Mechanical Spider Parts
Gnome workmen are trying to recover mechanical parts to repair the Hollow Eve spider. They exchange parts that you find for tickets, which can be redeemed for prizes at future Hollow Eve festivals.

- There are diminishing returns. Received 700 tickets on 10/11 for a flarmencrank. Premie bonus also decreased to 210 tickets. --Hithrael 23:33, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Finding Parts
Various mechanical parts can be found in the treasure system on any creature that normally drops items. Any of the LOOT options will still allow parts to be found, with the following exceptions:
- LOOT BOXES (although the parts still have a chance to spawn in the boxes themselves)
- LOOT EQUIPMENT
Making Parts
Solomon indicated there will likely be a way to acquire instructions to forge the parts, though he provided no further information.
The Blacksmithing discipline is likely to be the avenue.
Exchanging Parts for Tickets
GIVE [PART] TO WORKMAN to exchange it for tickets. The first person to turn in each type of part gets a few bonus tickets. Premium subscribers also get a few extra tickets for any part turned in (30% of base tickets for the fancy pieces, 10% for the nuts, gears, and bolts.).
Tickets are NON-TRANSFERABLE and are tracked on a per character basis, so make sure that you use the right character to exchange parts for tickets.
There is at least one gnome workman in every province.

Descriptions of Parts
- nut: Sorta like a a warblet, but smaller. I'll mark you down for about 100 tickets if you find me one of those.
- bolt: Yep, bolts. A bunch of them fell out just after the nuts, but before the gears. I'll add around 100 tickets for each one you find.
- gear: Yeah, round with griblets on the outside. I'll mark you down for about 100 tickets if you find me one of those.
- spangleflange: If a spangleflange flew off and hit you in the head, you still wouldn't know what it was. Either way, I'm willing to give up around 1000 tickets if you have one for me.
- rackensprocket: No, it's pronounced rackensprocket. I'll mark down about 1000 tickets in your name for one of those.
- flarmencrank: It's designed with Nedeplunk's golden ratio, and has a torque to weight rating... Bah! It's shiny, says Flarmencrank on the side, and is worth about 1000 tickets to you.
- glarmencoupler: Ahh, when I hold a glarmencoupler I still marvel at the ingenuity of gnomish craftmen. Terribly hard to reproduce without a proper workshop so I'll be happy to credit you with around 2000 tickets if you have one of those.
