This is a lengthy quest which can take as much as 6 hours in total. However, you can do it in smaller chunks and I've included suitable break points for you. There are three rewards for completing this entire quest line.
Before you start, make sure you have a spare Hacker Tool. You will need it !!! These can be bought in any store and QL doesn't seem to matter. Note that this quest will require you to hand in the Hacker Tool, therefore tradeskillers should use a spare one rather than have the quest "consume" your primary Hacker Tool.
⇑
Stage One (1.5hrs) Visit Uncle Bazzit in
Uncle Bazzit's Workshop
Newland Desert - 1546x2723
in Meetmedere.
Location: 1546 x 2723, Meetmedere
The man who will test your patience.
During your talk with him, ensure you tell him "It looks like something that could modify its head." during the conversation. After some talking he gives you an Unknown Device.
Location: 1260 x 2845, East Last Ditch. (Outside of Reet's Retreat on the left side near the tattoo vendor and Eddie.)
After some talking and looking at the Unknown Device, she gives you a weapon to return to the Vanguards. Make a note of what frequency she wants it tuned to. (write it down, it varies) The following section is slightly different if you are Clan or Omni-Tek sided.
(Clan Side) Talk to
Ramon Bauer
Athen Old - 502x565
Location: 502 x 565, Old Athen East.
NOTE: This can be one of the most frustrating parts of the quest, since this NPC is very easily aggro'd and is liable to be running anywhere over OA depending on where his target died.
Talk to Ramon Bauer
Ramon Bauer
When you finally get to show him the gun, he will ask for a favor and give you a Modified Tracking Device
Location: 436 x 421, Trade District.
NOTE: Potential difficult point in the quest as you may be PvP flagged from an Omni guard, which may mean Omni players ambush you as you try and tag the Commander.
After targeting Commander Kend Ash, return the Modified Tracking Device to Ramon Bauer and ask him to adjust the frequency of the weapon Deidre gave you. Remember the frequency we asked you to write down earlier? You now need to tell him the frequency that you want the gun tuned to. You'll notice that the choices he gives you aren't quite the same as the one Deidre gave you. Just round the number to the closest frequency from the list of choices. (eg. .00002198 would be rounded up to .000022 )
(Omni-Tek Side) Talk to
Commander Kend Ash
Omni-1 Trade - 436x421
Location: 436 x 421, Trade District.
When you finally get to show her the gun, she will ask for a favor and give you a Modified Tracking Device.
Location: 502 x 565, Old Athen East.
NOTE: Another difficult point in the quest, since this is in Clan territory and you are likely to get PvP flagged (via a guard hitting you) and clan players may ambush you as you try and tag Bauer.
After targeting Ramon Bauer, return the Modified Tracking Device to Commander Kend Ash to adjust the frequency of the weapon Deirdre gave you. Remember the frequency we asked you to write down earlier? You now need to tell her the frequency that you want the gun tuned to. You'll notice that the choices she gives you aren't quite the same as the one Deidre gave you. Just round the number to the closest frequency from the list of choices. (For example if Deirdre told you the desired frequency is .00002198, it would be rounded up to .000022 )
Talk to Deidre Lux
Now that you have the tuned weapon, return to Deirdre Lux. Hand her the weapon. You will then need to do a quest to become a member of the "Smokers Lounge".
At this point you can take a break, and come back to the quest at a later date.
⇑
Stage Two (2 Hrs)
You will now need to complete a mini-fixer type quest to gain honorary membership to the "smokers lounge" an exclusive club that you need to be a member of in order for the Bazzit quest to proceed. This is a series of quick tests, so make sure you have allowed yourself time to do this. This is also the point in the quest line that requires a Advanced Hacker Tool. (Again, any QL will do and you will be required to give it to Deidre as part of the quest, so tradeskillers should make sure this isn't their primary Advanced Hacker Tool.)
Right click your Advanced Hacker Tool on the next 3 mobs, to progress the mission. You have one hour to complete the following three-step mission.
Cyborg Lieutenant Colonel
Pos: 1400.9, 532.3, 44.7, Area: Mort Crater.
(Can be found wandering at the Ruins on Mort Crater near Sentinels grid exit)
Cyborg Brigadier General
Same location as above
Prototype Inferno
Inside Cyborg Barracks, Great Tir County.
NOTE: This is the same mob that a lot of soldiers kill for the soldier weapon. 20 minutes spawn timer.
At this point you can take a break, and come back to the quest at a later date.
⇑
Stage Three (4 Hrs)
Time to spend some more quality time running errands.
Talk to Deidre Lux
Show her the Linked Hacker Tool and she will give you a mission to retrieve back a Vanguard Node 19 Access Card. The mission is like a regular pick up mission, simply upload the coordinates and complete the mission.
NOTE: Get your blitzing shoes on. The level of the mission is dependent on your level, scaling up all the way to level 250. So unless you want to spend hours killing high level mobs learn to blitz.
Talk to Deidre Lux
She will give you another mission. This time to hack into the Vanguard Node Controller. This is a "find" mission. You will eventually find a post in the mission which you can interface with.
It's quite tricky to navigate through the chat, but basically you need to print the logs out after you've deleted the records for Uncle Bazzit
This is the item you are attempting to get the Vanguard 19 Node to print out:
Click on "Run" Click on "Link Node 2.3" Then click on "Node 20" Give: Hacked Vanguard Node 19 Access Card Click on "Accounts" Click on "Query" Select "Open Uncle Bazzit's" Click on "Purge User" Click "Yes." Click on "Accounts" again Click on "Print"
Talk to Deidre Lux
Return to Deidre and show her the logs, and she will reward you with a Hacker Club Affiliate Card. Continue chatting with her and ask her for further information on the "unknown device" Bazzit gave you.
