World boss gives 50 (EDIT: but apparently not in a raid group?)
Queue follower dungeons (Stonevault), leave after first boss and requeue.

This can be completed very quickly by swimming around Siren's Isle and looting the Seafarer's Caches in the water. Took me around 12 minutes with the Blessing of the Seadweller swim speed buff.

Description

We're still processing the data in the Archive and restoring what we can. But... the discs we've recovered so far in the Archive itself are unusable. Finding more of these discs are a priority. We must reclaim our memories. Return what you find to Dagran. He is assisting me in rebuilding the Archive.

I am pleased to report progress has been made restoring the titan Vault of Memory in the Archive. I have the mainframe up and running--but part of its internal mechanism has failed over time. Getting parts for it will be a challenge, which is why we need your help.
