roknar for several hours, so...

tools 64.39, 23.14
roknar 81.12, 42.13

Comment by 109973

Hair Trigger can be "mined" with engineering from dead robots in The Geyser Fields (Borean Tundra)

Comment by striper

confirming the above,

the tools can be found in a box at 64,23 under the platform right next to a pillar
Roknar is a frozen Elemental at 81,42, just kill it and he drops the quest objective

Comment by Shigyn

Hair Trigger is changed to Overcharged Capacitator

Comment by 214369

Some tool is auctioning the Overcharged Capacitors for 350g+ on Lich King beta realm. Plan ahead and find someone who can make one of these for you.

Wow, talk about overcharging!

Edit: Quoted the post I replied to, as it has been purged.

Comment by 246602

Warning to frost mages! Roknar is immune 100% to frost spells. He also has a spell that throws you in the air a little, which interrupts spellcasts.

Comment by 21986

Is there a follow up to this that might make it worth spending the loot on an expensive engineering item (even if you know someone that can make it for free, the mats are expensive enough) or is this the end of the line?

Comment by damonshadow

Follow up is Hah...You're Not So Big Now! You get some green Items for shrinking and Killing a Magmoth Crusher or Mate...

Comment by 208784

Just dump this quest unless your are an engineer or can get the Overcharged Capacitor form one. It leads nowhere and 145 gold for an overcharged capacitor is just ridiculous.

Comment by 225389

The coords for the tools are 64,23 near a pillar
the coords for rocknar are 81,42 kill hem and he drop
the overcharged capacitor can u buy in the AH or if u know a 375 engeneer he can make it with 4 cobaltbar and 1 crystalled earth

Comment by peeweesweden

150g is nothing. I've made over a thousand this weekend just from questing and vendoring trash.

Comment by 165396

tools is at 64,23 under the pillar

Comment by Miwna

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

Comment by Blackboy0

Roknor or w/e his name is is found near Death's Stand, he is encased in a big thing of ice with a couple of dead guys walking around him. When you get close enough he yells at you, and begins the fight. Really easy to solo :) Just gotta kill 'im and loot the dust.

Comment by 175297

This quest even though down the line it will lead you to some nice rewards, its not worth the money your going to have to shovel out to get an overcharged capacitator.

Comment by 48497

This quest unlocks this quest, so think again if those gold you have to pay, means so much, beside the good XP: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11653.

Well, i payed 40g for Overcharged Capacitor, but i earn those gold back fast..

Think one more time, if those gold you are going to pay, is good, at okay for the quest you will get later.

Comment by 133418

the overcharged only 25g in AH now.

Comment by 283661

map plz for the ones that dont have coords plz we need help

Comment by 55924

http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3537:643231812419

Map for those without coords =)

Comment by 111622

The tools are right here.

Comment by 318046

the overcharged capacitor was only 25g at the AH in Stormwind.

Comment by 316491

81.12, 42.13 is not two seperate coords, but rather one over-precise one
the decimal numbers just narrow it down from one full grid "square"

Comment by Redwod

how can we get the overcharge ?

Comment by 141922

Is this a joke, you have to buy the capacitor? Unreal. Is there no place in game you can pick one up? And they are selling for 34g now at AH. I recommend the trade channel, I got a capacitor for 4g.

Comment by 345030

Blizzard have plenty of form in terms of making quests require crafted items to complete, and this is no exception. Luckily, this one doesn't require anything much in the way of materials, and it's also one of the more common items made to powerlevel engineering, so if you can't find one on the AH reasonably cheaply, an engineer should be happy to to make one if you ask nicely.

Comment by mjblink

From this quest line (including the reward from the previous quest) you will make 42.28g (57.97g at 80) if you take the most profitable item rewards from each quest and vendor them. After having done this math I am going to go ahead and buy a capacitor off the AH for 16g even though at first I felt this was too expensive. The rep and xp seem worth it now.

Comment by 361886

buy the overcharged capacitor @ the auction house

Comment by 178843

Stupid idea for making people leave leveling to go buy something from the auction house imo

Comment by 28922

I sort of saw that coming, Roknar being incased in ice and all....

Comment by 237916

These can also be "skinned" from the mechanicals near the airstrip, but only by engineers... :P

Comment by 424440

The Overcharged capasitor goes for 10g on my realm.

Comment by 453894

thank you for clearing that up... as I was looking up those very specific coords as two seperate ones and was actually about to run all over to the wrong places..

Comment by 519061

The name Overcharger is obviously a pun by Blizzard as well, not just you smarties. As implementing an item with pretty much the sole use of being a quest item could be foreseen to be pretty valuable.

Another case proving how funny our divine host can be!

Comment by 492770

i cant find the Overcharged Capacitor

Comment by Veraldis

The overcharged capacitors are created by engineers. You'll need to check your AH (or hit up an engineer friend) in order to get one.

Comment by Macilles

Well it's not as clear as it should be... incased in ice could be due to someone casting it on him.

