Undermine Zone Guide
Undermine is the eponymous new outdoor activity zone arriving in Patch 11.1, Undermine(d). As a new zone that serves as the hub for Patch 11.1 with lots of new content, players may feel overwhelmed when going through it for the first time. In our Undermine guide, we'll outline all the important activities to complete, such as how to reach the new zone, notable rare spawns, and much more!
Why Should I Go to Undermine?
There are plenty of reasons to go to Undermine in Patch 11.1:
-
Grind the new Renown reputation, The Cartels of Undermine, and unlock their rewards. In addition to Cartels of Undermine Renown, there are also four separate factions for each of the main cartels of Undermine (and you'll gain reputation with them as you grind Renown with the main reputation) - Bilgewater Cartel, Blackwater Cartel, Steamwheedle Cartel, and Venture Company!
-
Earn many new collectable items - there are lots of pets, mounts, toys, transmogs, and achievements to collect in Undermine!
Can I Fly in Undermine?
No. Undermine is an entirely underground zone designed around ground transportation.
However, you will gain an entirely new method of transportation - the G-99 Breakneck, a ground mount that zips around much faster than normal ground mounts!
Unlocking Undermine
You will first reach Undermine during Chapter 1 of the Patch 11.1 questline. All you need to do to start the Undermine questline is to complete the Khaz Algar leveling campaign. The Undermine questline starts with the quest When Opportunity Explodes, given to you by Renzik "The Shiv" at the Foundation Hall building in Dornogal.
This chapter will bring you to previously unexplored areas of the Ringing Deeps, eventually leading you to the Gutterside Rocket Station. Once you've completed the appropriate quest, Stelliya will bring you to Undermine.
In Undermine, you can return to the Ringing Deeps by using the backmost rocket in the Slam Central Station - talk to Carli Joyride to return.

Undermine Teleport in Dornogal
After first entering Undermine, you can set up a link between Undermine and Dornogal. Just across the street from the Slam Central Station, the first location where you'll find yourself in Undermine, you can talk to Rustol and complete the quick quest Test Run, creating the teleport. Note that completing this quest once unlocks access to the teleport for your entire Warband.
The Dornogal end of the teleport can be found in the Forgegrounds area, by the green crystal debris just across from Custodian Khubon and the Catalyst.

Things to do in Undermine
There are plenty of things to do in Undermine, including ways to earn rewards for endgame PvE players and collectors. Some of the main activities to engage with include:
-
Reputation farming with the Cartels of Undermine and its individual factions;
-
Hunting for Valorstones by killing rares and completing World Quests;
-
Hunting for mounts, pets, toys and appearances!
Undermine Renown - The Cartels of Undermine
The Cartels of Undermine is the new faction arriving in Undermine(d). A collective of goblin cartels joining forces to take on the tyrannical rule of Jastor Gallywix, the Cartels of Undermine is the fifth Renown faction players will encounter in The War Within. New to the Cartels of Undermine is the ability to choose a specific Cartel to help every week, earning exclusive reputation bonuses and rewards:
-
Bilgewater Cartel: From brilliant inventors to explosive geniuses, Bilgewater is home to some of the brightest goblins to ever live. They made a big splash joining the Horde, but in Undermine, they can use all the friends they can get.
-
Steamwheedle Cartel: The oldest and largest cartel in Undermine. Steamwheedle has had their hands in almost every industry spanning Azeroth and beyond. But these days, under Noggenfogger, it's all about premium-grade alchemy.
-
Blackwater Cartel: The Blackwater Pirates might be a newer cartel, but they're already making waves in the shipping and luxury vacation industries. They can move any cargo, anywhere, any time, and now it's all nice and legal. Well, mostly legal.
-
Venture Company: Some might take issue with the ways Venture Co. acquires its resources, but no industry can run without materials. You want nice, find a book club. You want to build something, Venture Co.'s got what you need.
World Boss - The Gobfather
There is one new World Boss in Undermine: The Gobfather. The Gobfather is located in the Demolition Dome arena on the northern portion of Undermine.
As of the most recent update to this guide, The Gobfather has no loot information, but we have listed his encounter journal entry below!
The Gobfather
Once a source of pride for the Bilgewater Cartel, this mech was a force to be reckoned with in the Demolition Dome. A pinnacle of goblin innovation... until someone forgot to give it an oil change. Now the King of the Demo Dome has gone haywire, running amok and threatening to unleash havoc upon the citizens of Undermine.
-
Overview: The Gobfather won't go down without a final fight, scattering Primed Boomcrawlers with [Bombfield] and knocking back players with [Giga-Rocket Slam].
At 100 energy it pulls out all the stops, raining down [Death From Above]. -
Tanks:
Primed Boomcrawlers explode with [Bomb Voyage] when stepped on.
The Gobfather inflicts massive damage with its [Death From Above] missiles.
[Flaming Flames] inflicts damage to players in front of The Gobfather. -
Healers:

