The X-995 Mechanocat is the ultimate expression of Mechagon engineering—a customizable, clockwork feline mount that purrs with mechanical precision. Unlike random drops, this mount rewards dedicated scavengers and tinkerers with a deterministic, craftable path to ownership, followed by a vibrant collection quest for unique paint colors.
What makes the Mechanocat truly special is its post-crafting customization system. By hunting down rare paint vials across the island, you can personalize your mechanical companion with eight distinct color schemes, making it a unique trophy for mount collectors and completionists alike.
Acquiring the X-995 Mechanocat is a multi-step crafting journey that begins in the junkyard paradise of Mechagon Island. The process involves unlocking the region, purchasing a blueprint, gathering scarce resources, and finally assembling your mechanized companion.
To start your journey, you must first gain access to Mechagon Island. This requires completing the introductory questline for Battle for Azeroth content.
Alliance: Head to the Hero's Call Board in Stormwind's Trade District at /way #84 63.0, 71.6. Speak to the Hero's Herald and accept Battle for Azeroth: Tides of War.
Horde: Head to the Warchief's Command Board in Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength at /way #85 49.7, 76.7. Speak to the Warchief's Herald and accept Battle for Azeroth: Mission Statement.
Follow the introductory questline until you reach your faction's capital (Boralus or Dazar'alor) and complete the initial foothold, earning the achievement Come Sail Away (Alliance) or Welcome to Zandalar (Horde).
Once this is done, locate the questgiver for Mechagon in your capital:
Accept and complete the quest The Legend of Mechagon to unlock the island and the Rustbolt Resistance faction.
Tinkmaster Overspark - Alliance Questgiver
Gazlowe - Horde Questgiver
Once Mechagon is unlocked, head to Bondo's Yard and find the vendor Cork Stuttguard. From him, purchase the Blueprint: Mechanocat Laser Pointer for 500 gold.
Important: After purchasing, you must "learn" the blueprint by interacting with Pascal-K1N6 in Rustbolt. Only then will the crafting recipe become available.
Crafting the Mechanocat requires three types of rare resources from Mechagon. Here's the complete list and how to farm them:
The journey doesn't end at crafting! Your X-995 Mechanocat can be repainted by collecting rare Paint Vials from across Mechagon. To unlock painting, you must first upload each vial to Marvelous Martini in Bondo's Yard. After that, you can change your cat's color anytime by speaking to him.
Collecting and uploading all seven obtainable paint vials grants the achievement Available in Eight Colors, which rewards the final, eighth color scheme.
Pro Tip: Use group finder tools to hunt rares efficiently. Many of these rares are frequently camped, but cross-realm groups increase your chances.
