Gnomeregan » Zones » WoW Armory Light

Gnomeregan was the capital city of the gnome race until a trogg invasion led to its tragic downfall. The city is currently a mid-level instance. The few gnomes still left in the city fight desperately to keep the troggs at bay. Gnomeregan is a unique instance in that it possesses a friendly NPC section inside the dungeon itself, including vendors, guards, a repair station, some new quests, and even a mailbox.

Gnomeregan is also unique in that it has a very technological (and somewhat comical) theme.

The instance is also particularly notable for the Rare Staff which drops from an early mini-boss, Viscous Fallout. The staff allows permanent water breathing, and as such is often still carried and used situationally even by very high level characters. The staff is thus situationally beneficial to all character classes that are capable of equipping staff weapons.
