Blizzard have revealed the cartels that we’ll be dealing with in Undermine! We also get a look at all the Renown rewards coming. From the usual Valorstones, Resonant Crystals and Crests to new activities like Dumpster Diving, S.C.R.A.P. and C.H.E.T.T., a hyena and rocket mount, and more, there’s plenty to grind for!
Get a glimpse into goblin culture, society, and unparalleled creativity as you navigate the intricate politics and confront the sinister plans of Xal’atath; you’ll meet the four major goblin cartels: Bilgewater, Steamwheedle, Blackwater, and the Venture Company.
Time is Money, Friend!
Notorious goblins like Monte Gazlowe, Baron Revilgaz, Marin Noggenfogger, and more run each cartel. A secret fifth cartel waits in the wings for players to learn about a bit later. Which of these cartels you align with is up to you; your experience will change within the Undermine depending on which one you choose every week.
Bilgewater: Led by Monte Gazlowe, this cartel is home to some of the brightest goblins, including inventors and explosive geniuses. Their base is located in Bilgewater Flats near Demolition Dome.
Steamwheedle: Under the leadership of Marin Noggenfogger, this cartel is the oldest and largest in Undermine, focusing on premium-grade alchemy. They can be found in The Vatworks area.
Blackwater: Headed by Baron Trade Prince Revilgaz, this newer cartel excels in shipping and luxury vacations. Their operations are based out of Blackwater Marina.
Venture Co.: Known for its resource acquisition methods, Venture Co. operates in The Heaps. Grimla Fizzlecrank manages their operations in the absence of a top goblin.
