This is one of the upgrade items for the iLevel 640 epic goggles that engineers can make and use.

*UPDATE for June 23, 2015* - Unstable Morden's Magnificent Contraption and Unstable Oglethorpe's Octagonal Lenses can no longer be crafted. Pre-patch 6.2 upgrade items (created before the patch) can be deconstructed to create the following:

Item	Deconstructs to:
Unstable Linkgrease Locksprocket	Linkgrease Locksprocket + 15 X Sorcerous Fire
Unstable Morden's Magnificent Contraption	Linkgrease Locksprocket + 25 X Sorcerous Air
Unstable Oglethorpe's Octagonal Lenses	Linkgrease Locksprocket + 25 X Sorcerous Water

As of 6.2, the new initial upgrade item will be Linkgrease Locksprocket (used for any and all upgrades until Stage 4). The upgrade items required for each stage is listed below:
Stage 1 to 2 (Item level 640 to 655) - Linkgrease Locksprocket
Stage 2 to 3 (Item level 655 to 670) - Linkgrease Locksprocket
Stage 3 to 4 (Item level 670 to 685) - Linkgrease Locksprocket
Stage 4 to 5 (Item level 685 to 700) - Bi-Directional Fizzle Reducer
Stage 5 to 6 (Item level 700 to 715) - Infrablue-Blocker Lenses

**Note that 3 separate Linkgrease Locksprocket items are required to get from Stage 1 to Stage 4.**

Notes about the upgrade items:

The upgrade items themselves are BoE and can be traded or sold on the Auction House
They can be used by anyone (not just engineers)
Using an upgrade item on gear will NOT bind it to you if it is not already bound to you
The upgrade item will NOT change the combination or proportion of stats on the item (e.g. if non-upgraded version has versatility and haste, the upgraded item will also have versatility and haste, just more of each stat)
These items can be used on gear that is already equipped
These upgrade items are exclusively crafted by Engineers - you cannot craft them as a non-Engineer, even with the Engineering Works building in your garrison
The Savage Blood used for upgrades to Stage 2, 3 and 4 are obtained from the Garrison Barn, crafted by alchemists as a daily cooldown, or purchased from "Appraiser" Sazsel Stickyfingers (H)/Ashley Zerep (A) in your garrison for 25 Primal Spirit each
The Felblight used for upgrades to Stage 5 and 6 are obtained from mining, herb gathering, skinning, or fishing in Tanaan Jungle

Linkgrease Locksprocket	70 X Gearspring Parts 15 X Sorcerous Fire 15 X Savage Blood	Schematic: Linkgrease Locksprocket, sold in: - Warspear (Nik Steelrings) - Stormshield (Sean Catchpole) - Vendor in Garrison Engineering Works building Cost: 5 Secret of Draenor Engineering
Bi-Directional Fizzle Reducer	175 X Gearspring Parts 30 X Sorcerous Water 30 X Felblight	Schematic: Bi-Directional Fizzle Reducer, sold by the Ore Trader visitor in your garrison - Alexi Hackercam (A) or Trixxy Volt (H). Note that you have a 1/5 chance of having a tradeskill vendor in your garrison every day, and there is a set rotation of tradeskill visitors from day to day (between herb, fur, leather, ore and dust). The easiest way to find this vendor is to use the Group Finder under Custom Premade Groups on the day that the Ore Trader is active. Cost: 60 Blackrock Ore
Infrablue-Blocker Lenses	350 X Gearspring Parts 60 X Sorcerous Water 60 X Felblight	Schematic: Infrablue-Blocker Lenses, sold by the Ore Trader visitor in your garrison - Alexi Hackercam (A) or Trixxy Volt (H).

The easiest way to find this vendor is to use the Group Finder under Custom Premade Groups on the day that the Ore Trader is active. Cost: 60 Blackrock Ore

This brings the total cost of upgrading the goggles (from Stage 1 to 6) to:
735 X Gearspring Parts (Not including 100 X Gearspring Parts to craft the goggles)
45 X Sorcerous Fire
90 X Sorcerous Water
90 X Felblight
45 X Savage Blood

The versions of the goggles are as follows:
Cloth: Plasma Mechshades
Leather: Night-Vision Mechshades
Mail: Cybergenetic Mechshades
Plate: Razorguard Mechshades

Notes about the goggles:

They are BoE and can be sold on the Auction House or traded
They require Engineering at skill level 600 or higher to use
They can be equipped at Level 91
The goggles require 100 Gearspring Parts to craft
One of the primary stats (Intellect, Agility or Strength) will change with based on spec - as such a single helm can be used in multiple specs (e.g. between Elemental and Enhancement shaman specs)
The helmet will be crafted with +93-139 each of two random secondary stats (chosen out of Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, Versatility or Multistrike)
The secondary stats can be re-rolled (randomly reselected) using the consumable item Didi's Delicate Assembly (1 item required per re-roll)
The quantity of secondary stats when crafted is random as well (e.g. one item may have +133 crit and +104 haste, while another of the same type may have +130 crit and +110 haste)
The on-use effect will zoom into the distance, allowing you see distant objects/people. The effect has no cooldown, and is cancelled by moving or right-clicking the buff
The goggles count towards 1 of the 3 maximum Warlords of Draenor crafted items that you can have equipped at one time

A chart of the possible random secondary enchants for this item follows below, with the two stat combinations for each enchant (for example, the goggles could be named "Plasma Mechshades of the Random Enchantment", where the Random Enchantment is one of the below names):

STAT	Critical Strike	Haste	Mastery	Versatility	Multistrike
Critical Strike	X	Fireflash	Peerless	Quickblade	Savage
Haste	Fireflash	X	Feverflare	Aurora	Deft
Mastery	Peerless	Feverflare	X	Harmonious	Merciless
Versatility	Quickblade	Aurora	Harmonious	X	Strategist
Multistrike	Savage	Deft	Merciless	Strategist	X

This is the new, cheaper, and more flexible version of Unstable Linkgrease Locksprocket, Unstable Morden's Magnificent Contraption, and Unstable Oglethorpe's Octagonal Lenses. After you use 3 of these you'll need Bi-Directional Fizzle Reducer and then Infrablue-Blocker Lenses.

With the release of pre-patch 9.0.1 for Shadowlands, these have now become low-value, vendor trash.

EDIT: With the release of patch 10.0.5 for Dragonflight, a replacement has been added in the form of Impressive Linkgrease Locksprocket, so it is now once again possible to obtain impressive crafted Draenor goggle appearances.
