The Vendor-Tron 1000 and Super-Seller 680 are part of a scripted caravan that travels between two points in Desolace. The 1000 appears when the caravan reaches the northern location, and the 680 appears when it reaches the southern location. The two robots sell different sets of items.

When the caravan is at the southern location, one of the two goblins tells you that the 1000 should be set up at the northern location in an hour, but it only seems to take them 15-20 minutes to make the trip and the robot appears immediately. They seem to stay at each location for no more than 10 minutes.

I tested this today.
Vendor-Tron 1000 stayed for about 13 minutes,
Super-Seller set up about 12 minutes later, and stayed for about 11 min.
The return trip north was about 12 minutes too.
both travel times include a stop early on to yell for guards.
Sadly, I did not think to see if the guard thing was a quest.

(edit: in the nearly 5 years (whoah) since posting this, I have done both guard quests many times.)

If your looking for this guy, it's a little tricky.

You have to find Cork Grizelton's Kodo Caravan. It travels in Desolace, from Kormek's Hut in the North, to the Gelkis Village in the south.

When the Caravan stops at the Hut, the Merchant 1000 is spawned, and you can get 4 cooking recipes.

When the Caravan stops at the Village, the Merchant 680 is spawed, and you can get another 5-6 cooking recipes.

For the Alliance, these robot merchants and the only source for these recipes, as the only other venders for them are deep in Horde cities.

The Caravan travels from one, stops for about 15 mins, then on to the other and stops again. Good luck, its and easy way to pick up many recipes in one-stop shopping.

It takes approximately 25 minutes for the caravan to move from the south to the north. So if you find the Vendor-Tron 680 and run north to the Vendor-Tron 1000, have a book on standby ;-)

at X:00 the vendor is summoned at the southern point of its route, as described above.

at X:30 the other vendor is summoned at the northern point of its route, as described above.

I was leveling up cooking late in the game, and these two stops were totally awesome. I had cooking at 176 and found 8 recipes that were not already known, all of which used ingredients that I've been finding for the last few weeks and had no use for yet. Two recipes were above my skill level at the time but I bought them anyway and learned them a few minutes later after cooking up 27 carrion surprises, one of two recipes that use mystery meat, which drops plentifully from scorpions. The previous information posted here was correct and very helpful.

Desolace caravan goes up & down its route, taking about 20 minutes each way & stopping for 10 minutes at each end.
When its at north end stop just west of Kormek's Hut at 60,38 it spawns Vendor-tron 1000 robot.
When at its south end stop west of Mannoroc Canyon at 40,79, it spwans Super-Seller 680 robot.

Each robot sells Limit 1 supply recipe.
But if you buy out all the recipe of a single type & want more, wait for it to go to other end then come back. When it respawns again all its items will be restocked & you can buy more of the same recipe again (still Limit 1 though).

If its a recipe the one faction can get easy & other can't, like Carrion Suprise which horde can get easy but alliance can't, you can also just get on a horde alt to buy it & put in neutral auction house. Then get a friend to buy it & mail it to you.

I followed the caravan all the way trying to get the belt. Neither the belt or the gloves were in stock! It is a total pain as Desolace is a dump and takes a chunk of time to wait for the caravan. I suspect the leatherworking recipes are on a timer so don't think that they re-spawn every time the Venor-Tron 1000 stops because they don't!

Commentaire de Thottbot

This vendor does NOT sell the "Green Leather Armor" Pattern. Neither does the vendor on the other end of the caravan. I traveled back and forth all day looking for this pattern and to no avail.

Does anyone know where I could possibly get this item other than the AH?

Commentaire de Thottbot

And if any of you Leatherworkers out here care, he doesnt sell any of the other LW patterns either

Commentaire de Thottbot

Can anyone Verify if the Free Action Potion is still spawning on this. I followed the Caravan back and forth THREE times. buying the scrolls on the southern trip and waiting for the Free Action to spawn on the Northern Trip... No luck.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Vendor-Tron 1000 spawns @ 60,38

Super-Seller 680 spawns @ 40,79

The caravan stopped on the road during it's journey from the northern point to the southern point and yelled out for bodyguards to protect them, then it waited. I continued on to the southern point while the caravan remained stationary waiting for "bodyguards". Within about 20 minutes though, the caravan showed up at the southern point where I was waiting. Cheerios!

