Hunter of Trouble - Gnomes Gone Wild!

I have not finished all the quests in Nagrand, but I was getting itchy feet to see what was in the next zone, so off I went to Blade's Edge Mountains. I think I have died in this zone more than any other. The first flight point for the Alliance is located here is in Sylvanaar. The vendors in this town are very limited. I found a weaponsmith and both a tradesman and general goods vendor, but that was it. At least there is an innkeeper and mailbox here.
While working on a called "The Den Mother" (sound familiar?) I came across World of Warcraft's interpretation of R2D2 only this guy was called R3DO. When I spoke to him he yelled at me, "WARNING! WARNING! AWAY HOSTILE BEINGS! DO NOT HEAD UP THE RIDGE TO TOSHLEY'S STATION!" Naturally I went up the hill. This was one of those times when I wished I was a Rogue, but I took a deep breath and up I went. The path was littered with pieces and parts of what looked to be the remains of some of R3DO's relatives.
Cresting the hill I saw what can only be described as Gnomes gone wild. It looked like they had taken every piece of metal they could get their hands on and fashioned it into all kinds of contraptions. Gnomes were running everywhere! Sparks were flying from one gnome grinding away on some kind of unexplainable machine. I had only been there a short time when chaos erupted, which should not have surprised me as these were, after all, Gnomes. Bugs began swarming the town, Gnomes were running everywhere shouting!
Why me?
I'm on fire
I'm on fire again!
Pour it on em
This is going to hurt in the morning.
Robots with laser guns blasting, gnomes with death rays were running everywhere as they squelched out the invasion of bugs. It was pure bedlam and I loved every minute of it. After it had calmed down a bit I took a look around for some quest givers. I had the pleasure of meeting Tally Zapnabber who asked me very kindly if I would talk to his Clone… err… twin Rally to take a test flight. I winced when I read the description of the quest. From here I will let the pictures tell the story.

The Fishing report
I have not found anywhere to fish here in Blade's Edge yet. I did work on my fishing skill a bit and did some spot fishing in Terrokar Forest and Nagrand but did not catch anything to write about. Still no luck in finding pure pools either. I did however investigate a rumor I have been hearing about regarding a non-combat pet called Mr. Pinchy. Using Mr. Pinchy triggers the spell cast "Make a Wish".
Alchemy/Herbalism
I finally reached level 65 and 350-skill in Alchemy. I went to Honor Hold thinking I could finally specialize into one of the three lines of Alchemy - Flasks, Potions or Elixirs - but the icon above the Alchemist's head was still grey to me. I tried again at level 66 and still could not get the quest. So more on that later.