Continue chatting until you get to a point where you say "I must tell Bazzit about this"... You'll get a new mission to "update Bazzit on your progress"
Visit Uncle Bazzit in his workshop in Meetmedere
Talk to Uncle Bazzit and show him the Kyr'Ozch Structural Analyzer. Keep talking to him and he will eventually give you a mission to show Ofoz your affiliation with the Smokers Lounge.
Note: Be sure to choose "So do you know anything about the Omni-Tek department involved here?" otherwise you may have to repeat the previous mission!
This will be similar to hacking the Vanguard 19 Node mission. In the mission, locate the Omni-Tek Node . Right-Click the Remote Access Hacker Tool on the Omni-Tek Node you will find in the mission.
Talk to Ofoz
Show Ofoz the Omni-Tek Node Logs and keep talking with him, ask him all about the "Unicorns" and eventually he will give you a mission to speak with Sirocco.
Talk to
Sirocco
Athen Old - 282x210
Location: 282 x 210, Old Athen.
Show him the Hacker Club Affiliate Card, and select "The Truth must be found..." in chat, then "The Smokers Lounge Care and are organized" Then show him the Kyr'Ozch Structural Analyzer. Keep talking and he will go on about Dr. Zibell and Dr. Krank. Then select "I have to tell Uncle Bazzit about this"
New mission.
Talk to Uncle Bazzit in his workshop in Meetmedere
Show him the Analyzer and finally you will be rewarded with the Bazzit's Alien Library. If you have trouble training the perk Alien Technology Level 3, you can speak with Bazzit again and choose the option "These library files you gave me. I can't access them.". This is a known bug and speaking with him again will give you a new library that should fix the problem and allow you to train the perk.
At this point you can take a break, and come back to the quest at a later date. ( You deserve a break by now )
NOTE: You can continue the quest if you wish to find out a bit more about the Kyr'Ozch Structural Analyzer and also receive a five slot belt as a reward item.
⇑
Stage Four (optional)
Continuation of the quest.
The final stage of this quest line is for a component belt deck. If you don't need that belt, then you do not need to complete this section. (We apologize for the cursory summary of this last section of the quest. Since most players are only interested in the first two rewards from this quest line, we have not placed a high priority on detailing this last section.)
Ramon being true to the Vanguard cause, doesn't want to reveal his information for free (if you're omni go to
Commander Kend Ash
Omni-1 Trade - 436x421
). But talk to him about luck, and he will have a mission for you. All you have to do is to retrieve Stolen Goods. He'll then share information (free of any additional charge), revealing that he bought that device from
Eco Red
Aegean - 626x1150
in Aegean at 626,1150.
Red isn't his former self... he's been transformed into hippie-like blubermouth. Just inquire about ecosystems and local wildlife and option to ask about this device will present itself. Unfortunately, he too is extremely busy and would really appreciate if you'd do him small favor while he tries to remember about this device.
So you set out, equipped with Scanning Device, after some local wildlife (they must be scanned in proper order). You can find Hammer Beast roaming around south part of Aegean, Rollerat in Clan BY, Monolith Bluebag in Varmint Woods (level 60 dyna west of Whom-Pah), Vulture Feuder SW of Hope, BS, Grass Snake in Omni BY and far NW in Greater Tir County, in the desert beyond the Wall. Now Red tells you what he knows about Alien crash and admits it was really his friend
Zibell the Wanderer
Central Artery Valley - 3432x2649
from Central artery valley at 3435,2650, who found this device. So now's time for trek to CAV.
Note: Here's little advice/spoiler. Zibell and Dr. Krank are, well, they'd be called eccentric if they would be rich. You can bypass most of conversation just by trading needing item to them. You'd miss some interesting conversation though.
Strike a conversation with Zibell and try making him talk about Dr. Krank. When he starts to relax as he speaks about his counterpart, you feel it's good time to ask about Kyr'Ozch Structural Analyzer. Sure he could tell you about how he got it, but you shouldn't wind him up about Dr. Krank, this is only thing he can think about at the moment. The only option is to get rid of "good" doc. At this point you could go talk to Dr. Krank, but he won't share any information and definitely won't buge. (Here's friendly tip from Minimalist....I sure couldn't find any info what to do next in-game).
Travel back to Aegean and visit old friend
Dodga Demerzel
Aegean - 600x1100
at 610,1120. Ask him about his work for Council of Truth and about personnel shortage. He does have Omni-Tek Personnel Transfer Application and upon learning that it would help Uncle Bazzit, he'll gladly share it with you. Now get back to Central Artery Valley and visit
Dr. Krank
Central Artery Valley - 2963.6x1316.6
at 3205.0, 1766.0. He won't be thrilled about receiving transfer, but he has no choice, besides he probably won't remember it anyway the next day.
Now Zibell is prepared to talk about the device and you learn that it wasn't him who found it (I'll leave you to dig this out).
Just revisit Dr. Krank and force the device upon him. He'll share information and even a QL100 Solid Clump of Kyr'Ozch Bio-Material to test it on. With this done you can return to Uncle Bazzit, who'll reveal a dark secret from the past and reward you with an Overclocked Belt Component Platform.
