Given the roach icon, this is probably a reference to ''Raid'' the bug spray.

ZJPV1의 댓글

Reference to 3 other unrelated achievements:
공격 준비 완료
공격 준비 완료 II
공격 준비 완료 III

While all three of those involved basic "raid awareness" checks done in the open world/dungeons, such as staying out of fire, or testing survivability, this one is more menial, killing roaches, referring to the classic exclamation of "RAID!" in RAID bug spray commercials.

On the PTR, you can get credit for killing 이갈룩 바퀴 by simply running or riding mounted over them.

They are located all around Ihgaluk Crag, so be careful you don't run over one and have your timer accidentally start.

It seems the best way to do this is to get 사우록의 거죽 from daily quests, so you can run/leap around and step on the roaches while remaining neutral with all the NPCs in the area. Also be sure to group up for shared credit.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

Wow....nice achievement title.
In German it's just "Survive this!" (Überleb das!) ;(

Seems this is partly up to RNG. Large groups of roaches will spawn here and there but between other players and the time between spawns not to mention distance, don't count on getting this done until most folk have moved on from here.

DevilesDog의 댓글

A very easy way to get this achievement is to group up. Since it's group-contribute anyone in your party that steps on roaches counts towards your progress and vice-versa.

Dragomir의 댓글

This achievement may seem impossible at first, but I can confirm that, assuming you're within a reasonable range (don't know exact yardage), credit for roaches crushed counts across party/raid. I did this achieve with about 20 people. Just have everyone stack up and start crushing at the same time. Run in all different directions, crushing all roaches. Continue crushing until the 1 minute timer is up, because even if you may have gotten credit, your raid members might not have been so lucky. 90% or more of us got the achievement on our first try.

In short:
1. Form raid, as large as possible.
2. Stack up in the middle of Ihgaluk Crag, have the achievement tracked and wait for timer to reset.
3. When timer resets, raid warning for everyone for run in different directions and crush roaches.
4. Keep crushing for the full minute, don't stop when you get your achieve.

If your guild hasn't gotten Critter Kill Squad yet, this would be a good place to work on it. Best hurry before it's deemed game-breaking and earns a hotfix.

Furydeath의 댓글

There's no way you can do this solo, not with all the other people running around and what not.

kesnophics의 댓글

If it's not possible for you to do this in a group you'll have to go solo, and this pretty much means at night.

What you should do is to scout ahead all the spawn points and mark the already spawned piles with raid marks.

Then just think about the best route to run through them. One spawn usually has around 20-30 roaches, so you'll need around 8 piles. These can be easily found around the area that Kroshik (the big dino) patrols.

If you can't see enough roach piles close to each other just wait for them to respawn.

Needless to say that when you are running from another pile to the next try to jump as much as possible, as this increases your speed when you have the Skin of the Saurok on. Don't bother with the single roaches on the ground.

Probably the easiest way to do this is with a friend during the night with the raid marks up.

I was having a lot of trouble with this achievement. There were always too many people in the area doing dailies and randomly squashing the piles of bugs.

I got it by waiting on a random server restart. The second the server came up I logged in and just made a loop around the pit and there were piles of bugs everywhere. Was able to get with about 15 seconds left to spare.

Pinkiepieisfly의 댓글

It's not currently listed, but is this achievement account-wide? Some of us play on seemingly dead servers, so it'd be nice if I could log in elsewhere and get this achievement with a big group. Thanks :)

DarthAvion의 댓글

LOL I tried a bunch of times to get this done alone. Now I'll try in group.

btw in Italian this is called "Qualcuno ha chiamato la disinfestazione?" -> "Somebody call for an exterminator?", the line said by Starcraft ghosts upon training.

Achieved this with a full 40 men raid group in under 25 seconds.

More people you find it is easier to get. This is one of those type of achievements which it is easier to do when you do it on time.

blasphemous9의 댓글

I am just venting because this achievement is pissing me off so bad.. Even with NO OTHER PLAYERS I was still having issues. I scouted out for about 30-45 minutes until there were a ton of piles. The entire time there was nobody else anywhere and the piles all stayed. Despite all this (and mind you I've attempted it this way late late at night and several times), I cannot get it. My best scores were around 165 each time. The timer needs ten more seconds or they roach piles need to spawn faster.

