A complete Guide on how to play all Dynamic Encounters on Hoth in Star Wars the Old Republic, including all Quests, Achievements and Rewards.

Hoth Dynamic Encounters

Dynamic Encounters are repeatable, time-limited quests in Star Wars the Old Republic. Many Dynamic Encounters are combat focused while others are whimsical and involve non-combat activities such as catching baby Tauntauns or herding Banthas.

For a complete guide for Dynamic Encounters, read more here:

Dynamic Encounters last for either 30 minutes or 45 minutes, while Hidden Chain Invasions spawn for 1 hour. New Dynamic Encounters spawn every 15-30 minutes, and Dynamic Encounters repeat again every 2 hours.

There are three types of Dynamic Encounters:

Easy – Dynamic Encounters that are very easy or have no combat.
Group Shared: All players in your Group share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Dynamic Encounter. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

Hard – Dynamic Encounters that either have several steps or a Boss fight.
Encounter Shared: All players in the area share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Dynamic Encounter. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

Hidden Chain Invasion – A challenging Dynamic Encounter that last for an hour, can be completed Solo with a Healer Companion.
Encounter Shared: All players in the area share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Hidden Chain Invasion. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

For this guide, I have also broken down Dynamic Encounters into 3 different time-lengths:

Fast – Dynamic Encounters that under 2 minutes.

Medium – Dynamic Encounters that take between 2-5 minutes.

Slow – Dynamic Encounters that take 5 or more minutes to complete.

Hidden Chain Invasion

Hidden Chain Invasions are a rare Dynamic Encounter that only appear once every two hours.
The Hidden Chain Invasion Dynamic Encounter has the longest timer of any Dynamic Encounter, lasting for One Hour. You can find where the Hidden Chain Invasion is by looking for the large Invasion marker on your Map and travelling to the location.

The Hidden Chain Invasion is not hard, it takes about 5-10 minutes to complete the encounter as a Solo Player with a Healing companion.

Part One: Once you have arrived at the Location, you must:
• Kill 50 Hidden Chain enemies
• Use a Signal Beacon around the edge of the Dynamic Encounter
• Loot 20 Scrap Parts.

Part Two: Once you have completed all required tasks, go to the middle of the Dynamic Encounter area and use the computer to Summon the Hidden Chain Lieutenant. They die fairly easily but it may takes a few minutes to kill them.

Rewards: Killing the Hidden Chain Lieutenant has a small chance to reward you with a random Hidden Chain Mandalorian Armor Set piece.

Trial by Fire

A researcher studying the volcanic fissures on Hoth has requested help testing the features of an incredibly safe experimental suit.
Length: 3-5 minutes
Progress Type: Group Shared

Part One:
• Activate the L.A.V.A. Suit Near a Fissure. Stand next to a volcano until an Orange ability appears on your Temporary Ability Bar.

Part Two:
• Test the Features of the L.A.V.A. Suit. Once you are standing on the Volcano, begin clicking abilities on your Temporary Hotbar.
There are 3 actions and 4 Abilities:
Action 1: Activate – Uses an Ability
Action 2: Calibrate – Increase the accuracy of an Ability
Action 3: Charge – Increase the strength of an Ability

Ability 1: Drill – Drill the Magma to increase Depth Stacks.
Ability 2: Sensor – Scan the Magma for Data rewards.
Ability 3: Shields – Temporarily stops the Lava from hurting your character.
Ability 4: Kolto – Heals you for a percentage of your Hitpoints.

Supercharging: When you use both Charge or Calibrate on every Ability before Activating it, you may get the offer to ‘Supercharge’ or ‘Autocalibrate’ and will either provide higher quality Data rewards (Drill/Sensor) or protect your character better (Shield/Kolto).

Part Three:
• You need to use 20 functions on the Suit without dying. If at any time your hitpoints get below 10% use the emergency eject button and try again.
• If you are playing in a Group, and another player is healing you, you never need to use Shields/Kolto and can focus on only Calibrate/Charging and Activating the Drill and Sensor.
• If you have to Eject due to low hitpoints, you will lose your Depth Buff as well as all of your Charges and Calibration bonuses to ALL of your abilities.

