Slightly Unstable

Quest 3 of 4 in the K3 Chain
Both Factions • The Storm Peaks • Level 78 • K3
Deliver Jeer's Improved Land Mines to Ricket in K3.
Turn around and talk to Ricket, who is standing a few steps from Jeer. The mines are built from the wreckage and tools you already brought back. While you are with her, take everything else she has, including Reclaimed Rations and Expression of Gratitude if you have not already, since they cover the same ground west of town.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Jeer promised quite the epic journey and then pointed ten feet to his left, with a warning that Ricket was a little loopy. Ricket took the mines and called them the cutest little packets of destruction, which settled the question of who was loopier.

“Looking good! No, not you – my new mines. You’re just a little full of yourself, aren’t you? I, on the other hand, am absolutely brilliant! My intellect cannot be matched. What were we talking about? Oh yes, my new mines! New and improved… ready for whatever devious use Ricket has concocted. Be a good lad and go hand them off to Ricket, will you? She’s right over there… it should be quite the epic journey, I’m sure.

Be careful though, she’s a little loopy.”

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Jeer Sparksocket — K3, The Storm Peaks [41, 86]

Turn In: Ricket — K3 [41, 85]

Objective: Speak with Ricket at K3.

 

Walkthrough

  • Accept the quest from Jeer Sparksocket, turn around, and talk to Ricket a few steps away. That’s it.
  • This is a hand-off quest. Jeer has finished the Improved Land Mines using parts you gathered in Clean Up and tools from Just Around the Corner, and now he’s sending you to deliver them to Ricket for field deployment.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Chain Position: 3 of 4 (Clean Up → Just Around the Corner → Slightly Unstable → A Delicate Touch)
  • After turning this in, Ricket gives you A Delicate Touch, where you’ll actually use the land mines at Garm’s Bane against magnataur and snobold attackers.
  • Ricket also offers several other quests at this point, including Reclaimed Rations and Expression of Gratitude, if you haven’t already picked them up. Grab everything available before heading out.
  • Ricket is effectively the leader of K3’s operations, and she drives most of the zone’s opening quest chains. You’ll be working with her through the entire K3 hub, from gnoll cleanup to the full assault on the magnataur cave at Garm.

“Looking good!” Jeer said, and then, before I could work out what to do with that: “No, not you. My new mines. You’re just a little full of yourself, aren’t you? I, on the other hand, am absolutely brilliant! My intellect cannot be matched.”

He lost the thread entirely for a moment.

“What were we talking about? Oh yes, my new mines! New and improved… ready for whatever devious use Ricket has concocted. Be a good lad and go hand them off to Ricket, will you? She’s right over there… it should be quite the epic journey, I’m sure.”

Ricket was ten paces off, in plain view, facing us.

“Be careful though. She’s a little loopy.”

This from the goblin who had built a minefield he could not cross and left his assistant standing in the middle of it.

The journey was not epic. I carried a crate of explosives ten paces and handed it to the goblin whose exploded rocket sled had supplied the parts for them, which struck me as tidy in a way nobody at K3 had noticed.

“Jeer finished the mines? Dandy.” She had the lid off before I let go of the crate. “Well, aren’t these just the cutest little packets of destruction you’ve ever seen?!”

They were not. But she was holding a box of live ordnance and waiting on an answer, so I told her they were very fine mines indeed.

 

Ricket had the mines and a plan for them that involved somebody else carrying them into magnataur territory, and planting live goblin explosives called for A Delicate Touch.
