Courier Mission: Ore Recovery Rare World Quest Available on NA and EU Realms
The Courier Mission: Ore Recovery World Quest is available on NA and EU realms for the next 2 days, presenting a rare opportunity to complete two achievements. This is the second time the quest has been available in The War Within, after first appearing at the expansion's launch.

To complete I Only Need One Trip, you need to gather 10 ores from Taelloch Mine and deposit them all at once across the bridge to the west. Keep in mind that depositing the ores will complete the world quest, so delay this step if you're also aiming to complete For the Collective. Alternatively, you can use another character since the achievement is account-wide.

To complete For the Collective, you'll need to contribute 100 ores to Reclamation Machinists scattered around Taelloch Mine.

While carrying ores, a stability bar will appear on your screen. Use the extra action button to stabilize yourself. Hitting the sweet spot (3) resets your stability to 100% and grants you the Perfect Balance buff, which increases your movement speed and prevents you from losing stability for 12 seconds!

/way #2214 64.3 64.9 Reclamation Machinist (platform)
To reach the fourth Reclamation Machinist, you'll need to use a Wooden Plank to create an Improvised Platform.



Note: As of today (October 13, 2024), the NPCs may occasionally bug out and not allow donations. If this happens, try completing the achievement on a character from a different realm or realm hop until you find a Reclamation Machinist that accepts donations, as shown in the screenshot below.



Once 20 ores have been donated, the donation bar disappears and an improvised contraption will appear for 2 hours. During this time, no further ore donations can be made.



Tip: Use the Premade Groups tool to realm hop! This week, Aggregation of Horrors is up in The Ringing Deeps, and players from various realms are constantly forming new groups to defeat the World Boss.