General Strategies
• Relax and breathe, the abilities and skills you get to choose from are RNG every time you click, you can get good runs, and really bad runs.
• The deeper you drill, your depth buff increases up to 20. The deeper you have drilled, the higher chance at rare loot.
• Ideally you want to Charge AND Calibrate any ability before using it, however if you have no choice or are about to die:
It is better to Activate your Charged Kolto or Drill without Calibrating
It is better to Activate your Calibrated Sensor or Shield without Charging.

• The fire damage you take is based on how long you stand still to Drill for, and not how deep you have drilled. This means if you take a long time choosing which buff to use, you will take more damage then someone clicking buttons quickly.

• You should always do your best to Calibrate and Charge Sensors before Activating them at any Depth.
• If you plan to use the Commlink buff to maximise your rewards, you should focus on Drilling to a Depth of at least 12-14 before Activating Sensors to maximise your reward chances!
You want to always Drill as deep as possible (up to 20) before activating Sensors before your /40 ability uses are finished.
• If you do not have the Encrypted Commlink Buff item, you can generally loot one by spamming Charge, Calibrate and Activate at a depth of 8 or more during the Dynamic Encounter.
• It is better to Activate a Calibrated Sensor if you have no other choice, then a Charged one.

No Healing Required Solo Strategy: Solo players Level 71+ can obtain the Refreshed Buff from Moisture Vaporators on Tatooine in combination with eating a Dewback Steak Sandwich before starting the Dynamic Encounter to avoid taking Fire Damage.
Obtaining both Buffs before starting the Dynamic Encounter means you do not have to Calibrate, Charge or Activate Kolto or Shields.
Players level 75+ can also use the Life Warden tactical kit to gain additional protection.

Achievements Guide:

Trial by Fire has the most complex and time consuming secret achievements of any Dynamic Encounter, as all items from this encounter are Bound to Character, this means that in order to 100% Complete all Dynamic Encounter achievements, you will have to play this Dynamic Encounter on a single character, as several rare items must be collected together and are Bound-To-Character.

To accomplish many of these Achievements you will need a special item called the Encrypted Commlink Antenna that provides a special buff that changes the Dynamic Encounter.
This item allows you to complete 40 Lava Abilities (instead of 20) during the Dynamic Encounter however this means that you will need to choose between Charging and Activating the Kolto buff as a Solo player, or team up with another player who can heal you (or use their companion to heal you) so that you can focus on Drilling/Sensors.

To unlock an Encrypted Commlink, the current working strategy is that you must complete the Bonus quest during the Dynamic Encounter, as well as Calibrate, Charge then Activate the Sensor 3 times within your 20 ability uses in a single Dynamic Encounter. This is RNG and it may take several Dynamic Encounters before you unlock a Commlink.

Commlink Buff Strategies: If possible I recommend bringing another player along to Heal you or have their companion Heal you as it is tricky to stay alive long enough to complete the Dynamic Encounter with the Buff Active.

• Terrible Tremors – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Tremor data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Sensors at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Pinpoint Tremor Readings when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  
  Once you have collected 10 Pinpoint Tremor Readings (white item), right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Tremor Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Pinpoint Tremor Readings is to Drill as Deep as possible first, then Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get a Pinpoint Tremor Reading.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus on Drilling Depth first Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.
  
  
• Off The Charts – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Temperature data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Sensors at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Verified Tremor Data when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  Once you have collected 10 Verified Tremor Data, right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Temperature Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Verified Tremor Data is to Drill as Deep as possible first, then Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get Verified Tremor Data.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus Drilling Depth first then on Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.

• Magma Disturbance – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Flow Readings from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Drill at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Accurate Flow Data when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  Once you have collected 10 Accurate Flow Dataa, right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Flow Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Accurate Flow Data is to Drill as Deep as possible first, then Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get an Accurate Flow Data.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus on Drilling Depth first then Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.
  
  
  
• Beneath the Surface – Trial By Fire: Collect 1 of each Blue L.A.V.A data during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Does NOT Require Encrypted Commlink Buff but greatly recommended!
  
  Solution: You must obtain the following:
  • Obtain 1x Report on Cyclical Heat Disruption by keeping the Collated Temperature Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward.
    A Drill Depth of 12+ and Commlink is recommended as it gives you more chances to unlock the item but not necessary.
    
