Located at 54,10, he is *somehow* spawned by an event needing a 10man which spawns waves of non-elites and then elites (someone please fill us in).

He sells 4 flasks for the Plateaus and Gruul's Lair similar to those from the two Ogri'la quests. All are sold for 10 Apexi Shards.

- critical strike rating +20, Strength +20, Stamina +30 for 120 minutes.
- Intellect +20, Stamina +30, Healing +44 for 120 minutes.
- Intellect +20, Stamina +30 , 8 mana per 5 sec. for 120 minutes.
- Agility +20, Attack Power +40, Stamina +30 for 120 minutes.

This guy arrives once the flares go up, but before the towers spawn. You don't need many people at all. It might even be possible to solo the event long enough to get this vendor to arrive and make your purchase.

You only need to keep fighting if you wish to purchase the gems from the second vendor.

Just did this encounter with seven people. It could probably be done with five, but unless you are incredibly uber I wouldn't try to solo or duo it.

There are fleshbeasts that initially come one at a time, but eventually come faster. Eventually a 72 elite fleshbeast appears, and once you kill him, then the technician says something and this guy, the Aether-tech Assistant, appears. There is no break in fighting - you just have to buy from him while it's still going on.

The next phase of the battle is much much harder. There were two towers lobbing stuff at us, and dozens of 70 elite mobs. We wiped, but we got the flasks we wanted. I have no idea what sort of group you need to get past this, but I'd guess a bunch (25?).

Also of note is that this seemed bugged for us - the fighters showed up, but not the technician that fiddles with the crystalforge. We waited around for several minutes and eventually she appeared and did her thing and the encounter began. So be a little patient if it seems bugged - hopefully it will resolve for you as it did for us.

I'm not sure if this is true of all servers, but on Argent Dawn (eastern time), the event happens every even hour (12, 2, 4, etc). One Aether-tech appears at the Crystal Forge in Bash'ir Landing (same spot as the assistant appears). Waves of stuff start attacking him. Until the elite shows up, its soloable by an AoE class.

The elite has a ton of HP though, you'll need a group to make this guy appear.

1) Not really
2) Yes, otherwise he will die
3) Alot, not sure how many, but there are constant waves, and after awhile there will spawn a 70elite.
4) No idea, best thing is to have 4+ people then you should be able to get it without too much trouble.

- 1 flask cost 10 Apexis shards
- If you keep the npc's alive for a longer time, there will spawn another npc that sells nice socket-gems.
- Be aware of the respawn of bash'ir spellthieves in the camp during the event.

no you don't, it's neutral between horde and alliance, beacuse it's from the shatari skyguards

I just did it with a warlock, pally, ele sham, and mage (myself), not having a tank hurt us. All you really need is a tank, 1-2 dps, and a healer for the elite. You can probobly solo up to that point if you wanted to.

However, after that you will likely need a full raid to get anywhere.

Still no tanking flask from the whole thing...

It is in fact possible to solo the first wave as tank. I've done this on my prot paladin twice. If your avoidance is high enough you can just sit back and aoe tank while the NPCs whirlwind and cleave them down. None of the NPCs seem to generate any aggro (I could pull mobs off of them at 50% with a single auto-swing) so a single demoralizing shout/roar or consecrate should get all of em back on you if you've missed one and it's attacking anything else.

However once the elites start coming you had better run.

I have soloed the event long enough to buy from this vendor twice as an enhancement shaman. Both times, I had no trouble keeping up with the initial waves, but was overwhelmed once the elites showed up. I died, and ran back to my corpse. Soon after the elites killed the Aether-tech and the waves despawned, the Aether-Tech Assistant showed up. With the event being over as "failed" he walked right up to the crystalforge unmolested. I rezed, and was able to buy flasks from him.

Kommentar von 100358

Did the whole event with about 20 kara/gruul geared people and a good mix of classes. As long as you keep your head cool and don't get overwhelmed by all the adds it's not very hard.

The event starts in the Skyguard base close to Ogri'la, when Skyguard Lieutenan takes his men to help repair the Bash'ir Crystalforge. What happened to me is that I (enh. shaman) killed and killed a lot of mobs with the npc squad, but ended up getting rape by a lot of mobs and a 72 elite that spawned later on. When I ressed Aether-tech Assistant had spawned selling some imba Flasks, so I guess you can do it alone but it will probably cost you gold. :P

After a while, Bash'ir Raider will spawn and 3x Mana-debt Slave mobs will spawn with him, channeling a spell and destroying the shop. You can defend it by killing them, then you will be able to keep the shop up and purchase some more. I think the interval between their raids are around 10-15 minutes.

