Missions are open-ended - can be repeated several times without being retaken, and only end on abandon or relog. Items acquired through missions can be upgraded (in batches of x number of items), with a certain chance of 50% item loss if the upgrade fails. Some occupations seem to have items which can remove the risk of item loss onm upgrade failure - the anti-loss items are procured through other occupations.
Additional Almati TPs can be obtained by retaking the first mission.
Note: CSRs and devs are currently working on a bug regarding plant spawns in the kitin lair. If you can't find your plant, it's probably not your fault. ;) - Bug fixed.
