Ah yes, I'd forgotten that requirement! Those achievements are
accountwide, if you have an alt high enough lvl to build a salvage
yard as well, but if you don't, doesn't matter, just get to it when
you can :-) At the very least, it's a good motivator to do missions
you don't otherwise need anything from, as you can still get crates
from them.

>Another thing I haven't been able to trigger is a garrison invasion. Is this just another thing that will trigger once I've worked through something else?

Invasions are a total pain. They trigger when you've killed a LOT of
mobs in the lvl 100 areas, but not including Tanaan. I found the best
way to trigger them was to bother doing the daily from the town hall
each day (even though Tanaan is a far better source of Apexis these
days), because completing the daily gives a chunk of credit towards an
invasion. 

They appear to work like a hidden version of the reputation system,
where each mob you kill gives "rep" and completing a daily gives a big
chunk of "rep", and when you reach the hidden trigger amount of "rep",
an invasion happens. That resets you down to 0 "rep" and you can
repeat the process. There's multiple "factions" of invasions,
different areas give credit with different "factions" and you can
easily trigger multiple invasions at once if you're quite active in
many areas. But now Tanaan exists, none of us really have any reason
to do the lesser zones, so invasions are very limited. I'm suspecting
I'll never get the achievement for completing 50 of them...