Once the shop is destroyed, and the tech assistant npc vendor flees the area, you can again defent it and re-open the shop next time the Lieutenant and his people show up at the Skyguard base close to Ogri'la.

We just had a raid on this event before we go to Gruul's Lair.
15-manned till last phase and we were able to get all the nice flasks and gems...
I even bought some controlling device, don't know what is it used for though.
The last vendor sells some kind of tokens that can be exchanged for armor pices, just like Tier set items are. The level of those set items is a bit too low to have a raid on that event just for these tokens. Even moderate Kara/heroic set is much better.

Kommentar von PocketFox

I was able to solo the first stage (ie, the only stage I really cared about ^.^) as a hunter in Kara/ZA gear. I died once, ran back, killed some more. I saw the elite spawn and just dropped combat and mounted up. Everything despawned once the NPCs were dead, and the vendor still landed, so I was able to get my hands on some flasks like I wanted.

This guy only spawns during an event at Bash'ir landing in BEM. Every 2 hours some Skyguard fly over to bash'ir to investigate, and get attacked by mobs. The event also spawns this vender https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=23244/äthertechnikeradept who sells some blue gems for 40 apexis shards. If your group dies the NPCs get killed.

This can't be done solo i did this with a group of 5 the other day before gruul for a cheap flask. The fight starts out with some non elites attacking the NPCs 1 at a time. It’s easy just dps them down till the boss spawns. The boss is an elite but the fight is just a tank and spank he just hits harder then the non elites. after the boss dies the NPC that sells flasks spawns and you have a few seconds to buy flasks before the waves start again.

At this point all the mobs that spawn become elite, but they aren’t too hard for lvl 70 elites. If I remember correctly the new mobs are Endar and have an arcane explosion skill they use from time to time. After a few waves of these guys these siege towers spawned and started shooting aoe blasts at us and really caught us off guard. at this point the event got alot harder we had healers and mages aoeing with aggro and many mobs. we managed to kill the towers and soon after that someone spotted the NPCs that sells the gems, which was our demise because we stopped killing and started looking at the gems. We all died soon after there was alot of mobs and all the aoe made it hard to heal everyone.

I think next time I’ll just bring everyone coming to gruuls here to do this event, because with 1 healer and 1 tank with a few dps just wasn’t going to cut it if we wanted to keep the NPCs alive and clear the event. I didn’t think this was going to be a long fight with so many mobs spawning it got a bit crazy, but with the right group and numbers It should be a lot of fun. Who knows it may even reward a good amount of skyguard rep if you clear it.

Out of curiosity, I followed the rangers from the Skyguard Outpost near Ogri'la to Bash'ir's Landing. I was able to keep up with the non-elite mobs fairly well, however once the elite spawned, the rangers and I got overwhelmed. I released and ran back to my body just in time to see the last ranger die.

I wasn't surprised, but I was a little disappointed. However, a few seconds later, the NPC vendor ran up and I was able to purchase flasks.

Perhaps the event itself is not soloable, but if you are able to survive long enough, you should be able to purchase cheap flasks.

Edit: I ran out of Apexis shards when purchasing the flasks... I hearthed back to Shattrath, recovered a stack of shards from my bank and took the flight path back up to BEM. The NPC was still available when I got back to Bash'ir's Landing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where is the point (coords), where you have to protect whom? I don't get it..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

do u need certain rep for this ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if you talk to Aether-tech Apprentice in orgi'la he will tell you, how long there is untill they will go there again..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

While you're doing the Skyguard quests, you get told about the scouts who head over to Bash'ir Landing. They go there every hour on the hour (server time). If you protect them long enough (around 10 minutes), the NPC doing the analysis summons this guy, who sells the flasks for 10 shards a piece.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I think its every 2 hours, but the longer you fight off the mobs the more merchants that come, the next sells a selection of socketable gems for 40 apex shards each. Dont know if there are vendors past that

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Has anyone found out how to get these yet...rep, quest or what?

Kommentar von Moltarr

This npc spawns every 2 hours when an event starts where you have to protect him. Event is easy and pretty much soloable with dungeon gear.

He sells the following flasks for 10 Apexissplitter:

These other flasks are easily obtainable by interacting with a machine in the zone and have nothing to do with this npc nor the event (price is also 10 Apexissplitter)

As the tooltip says, all the flasks only work in Schergrat and Gruuls Unterschlupf. You can go to other zones and still keep the flask buff but with no bonuses until you enter the proper zones.
