Walkthrough

This is sometimes given after the 27 C Blackbox quest. If you turn in the correct report to Drekon you will be told that the "rumors of Red V must be true".

You say, 'what about red 5?'

Drekon Vebnebber says 'Red 5 is rumored to be a haywire clockwork. They say he pieced himself back together and lives in the scrapyard. If he IS there, you must hunt him down and take his blackbox to Manik Compolten. Be careful, if Red 5 rebuilt himself, he may have rebuilt minions as well.'

You need to get Red V's blackbox and give it to Manik. Red V is usually about level 4-6 and spawns in the southeasternmost room of the Mines of Malfunction(Location: 2141, -626, -182). The corridors leading to and the room in which Red 5 spawns are short, so only small and medium sized people can actually fight or cast in there, since you have to be standing to cast or attack.

The spawning point for Red 5 alternates between "obsolete model" and "Red 5". Kill all of them, only red 5 gives the box. If you let the model wander off, you will be forced to kill every obsolete model in the Mines to try to get the right one. Red 5 is killable by solo lvl 8 or bunch of lvl 5's. When he gets low on hp, he will run off and often get killed by the guards outside the mines, so be ready to use root if you have it. If you kill him, his corpse will have an incomplete blackbox. To fix the blackbox you have to put 4 blackbox fragments in the incomplete blackbox and hit combine. You can get the blackbox fragments from the obsolete models that also inhabit the mines. When you combine the 4 blackbox fragments inside the incomplete blackbox you will get a rusted blackbox. The rusted blackbox looks just like the ones you get from the rogue clockworks in Steamfont, but it's actually different. (The other rusted blackboxes are for a different quest.) There is no faction hit for killing Red 5.

If you give Red V's rusted blackbox to Manik you'll get experience, faction changes, a little money and a random item. The reward seems to be random and faction may not play a role, but you should try to have a high faction with the gemchoppers before doing the quest.

Also, you should know that this quest lowers faction with the Dark Reflection, who happen to be the NPC's in the Mines. The item is often a piece of cloth armor (hardly worth the trouble), but sometimes you'll get a potion and sometimes you will get the Bullsmasher - a very nice weapon for any small class. You might also get an Iony's Absorber.

On hand-in:

Manik Compolten says 'This is fabulous news!! You have done well, young one. Once you are ready for [further instruction] please let me know, I will guide you through your early most dangerous days. When you have become more experienced in our art, I wil be able to further instruct you on how to progress through your early ranks, as well as in some various [trades] you will have available to you.'

You gain experience!!

Need missing dialogues, current faction hits if any.
