Before you start this quest, you must complete the campaign story of Khaz Algar. After that, you’ll have the option to start The War Within campaign, which has five chapters in total. Since We Require More Minerals is part of the fourth chapter, you need to complete the previous three. Once you start the fourth chapter, you need to do the following eight quests:

  • A Mysterious Signal
  • Small Friend, Big Plans
  • Factory Recon
  • Back to Base
  • A Plan Comes Together
  • To the Waterworks
  • Putting the Works in Waterworks
  • Shadowvein Extraction

All quests are straightforward and easy to complete, as they mostly require you to talk to NPCs, fight a couple of monsters, and gather intel. To start We Require More Minerals, make your way to the Shadowvein Extraction factory in The Ringing Deeps zone, and talk to Dagran Thaurissan, at coordinates 55.65, 41.05.

First, you need to open the correct valves of the pipes in the factory. The pipe pattern is: Top, Bottom, Middle, Bottom, and Top. Once you do that, go outside and cleanse five Infested Crushers with the little robot, Zee-Zee. Every Infested Crusher spawns Infested Discharge monsters that you need to defeat. After that, just hand in the quest to Zee-Zee, and you’re done.
