Objectives
Bring a Prismatic Punch Card to Master Mechanic Castpipe in Ironforge.
Description
When we fled Gnomeregan, we left so much data behind! Vitally important data!
I need the data on a prismatic punch card, from a Matrix Punchograph 3005-D high security terminal, deep in Gnomeregan. You must access the terminal, but to do that you first need clearance... and to get that you must access lower security terminals-- models -A, -B and -C. And to do THAT you need security punch cards, starting with white... and we left all the punch cards in the city.
It's a catastrophe! Can you help?
Rewards
Progress
Do you have the prismatic punch card??
Completion
You did it! You found the prismatic punch card and recovered the lost data! Vitally, critically, immeasurably important data that we could not live another moment without!
Your service to the gnomes will be long remembered, <name>.
Notes
Outside the Instance
The first part of this quest takes place in Gnomeregan, but outside the instance. You must first get [White Punch Card], which is a random drop from the mobs near the instance. Then you must use the card in a Matrix Punchograph 3005-A, which are located in the Train Depot area (on the raised platform in the center, and by the Workshop (back door) entrance). This will give you a [Yellow Punch Card].
Inside the Instance
- Matrix Punchograph 3005-Bs are located in the Dormitory (just past the Clean Zone). They will upgrade your Yellow Punch Card to a [Blue Punch Card].
- Matrix Punchograph 3005-Cs are located on the platform with Electrocutioner 6000. They will upgrade your Blue Punch Card to a [Red Punch Card].
- Matrix Punchograph 3005-Ds are located on the lower level of the Engineering Labs. They will upgrade your Red Punch Card to a [Prismatic Punch Card].
Binary punch card translations

- The Lich King lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Gnomeregan forever!

- <insert funny message here>
- Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
- If you can read this, you're standing too close.
- The gnome king wears night elf underwear.
- Help! I'm trapped in a binary punch card factory!
- Message to Castpipe: your laundry's ready for pickup.