  • Obtain 1x Report on Disrupted Magma Flow by keeping the Collated Flow Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward.
    A Drill Depth of 12+ and Commlink is recommended as it gives you more chances to unlock the item but not necessary.
    
  • Obtain 1x Report on Unusual Tremor Patterns by keeping the Collated Tremor Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors (again) until you get the item as a reward.
    A Drill Depth of 12+ and Commlink is recommended as it gives you more chances to unlock the item but not necessary.
    
• Once you have obtained all 3 of the above on a single character, right click any one of them in your inventory to unlock the Purple-quality Synthesized L.A.V.A Report item.

Reward!

Once you Collect all 5 Reports (blue items) you will unlock the L.A.V.A. Fitted Armor Set directly in your Inventory!

The Fitted L.A.V.A. Armor Set is only obtainable once per Character.
The Fitted L.A.V.A. Armor is Bound to Legacy however it cannot be modified with stats and can only be Dyed and used as an Outfit.

• Strategy: You cannot unlock the corresponding Report unless you have the relevant Collated Data Report (Green item) in your inventory first!
  
  No Commlink: Keep the Green Collated Data in your inventory and begin the Dynamic Encounter.
  Drill for a Depth of 10 and then Calibrate/Charge and Activate Sensors as much as you can and there appears to be a low chance you will unlock a Report (blue item) that matches the Collated Data (green item) in your Inventory.
  
  Commlink Strategy: Keep the Green Collated Data in your inventory and consume a Commlink.
  Drill for Depth of 16 or higher first, then Calibrate/Charge and Activate Sensors as much as you can and there should to be a high chance you will unlock a Report (blue item) that matches the Collated Data (green item) in your Inventory.
  
  If you have all 3 Green Collated Data in your inventory, it could take multiple Dynamic Encounters to get all 3 Blue Data Reports.
  

• Auto-Calibrated! – Trial By Fire: Auto-Calibrate any of your L.A.V.A. Suit Systems during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Soloable: Yes (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Use the Calibrate Ability on the Sensors, Kolto, Drill and Shield. Then keep charging skills until the ‘Activate’ Ability is replaced by ‘Auto-Calibrate!’.
  You will know when the Auto-Calibrate Ability become available as the regular Activate Ability is replaced by a new Purple icon called ‘AutoCalibrate’!
  

• Volcanic Researcher – Trial By Fire: Collect 1 of each Accurate L.A.V.A Suit Data during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  Solution: Collect one of each Accurate Data (white item) loot report.
  This Achievement will unlock automatically when you Collate all 3 types of White-item data on a single character.
  
• Strategy: You need to collect a stack of 10 Data (white quality) of a single type. Once you have collected a stack of 10 Flow, Tremor or Temperature, right click the item to ‘Collate’ it into a Data Report (green quality).
  You should to do this for all 3 kinds of Data on a single character.
  
  
  
• Junk Science – Trial By Fire: Collect all 21 unique inaccurate Data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Spam Calibrate + Charge and Activate on the Sensors, do not Activate or Calibrate the Drill at all and you will eventually loot all 21 different innacurate Data items. May take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions to unlock.
  

• Truth Seeker – Trial By Fire: Found all 5 unique disturbance evidence from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter. This may take dozens of Dynamic Encounter completions to unlock as the quality of the data loot is RNG.
  Commlink Buff: Requires Encrypted Commlink Buff.
  
  Reward: Character Title: The Truth Seeker
  
  Solution: This is by far the most difficult Achievement and requires ‘full completion’ of the Dynamic Encounter to obtain, on one character you must:
  • Obtain 1x Report on Cyclical Heat Disruption by keeping the Collated Temperature Data (green item) in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward. The deeper your Drill Depth the more likely you are to unlock it.
    (Commlink buff not required but helpful)
    
  • Obtain 1x Report on Disrupted Magma Flow by keeping the Collated Flow Data (green item) in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward. The deeper your Drill Depth the more likely you are to unlock it.
    (Commlink buff not required but helpful)
    
  • Obtain 1x Report on Unusual Tremor Patterns by keeping the Collated Tremor Data (green item) in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward. The deeper your Drill Depth the more likely you are to unlock it.
    (Commlink buff not required but helpful)
    
  • Obtain 1x Drilling System Damage Report which can be obtained as a rare drop when your Drill Depth is at 10 or more, then by Calibrating, Charging and Activating the Sensors.
    (Commlink buff recommended)
    
  • Obtain 1x Recording of Disturbing Sounds which can be obtained as a rare drop when your Drill Depth is at 14 or more, then by Calibrating, Charging and Activating the Sensors.
    (Commlink buff recommended)
    
• Once you have obtained the rare Recording of Disturbing Sounds AND obtained all 3 Reports, the achievement will unlock.

