Bigsby's WonderCog Hunt

The Wonderclaw Machine is being restored! Bigsby has teamed up with Nigel on August 13, 2006 to bring us Bigsby's WonderCog Hunt. This seek-and-find event will last for eight days. To celebrate Wonderclaw's conversion to HTML5, Neopians are invited to serch all across Neopia for hidden WonderCogs and earn prizes along the way. Nigel even has some special prizes of his own to hand out! The event will run from August 13, 2006 until August 21, 2026.

How It Works

To begin your search, head over to the event hub. Before receiving your first clue, you'll need to read through the introductory dialogue between Bigsby and Nigel.

After receiving your clue, you'll need to figure out which location in Neopia the clue is hinting towards. Once you arrive at the correct location, a pop-up will appear letting you know that you've successfully found a WonderCog!

Returning to the event hub after finding each day's WonderCog will display a list of all the Cogs you've collected. A green checkmark will appear next to each one you've successfully found. Finding each WonderCog on its day of release will reward you with a bonus prize at the end of the event, as well as a brand new avatar!

WonderCog Locations

Day	Clues	Location
August 13 - 14	Brr, it's cold in here! That's what I get for fixing the arcade's AC first... Actually, that reminds me I haven't visited my old friend on Terror Mountain in a while. It's because I'm not a fan of the cold, but I really should stop by his workshop sometime soon. He might be able to help me tinker with these machines!	Donny's Toy Repair Shop
August 15	Hrm... I've been struggling a little bit with this machine here. I'm missing a particular shape of cog that's not easy to get; it'd take a special bit of magic to just find one. We may need to consult an expert craftsperson to make us one custom instead. You wouldn't happen to know any artificers, would you?	Neopedia
August 16	This machine's nearly ready, but its internal mechanism is made of a very particular type of mineral. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's not of this world! We'll have to search high and low to get the metal we need, but even if we find it, we may not be authorised to take any home...	Kreludor Mining
August 17	Oh confound it, this machine's got my head all spun around! Even without the missing Wondercog, I can't make heads or tails of what's gone wrong, and it feels like I'm just running in circles. Maybe it's time I took a break and did something to make me happy.	Merry Go Round
August 18	Have you ever gone deep-sea diving before? I must say, there was a time I was hooked on it! Saw all sorts of ruins, too - makes me wonder if we'd be able to find any scrap metal we could use on the ocean floor. Of course, we'd need a way to pull it up to the surface...	Fishing Vortex
August 19	That's odd, I could have sworn I ordered the parts I needed for this machine... Wondercogs don't come cheap, you know, and the shipping was exorbitant! I can't believe - ah, hold on a second, it seems I forgot to have it delivered to this address. It'll still be at the depot. Would you mind picking it up for me?	Grundos Warehouse
August 20	Whew! Almost done. Just one more Wondercog and this machine will be ready to go. The good news is: I have one right here! But the bad news is that it's... a little worse for wear. Nothing a tinkerer couldn't fix, though, especially if they've got a hot forge to work with, and access to a well-equipped workshop. It may be time to visit another old friend of mine - thankfully, this one makes their home where it's hot!	Tangor's Workshop
