Clockwork City Precursor Maker Locations Guide

Precursor Maker GuideThe Precursor is a target dummy available by completing tasks in Clockwork City. The tasks include doing a few quests and then collecting Precursor’s parts in several awfully named dwemer-themed delves and quest zones in the game.

Quest starts from a bulletin board in the north part of Brass Fortress in clockwork City. Quest is unsurprisingly called “The Precursor“. It requires you to go talk to an NPC named Associate Zanon.

Associate Zanon can be found in his workshop in Reactor District, a western part of Brass Fortress. Location is marked on the map below:

Get your Precursor target dummy

After you have collected all Precursor parts, talk to Associate Zanon in his workshop to continue. After a quick quest you will obtain “The Precursor“, a bind on pickup furnishing item faithfully serving you as a target dummy.

The Precursor quest reward

It’s worth noting you can do these quests on multiple characters, and thus receive multiple Precursor target dummies. Grouping them up in player homes is a good and inexpensive way to test AoE damage on a robot army. Keep in mind these Precursor dummies are bound and can not be traded with other players.
