[x ] Give the scrap metal and the clockwork seal to Gurtrude (Fortress Mechanotus)

[ ] Find a decoder and combine the Log and Timetable (Fortress Mechanotus)

Combine the Coded Log Sheet and Cryptic Timetable in this container to produce a new container, Codified Prototype Decoder.

[ ] Speak with Clockwork Warmarshal (Fortress Mechanotus)
[ ] Seek samples and documents that might lead you to something useful (The Steam Factory)

FYI - Zzzapp's list is much more than what's needed for Meldrath Mansion access. Everything in his checklist after "[ ] Speak with Clockwork Warmashal (Fortress Mechanotus)" is not needed for MM access.

The Piece of Scrap Metal is tradable and may even be found in the bazaar. In a regular xp group, I've found that you can get about four to five Piece of Scrap Metal per hour. It's not a terribly uncommon drop.
