Discs of Norgannon (Mechagon daily) UP today
Could somebody who has used that quest to get the hearthstone item, detail exactly what you did?
(DO I need to NOT complete it each time, drop it, re-grab it, gather the disc again, talk to the guy, summon the thing, and kill it? and then hope for the hearthstone…)
Have you read the wowhead write up on it?
I personally haven’t gotten it, I read wowhead and I’m still confused. But maybe you might get something from it.
Yes I read the wowhead pages about it, and it is pretty confusing.
It seems the way to “do” it, is to wait for other people to come by and summon the things, and then with enough time, you will get some drops.
I just got blue bot sprayer, for example.
But, at this point, the only thing I want is that hearthstone.
awww…I want a bot sprayer! Congrats on that.
I wish I could help you. Seems I"m probably more lost than you are.
theres 10 different mobs that can be summoned, you only havea chance for the hearthstone toy blueprint from the first kill of teh day from each of them.
theres 2-3 items (data discs) that can drop off mobs that give a quest to summon a guy, you can summon the guy, kill him, and abandon the quest, and use the item to get the quest again the next day.
thats how i did it, i think it was rusted data disc and scorched data disc, i accepted the quest, summoned the guy, killed him. it took me about 3 days before i got lucky, but once the daily quest is gone i only had those two discs for attempts each day.
edit: the quest starter items that can drop can be used anyday, regardless of wether the daily is up for it.
Ah, that never occurred to me. I just did it again earlier, too 
So you can abandon it, so you can try again tomorrow for sure.
Fun design: once you do it, you unlock the machine to try once a day. It is CLEARLY explained, the drop rate is about 20%.
Welcome to the “New Blizzard”!!: once you do it, you have a 1% chance for the item. It might say it doesn’t reset in the quest text, but it’s really not clear. Why would it be so confusing in the first place?? And when there are 27 other mobs on the Island, all with 1% or less drop rates, why are you adding another one that not only has a 1% drop rate, but can only be farmed once a day???
Hunting rares has an element of fun. Until there are 400+ items of that nature PER expansion. The next 5 expansions of WoW could literally have 0 rare drops, and people will still have things to hunt just in BfA.
This has gotten totally out of hand.
I hung around the summoning area, killing the npcs.
Getting bored with that, I went off and beat up some rares and got a disc myself.
It seemed that a lot of people had a similar idea because there was a welcoming party of ~5 people and no fewer than 2-3 mobs getting summoned at a time.
So, I don’t know if it was my mob or someone else’s, but I finally got my hands on the blueprint last night.
It was somewhere in that pile of holographic corpses.
To be clear.
I think you get loot from every summoned creature 1-time only.
One time on Balnazar, one time on Baron Gheddon, one time on Fozzroc, etc etc
Personally, I just killed other people’s spawns for…I believe it was almost 4 hours til it finally dropped (from one of the elite holograms, cant remember which).
Was this recently or a few weeks ago ?
few weeks ago.
