Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand what specifically I need to do to get this achievement. I went to one of Scarlet’s invasions and got 3/5 on this achievement. No guides I’ve seen have clarified this. Does anyone understand this?

Is this when you interact with the orange gear icon?

Apparently you’ll loot portal components randomly during invasions, which look like non-sellable heart quest/event trash. If you loot all three of them you can combine them to finish the meta. I only trashed the first two I looted because it has no description so there is no way of knowing that they are part of the event…

Dulfy explains what needs to be done fairly well. http://dulfy.net/2013/08/20/gw2-clockwork-chaos-invasions-and-achievements-guide/

Um, have you read this guide? I have explained it step by step.

I apologize for sounding dense, but I have been trying to research this, as well as reading Dulfy’s guides. I appreciate you all taking the time to help.

I think there’s a disconnect between what I thought Vorpp was saying to me and what I’ve been reading. I thought the Field Assistant achievement was counting “scans” of portals.

1. I’ve completed the witness one.
2. I’ve completed the responder one.
3. The field assistant one is a meta accumulation? 3/5
4. I have closed 1/5 portal invasions, so this one is not complete.
5. The last one is locked for now.

I just don’t see how I could be getting 3/5 if Field Assistant is a total of achievements.