• Maximum Depth – Trial By Fire: Drilled to the deepest possible point during a single Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Requires Encrypted Commlink Buff.
  
  Solution: You need to reach 20 stacks on your Drill buff. This cannot be easily achieved in the regular Dynamic Encounter, so the Commlink Buff is required to give you enough time to build 20 Drill depth stacks.
  Charge and Calibrating before Activating the Drill will give you extra Depth stacks.
  You can keep Charging the Drill as much as you want before Activating the Drill, but do not Calibrate the Drill more then once, as there is no benefit from Calibrating it again.

Commlink Strategy

• Hypercharged! – Trial By Fire: Hypercharge a single L.A.V.A. Suit Systems during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Solution: Use the Charge Ability on the Sensors, Kolto, Drill and Shield. Then keep Calibrating skills until the ‘Activate’ Ability is replaced by ‘Hyper-Charge!’.
  You will know when the Hyper-Charge Ability become available as the regular Activate Ability is replaced by a new Purple icon called ‘Hyper Charge’!

Talz Hidden Sniper Locations:

Achievements:
Cool Under Pressure – Use the Instant Shield buff to protect yourself from 1 Sniper shot during the Dynamic Encounter.
Shields Up! – Use the Instant Shield buff to protect yourself from 20 Sniper shots during the Dynamic Encounter.

Shields Up! Bug: This Dynamic Encounter can be very buggy. For me only the Talz Sniper behind the walker counted progress for the 20 shots in the PVP Instance and only for the first person to start the Dynamic Encounter, when other players arrive it stops working for everyone!
We can assume the Dynamic Encounter is bugged.
How to Fix: I placed a Character at the Dynamic Encounter location and picked up both crates, I ran around and tried all 3 Snipers, using the shield. It did not work for any of them.
I then logged out and waited an hour on another character for the Dynamic Encounter to start again. When it started again I logged back into my first character that tried the Dynamic Encounter, the Sniper shots then started counting up to 20.

I think you have to log out inside the area during the Dynamic Encounter, wait for it to repeat and be the FIRST person to start the Dynamic Encounter on the SAME character for it to work.
Also note that only 1 of the Snipers counted progress for me, the other two did not. Making it very buggy.

• White Maw Disruptor – Pirated Radio: Use the Long-Range Disruptor on 100 enemies during the Pirated Radio Dynamic Encounter.
  
  
• Secret Achievements:

Trial By Fire Achievements

Trial by Fire has the most complex and time consuming secret achievements of any Dynamic Encounter, as all items from this encounter are Bound to Character, this means that in order to 100% Complete all Dynamic Encounter achievements, you will have to play this Dynamic Encounter on a single character, as several rare items must be collected together and are Bound-To-Character.

To accomplish many of these Achievements you will need a special item called the Encrypted Commlink Antenna that provides a special buff that changes the Dynamic Encounter.
This item allows you to complete 40 Lava Abilities (instead of 20) during the Dynamic Encounter however this means that you will need to choose between Charging and Activating the Kolto buff as a Solo player, or team up with another player who can heal you (or use their companion to heal you) so that you can focus on Drilling/Sensors.

No Healing Required Solo Strategy: Solo players Level 71+ can obtain the Refreshed Buff from Tatooine Moisture Vaporators in combination with eating a Dewback Steak Sandwich before starting the Dynamic Encounter to avoid taking Fire Damage.
Players level 75+ can also use the Life Warden tactical kit to gain additional protection.

To unlock an Encrypted Commlink, the current working strategy is that you must complete the Bonus quest during the Dynamic Encounter, as well as Calibrate, Charge then Activate the Sensor 3 times within your 20 ability uses in a single Dynamic Encounter. This is RNG and it may take several Dynamic Encounters before you unlock a Commlink.

