Ok, I’ve really done some searching online and have found the following:
- You must have done the D.R.I.V.E. quest and get the car.
- You need to be in the car and do jobs when it is active.
- If you cancel a job it resets to the beginning…don’t do that.
- Open Map, use Tab at right, and the Event always starts every hour on the half hour mark.
So, I wait for event, I’m not in any party, and I get in the car and do jobs when it is active. I’ve got the quest and I’m NOT receiving credit.
Yeah, I see that meter at the top, and I saw the hotfix where it went from 250 down to 150 and there are chests. Do those automatically get put in your inventory or something? I never seem to get them, or do you go to the Surge Pricing/Garage marker on the map to loot one?
What am I doing wrong? Anyone else find it confusing as hell? Or is it just me?

Idk, I think it was bugged for a while. And the undercooked(this is what i call the new patch) area is so buggy and laggy and some people were saying it wasnt giving credit.

I figured it out.
The solution was to be in the car and start the jobs seconds after the event was active.
I then received credit, got the chests, and completed the weekly as a result.
Apparrently, if you start late into the Surge Pricing event, you simply don’t get credit.
At least I didn’t if I started late.

It likely just super buggy or its got a hidden participation bar attatched to it, like how the superbloom required you get 50 plants or whatever to actually get the reward to prevent people afk farming the event.
First time i did it i joined with only a minute left, managed to do 1 job, and didnt get any rewards.
Next time i was still late, about halfway through, but managed to get 4 jobs done and was rewarded the box.

Essentially you’d need it to hit either the green/blue/purple box while you’re doing jobs for it to credit.
I missed out twice because I was too late for the first box and I was on at a dead time for OCE so it didn’t hit the second box.
I have never received the 645 ilvel chest that Wowhead said. I dont know why.

They need to make this event doable in a raid… not just to help now, but later in the patch it’s going to be impossible for people to get the epic boxes if they can only do it on their own server with whoever else happens to be around.
Me either didnt even know it dropped that lol
It’s not a 645 chest.
Your first 2 Pinnacle chests for the week will be a 623, which can be upgraded to 645.
