Overview

Machine Gob's Iron Grin

Game icon"Machine Gob's Iron Grin" is an epic two-handed maul added to World of Warcraft with The War Within expansion. It is a massive goblin sledgehammer with a menacing toothy maw on its striking head and an explosive mechanism inside. The look is true to the Undermine's industrial style: rusty metal, rivets, gears, and warning-stripe paint.

The maul looks great on goblin- and machine-themed outfits — for warriors, paladins, death knights, and druids who wield two-handed blunt weapons. These days the item is valued primarily as a transmog: gear from last expansion's content is no longer relevant in terms of power, but the bold "sledgehammer" silhouette remains in demand.

Source

The maul drops from The Underpin — a special enemy hidden in the Demolition Dome zone of The War Within expansion.

  • The Underpin is located in the Demolition Dome, in the northern part of the arena — the entrance is hidden behind the stands at coordinates /way 50.4 12.2.
  • This is a delve-format enemy: it can be cleared solo, without assembling a full group.
  • To unlock the standard difficulty of the fight, you need to complete a bountiful tier 7 delve with remaining resurrections.
  • There is a separate achievement, Let Me Solo Him: The Underpin, for defeating it on your own.
  • The maul is bound on pickup; it cannot be transferred to another character.

Visually Suitable For

  • Perfect for goblin and mechanical looks in the spirit of the Undermine's engineers and demolitionists.
  • Pairs well with industrial-themed armor — rusty metal, rivets, leather, and brass.
  • Looks great in the hands of warriors and death knights who rely on brute force and heavy weaponry.
  • Contrasts with elegant elven and holy sets — a debatable but memorable combination for a deliberately "dirty" look.

Tips

1

Before your first fight, make sure you have completed a bountiful tier 7 delve with remaining resurrections — without this, the standard difficulty of The Underpin will not unlock.

2

The entrance is easy to miss: look for a passage along the side walls of the Demolition Dome arena rather than through the center, and head to the small building by the back wall.

3

The fight is designed for solo play, so it is convenient to farm the look on any character of a suitable class without forming a group.

4

The maul does not drop guaranteed, so it makes sense to repeat the run if you are unlucky.

5

The look is added to your collection immediately upon obtaining the item — you do not have to wear it to unlock it.

6

To speed up farming, run The Underpin in parallel on several characters who can use two-handed blunt weapons.
