Putting a stop to Gallywix is just the beginning of helping Undermine and it’s numerous goblin families reuniting in World of Warcraft. But there’s a secret group of low-life goblins looking to turn over a new leaf, with a little help from adventurers.
After completing the quest “Liberation of Undermine: The House Loses,” you’ll find an Overly Stuffed Envelope waiting for you in the Incontinental Hotel. Click on it to start a new quest and follow it to your new destination in Hovel Hill. Find the sewer grate entrance to the secret hideout of Sitch Lowdown. He explains that the Darkfuse, former lackeys for the late Gallywix, are looking to rebrand into something more respectable.
Accept his offer and become the new head of Market Research for Darkfuse Solutions. This fifth faction of Goblin Cartels has a unique way of gaining reputation and awesome rewards to go with it. You’ll also unlock an achievement that grants a new Darkfuse Diplomant title for your characters.

| Box of Darkfuse Miscellany | Grants 500 reputation with Darkfuse Solutions. This is the only way to advance reputation. | 100 Market Research |
| Refurbished Rocket Glider | Launch into the air and float to the ground, useable in Undermine. Great for navigation. | 5 Gold |

| Prototype Auto-Advertiser | An item to place down and cause enemies around to attack you with a 50% damage buff. This also causes them to drop more Market Researcher while it’s active, and has 3 charges. | 100 Resonance Crystals (Unlocks at Friendly with Darkfuse) |
| Electropuncture Test Model | Increases your haste by 20%, reducing damage by 25%, and causing you to pulse nature damage for 3 minutes. This also causes enemies to drop more Market Research while active, and it has 3 charges. | 100 Resonance Crystals (Unlocks at Honored with Darkfuse) |
You’ll need 84 Boxes of Darkfuse Miscellany to reach Exalted with the Darkfuse Solutions reputation. Each box costs 100 Market Research, meaning you’ll need 8400 total. Here’s a breakdown of how you can acquire the necessary items in Undermine:
- Most enemies and Shiny Piles of Trash have a chance to drop one Market Research
- Normal rares drop one to two Market Research
- Cartel Rares drop three to four Market Research
- Undermine Elite Rares drop five to six Market Research
- The Darkfuse Precipitant summoned by the Canister of Darkfuse Solution drops 12-14 Market Research.
- The chest at the end of a SCRAP dig drops 14-16 Market Research. This is probably the easiest at first, but the items that give buffs will stack how many you get from defeating enemies.
While this is a great way to get some unique items, it’s not necessary to reach Exalted with the Darkfuse for any other reason. They’re not required for getting any achievements or rewards for getting Exalted with the main four goblin factions. Happy hunting!