And forget about people grouping up. I spam the hell out of general chat looking for people and no one is interested. What the hell am I doing wrong?

krodys의 댓글

After trying to get this achievement throughout the week, late at night or early in the morning, I kept coming up short.

By far the easiest way to get this achievement done is to wait for a server restart, and make sure you are standing by the Malfunctioning Silver Covenant Construct (46.59, 71.97). When the server comes back up, all of the large spawn points for the roaches will be up. Simply make a quick loop around the bonfire you start by, go up the path to the large area where Kroshik roams around the filth pool, and you should be done with an easy 20 seconds left on your timer.

This method works great if you just can not get a group together to do this achievement. Getting a group together is a lot easier, and as it has already been stated, you get credit for this while in a raid group. Another simple reminder is to be sure to track this quest in your quest log for the easy timer and how many you have stepped on already, because as soon as you step on one it starts the timer.

TL;DR Server restarts are great for soloing this one.

akumaxx의 댓글

Though you cannot target these roaches, it's possible to kill them with standard AOE or Hunter's Multi-shot (a normal target around is required).

If your guild doesn't have critter kill squad or crittergeddon just yet, killing these roaches is a great way of upping the kill count.

Murderr의 댓글

Achievement can be soloed!
1.low-med populated realm
2.before trying kill every pack of roaches for new spawns(when packs respawned go to #4)
3.take Zandalari Potion with this buff 재규어의 속도
4.run back and you have 40-50sec to do it with 350% runspeed.

Kvasi의 댓글

Currently bugged. This is what a GM told me when one in the group got the achievement and others didn't:
"There is actually a known issue with this and hopefully this will be fixed in the near future. I'm sorry but you will need too gather a group and head out there once again."

pauladin의 댓글

Running over a roach sideways will not squash it.

For WASD players like myself, strafing is something you'll have to avoid for the duration of your attempts.

A bonus of being able to walk over roaches without crushing them, is that you can mark the center of swarm spawn points by standing in them.

Mendric의 댓글

Solo'd this today with plenty of time to spare surprisingly.

I tried many times and failed so tried what others said about server restarts. After wow'ing last night I parked my toon up on some rocks near a pile of roaches. Up out of the way because when you log in, you're not instantly mutated and don't want aggro and have someone else take your bugs. Before you park yourself for the night, be sure to take some time to scout the areas of infestation (where the bugs are) and get your route.

I finished with 22 seconds still left and 3 piles of roaches still in my sight. Server restart is key and being the one to log in first in that area is also quite crucial of course.

GL all.

Berronaxwins의 댓글

The respawn timer on these roaches is far to slow to make doing this solo possible..

Casual people walking in to do there quests completely ruin the achievement unintentionally for me.. quite annoying

If you use cat form (as a druid of course) before you get shapeshifted you keep the speed boost, and you keep dash, but you do not keep stampeding roar or travel form.

Is anyone else having an issue where you don't get credit for any bug kills at all? It worked fine for me up till 5.3 and then stopped giving me credit after that.

Just solo'd it with my shaman in a low rep realm.
After severals tries i found a route that worked for me.
I started from the east entrance of the area and i followed the path till the center and did the circle counter clockwise.

whats the spawn time of the roaches I am on a dead server and still having trouble getting this but have yet to try after a server shutdown cause it comes up at like 4am Sydney time most times

Sharyeth의 댓글

There is no need to wait for a server restart.

What you just have to do is to smash the surviving cockroaches where the big spawns are/should be. That's the reason why it takes ages for them to respawn.

Just do it while almost nobody is online and then wait about 10 Minutes for them to respawn. It took me 1 Minute to kill 200 of them. And i was alone.

When everything respawned, start at the east entrance where the Malfunctioning Sunreaver Construct is.

Good luck.

ok so its 6 months after the patch chances are that everyone who cares about getting this achieve has gotten it already and even on a high population server it may be hard to find help and even on a low pop server it could be difficult to get this achieve at least without serious effort i would say at this point the easiest way to get this achieve is to wait for a server restart just circling the pond should give you more then enough cockroaches for the achieve then again if your if you do not want to wait you can always try your luck doing it the normal way

OrioneYous의 댓글

Guide to solo:
1.) Go to the South East entrance near the campfire with the broken sentry.
2.) Kill EVERY ROACH from the campfire area following the road up and to the left, and circling the lake on the left side. This is crucial to respawning the entire group of the roaches.
3.) Head back to the campfire area you started at.
4.) Wait ~5 minutes for the very large pack to respawn. It should hit all of the areas you knocked out earlier.
5.) Repeat your previous path. I finished this solo with 30 seconds left on one of the highest population servers there is.

