Gather 50 Curious Ore Samples during the Researchers Under Fire: Titan Lockdown event.

A Research Sampler requires you to gather 50 Curious Ore Samples during Stage 7 of the Researchers Under Fire: Titan Lockdown event.

1

Disable War Mode

Turn War Mode off before entering the event. More players participate without War Mode active, which increases the likelihood of your group reaching Stage 7 where Curious Ore Samples can be gathered.

2

Join a Group Finder Group

Use the in-game Group Finder to join or create a group for the event. A larger, coordinated group is necessary to push through the timed stages and reach Stage 7.

3

Build a Speed Set

Equip the Onyx Annulet socketed with Obscure Pastel Stone, Harmonic Music Stone, and Wind Sculpted Stone to gain extra movement speed for collecting ore samples quickly.

4

Position Early, Ignore Enemies

As Stage 6 ends, position yourself on top of the rock spawn locations. When Stage 7 begins, ignore all enemies and focus entirely on collecting Curious Ore Samples as fast as possible.

Tips

  • This achievement can only be attempted during the Titan Lockdown version of the Researchers Under Fire event, so track when that version is active.

  • The required hand-in count was reduced from 100 to 50 in patch 10.1.5, but reaching Stage 7 consistently still requires a full, active group.
