Achievement Pursuit: Calavera

I know its a silly achievement with no reward but the points, but really who doesn't like getting to beat up their friends with this?


Quick Facts:

The old method of getting the achievements (AKA fighting in instance) no longer works.

Your suppose to be able to continue to get these points even after Day of the Dead is over.

You must duel for this to count.

You both must have the buff.

Im not waiting till next year to post this because it might get "Fixed" again before then and my info be wrong!  D:





So, the old method was to go into a instance with a nearby graveyard and beat each other senseless.  You could even have multiple people attacked for quicker counts.


This stopped working once the costume became a toy.

PS, these are now toys and count towards the collection achievements!




Current method (As of 2015)


Two players put on costumes and duke it out in a duel.  Loser loses the costume while winner stays in theirs.


Best way to do this is to get a group of 10+ people and pick a "fighter."  That person will go around dueling the others till their buff falls off.  At this point the fighter will join ranks and be attacked by another person.  You just go on and on till everyone has it.  If you do this on Day of the Dead you should have no issue except with keeping people in AFTER their achievement. 

Just remember you have to /duel and both be in costume.  If everyone takes off their armor or uses lower level players it'll go faster.  DKs with the Talent Purgatory will count as two kills since you can hit them again.


Why 10+?  Because ideally you'll need atleast 15 seconds average per person (if their at max) to knock them down with 2 minutes on the costume.  This will take roughly 3 or so minutes if everything is "perfect" but were going to say you have a few that aren't cap and that someone gets REALLY lucky and just gets to sweep kick over and over which will reduce the time.  Assuming its not perfect, but average, that gives the start of the circle time to rebuff and be ready without ever stopping.

I suppose you could do it about 5 if each person have more then one costume to keep them applied in the shortest amount of time.




If you cant have that big a group, then you can just trade kills with a friend.  I suggest you both be DKs with Purgatory and make life easier with a 2 kill spree.  You'll still be stuck waiting on costume cooldowns so why not speed it up where ya can?



I hope this will help a few of you.  To be honest, I have a cruddy flu that I can shake so I just needed a quick post.  But someone out there can put this to use and to them I hope they enjoy!