Done solo at 02:12 AM at a medium populated realm.

1. Started at the malfunctioning sunreaver and killed 3 packs of roaches.
2. Jumped up the stair and killed 3 packs at the west bank of the "lake".
3. Jumped over the river and killed 2 packs
4. Ran down the eastern stair and got the achievment with 3 seconds to spare.

Respawn times are pretty fast.

LexDozel의 댓글

I just did this achievement solo early in the morning. There was a paladin in the area but he was not actively going for roaches.

You do not need any outside buffs for this route.

Start at approximately 48, 70. This is where the Malfunctioning Sunreaver Construct is next to the bonfire. There needs to be three piles of roaches here, otherwise you'll have a hard time otherwise. Crush these groups and head Southwest deeper into the Crag.

In the next section, there are two piles of roaches. Crush the pile on the right first, which leads to another path; then turn around and crush the left pile. From here, start jumping up the pathway, only stopping to hit any piles you see. (I hit one - sometimes there are two here, but I got the achievement with only one here.)

As soon as the path opens up, you want to travel to the left of the big lake. (This is going directly East if you are looking at your minimap.) Jump forward after you crush a pile and you should basically land in another pile back to back. If you do this right, you'll have the achievement. I got it done in 56 seconds, and I was running after individual roaches, which is unnecessary if it slows you down.

Some of the comments here should replicate similar strats - I'm reposting it because some things were a little confusing and a bit vague as to what to expect, at least for me. This is the path that ultimately got me the achievement. It helps to follow the above the first time through with the intention of crushing every roach because this will make sure that they're all respawned together. The piles respawn in about ~5 minutes, but I waited ~10 just to be sure.

pattylynn의 댓글

For anyone else having trouble, for 2 days i never saw the 3 piles of roaches at the start (46, 70) by the construct. Even after the weekly restart. so i killed everything in the area, every lil bug. (commented by someone else, if you dont kill them all it takes forever for the pack to respawn if you dont) After about 10min i finally saw the 3 packs and new i was golden. I went up the hill staying on the main path to the left (staying to the left of the pool) and got my 200 by the end of said pool. There were a lot of groups about every few yards. Good luck!

IMissThottbot의 댓글

It would seem that there are generally a limited number of cockroach "groups" spawned at once, each numbering 15 or so individuals. This was the case even on a nonlinked (dead) RP-PvP realm at 5:30 in the morning.

HOWEVER, the server reset spawns them -all.- If you can be here at reset, every single group is spawned, utterly trivializing the achievement. I doubt it even matters where you begin; whether you do a round around the filth pools, or begin down at the bonfire + blue mana construct thing--there's three groups around that, so it's where I started, another 3-4 groups on the way up to the pools, and I was done.

Schnoodledorfer의 댓글

Here are my spots where there were many 이갈룩 바퀴s. Sometime I combined nearby locations to reduce this to 255 characters so it can be pasted as a macro. Also, sometimes roaches would not respawn at a spot for a while, so you might want to survey your route and eliminate some of the waypoints if you are trying to get 바퀴에는 역시 레에에에에이드?!. You won't be able to get to all of these locations in one minute, but if you find a few locations well stocked with roaches, that should be enough.

/way 44.5 83.7

For what it's worth, I tested a 으스스한 상자 and found out that any roaches it ate do not count, so you don't want to have anything like it out while you are trying to get the achievement. .

The best way to do this achievement is to group up with some friends and get to the middle of the zone.Then everyone spread into a different direction keeping a 60 yards from each other.Good luck!

MBowman의 댓글

I can confirm that this is possible to two-man. It DOES take a lot of luck, however.

My friend and I tried several times before lucking out on distribution. We started from the lower entrance (from the interior of the island, opening from Diremoor), and when we got to the sewer-lake, we broke right and left. We got the achievement with two seconds to spare. Getting it with two people was a great feeling.

We did repeat it almost immediately, as our guild leader spotted this and said she wished she'd known we were trying for it, as she needed the achievement too. We invited her to our group and tried again, getting it after two tries with literally one second remaining.

