Time is Money, Friend!

Notorious goblins like Monte Gazlowe, Baron Revilgaz, Marin Noggenfogger, and more run each cartel. A secret fifth cartel waits in the wings for players to learn about a bit later. Which of these cartels you align with is up to you; your experience will change within the Undermine depending on which one you choose every week.

Bilgewater: Led by Monte Gazlowe, this cartel is home to some of the brightest goblins, including inventors and explosive geniuses. Their base is located in Bilgewater Flats near Demolition Dome.

Steamwheedle: Under the leadership of Marin Noggenfogger, this cartel is the oldest and largest in Undermine, focusing on premium-grade alchemy. They can be found in The Vatworks area.

Blackwater: Headed by Baron Trade Prince Revilgaz, this newer cartel excels in shipping and luxury vacations. Their operations are based out of Blackwater Marina.

Venture Co.: Known for its resource acquisition methods, Venture Co. operates in The Heaps. Grimla Fizzlecrank manages their operations in the absence of a top goblin.
