This is probably the WORST design I’ve ever seen. Basically, to open the ‘Seething Chest’ you have to collect three ‘Seething Orbs’ around the Zaqali Caldera area, then it lets you open the chest. It gives you a debuff for one hour and resets each time you get an orb. The orbs take around an hour to spawn. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? Wrong.
Say you have 2/3 progress on the orbs and someone else in the zone opens the chest. Your entire progress starts over. This is absolutely awful game design. Fix this immediately so it’s personal progress.

Is this a WM thing? I’ve seen no seething chest.
This needed another thread for the same complaint.
So, I’ll ask – why does everyone feel the need to complete the meta-achievement the first week the zone is open?
In retrospect, making the change to reset zone-wide progress is beyond idiotic, but then again so are a lot of their changes. My best advice would be to wait a week or two, interest will die down and/or most players will be busy w/ dungeons to just fly around ZC all day.
This won’t make you feel any better but at least the name is applicable

No, it’s for the Treasures of Zaralek Caverns achievement. The chest will not even be visible without all three orbs. It can be found in WM/non-WM I am assuming.
Make time early morning one day when no one’s on
This is the kind of hyperbole that’s nonsensical. I want to complete the achievement because… I want to? That’s a good enough reason and very valid.
I looted all the one time chests that were marked by TomCat’s Tours, so Idk if I looted this one or not.

You would’ve have gotten the Seething Slug mount and the achievement for all the chests in the zone if you did.
Have fun chasing that last orb.
I get wanting an achievement, but is it really that big of a deal if you can’t get it NOW?
I’ll just wait to open it if or when they make it not a competition.
The point of my post was to showcase this awful game design, not me attempting to complete this achievement today.

Most people after this chest are doing it for the mount it contains, not the meta achievement which isn’t even remotely obtainable in the first week.
It’s for a mount, plus it’s not like there is a lot to do in the new zone… People are looking for things to do. That’s a lack of content issue.

best way to do it is find a group or raid that has a finding
get three leave the group. pray you make it in time on the right shard. profit
Nope, definitely not an hour respawn. I know there is a zone wide announcement when they respawn…but it’s NOT an hour. How do I know? I’ve been sitting here for the past 3 hours =(

I was able to get this done a few weeks ago. Switched to war mode and there they were. 3 orbs within a 2-3 minutes of each other, and right in the middle of the day too.
I imagine this will be even easier right now with all the hardcore players doing ‘Plunderfest’ renown right now.
Got mine Friday afternoon with a shard hop.
-take a lap around your shard. If you see any you know the event is active even if you don’t hear the trigger.
-if not, join one of the WQ cross server and use it to shard hop. Take a lap.
Side note, the treasure hunter achieves should have some wiggle room, like any 5 instead of all.

Took maybe 15 mins to find all 3 using the waypoints from Wowhead. Just went down and flew around to each point.