We also experimented to find the range. The distance from the bottom of that long valley, leading from the lower entrance, up to the edge of the sewer-lake is within range of the achievement. The entire sewer-lake is in that range, so you can have people on either side (even longways) and gain credit.

However, I recommend staying together if you take the path up that valley, even if the stragglers aren't stomping on anything. If you have more than two people, you can fan out to get outlying roaches and not waste time or try to make on-the-fly judgements.

When scouting the area, keep in mind that roaches are only squished if you move, so if you're trying NOT to squish them (so as not to start the counter or remove roaches from when they count) and they're headed your way, freeze. They'll pass by unharmed. When jumping past them, aim for walls and rocks to avoid landing on any roaches before you mean to. If you're very careful, you can send one or two people to scout and find clusters.

If you have enough people who are very careful like that, you can pre-position at clusters to get those quickly, but keep in mind the range limitation so that everyone can get credit!

mroz123의 댓글

It looks like stomping non-grouped roaches boosts spawn rate of groups.

I tried this achievement at night with no one around and there was just 4 groups spawned after 20 minutes of waiting. Then I started to stomp every non-grouped roach leaving spawned groups alone and there was like 9 spawned groups in no time.

sitecow09의 댓글

Something about the WoD power squish has made the roaches have much more health, so you actually have to run over them 2 to 3 times before they die, making this achive nearly impossible atm.
Edit: Newest patch fixed this problem, now the roaches die as intended.

PGGargleBlaster의 댓글

Ok, after the patch (6.0.2) this achievement is a lot harder.

They no longer count in a raid group.
You need to run over them a few times before they die.

A quick and dirty guide to get it done.
Get a 5 man party (it is much easier now with the new group finder).
Find all the groups of bugs and place markers on them so you know where they are.
Split the party up into two so you can cover both sides of the "pool" at the same time.
Use the entrance near Arcweaver Jor'guva as a starting point. Three groups should spawn there.

And one thing that really helps is if all of the party members have Skin of the Saurok from the PvE daily. You move a lot faster and you don't aggro the whole place.

That is about it. Don't give up, it takes time but you can still do it.

Argentrose의 댓글

This quest is currently bugged as of November 4, 2014. No ETA on when it's going to be fixed. Even when we were stepping on them and killing them, they weren't counting. Likewise killing them with Arcane Explosion was counting some but not others; so, clearly something is up here.

mattheos의 댓글

This is still pretty bugged, but I was able to complete this SOLO on 11/22/14 in 6.0.3 at lvl 100.

Running over the bugs unmounted, mounted, or shape-shifted wasn't killing them at all. Mage AoE, however works and counts toward the counter/timer. So I ran around killing all the ungrouped bugs I could find, until I had plenty of groups up the main path. Then with the help of Blazing Speed and Blink I was able to AoE enough of them with 1s left on the clock.

I'm on a low pop server, and it was pretty quiet, just a couple of questers around, who (because its so bugged) weren't actually killing bugs accidentally.

Yes, you can use aoe to kill them and it will count towards the achievment.
I did it right after a server reset, and all packs were there.
You will 1st want to study the area and see where the packs are closer to each other, so you can make a route that you will follow.
Dont stop at all to kill other mobs, just run from stack to stack, and swipe them down.

Eido의 댓글

This achievement is pretty !@#$ing ridiculous at this point.
You have to run over them twice, sometimes even using an aoe doesn't count them.
This "glitch" being around since November of 2014.. I'm losing hope that it's an actual glitch and not an intended mechanic.

For freaking sake. If you're in a group you'll stop getting other's counting if you get too far apart. Blizz should fix this. I tried with a friend, and we're getting 200+ of stomps altogether, but split in 'portions' between us. Don't know if being in a Party Group or a Raid Group will count.

Shelassa의 댓글

Did it together with a friend.
We killed every pack of roaches that was not around the Ihgaluk Crag and marked the ones that spawned nearby it (some required more than one kill since respawn was too far). With total of 9 packs around the 'lake', we started at the same marker and ran in opposite directions (one clockwise and another counter-clockwise), finishing achievement within ~ 35 seconds. Could probably be solo-ed quite as easy, especially with a speed potion.

With the roaches now fixed, this achieve is very easy. It should be soloable, but you'll make it much easier on yourself if you bring a buddy along. Just start at the malfunctioning sunreaver, hit every roach group running up to the lake, and send your buddy one way around while you go the other. Me and mine hit it with 35 seconds to spare.

