Urge to Surge is a quest for level 80 in Undermine. The quest's turn-in marker is in Undermine at 43.8, 50.8.
Occasionally we get more jobs than we can handle. You know what that means-- big money. Help out during some Surge Pricing and we'll see to it that you're thanked for your help.

I hope this will be different when Patch 11.1 is launched, but during PTR testing it was not very obvious how to complete this Weekly.
While you can do Shipping & Handling jobs (getting random delivery and other jobs from [npc=227210] in Undermine) whenever you start them with the [spell=455055] button in your [spell=460013], "Surge Pricing" will only be active for 10 minutes every hour at the half-hour. During that time frame, you will get improved rewards for S&H jobs, and all jobs completed by players will count towards a progress bar on top of your screen.
At certain thresholds ( 10 | 50 | 150 ) on the bar, players who have at least completed one job on the way to the next threshold will receive a reward container, and getting one of these Surge Pricing rewards ( [item=236756] | [item=236757] | [item=236758] ) was required to get credit for this Weekly Quest. The bar will be reset for the next hour. (But I don't know when exactly because several times people continued with jobs when the bar was gone, and it still counted hiddenly and gave me the next reward.)
The weekly quest is so poorly designed. You only get credit if you completed a job AND get a box for it. I was in the middle of doing the last epic one and suddenly the event disappeared and no credit for weekly. My suggestion would be something like complete 3 jobs during surge. Receiving credit only when you are in the event at a certain time when the box treshold is completed is just stupid.
If you're wondering why you can't complete this quest during a surge pricing event, it's because you cannot get credit if you have not earned a chest during the event even if you've actively participated in it.
Also, the event does not consider that you have participated unless you complete at least 1 task before a chest is awarded. Which means if you're late to the event and the first 2 chests have already been awarded, you have zero chance of being able to complete this quest since not enough people participate in the event anymore to fill the bar all the way to the 3rd chest reward. This is due to the brain-dead folks over at Blizz HQ not scaling the event to the number of players participating in it. A mistake Blizz repeatedly make for all open world events.
We've also been unable to pickup any packages during surge pricing for weeks due to a bug. Did blizz just completely abandon the Undermine or what?Edit: Looks like they've finally fixed the no pickup package bug. So that's nice.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
