A Farewell to Arms (Achievement)

Community General Discussion

I’m just curious for a typical player, how long will this achievement take? I’m thinking 6 months or so which is not bad. What do you think?

Minimum? 3 months without optimization, and that’s if RNG was 100% in your favor. The longest achievements are Undersea Usurper, followed by Mecha-done. I’m lucky enough to have already completed the horrific visions and horrific assaults; along with most of the island and warfront achieves. What sucks is the number of achievements solely reliant on RNG (like the Puzzle Master achievement or even Rest in Piston, which has a couple rares that require specific dailies to be up), along with the longest time gated achieve, Aqua Team Murder Force (my recommendation, have three chars parked in Naz to each do one of the fish boys for the ~30 days it takes to level them).

TLDR: waaaaaaayyy too long.

I’d recommend keeping an alliance alt for fast travel to mechagon. :robot::rightwards_hand: :coin: :coin:

I’m pretty sure that only takes you to Mechagon city, which doesn’t exit out onto the island proper since it’s just a copy of the end of the dungeon space?

Depending on rng Mecha-Done alone could take anywhere between 1-6months lol I got most of it done in bfa been working on it again for a month still not done cause rng

There’s a portal on the other end of mechagon city before you have to run into the tunnel, it ports you to the Rustbolt town. :world_map::robot:

edit: Funny enough is the horde can use the portal from the Rustbolt town too. :robot::sweat_drops:

This achievement should remove your character’s arms.

I’m stuck on the Warfronts, the queue never pops. I didnt play BFA either. I have a lot of the other stuff done including Mechadone and Undersea Usurper.

The alternative is the seasonal pvp gear. :robot::sweat_drops:

Uh, I feel like there’s a decent chance bits of this meta get nerfed again.

To get in, you’ll want at least 5 people queueing. Best bet is asking friends (or hold ppl hostage at gunpoint) to party up with you then queue. Once it pops they don’t have to stick around

Oh man I hope so; there’s still a couple achievements that should NOT be a thing (Aqua team and puzzle performer, I’m looking at you.)

Yeah, us revisiting old achievements does have them tuning them. Finally. After years. Like, they removed the 50 pvp wins from the islands one but really should’ve just made it a brawl.

Also yooooo Blizzard why is glad, 2700, hero, etc, still an achi and not a fos

Thank you all for the feedback. I got most of the achievement done including Mecha Done. I took a look at what I needed to do and it seems most of my time will be spent on Undersea Usurper because I remember not spending a lot of time in Nazjatar. I still need to do some visions, but it should be straight forwarded. This will be a fun and entertaining project to do over the coming months. There are lots of hidden mounts in this achievement. Looking forward to doing it.
