You know, I was thinking the same thing after someone said you can stop the
wheels from spinning by clicking on them. Well I went there the other day
and spent about an hour clicking and stopping the wheels. Tried to get them
all to stop at once. Nothing happened. I tried clicking on all the little
dodads in the windmills (the barrels and that odd out of place set of
drawers) Nothing happened. Tried spewing off every possible term (meldrath,
gimblestein, etc) to the npcs in there. Nothing happened. I got so
frustrated that I created a newbie gnome named Tinkering and attacked the
tinkering merchant. hehe so now on Erollisi Marr there's "Tinkering's
Corpse" laying at the feet of the tinkering merchant.

Subject: [EQ_Tinkering] Talked to Viik

Hello Friends

I got booted from my server Veeshan 10 min ago so i joind the chat to try
and talk to an GM or something and i talked to one called Viik, and asked
why is the tinkering screwed and it�s so damn hard to raise the skill and he
told me that is becouse the tinkering skill are so cool. Well me response
was how is it cool we cant make anything not even an collapsable fishing
pole who shouldnt be that hard to make or find the recipe for. He then told
me that the recipe for the collapsable fishing pole are in the windmills
and that he hade done ALL the items last night on the test server. So i
asked if it was on the test server only, and he said no on ALL the servers.
I then asked what about gnomish fireworks can that be made to ? and he said
yes it can be done.
