Untinker Quest

Description

The Untinker Quest is a quest that you are required to do, if you want to get through another quest later on. The Untinker needs you to help him retrieve a screwdriver that he lost at Degrassi Knoll.

Tasks

• Visit the Untinker. He will tell you that he needs his screwdriver, which is in Degrassi Knoll.
• Adventure in Degrassi Knoll until you acquire the rusty screwdriver from the adventure Screwdriver, wider than a mile.
  • If Degrassi Knoll is available (this occurs if you have ascended under a muscle sign), then Innabox has the screwdriver.
• Bring the screwdriver to the Untinker.

Reward

The Untinker can now untinker (uncombine) any items that have been combined with meat paste. He is, however, unable to unsmith weapons, uncook food, unmix cocktails, or unmake jewelry. If you untinker an item, you do not get your meat paste back.

Text

On initial visit:

"Hey, man -- is an adventurer you? I lost my screwdriver somewhere near Degrassi Knoll, but every time I try to get it back, the Gnolls punch me in the eye.

You look pretty tough, though -- do you think you could get it back for me?"

When you accept the quest:

"Thanks! I'll tell ya, I'm just lost without my screwdriver. Here, lemme mark the Knoll on your map."

New Area Unlocked

Degrassi Knoll, in Nearby Plains.

On subsequent visits:

"Have you had any luck finding my screwdriver? I lost it at Degrassi Knoll, you'll recall.

Upon completion:

"Hey! You found my screwdriver! Awesome! If there's anything I can untinker for you, by way of repayment, just let me know."

Notes

• To complete the Orc Chasm Quest, you might need the Untinker's abilities.
• The Loathing Legion knife can be switched into a Loathing Legion universal screwdriver which also allows you to untinker items.

References

• The question "Is an adventurer you?", seen when the Untinker first issues the quest, is a reference to the game Pro Wrestling, which, in its ending, makes the statement, "Congratulations! A Winner Is You."
• "Is an adventurer you?" could also be referring to the Kingdom of Loathing's own motto, "An adventurer is you!"