Undermine Rare Mobs
Undermine is full of rares, with a total of 21 rares to kill around the zone. Most of the Undermine rares are the same as normal rares, but some are zone-wide events that end up spawning Rare Elites - and some of them can only be initially summoned by aligning yourself with a specific Cartel!
When killed, rares drop Valorstones, along with a chance to also drop gear for your specialization. All Undermine rares can be killed for their rewards once per day, and their loot lockdowns are reset with the daily quest reset. There is an achievement for killing 10 rares in Undermine,
Adventurer of Undermine. Below is a map with all known Undermine rare spawns and more detailed information about them.

C.H.E.T.T. Tasks
The Concierge, Honored Employee, and Transaction Terminal, aka C.H.E.T.T., is located on the second story of the Incontinental Hotel in Undermine. This machine not only sells a variety of unique beverage items, but also introduces a way for players to make a good chunk of Valorstones for completing tasks around Undermine.
Talking to C.H.E.T.T. and signing up as an employee will give players a C.H.E.T.T. List. Right-clicking this item will bring up a menu displaying all sorts of different tasks for players to complete around Undermine including completing Delves, aligning with a Cartel, and more! Each list contains 8 tasks, with each individual task rewarding 10 Valorstones.
Once a player has completed 4 of the 8 Tasks, the C.H.E.T.T. List will become a
Completed C.H.E.T.T. List, which a player can turn back at C.H.E.T.T. for a whopping 250 Valorstones.
As of the 11.1 PTR, the C.H.E.T.T. Lists have a weekly lockout. Once a player completes their first C.H.E.T.T. list for the week, they will not be able to grab another one until the next reset. It appears there is a way to bypass this lockout, however we are unsure of how to do so at this moment.
Scrap Digging

Scrap digging is a new activity unlocked in Undermine, starting with Renown 3 with the Cartels of Undermine.
Once you go through the tutorial quest Trash to Profit and the follow-up
On-the-Job Training, you can start doing S.C.R.A.P. Jobs in Undermine. To locate them, look at the Undermine world map for trash icons. Once you find one, head to the area and speak with the NPC in the area, S.C.R.A.P. Heap, to start a job.
Once a job starts, you have 5 minutes to dig through as much trash as possible! Digging trash will give you a new currency, Empty Kaja'Cola Can. As you dig, you will face enemies that will distract you and require killing. You can use some things to speed up your shoveling speed, such as obtaining special Kaja'cola that increases your speed, or even paying off a S.C.R.A.P. Bot to help you dig even faster. There is a limit of 1000 digs that can be done on each S.C.R.A.P. Job.
At the end of the 5 minutes, a Dented Crate will spawn that can be looted for Gold, Valorstones, and
Resonance Crystals.
There are certain increases for S.C.R.A.P. Jobs depending on your Renown standing with the Cartels of Undermine:
-
Renown 6: Scrappy S.C.R.A.P.pper II: Your shovel rate at scrap heaps is increased, and you may purchase
Kaja'Cola X-Treme from Kaja'Cola Dispensers at S.C.R.A.P. Job sites to provide further benefits at scrap heaps.
-
Renown 11: Scrappy S.C.R.A.P.pper III: Speak to Smaks Topskimmer at the Incontinental Hotel to learn how to find
Gunk-Covered Thingy at scrap heaps.
-
Renown 14: Kaja'Cola Collector: You now have a rare chance to uncover
Vintage Kaja'Cola Can while shoveling at scrap heaps.
-
Renown 16: Scrappy S.C.R.A.P.pper IV: You may now purchase
Kaja'Cola X-Treme Mega-Can and
Multi-Pack of Kaja'Cola from Kaja'Cola Dispensers at S.C.R.A.P. Job sites to provide stronger benefits to yourself or those around you while at scrap heaps.
Both Empty Kaja'Cola Can and
Vintage Kaja'Cola Can can be exchanged for rewards with Angelo Rustbin at the Undermine Sanitation building in Hovel Hill.
