You receive the first card from the wandering elite mobs in the upper level outside of the instance.
Place that card in the card reader outside of the instance. (Run over to the west and get Techbot's brain while you're here).
Each card reader gives you the card needed for the next reader.
The remaining card readers are located inside the instance.
These are all of the translated messages from the five punch cards as well as all the machines:
Tell your friends to play WoW
Play the Warcarft roleplaying game
Kiss me, I'm gnomish!
The Lich King lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gnomeregan forever!
How am I driving?

Anyone know what the binary on the machines translates to? It's obviously ASCII given that it's 8 bits per segment and each starts with 0 but I don't want to do all that work for this :P

Question about the quest.. Is it necessary to hold on to the old punch cards to complete the quest? My bank is breaking at the seams for slots :/

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if we need all 4 cards to get the final card? I haven't found that written anywhere, even on that very cool map Dudes mentions above. My bank is breaking and I wondered if I could get rid of the old cards and save just the most recent aquisition, the Red card.

Comment by Thottbot

The white punch card (the first one) drops off the Addled Lepers (non-elite) that are outside the instance, by Techbot. They do NOT drop off the elite mobs (Caverndeep Invaders, etc). I know because I have been killing those elite mobs for the past hour for experience and such.
On a side note, Robo-mechanical guts DO drop off those elite mobs outside the instance. Not a great drop rate, but good to know if you like to solo quests as much as possible like me.

Those maps are awesome..they explain everything. and ignore what the guy said about the last card, it's in the engineering lab..best way to describe it. You need the most recent card to activate the machine, so you should be ok just keepng the last one you got to finish the quest. so, first card drops off the non-elite mobs outside the instance, then you have to go to the machine that is in the same room(near techbot, straight ahead when you come down the tunnel into the train depot) and it gives you the next card. then the next machine is outside the clean room, then the next machine is up a ramp when you get to the groups of gnomes around flying machines. you go up the ramp and fight the Electrocutioner 6000, he's guarding the machine. Then the last machine is in the engineering lab, as i already said. Have fun!

Comment by Thottbot

Do I need the prismatic punch card to get the schematics from the punch card machines? I got it off a mob in the backdoor hall, the one you need the workshop key to acess, and its what I need to turn in. Do I need it to get the engineering schematics from the punch card machines?

Comment by Thottbot

Ok I have completed this quest and handed it in. For some reason I still have all the punch cards minus the one that gets handed in. Is it safe to throw these old cards out now? I don't see any need for them at all and I can't sell them or trade them. It just takes up slots

Comment by Thottbot

what do i do i do with the Cards after were done with the quest . its a stupid question. but are the card unless after, or would we need them for later on?

Comment by Thottbot

--EDIT--
Lower cards are useless once data rescue is finished.

Comment by Thottbot

Now i have white, yellow, blue, and red punchcards, BUT now what and how the heck do i get the prismatic card?

The binary code on the punch cards translates, through ASCII, into more proof of the immense sense of humor of the programmers.

SUPER CRITICAL TRIPLE-ENCODED DATA CARD
Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Yellow Punch Card
ULTRA VITAL DATA! SECURITY RATING 5122!
If you can read this, you're standing too close
Blue Punch Card
DO NOT LET THIS INFORMATION INTO ENEMY HANDS!
The gnome king wears night elf underwear
Red Punch Card
SECURITY RATING 10^10000 SUPER SENSITIVE DATA!
Help! I'm trapped in a binary punch card factory!
Prismatic Punch Card
THE SECURITY RATING OF THIS CARD SO HIGH THAT IT IS PENDING THE INVENTION OF A NEW NUMBER TO DESCRIBE IT!
