Get Greasemonkey's Shift-Stick
Overview

Greasemonkey's Shift-Stick is an epic two-handed agility staff added to World of Warcraft in The War Within (the raid season of patch 11.1). It is a model from the goblin raid set: a massive shaft assembled from oiled gears, pistons and fittings, crowned with a gearshift lever. The rough industrial silhouette streaked with engine grease is a direct nod to the garage aesthetic of the Undermine goblins.
Source
The staff drops in the Liberation of Undermine raid — the War Within season raid dedicated to storming the goblin city of Undermine. The specific source is the first boss of the encounter, Vexie Fullthrottle, who rolls out in the Tenderizer battle machine.
- Drops from the raid's first boss, Vexie Fullthrottle, and her Tenderizer machine.
- Available on Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic and Mythic difficulties — the appearance is identical across all of them.
- This is group content: at the current level the raid is cleared with a full team, but as last season's content it gradually becomes farmable by a small group.
- The lockout limit is one run per week per character on each difficulty.
There is also an alternative path that avoids relying on luck: the staff is sold for
Puzzling Cartel Chip currency by a vendor in Dornogal. The chips are awarded for the weekly raid boss kills, and with the accumulated tokens you can buy the weapon you need directly, bypassing the random loot.
Visual fit
- Pairs well with mechanical and engineering ensembles — the gears and pistons of the shaft echo goblin and steampunk themes.
- Suits dark sets with metallic and brass accents thanks to its oiled grey-steel palette.
- Fits "garage" and pirate-cartel looks in the spirit of Undermine, where deliberately crude machinery is prized.
- Contrasts with the light cloth and nature-themed druid sets — a debatable but expressive choice for an unconventional appearance.
Tips
The most predictable way to obtain the staff is to save up Puzzling Cartel Chips and buy it from the vendor rather than rely on a random drop.
If you are farming the drop, run every available difficulty each week — this multiplies the number of attempts on a single character.
The appearance is identical on all difficulties, so killing the boss on Raid Finder is enough for transmog — there is no need to chase the Mythic version for the look.
The appearance unlocks in the wardrobe once the item is obtained by any agility specialization — druid, hunter or monk.
As last season's content the staff gets easier to farm over time: the further you are from the current patch, the smaller the team needed to clear the raid.
Check the vendor's stock for chips: the lineup of offers shifted from week to week, and the weapon you need did not always appear right away.