Commlink Buff Strategies: If possible I recommend bringing another player along to Heal you or have their companion Heal you as it is tricky to stay alive long enough to complete the Dynamic Encounter with the Buff Active.

• Terrible Tremors – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Tremor data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Sensors at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Pinpoint Tremor Readings when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  
  Once you have collected 10 Pinpoint Tremor Readings (white item), right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Tremor Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Pinpoint Tremor Readings is to Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get a Pinpoint Tremor Reading.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus on Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.
  
  
• Off The Charts – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Temperature data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Sensors at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Verified Tremor Data when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  
  Once you have collected 10 Verified Tremor Data (white item), right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Temperature Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Verified Tremor Data is to Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get Verified Tremor Data.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus on Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.

• Magma Disturbance – Trial By Fire: Collect 10 accurate Flow Readings from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: During the Dynamic Encounter, make sure to Calibrate and Charge the Drill at least once before you Activate them. There is a small chance you will be given:
  1x Accurate Flow Data when the Dynamic Encounter ends.
  
  Once you have collected 10 Accurate Flow Data (white item), right click them and the achievement will unlock, you will also be given a Green-colored Collated Flow Data item, keep this item as it is mandatory later.
  Will take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions on a single character to unlock.
  
  Strategy: The best method to farm Accurate Flow Data is to Calibrate and Charge the Sensor each time before using it. While you get double the attempts if using a Commlink buff, there is no guarantee you will get an Accurate Flow Data.
  Ignore Calibrating or Charging Kolto, Shields and Drill where possible, spend all your focus on Calibrate/Charging and Activating Sensors as much as you can.
  
  
  
• Beneath the Surface – Trial By Fire: Collect 1 of each Blue L.A.V.A data during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Requires Encrypted Commlink Buff.
  Solution: You must obtain the following:
  • Obtain 1x Report on Cyclical Heat Disruption by keeping the Collated Temperature Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward.
  • Obtain 1x Report on Disrupted Magma Flow by keeping the Collated Flow Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward.
  • Obtain 1x Report on Unusual Tremor Patterns by keeping the Collated Tremor Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors (again) until you get the item as a reward.
    

• Once you have obtained all 3 of the above on a single character, right click any one of them in your inventory to unlock the Purple-quality Synthesized L.A.V.A Report item.
  
  Strategy: Keep the Collated Data in your inventory and consume a Commlink. Calibrate/Charge then Activate Sensors as much as you can and there appears to be a small chance you will unlock one of them at a time.
  Do your best to ignore Kolto, Shields or Drilling, focus as much as you can on the Sensors.
  
  
  
• Auto-Calibrated! – Trial By Fire: Auto-Calibrate any of your L.A.V.A. Suit Systems during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Soloable: Yes (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Use the Calibrate Ability on the Sensors, Kolto, Drill and Shield. Then use the Charge Ability and the Activate Ability on any single skill.
  You will know when the Auto-Calibrate Ability become available as the regular Activate Ability is replaced by a new Purple icon called ‘AutoCalibrate’!
  
  Example: Calibrate all 4 skills then Charge and Activate Kolto.

• Volcanic Researcher – Trial By Fire: Collect 1 of each Accurate L.A.V.A Data during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Collect one of each Collated loot report.
  This Achievement will unlock automatically when you Collate all 3 types of White-item data on a single character.
  Strategy: Although it is faster to do this by playing the Dynamic Encounter on multiple characters, you are better to play one character as the items are Bound to Character and cannot be legacy transferred between characters.
  
  
  
• Junk Science – Trial By Fire: Collect all 21 unique inaccurate Data from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Only use Calibrate on the Kolto Health Pack and Lava Shield, only use Charge and Activate on the Sensors and Drill and you will eventually loot all 21 different innacurate Data items. May take multiple Dynamic Encounter completions to unlock.
  
  
  
• Truth Seeker – Trial By Fire: Found all 5 unique disturbance evidence from the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter. This may take dozens of Dynamic Encounter completions to unlock as the quality of the data loot is RNG.
  Commlink Buff: Requires Encrypted Commlink Buff.
  
