To complete this achivm we need the Courier Mission: Ore Recovery world quest. That WQ by itself is spawning extremely rarely.
On top of that there are issues with the NPCs not appearing and bugs preventing you from donating ore. Currently you have to realm hop and pray you are able to donate ore…
Can you make this achivm a bit easier to obtain?
Seconding this. Today is quite literally the second time this WQ has ever been up, which is bad enough…but the massive wait time between being able to donate ore to the npc’s makes this cheev way harder than I’m certain it was intended to be.
At least allowing donations even if the machine is fixed already would be a huge help.
Keeping the thread going. Can make no progress while world quest is up, the NPC Reclamation Machinist says contributions are already made.

Completely undoable until Blizzard allows players to contribute even if a contraption is completed.
Mobs everywhere, very hard to find an empty server, can’t use mount, sometimes the contraptions are invisible… what a nightmare.
The World Quest having only been available twice in 6 weeks is also not an advantage.
I waited around 30min next to one of the NPCs but it never allowed me to turn the ore… so i gave up. Hope they fix this WQ and achivm one day.
Still not fixed.
World quest is up again, this time you can see the machines but they break every TWO hours… With its current design this achivm will take months to complete
This is unfortunately how it was already working if you were able to find a shard where they were usable the last time it was up.
They just need to make it so that the machines accept donations even while active and it will solve the major issue here.
WQ is up again, so it’s time to bump this up again. With 4 Reclamation Machinists, and each only accepting 20 ores once every 2 hours (or 12 times per day), the number of daily contributions caps out at 4 x 12 x 20 = 960 per shard. With the WQ being up for about 3 days, that’s at most 40 or so people who can get the achievement each time it is up, and that’s assuming perfect 24-hour rotation on the machinists. In practice, it’s not 40, it’s got to be way fewer, because it’s unlikely that the same person is going to be able to make multiple donations during the same WQ cycle.
WQ is up for like the 3rd time ever, (already a problem). Still need this achievement to be fixed.
Agreed. I got lucky and snagged 30 credits because there were two unfinished in a shard I happened to drop in on, but it was right after reset so people can’t really expect that. The duration of the devices is way too long, or they should allow contributions to extend the timer after construction.
This achievement is incredibly poorly designed. We are suppose to stick around for days on end fighting over donating ores to 4 machines that last for 2 hours, yet we can’t donate if they are already active? If it was 10 minutes, whatever. But 2 hours and fighting with 187 people is ridiculous beyond measure.
Yes, please fix this to allow donations even when active, or deactivate them after 5-10 mins, not 2 hours…
This achievement is still borderline impossible… why its still not changed?