P.S I was the first buyer at both stops, and there were NO other recipes available other than cooking recipes. Also available were various scrolls and then the regular vendor items such as drinks/arrows.

Is he Horde or Alliance or both?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Once the caravan comes to the hut, the vender-tron appears. I found everything I needed there.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I ran all over looking for this guy. Anyone know LOC?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

There is a long long delay to wait for Vendor-Tron 1000 up to 30 minutes after he leaves. You have to wait until the caravan with two slow kodos gets to circling to the same area.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The caravan will wait at 45,75 for an escort through Mannoroc Coven. If you haven't done the quest, you can get it and start the escort. You have to fight 3 groups along the way that spawn out of nowhere. A few paces after the 3rd fight, the caravan will speed up and run to the spot on the map (60,38). Once they arrive, Vendor-Tron 1000 will spawn and you can click him.

Just finished it on my lock alt... :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I followed the caravan from end to end, and the robot vendors at each end both only had recipes, no patterns of any kind. This was just one time, but I did catch them at the beginning of each cycle. Both times they seemed to have a fresh supply of the recipes, but again, no patterns.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Is he Horde or Alliance?

Commentaire de Rostkebab

Useless, items are limited. No thanks.

Commentaire de Dragon1263

Sat here for an hour and the caravan never showed up...

Commentaire de Mediena

Takes about 1 hour for it to travel from south to north. Only recipes available were Heavy Kodo Stew, Roast Raptor, Jungle Stew, Carrion Surprise, Lean Venison, and Hot Lion Chops. No other plans or alchemy recipes. Waited to buy shadow oil for nothing.

Commentaire de juero3

In Classic, the recipes for alchemy and leather working are not available. Only cooking recipes and scrolls with primary STAT buffs.

Commentaire de Hairband

Annoying to read these comments and not getting the message across clearly and succinctly, so here goes:

This is one of two rare robot vendors in Desolace. Each sells some cool limited supply recipes, primarily the 5 ones you will see in the link above. These recipes are important because they help you level cooking with mats that are easy to find, the catch is that the recipes themselves are limited supply. The key is Cork Gizzelton's caravan and you will find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (or in this case, in the end of his travel pattern). Cork just goes back and forth in a backwards "C" path from the middle of the map to the eastern road, then along the southern road where he'll stop by Gelkis Village.

So follow Cork Gizzleton and his kodos and grab the escort quest, if you haven't already done it. Cork goes from the south by Gelkis Village towards Shadowprey Village to the north by Kormek's Hut and passes right along the Kolkar Village. The caravan with Cork Gizzleton leading the team starts and ends at the lower West along the road to the east and along the longer road and around to the Kormek's Hut. He ends and starts at the Gelkis Village by Shadowprey Village (the lower LEFT aka Southwest corner of the map). BOOM, the Vendor-Tron spawns right next to him, which is a small robot.

In sum, where Cork ends at the south, the Super-Seller spawns next to him. Where he ends at the north, the Vendor-Tron spawns next to him. Lather, rinse, repeat. Just follow Cork's ass until he stops and the robot vendor appears next to him, it's that simple.

For the SoD crowd, looking to farm Health and Mana pots off this vendor... Have you ever wondered why sometimes it takes hours for the caravan to roll in, if at all?

I suspect Blizz used some sort of triggered scripting for the caravan movement. Kind of like when you enter a zone and no one else is around, not has been for a long time and the npcs suddenly all self-buff simultaneously? This is because their scripting is dependent on the presence of a player. No player, no script trigger...

So the caravan seems to have a few different points in its round trip where if no players are around, it will just sit there. But as soon as someone gets close to it, it wakes up and starts moving. Since Desolace is essentially a "dead" zone where there is no applicable content for players at level 25, *and* most farming routes do not align with the caravan route, it can get stuck in an unpopulated area, waiting for someone to come alone and trigger its next script.

TL;DR - You can't reliably wait for the caravan, escort it to ensure the fastest trip.

Takes approximately 40 minutes (give or take 5-10) to go from 1 place to the other.