His name on the otherhand might be very misleading... 'Rok'nar sounds a bit rocky :P

I actually thought it might be an earth elemental as it's got the same model as previous earth elementals (Silithis, Badlands, etc)

Comment by 749218

I don't get it, the overcharged cap is suppose to drop from the "Library Guardian" Is there anyone who has actually gotten one from a drop. I been killing these guardians for hours, and no drop. Why should I have to buy the thing from AH for some overpriced amount. Requiring them to be purchased to complete the quest is insidious, no one should have to be subject to the AH pricing just to complete a quest. Other than a BOSS or Elite that I cannot kill at level 72, or the AH, where is this item dropped from?

Comment by 749218

So in my case, I do not have a toon that can make one, and I do not know any engineers that can either, NONE on my server AH, so how do I complete this quest. HA, this is just wrong on Blizz's part to require a crafted item without the ability to get it from a drop to complete a quest, FORCING YOU TO PAY EXORBITANT AMOUNTS TO PURCHASE ONE. I have a choice to either drop the quest and loose all the work I did for the other items, or wait, wait, wait, wait, wait until hell freezes before I can either buy it from AH or find an engineer that will make it for me. THIS IS JUST WRONG!

Comment by 793096

HORRID QUEST

Comment by 833385

As a gnome engineer, I didn't find it horrid at all. I supposed having a few overcharged capacitors in my inventory (I've been levelling) didn't hurt. This whole area feels odd, though. I don't reckon I should mine gnomes, even mechanised ones. Being a gnome is odd from the start, I suppose; we start in a war zone, although I read somewhere that might change.

Thank to those who pointed out where the tools were. When I checked in to this thread, I swear I was standing 10 yards away, but hadn't seen them. As there doesn't seem to be a screenshot anymore, I'll just say the tools are on the south west of the structure not the south east. The easiest thing to do is follow along the oil pipe that comes along the ground to the structure from Midpoint Station (from the north west). Just before the oil pipe rises to join the structure you'll see the tools on your left on the other side of the vertical support pillar.

Comment by 699415

Thought Blizzard did move away from these type of quests by now...
Sigh...

Comment by 719083

So far as I can tell (I have done a few thousand quests) this is the only one which requires another player to complete. I am not speaking of quests which are meant for groups or dungeons.

Screw it.

Comment by Kyeld

always appreciative of a quest that can't be completed because none of my guildmates are engineers and there aren't any in the AH

Comment by 910787

Just paid 53 gold for it... I get 4 gold for completing BLAH

Comment by Legolamb

just cost me 75G in Stormwind AH for the capacitor, but made 40G of it back by selling all my trash loot and will prob get rest back with selling quest rewards and a bit of daily farming - no skin off my nose really to do this quest line

Comment by 807176

Blizzard should make this OVERCHARGED CAPACITOR to be a Drop ...
The Membership on WoW has dropped severly and it is next to impossible to find n Engineer willing to make these things much less creat them and post them for sell on the AH ... If not then this Quest is Dead...

Comment by lengthycobra69

ya i'm on ysera server and the dam thing is on the AH for 100 gold and yeah unless i plan on getting the achievement for quests completed in this zone, i'll come back for this quest later.

Comment by Takata

about 33g on my server for the Overcharged Capacitor. But still it should be a drop or the item should be removed from the quest. As more expansions are made, these quests are less done and items like these will be made less.

Comment by 823485

Seems like 1 engineer had nothing to do but make the capacitors all day. 30g's a pop isn't too bad and a good supply at the Stormwind AH. The only part I didn't like was the long boat ride with no food, drink, and ladies at the pool.

Comment by annebradsmith

Well . . . this was a first. I couldn't do any spell damage to Rocknar, but he couldn't do much to me either as I'm level 85 Mage. Out of frustration I hit him with my staff - something i never do - and voila took him down in 3-4 whacks. Surprised that wasn't already posted.

Comment by CaptainWater

For those of you who were in trouble, just like I were, here is a quick summarization.

The objective of this quest is to travel to two different places in Borean Tundra aswell as a friendly Auction House (or a friendly engineer). The quest giver asks you to collect three items.

A Handful of Rocknar's Grit
Overcharged Capacitor
Crafty's Tools

The mob you need to kill for A Handful of Rocknar's Grit, Rocknar, is located at "81.50, 42.50". For those of you without a coordinate addon (get one), this is just a few yards west of Death's Stand in the south-eastern Tundra. He is 100% immune to frost, which was a pain for my mage, but other than that he's no harder than other mobs. Watch out for the Carrion Condor's on the rocks close to him, since aggroing them might be an issue.

Crafty's Tools can be found at "64.40, 23.10" underneath the big yellow oil platform in which you've spent earlier quests in the chain. No harder than that.

As for the Overcharged Capacitor, it can be crafted by engineers, (unless you get it from 3 different dungeons as a drop, which isn't very likely. Like others has stated, it really should be renamed to "Overpriced Capacitor", since mosts engineers sell these for a gazillion gold.

