Confirmed this week that you can complete an old Aiding the Accord and then pick up a Last Hurrah in the same week.

Loot a secured shipment = the Fyrakk world event

Comment by mikey3103

Opened up one of these today on my MW monk and received a Ranged DPS trinket. Does this not give you loot spec items?

Comment by Cindervis

I've Tried to do the protect the researchers part of this quest five times and did not get credit. I have logged out and back in, dropped the quest and picked it up again, as well as turned off all addons. Anyone else having trouble?

Blizz Tech 1 - It's unfortunate that the Protect the Researchers Under Fire world quest has been glitched now since its release, should we fix it?

Blizz Tech 2 - Nah, in fact, lets leave it broke... and REQUIRE it as part of the final weekly quest for the current patch!

Blizz Tech 1 - EXCELLENT IDEA!

Seriously, how does this even happen?

Comment by Ollithian

Researchers Under Fire is bugged. Event doesn't start unless I'm missing something....?

Comment by gurkburk92

As of 1st May, didn't get credited &/or complete the quest.

Edit:

I figured it out. You have to complete the quest: "Six Hundred Feet Under"

That quest chain starts with "The Land Beneath"

If you don't have that quest available you need to complete the quest chain "A Creche Divided" that begins with the quest "Hidden Legacies"

Comment by AveryZan

Did not get credit for the time rift in raid. Will retest outside of it.

Update
Later the quest just completed for me after I left the time rift.

Comment by satluj

Researchers Under Fire will be in the center of Zaralek Caverns, and takes place every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour (so at 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, etc). You can see the next time it starts on the map with that battle horn symbol in the center of the Zaralek Caverns map (as well as see where it takes place). I don’t think you need to be there for the entire event or that all 12 objectives need to be cleared, just be there when it ends and any participation you did that time should qualify

Comment by sprimm1

Sorodormi is not offering one of my characters the quest, so no chance of the 480 reward without the quest.

Comment by Bigkahuna

Regarding: Researchers under Fire.
This Section of the Quest can not be completed unless you did the Zaralek Caverns Questline to a certain Point.
When a yellow Horn symbol appears on the Researcher quest Area then you know you are ready to do the Quest.

Comment by q87amanny

any 1 is bugged with on loot a secured shipment that he cant get more tha 1 key?

Comment by Exallon

To be able to get credit for the "Protect the Researchers Under Fire" you must enable World quests in the Zaralek Cavern.

This starts with "The Land Beneath".

If that is not available you also need to finish the quest line "A Creche Divided"

Comment by Khuzvhan

The researchers part doesn't count unless you pretty much played most the *!@#ing campaign. I tried looking for every single quest suggested but then there's a requirement and then another requirement, and ther ANOTHER one.

TLDR: you either played the whole $%^&ing storyline or you can't just get your weekly craft if you're a returning player in the very last season of the xpac. blizzard never fails to suprise with the stupid design.

Comment by Zannus

Thought I had the quest picked up on my alt and didn't realize it till after I looted the secured shipment, guess there is no way to complete the weekly quest now on that alt.

Comment by Hemp420

Bruh. I have no idea where to even find the beginning quest lines to unlock the caverns quest lines to finish the weekly. Even with the other commenters telling me which quest to do it's a mess combing through every quest I've done or where I'm at on a story line I started like a year ago. I wanted to come back and play, but this is so convoluted and confusing I think I'll just go do something else with my time.

Comment by Linguiniboi

do you have to complete the campaign to get these quests cause i cant seem to get and splintered sparks from any content i do and i cant see these quests either.

Comment by schnizol

my favorite part is - if u die at the end of Researchers (from npc or pvp kill) - being dead puts you out of the event zone even if you are literally there, and you won't get credit when it finishes

Comment by Dangerbook

CUrrently I have picked up my wards of Igara, opened a suffusion crucible, went and got get SOME everburning keys, then lost track of where to go to do it again. The suffusion mold (the place to unlock with your wards of Fyrakk) is at /way The Azure Span:Dragon Isle 53.86 33.84 which is a crucial unmarked step in this quest. The suffusion crucibles are all over the place and the secured shipment is marked on the map.

Comment by Dyzdaemar

Where is this quest supposed to appear on my char? It is not under "!" it is not in my quest list and progress does not show up from the quest giver... I just keep doing all of them

Comment by haunterwing

got this done on some toons way faster than others and then had protect researchers under fire glitch out half way through

Comment by Arrowgant

You can pick up this quest pre 70 but the npc for the Timerift is not there.

Comment by BouncerBear

Last Hurrah Zaraiek Caverns and Time. I really need help please. I have signed up for this quest about 30 time. Every time i get to Tyrhold Reservoir There is no one there. I can not get this quest to start. Even after choosing who I will aid this week. Every Video I have watched and everyone i have gotten info from says and shows people there when they get to thyhold reservoir. Please Please Please help me on this.

Comment by tarc

This still shows as an exclamation mark on the map, but the NPC no longer actually offers it.
