Where are the gnomish tools in WoW Forever?

Short answer: underwater, in the wreckage off Scuttle Coast, east of Tiragarde Keep. From The Wreckage... is Gar'Thok's quest at Razor Hill, and he wants 3 Gnomish Tools from the wreckage off the coast. They're small pale toolboxes on the seabed. If there's a lot of people near you, you might not even see one.

Why can't I find the gnomish tools in WoW Forever?

Because everyone else is picking them up. I was in the right area and never seeing them, because they just weren't there spawned. They disappear when you grab them.

It took me ages to be able to see one. I think I actually got a layer move (realm move, shard, whatever the fucking term is), and that's when I first saw them and realised, oh, I've just been in the right spot this whole time. There was just none there for me to get, or to see what I was meant to be getting. If you're stuck, a layer change is what fixed it for me.

What do the gnomish tools look like?

They look like this.

And this is the same spot a second later, after I took it. Gone.

Where is From The Wreckage in WoW Forever?

Gar'Thok gives it at Razor Hill. The wreckage is Proudmoore's fleet, off the coast of Durotar, just east of Tiragarde Keep. I finished it at 63.5, 48.5 on Scuttle Coast. You get to choose one reward, including the Dirt-trodden Boots or the Sandrunner Wristguards.

As of 5 November 2026, launch day. The quest text, location and rewards are from my own quest log; the tools disappearing and the layer move are what happened to me on an orc shaman.
