You will also need 50 [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inscribed_Shard Inscribed Shards] for the final step.

Some of the events required for these collections are <span style="color:red">group events</span>. Don't be afraid to ask for help in map chat (and tag up if you can), as there will usually be willing players around.


==High Roller==
After speaking to [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spearmarshal_Zaeim Spearmarshal Zaeim], head over to [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gorrik Gorrik] at the north end of the [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Allied_Encampment Allied Encampment].

==Beetle Juice==
This collection involves finding nine items from [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Secret_Cache Secret Caches] around the map.

==Beetle Saddle==
Next, you must find seven items to craft a beetle saddle for [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Petey Petey]. These items may be obtained in any order.

Two (potentially four) of these items can be obtained in [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dabiji_Hollows Dabiji Hollows]. Consider checking the Bounty Board first for maximum efficiency:

;1. Inquest Beetle Notes

;2. Inquest Power Schematics

If [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cabochon Cabochon] is available, this can also be completed in Dabiji Hollows!

The remaining items are found in core Tyria:

;5. Steam Power Coupling

;6. Hearty Beetle Slime

==Roller Beetle Racing==

Although you can hire a Roller Beetle, and therefore complete these achievements before unlocking one yourself, the [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Roller_Beetle_Racing Roller Beetle Racing] achievement category (found within the '''Side Stories''' section) may now be of interest.