Just soloed as a boomkin,extremely easy:
1-turn starfall on
2-Run!
3-Achiev!
Any other aoe should count too but the most efficient,BY FAR,its starfall,so if you have a boomkin or a friend boomkin,it will be very easy ^^
PS; Dont forget to use Glyph of Untamed Stars
Update=Since pre patch 7.0 ,starfall will be less effective than before but still does some great help.

Arcashine의 댓글

Finally got this last night after using the Boomkin method. One thing that REALLY helped was being a hunter with barrage. If you can, start where the rare orange construct is running around the beach, have the Boomkin go left around the circle while you go right on your mount. When you both meet, turn around and quickly head to where the path splits to a circular camp to the left and a long hill on the right. The hunter should go down the left and barrage the entire camp, and the boomkin should go down the hill and use starfall as efficiently as possible. Hopefully this helps someone!

Just did this with 5 people. It was really easy. All we did was to find good spots with packs of 이갈룩 바퀴. We mounted up, then, at the same time, ran all around the place until everyone got the achievement.

NB! Make sure to keep on crushing (even though you got the achievement) till the timer runs out to make sure everyone gets the achievement.

Can be soloed on any class with a bit of luck and using the Server Hop addon. First look for a realm with at least 3 large groups of roaches, then proceed to stomp them and right after use the one-click hop button and hope that you'll get a "fresh" realm with no other players there. It took me 4 tries to get 2 realms filled with near identical roach spawns so all i had to do was walk the same route back as the first realm. Didn't use a mount or any enlargement buff but i did do the saurok disguise quest for the insane jump and movement speed buff and i even had 8 seconds to spare! I expect the Kazzak raid group wasn't all too happy with the serverhopping, but it seems that the new meta to get things done is being an egotistical prick or wait hours on end for people to actually join your achievement group :/

Use 'Checkered Flag' from DMF for 30% mount speed increase for 10min.

Windhammer의 댓글

This achievement is soloable.
As of 7.0.3 make sure to setup your talents in aoe usage and movement speed, and take a 드레나이 신속의 물약 .
Make sure you have scouted the area to have 6 active big piles of roaches and plan your path, starting preferably at a spot with 2 piles next to each other. Whenever you are above a pile dont waste time doing circles until you crunch all of them. Instead just hit your aoe spell and move to the next pile and repeat.
To avoid big respawn wait times when failing the achievement, you can make use of a server hopping addon to just switch server and try again.
Worked for me yesterday as ret pala and finally i got the Stormbreaker title.

Of course the easiest way is to get a group for it as long as there is enough people that care to get it :)

Darielyia36의 댓글

The lag I am experiencing whenever I run over a roach is so horrible it is making this achievement impossible for me. Doesn't matter how many speed buffs I use or AOE attacks because I lag out as soon as any roach is hit.

Drosera의 댓글

Still doable solo.

I made a mage class trial on the lowest pop / crz I could find. On NA that was Tol Barad, a Brazilian PvP server.

I then meticulously went through the whole roach zone doing arcane explosion to make sure I kill every roach in the whole area, then I waited about 10 minutes for respawns. There were A TON of groups which popped back up. Apparently you can end up with mostly killed packs which dont respawn, so a thorough 'scrubbing' will make every possible pack come back at full. I then simply ran on foot / shimmer / arcane explosion'd my way get it. Just find a bunch of full packs close together.

Other tips which could work...

You can Pandaren Panflute one pack with you to the next. You need to side-step to avoid crushing them though but this will buy you a little more distance. ( For those who might not know, if you side-step run over the roached? They dont get squished. ) I hope this helps, good luck!

All, this one is MEANT to be done with the Skin of the Saurak buff. Follow all of the advice about smashing individual bugs so they spawn groups. Do this until you are satisfied with the number of groups. It takes five or six. Set your path, wherever it may be (I circled the lake). Smash one group, then JUMP to the next group, smash, repeat.

Here at new years 2018, there aren't many people hanging around the timeless isle, so you should have plenty of time to set up the groups as you want.

Did this today running two arcane mages around level 100, running in opposite directions around the pit at /way 49.17 81.28 using Arcane Power (for mana conservation), Arcane Explosion spamming and casting Nether Tempest on the mobs. Took about 3 attempts to coordinate.

