Mechagon Zone Guide and Junkyard Tinkering
Mechagon is an island off the coast of Drustvar. It was introduced in Patch 8.2 — Rise of Azshara and is one of two outdoor zones being introduced. It features a small main quest line for both Horde and Alliance and is very loosely connected to the events of the Rise of Azshara patch.
On the island, players will be given various activities to help Prince Erazmin of Mechagon, but will also have the opportunity to try the new Mythic-only dungeon, Operation: Mechagon and The Robodrome arena.
Rewards include a number of achievements, mounts, and many many items from Junkyard Tinkering. There are also profession recipes available after farming reputation with Mechagon's faction: The Rustbolt Resistance.
Overview
As stated above, there is a small quest line that will be offered to both Horde and Alliance. Upon completion of the initial quest line for either faction, players will have the ability to explore and freely do any of the following activities:
- More quests — There are two introduction quest lines to the island of Mechagon for both Horde and Alliance. The introduction quest lines will differ from each other, but eventually meet together on the island. There are two world quests that will appear and various NPCs that will come to the island to offer various daily quests. We will cover these in more depth later on.
- Operation: Mechagon is a 5-man dungeon that launched alongside Azshara's Eternal Palace after the release of Patch 8.2. This mega-dungeon has 8 bosses and ends with you destroying King Mechagon. You can find a guide for it here.
- Reputations — The Rustbolt Resistance is one of the 8.2 factions. By ranking up all the way to revered, you can buy recipes, mounts, essences for your Heart of Azeroth, and blueprints to craft unique items and equipment.
- Junkyard Tinkering is a crafting system available to all players in Mechagon. It relies on collecting Spare Parts and Energy Cells around the island to craft a number of items: gear (up to item level 420), pets, mounts, toys, etc.
- Construction projects — Throughout the island, you will find various broken machines that are in need of repair. There will be 2 active construction machines active at any given time. You can either repair the machine yourself with materials that you have gathered on the island or you can recruit other players to assist with repairing these machines.
- Rare Elites — There are a total of 37 rare elites for players to defeat on Mechagon. Some will only spawn during the Drill Rig construction projects, Flame Turrets, or Reclamation construction projects.
- New Mounts and Equipment — In Rise Of Azshara, Players could earn new mounts from both Mechagon and Nazjatar. For Mechagon, there are obtainable mounts from questing and from within Operation: Mechagon.
- Achievements — There are a dozen achievements that players can unlock on Mechagon. Completion of the meta-achievement Mecha-Done will unlock a unique mount from Mechagon, while completing Junkyard Tinkmaster will reward you with the Junkyard title.
Unlocking Mechagon
After players have unlocked their faction's new allies in Nazjatar, they will be able to pick up up the Mechagon breadcrumb quest (Fame Waits for Gnome One in Mezzamere and Rumors of Mechagon in Newhome).

Spare Parts and Energy Cells
One of the first things you will notice in Mechagon is that you keep looting Spare Parts and sometimes also Empty Energy Cells (and more rarely Energy Cells). These items are used exclusively for Junkyard Tinkering, the Mechagon-exclusive profession. Please refer to our Junkyard Tinkering section for more information.
Only Energy Cells are used in Junkyard Tinkering, but they are quite rare compared to Empty Energy Cells. Fortunately, Empty Energy Cells can be recharged using a Charging Station to become Energy Cells. Please refer to our Charging Station section for more information.
Futher Questing in Mechagon
When you complete both quest lines, you can begin to freely explore the rest of the island. There is a total of 11 other locations on the island that you can discover and will have quest lines or daily quests for you complete. They are as follows (with quest lines listed).
- Rustbolt

Construction Projects
In the map above, you can see that there are 5 types of projects on Mechagon: Charging Stations, Reclamation Rigs, Flame Turrets, Drill Rigs, and Rustbolt Armory. Every day, you will be able to complete two different construction projects, each from a different type. These projects repeat all over again all day long for other players to do them, but you can only complete them once each day. The map above mark the possible spawn locations for each type of project.
As you can see in the rare elite section, some Rare Elites only spawn when a given project is up. So you need to pay attention to that, if you are hunting a particular elite.
To find out which projects are available on a given day, you need to speak with Waren Gearheart in Rustbolt. Then, head out to the respective locations to start the project, or help complete a team who has already started. After the project is started, you can contribute to it by donating the required materials ( Spare Parts and Energy Cell in the screenshot above).
After the project starts, mobs will start spawning and try to destroy it. You role is to keep contributing and defend the project. To help you with construction, there are 2 items from Junkyard Tinkering that can be helpful: Emergency Repair Kit and Emergency Powerpack.
There are two achievements linked to construction projects:
- Junkyard Machinist requires you to complete 100 projects (so it will take at least 50 days);
- Head Financier of Mechagon requires you to contribute to 1,000 projects (you can only complete 2 projects a day, but you can contribute to as many as you like).