  Solution: This is by far the most difficult Achievement and requires ‘full completion’ of the Dynamic Encounter to obtain, on one character you must:
  • Obtain 1x Report on Cyclical Heat Disruption by keeping the Collated Temperature Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors until you get the item as a reward.
  • Obtain 1x Report on Disrupted Magma Flow by keeping the Collated Flow Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Drill until you get the item as a reward.
  • Obtain 1x Report on Unusual Tremor Patterns by keeping the Collated Tremor Data in your inventory and Charging and Activating Sensors (again) until you get the item as a reward.
  • Once you have obtained all 3 of the above on a single character, right click any one of them in your inventory to unlock the Purple-quality Synthesized L.A.V.A Report item.
    
  • Obtain 1x Recording of Disturbing Sounds which can be obtained as a very rare drop when charging and activating the Sensors first and Drill second (Commlink buff helpful but not required – RNG applies).
    
• Once you have obtained the rare Recording of Disturbing Sounds AND transformed all 3 Reports into the Synthesized LAVA Report, the achievement will unlock.

• Maximum Depth – Trial By Fire: Drilled to the deepest possible point during a single Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Requires Encrypted Commlink Buff for safety.
  
  Solution: You need to reach 20 stacks on your Drill buff before you use the Activate ability. This cannot be achieved in the regular Dynamic Encounter as the Commlink Buff is required to give you enough time to build 20 Drill depth stacks.
  Charge and Calibrate the Drill over and over until your Drill buff reaches 20, activate the Drill and the achievement will appear!

Commlink Strategy

• Hypercharged! – Trial By Fire: Hypercharge a single L.A.V.A. Suit Systems during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter.
  Commlink Buff: Solo-able (does not require Commlink)
  
  Solution: Use the Charge Ability on the Sensors, Kolto, Drill and Shield. Then use the Calibrate Ability and the Activate Ability on any single skill.
  You will know when the Hypercharge Ability become available as the regular Activate Ability is replaced by a new Purple icon called ‘Hypercharge’!
  Example: Charge all 4 skills then Calibrate and Activate Kolto.

• Gentle Hands – Fur, Fur Away: Collect all 3 types of Icetromper Fur without getting kicked.
• Ice Trampled – Fur, Fur Away: Get kicked by all 3 types of Icetromper Fur while collecting Fur.
  Strategy for Both: Watch other players get kicked or collect Fur from both Groups. Whichever Ice Tromper kicks, go to the other group to collect fur.
  Or whichever Ice Tromper gives fur, go to the other group to get kicked.
  
  
• Expert Mountaineer – Snow Capped Delicacies: Use 100 Grapple points during the Snow Capped Delicacies Dynamic Encounter.
• Bloom With a View – Snow Capped Delicacies: Complete the Dynamic Encounter without ever taking exhaustion zone damage or having the Snow Cap buff expire.

• Impulsive Eater – Ice Fishing: Eat a rare Fissure Sleeper Fish without cooking it, you need to let the debuff kill you.
  Loot the rare Fissure Sleeper during the Dynamic Encounter and then right-click on it in your inventory.

  Note: The Gargantuan Fissure Sleeper only spawns as LOOT from the Gold-difficulty Ice Cats that spawn when you are ice fishing.

Icefall Plains

• Cool Under Pressure – Snipers!: Use the Instant Shield buff to protect yourself from 1 Sniper shot during the Dynamic Encounter.
• Shields Up! – Snipers!: Use the Instant Shield buff to protect yourself from 20 Sniper shots during the Dynamic Encounter.
  
  Shields Up! Bug: This Dynamic Encounter can be very buggy. For me only the Talz Sniper behind the walker counted progress for the 20 shots in the PVP Instance and only for the first person to start the Dynamic Encounter, when other players arrive it stops working for everyone!
  We can assume the Dynamic Encounter is bugged.
  How to Fix: I placed a Character at the Dynamic Encounter location and picked up both crates, I ran around and tried all 3 Snipers, using the shield. It did not work for any of them.
  I then logged out and waited an hour on another character for the Dynamic Encounter to start again. When it started again I logged back into my first character that tried the Dynamic Encounter, the Sniper shots then started counting up to 20.
  
  I think you have to log out inside the area during the Dynamic Encounter, wait for it to repeat and be the FIRST person to start the Dynamic Encounter on the SAME character for it to work.
  Also note that only 1 of the Snipers counted progress for me, the other two did not. Making it very buggy.