Sarthorius의 댓글

You wanna DO IT SOLO?
Here's what you'll need:

1 - 판다리아의 팬플루트
2 - Any character that has unlocked the saurok disguise, preferably a hunter (as you might pull the other saurok when grabbing some roaches to follow you), remove any pets, any proc equipment, that can damage/aoe.

First thing I noticed on comments here, and confirmed is that YOU CAN WALK THRU THE ROACHES BY SIDE-STEPPING (default shortcuts are 'Q' and 'E'). Just use your right-mouse button down to turn your toon, while 'walking' with the side-step buttons.
This way, you can SCAN the whole area for the cluster of roaches, so you pinpoint them all. The try I managed to solo, I saw too many scattered roaches and too few packs of them, so I walked around killing everything, either by stomping, or by using Barrage in a 360º circle, then I waited a few minutes, and scanned again, BINGO. Many clusters of them, so I began by using the flute to grab all the packs at 46.5 71.7, moved sideways (avoiding to trigger the achievement countdown) untill I found another pack, moved a bit farther, to make those that were following me to get in a 'line', and began stomping all the packs.

A thing of note: when you begin stomping is when you should avoid side stepping, just walk with 'W', and turn the character with the right-mouse button down, once you stomp a group, aim where you think is the next and JUMP (Spacebar). The saurok is better than using mounts, as you can reach farther distances then simply mounting and going all on ground.
Once you get on a pack, do a 360º circle on it (while walking with 'W') so you stomp the most, if not all, of them.

Since blizz fixed the achievement it may be now easier to get done. The key is: Scan first, if there are 5+ clustered groups, you're good to begin. If not, clear them by any means, then wait a few minutes, and scan again.
If you're on a high pop server, you can park the toon near the area, and log on it right after the servers are back up after tuesday/wednesday maintenance, sometimes you may find a lot of packs up.

Done the achievement today, BFA patch 8.2.5 on CoA EU, solo using the Panflute of Pandaria and the saurok skin as Sarthorius commented, however as AddictedPoi mentioned there is a limit to the amount of critters that can follow you (I have yet to confirm that it's 40 but I used that as the limit).
How I did it:

Clear out scattered and 'thin' groups around the large pond and the paths that lead to Magister Yalis and the northwest entrance to Diremoor

Wait until large clustered groups spawn. NOTE: you can move without squishing the roaches by using Q and W on your keyboard, and the mouse to move/look around
Once you see enough big cluster groups (you should need about 5-6 in total) find some that have less or are more scattered and use the Panflute of Pandaria to get them to follow you, trying to collect around 40, I took 2 groups (using W and Q to move without squashing them) and position yourself near the group you want to start with.

This should be enough to do the achievement.
Extra tips: Try doing it at the least active time on your server, preferably without WM on to avoid weird phasing. Be patient, it can get frustrating if you don't get it in a few tries.

Best of luck!

After many years, I got it. This is the solo guide I used.

Just did it solo and it wasnt that hard. You just need to have a bit of luck I guess or do some scouting before.
It really helps beeing transformed in that skumblade and using jumps. You need several of those "large" groups of cockroaches and quickly running form one to another. If you have luck, or did some pre-scouting, and choosed good path, you should not have much truble finishing it. I had around 10 sec left when I finished.

It's impossible to do this achievement by yourself as of now, unless you're incredibly lucky, since you have to run the roaches over at least two times and you'll still lose some of those for the count. At least that's what I experienced.

The Panflute of Pandaria does not work on the roaches, just tried today.

It seems the pre-Shadowlands level squish has brought back the old bug caused by the stat squish. Stepping on a roach no longer kills them instantly. Instead it takes 2-3 attempts to kill them, making this achievement far more difficult for the time being.

For those that want to do this achievement currently while it is bugged. If you have a mage, preferably a level 50 mage, do the scenarios to unlock the dailies. Then, do the Ighaluk quest to receive the saurok buff for the increase in movement speed. Search the area now, beginning with the first bonfire at the entrance of Ighaluk.

Start surveying the area, if you have around 8-10 pack of roaches, go back to the first bonfire. Have prepared a Lightfoot potion and kind of speed buffs. Now go and spam Arcane Explosion. Yes, the Arcane Explosion COUNTS towards the achievement, any kind of AoE that can kill the bugs, counts, but since Arcane Explosion is both spamable and quite massive in AoE you 1 shot the pack = Easy 20-30 bugs.

