This is doable whithin the objective n°7 of the Titan Lockdown. Depending on how many players are partaking, you can achieve 5-X stones per event. Since you can take part of the event every hour, you can complete this achievement within 1 day (if you wish to do it fast).

Comment by xLunacyx

When you do happen to see the ore gathering, only 60 can be delivered and if you're fast you might be able to turn in 2 or 3 before everyone else turns in the rest.
Not to mention it's bugged so it ends early, somewhere at 15-21 / 60

This achi may take you a while to do assuming this achievement isn't nerfed or the event changed. You have to hand in 100 Ore Samples during the 7th Stage of the event. Most servers/groups only just barely make it to this stage if at all due to the timer force progressing the event. You can also only do this achievement the week it is the Titan Lockdown version of the event. My tips:

Turn WM Off as more people play with WM off (more likely to get to stage 7)
Join or create a group through group finder
Create a speed set - Onyx Annulet with Obscure Pastel Stone, Harmonic Music Stone, Wind Sculpted Stone is a great quick way to get some extra speed in. See guide Making a Dragonflight Speed Gear Set and running Legacy Raids/Dungeons FAST for more.
As event 6 ends (rocks with the titan watcher) position yourself on top of the rock spawns
Ignore all enemies and dunk the rocks as fast as possible

My high score for an event is 10 handed in, as a Hunter with ~1500 speed and creating a group with 30+ people in it. 40/100 so far on day 2 with 10 events done - though most events end the stage after only 20 sec or so.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Buuloki##DELIM##

For the love of all that is sane in the world reduce this to 50 hand ins. Thats still a tough number to reach, if it stays at 100 it will take over 30 runs (30 hours of completing the runs if done back to back) with an average of 3 ores an event (that's if you can even get a large enough group to reach that phase) I feel sorry for anybody who will try to attempt this after the content is old.

Comment by Brogash

I was just in a 40 man raid where the raidleader used us to get to the ore stage then started to kick out everyone in the raid so he could loot all ores. we reported him. Because of the naming shaming nonsense i wont name his name but it was a shaman from the EU realm Hyjal, just a heads up

Comment by paluman

This achievement, along with a couple of others are currently very tedious, and almost impossible to make steady progress on. On top of that, it is really contradicting to want a large raid group to reach the required stages and then want as few people around to work on the achievement.
I have made a post on the forums to hopefully get some visibility from Blizzard on this here: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/the-researchers-under-fire-achievements-need-a-tuning-pass/449272

Feel free to add to the discussion! Hopefully some changes can be made towards these achievements.

I will also add my voice and experience to this. Ive been doing this as a group leader so i could control how many people were in the raid. Usually it takes 12 people to reach the event with these stones with enough time to collect some. I usually get 5-8 from each event as a shadowpriest. My server is low population and i do it wm off.

When you are doing the elite add from the cave at the event before the stones spawn and he is at 30ish%, start moving towards where you wanna collect the stones. I usually do the 2 rock formations behind the hand in place and i usually get 3 stones before the raid gets there. These stones will respawn if the raid is slow collecting these things and usually the raid dosnt know this. Waiting for the respawn i usually collect 1 stone from another place. I can use powerword shield for movement without dropping the stone, but if i use and attack or my fear the stone drops. I guess its when you use attack abilities.

I think this achievement feels worse that it actually is but i will say if you are playing on a high population server it probably is. I do think its the easiest of the 3 collect achievements this event has to offer.
Good luck fellow achievement hunters :D

Comment by Kronatan

small tip - do it during reset day and day after. During daytime or evening. I'm usually get 4-8 per run. Best run ofc when 10-15 ppl around and you get this phase with 2min left. So you can bring more stones. With 40+ ppl around 3-4 max.

Comment by TheStatman

nerfed to 50 in 10.1.5, still too many, but better.

Comment by JimmyO

Would be doable if the event didn't randomly skip past this step or phase out of it after 3 seconds when it finally shows up. Kinda amazing this stuff is still bugged.

Comment by Currently

So, this achievement is annoying; but not terrible. What I did was join a massive group and stand where the items would spawn before this event started; sometimes I could get as many as 5-6 in a run, sometimes as little as 2. Then, I would leave my raid group and more often than not on my home server, the event was going on as well; they wouldn't be on track to complete all the events, but this event would still be active (or incoming) which would allow me to get even more items. Sometimes I could get up to 10 in a single Research event.

Comment by Triet

Since most of the comments are just complaining about this achievement, I just wanted to note that:

You can look in LFG for a group right before the event starts and go in with 25-40 players for a fast and easy clear. There are groups for it even in the middle of the night. Don't see one? Make your own 5 min before it starts and players will join. People commenting about trying to solo the scenario are just doing it wrong, plain and simple.

You can do this every hour even if you have already received a reward for the week, and you do not have to stick around and help after the curious ore sample step.

The titan console pieces don't count. It's the later stage where you pick up rocks and take them to the consoles that counts toward this achievement.

After the miniboss that comes out of the cave dies, the stage where you do this achievement starts. Immediately go to the rocks when he's at low health so you can pick one up right away. Use all movement abilities available for your class to turn in fast. You cannot carry a rock while mounted, and it's tough to mount up once you turn it in because of monsters that aggro when rocks are picked up. I was able to get 3-5 per event as a warlock with burning rush/gateway/demonic circle.

Comment by Shin167

This is really ridiciulous achievement, along with others related to The Researcher under Fire... Why you keep doing this Blizz. 15-20 ok... but 100, 50 wtf? For what? 5-10 points cmon dude like seriously?

Comment by Meemol

So I and 20 others were just kicked from a researchers under fire group as soon as we killed the rare objective before the objective to hand in 50 ores. So the leader could collect the 50 samples solo on thier own shard after they kicked everyone else off it.

Comment by GraysonCarlyle

Anyone else regularly having issues where clicking an ore sample and finishing the cast doesn't get you a rock? I'm stuck at 4/50 mostly because picking up rocks doesn't pick up rocks.

Comment by Kisses

Can I just point out how wildly unfair are druids in these kinds of achievements?

Comment by Ludicrous

The design of this event is so bad. Now that it is basically a dead event, it is hard to even get to the part where you can gather 50 curious ore samples when you are solo without the timer running out on your. Occasionally there are others or even a group, but most of the time I am just left on my own getting a white reward bag as the timer runs out long before the step needed for this achievement...

Comment by Arzoden

Easy achievement, ignore crybabies in the comments.
Usually a good chunk of people during daytime, less so at night.
I prefer to grind these at night due to smaller group sizes.

When nobody is doing these anymore in the future you will be able to kill everything fast solo so it does not matter anyway.

Sick of all these manchild dudes in the comments lmao, grow a pair.
