GW2 Southsun Sample collection guide for the Southsun Volunteer Fieldwork achievement released as part of Secrets of Southsun patch.
To start this achievement, you will need to talk to Researcher Levvi in Scoured Plains. She will hand you a Sample Detector that you can use repeatedly to scan for these samples in the various areas. There are 11 samples but you only need to to scan 10 samples for the Southsun Volunteer Fieldwork achievement (however, get all 11 if you want the Southsun Stalwart achievement).
Remember, to scan a sample, you must press 1 near the vicinity of it to reveal it and then press 2 when you next to it to scan it. The sample looks like a big yellow flower.
The sample detector is in your inventory so don’t go to Levvi and ask for another one because you don’t need it!
The achievement rewards a very nice looking backpiece (scroll down to the bottom to see pictures).

You get this nice looking backpack when you complete the Southsun Volunteer Fieldwork achievement by scanning 10 locations. It is called Fervid Censer (rare, account bound). It has bees swarming around it so it is quite neat.

I’m desperatly looking for Canach, cant find the damn guy anywhere, so frustrating since I hleped most of my server get the samples before your guide \^\^’
narg
every important npc have own name, so its not difficult to find them, and all are in safe camps
narg
(sry wrong post)
Dulfy
Hmm don’t think Canach is available yet. Remember, they said not all the achievements can be completed this round.

You do not need all 11 samples to get Stalwart title. I have still to get the JP sample and have the Southsun Stalwart title and exotic back pack
Dulfy
You don’t but since the JP achievement is really easy when you have a mesmer port you it is good to have it for the stalwart achievement.

Really happy this is Account Bound!
niwaar
It actually sucks its Account Bound. I wish this had been something I could obtain for multiple characters on my account. It being account bound forces you to never give it any “real” stats if you ever want to use it on another character.
Kejoca
I too wish this item could be received multiple times. I have at least two characters that look amazing with it. Luckily, they both use similar stats, so trading the item is just an inconvenience.