If you do not have enough packs, kill EVERY pack, and wait for them to respawn. The respawn timer seems to be around 5~min.

PS: Do not bother with the moving roaches. They are not part of the packs, and you will lose precious time.

wow not ONE comment on which zone you actually have to be in to attempt this achievement just thousands of comments boasting about how they did it. Pathetic.

Just letting everyone know that as of the 9.0.5 launch the scaling bug has not been fixed so don't waste your time trying if you're on a class that isn't able to do this in it's bugged state!

This achievement have bugs about movement controls !

First problem : If you try to smash roaches while pushing to "Q - E - A - D" this will not smash the bugs.

These roaches only reacting to "W - S" button feeds.

Second problem : Roaches are not getting one hit from movement & jump mechanics. You have to try that 2 or 3 times.

Third problem : Sometimes roaches are dying but not counting for achievement.

If you want to complete that achievement, you have to find more people for solve the third problem.

For anyone still attempting to get this, after the weekly server maintenance is an excellent time since ALL of the bugs will be up. I just completed after several previous failed attempts due to lack of packs on my warlock.

As previously mentioned, don't bother trying to step on them. Use AOE abilities. I used my voidwalker, rain of fire, and infernal to kill them and finished with ~30 seconds left. Previous attempts I was lucky to break 100 on the counter, so do yourself a favor and wait for server maintenance. Much much easier.

Alright people, here's how I got my achievement.

Ok, first I recommend a marksman hunter.
You might be able to do it with another class and spec, but I did it SUPER EASY with a MM hunter.

Take barrage, volley, and make sure you have the Night Fae ability.
Unlock the dailies until you gain the ability to automatically turn into a lizard whenever you’re in the roach area.

Never mount up.

Wait about 5 to 10 minutes until several circles of roaches spawn.
Start at the bonfire, then start running, spamming barrage after lizard jumping, run up the hill, near the center pond area.
Keep using volley and the night fae ability in between spamming Barrage.

Make sure you spin 360 degrees and lizard jump every time before you use barrage.
Shortly after getting to the center pond area, the achieve should pop.

You absolutely NEED Barrage though, if you do this as a hunter, because it kills SO many roaches.
Like I said, you might be able to do it with a different class and spec, but because of Barrage, it’s easiest as a MM hunter.
Good luck everyone!

Shadowlands Fury Warrior guide to solo this achievement;

TLDR; make a counterclockwise circle around the big lake, DON'T try to step on all of them, just AOE DPS!

1. Equip an item with the power: 도약자의 기억 (3 charges of heroic leap) and spec 연속 돌진 in your talent tree.
2. Check if you are alone in the area, and if a large number of big packs of roaches are up, by carefully walking/jumping around the lake coast. (Avoid roaches if you can)
2. If yes: Stand still in the middle of the large pack of roaches, at /way 49.80, 78.28
3. Make sure the achievement timer is NOT running yet. If it's running, wait until it runs out.
4. Cast 소용돌이 and go RIGHT, start running counterclockwise around the lake.
5. 영웅의 도약 to the next pack or 돌진 to an NPC nearby/in one.
6. Rinse and repeat, keep casting 소용돌이 or 칼날폭풍 around the lake, as fast as possible, using leap and charge.
7. ?
8. Achievement unlocked!

Took me 2-3 tries to get the achieve when I thought it was really impossible!
Wait about 10 minutes for the roaches to respawn and try again.
This could also work on other classes if they are fast enough.

For the shamen out there you can use the deeptremor legendary that gives your earth elemental permanent earthquake to do this fairly easy. Summon your EE, mount up, and use any of the paths posted here.

I had a really hard time getting this as a feral druid main. Plenty of speed but not enough energy to keep doing AOE. I had to swap to guardian and spam swipe since it requires no energy while using stampeding roar and Nitro Boosts from engineering on my belt for speed. Without the engineering belt I don't know if I could have done it since I had 1 second left when I hit 200.

After reading many comments and watching a few videos and also failing a few times..I was able to get this achievement with the lizard form. I was on my ret paladin, really any toon can do this but take whoever has the lizard form available. While the comments are helpful all you need are the right amount of Roach packs and the lizard form for the jump that you'll get..speed is really key. I didn't damage them I just trampled all over the packs..that method doesn't take you out of the lizard form.. I started near the camp fire and didn't start timer until I spotted the first pack and just went to town. I jumped when nothing was nearby to get to the lake area that had a bunch of packs and got all off them..Achievement dinged with like 10 seconds to spare. Good advice from the video on wowhead is to scout area...I didn't do that because I just got to the point where I was going to attempt it once a day until I got it...BUT it is good advice nonetheless. Good luck.