Hope this helped :)

Comment by sandra361

After reading all the comments I was prepared to spend over 30G on one from the AH but I was pleasantly surprised to find they only sell for around 9G on my server. Bought it on buyout and then I turned in the quest.

As a level 70 frost mage Rocknar was the most difficult part of this quest but even he wasn't that hard. Since he is immune to frost I just kept up my ice barrier and then alternated between using fire blast and then hitting him with my staff when I was waiting for the fire blast to finish cooldown. It took about 5 fire blasts to finish him off but my ice barrier absorbed all the damage in between my fire blast cooldown.

Pretty easy quest and the XP is nice.

Comment by 1082932

too many times I get stuck on a quest and I want to thank all who contribute to help others, you have saved me again and again.

Comment by 549624

Frostmages! Use frostfire bolt on Rocknar. Pew pew, down he goes.

Comment by 1128753

And this is why I love Carbonite add on. It pointed me right to the tools. Now the Overcharged Capacitor is a different story. Guess I'm headed to the auction house since I don't have a char on this realm that's an engineer.

Comment by Diboah

I was stuck in this quest for a long time in my main character, the price for an overcharged capacitator was too high at AH and I didn't bother to pursue it. That was when I first started playing wow, a little over 2 years ago. Today, I was grinding reputation for my alt that has engineering and decided to go inside a hole in a mountain in Storm Peaks to explore. There I found, these little Mechagnome Laborer and started killing it to mine. For my surprise, it dropped an Overcharged Capacitator! If I only new it back then... :) So, just a tip for those who had the same experience and didn't want to pay too much for this item in the AH. I found it at the Temple of Storms location, and you can see it in the map linked to these little guys. The OVERCHARGED capacitator dropped for me after the 3rd kill. :)

Comment by zeldof

If you're a Frost Mage, there is a way to get Rocknar without changing specs if you are an Engineer. The key is to keep shielded while on the attack. Step 1: Use your Ice Barrier. Step 2: get close enough to pull him with and Explosive Decoy. It hits him pretty hard and takes nearly half his health. Step 3: attack with your weapon. It won't hurt him too bad but it helps a little. (remember to keep shielded with your Ice Barrier) Step 4: wait for the cool down then hit him with a Super Sapper Charge. If that doesn't get him, then wait for the cool down again and hit him again with another Super Sapper Charge or "The Big One". (you can also use your Mechanical Dragon in a Trinket slot to help fight. Takes a little time but it's doable.

Comment by krisn302

everyone is right about the first 2 items.... the overcharged capacitor is only 13 gold and small silver at the AH or like everyone else said see if u can find a engineer with 375 or better to build u one cheap... best bet buy the materials for it cobalt bars.. less than 1 gold each and u need 4 and 1 Crystallized Earth at 3 1/2 gold... so in the end u may loose a couple gold but u still get the exp... lol have fun ya'll

Comment by DrStrik9

This is possibly the most UNFAIR quest in all of WOW. Simply deplorable.

Comment by SausageWipe

It is NOT required for Nothing Boring About Borean

Comment by Aerynsun8449

Once again Blizzard gets an F for failing to realize not everyone has a high (or for that matter low) level engineer that can make the Overcharged Capacitor. Once again Blizzard failed to realize when they pull crap like this people, being people, will understand not everyone has an engineer that can make this so they will make a bunch and sell them on the AH for a 2,000% profit. (numbers made up as I do not have an engineer to calculate the cost of making one) but I'm sure it's close. Further, blizzard get's an F minus as they tied this quest into loremaster so IF you want loremaster, you have to A. create another toon to become an engineer and craft one or B. Pay through the nose to get one on the AH. This is Wrath content and Blizzard STILL hasn't figured it out. After . . . how many years? It's not a mistake, it's not an oversight, it was intended. Blizzard loves to find ways to screw with the players. Sadly, they know we'll stick around hoping they'll change and not screw with us. It's a great game, moments like this makes ya wonder. . . is it really THAT great? Oh well, nothing says I HAVE to go for loremaster.

Comment by omedon666

While I'm not going to fly off the handle and say that Blizzard did this to mess with players or something like that, the idea of a crafted item needed for a leveling quest is pretty outdated. This is pretty much a quest that only a crafting player will complete on their way through because there is just too much competition for leveling options, and no one who has a sense of time efficiency is going to break their leveling flow to go to the Auction house for this one quest (unless you have the longboi of course). Really should be changed, but again, it's ok if it's not. Quest essentially doesn't exist to me and I'll likely never complete it again... because I don't have to. And that's the core point I'm making.

Comment by mavfin

In 2020, I bought one off the AH for 20g. Cheap for 2020. Not a big deal.

Comment by Daralyn

yeah... I hated this sort of quests back in the day.
I decided to do a questmaster alt, and honestly after finishing whole outland with this alt I have like 18K gold on this character, so it was not a big deal to buy Overcharged Capacitor, but it still cost me 25G on AH
I mean, I know the game used to be more social, I raided with guild until middle of Pandas, but it is still annoying