I don't know if anyone had anything recently so I will make this easy. Especially since its pretty barren on thunder isle this far out. The daily Nalak camp or xmog hunters.. anyway the key points to an easy achievement.

you DON'T need to group or anything.
Just start at either end and mount up or not. I walked it once as to not miss anything or accidentally squish what I didn't want to. Find any roach along the main path that IS NOT in a group and not bee lining it in any direction. you're looking for the ones with a short path back and forth or just sitting there. Go back and forth the main path killing them. you'll see the big groups spawning in some of the spots. the single ones you're squishing are the ones keeping those groups from spawning. once you have 6+ groups in a short range of each other, watch your achievement for the clock to run out then make the run. Only pass over each group twice at most. any more you will be wasting time on a small amount. You should see the achievement well before the clock runs out.

This was driving me nuts after 2 hours so I came here and noticed Wowcrypt123'2 VERY good advice on waiting 10 mins for as much density to spawn in multiple areas.

HOWEVER. What I did was make a custom group (didn't invite anyone) and I used raid markers to mark EACH group of cockroaches. I found 6 groups.
Now considering each group holds about 30 cockroaches even though it doesn't look like it so the numbers seem right but are VERY tight so picking up strays is going to be essential if you have to consciously do it.

Before I put raid markers down I could only get 165. Since then I'm SOO close. most I got was 192 though so I'm gona keep trying.

I can't imagine how this was done DURING MoP considering how many people were around.

BTW you will have to replace the markers positions as it seems the packs of cockroaches changes location. BAH!

Hope this helps and gl all : ]

EDIT: WOOP! I just got EXTREMELY lucky! I had 7 groups of roches.
Seems there is a fair bit of credence to Jkizis' post about killing the stationary or back N forth roaches to force localized groups to spawn. after doing that and going round the area they did indeed spawn by the time I came back. Please upvote his/her comment.

As a BM hunter, my issues were the cooldowns for barrage/character speed/being put in combat by hitting mobs with barrage and losing time waiting to drop out of combat to resume the zone transformation into the jumping thing/random player(s) running through the area while I was attempting the achievement and disrupting the piles. I found it easiest to switch to MM and focus ONLY on speed talents, barrage, and volley. I chose disengage (with the speed boost after popping it), cheetah, and had the Goblin racial jump ability (which I did not use on the run that completed the achievement). I used a combination of techniques from the previous comments but did NOT scout the area/stomp on straggler bugs during the completed achievement run.

These were my steps, which completed the achievement with approximately 13 seconds to spare. :

1.) Farm Blazing Sigil of Ordos from Timeless Isles. I used 5 but recommend farming more just in case. This will likely be the most time consuming part of the achievement unless you have better RNG than I do. I would not recommend taking fewer than 5 sigils, even if you use other abilities. If you have more speed abilities than hunters, it appears others have completed this achievement by using more than 5 sigils and little to no class abilities.

2.) Dismiss pet.

3.) Start at the campfire area. Don't start the run unless there is at least one large pool of bugs in this area. From my experience, late at night or closer to reset provide the best pool results and largely assure nobody else will be in the achievement zone.

4.) You'll start in the jumper form. Run near the first pile of roaches and pop off a sigil. You will be knocked out of jumper form. Pop cheetah and start running up the hill.

5.) You can turn at some point and pop barrage. Pop off a sigil on your way up the hill. You'll soon return to jumper form. It's my experience that there are fewer roaches located on the run up the hill, so I found it best to only pop one sigil while running, get back in jumping form, and leap two to three times until I was near the water area at the top of the hill.

6.) Run around and pop volley, turn backwards and disengage while spinning in a circle, and pop a few more sigils. For me, this method covered back and front, killing most of the bugs in this area.

It looks like Blizz has managed to adjust this to make it easier to do. Was on my way to farm Padaria world boss mounts and while on one of my alts and farming extra Elder Charms, I ran through this area and just started squishing bugs because it was just "something fun to do" and suddenly got the achievement. I didn't do anything special, I was on my mount and just ran through whatever packs I could see and I got it completed.
