Dies ist ein PvP-Erfolg!

Die Winterwundervolt-Maschine für Allianzler steht vor den Toren von Eisenschmiede. Um die Siege zu erreichen, meldet Euch über den Dungeonbrowser über Spieler gegen Speler zum Schlachtfeld an und kämpft dort gegen andere Spieler.

Nix für reine PvE-Spieler ;-)

Kommentar von Murve

Since you can't queue for specific BG's anymore here's a fast method to get this AV:

-bring 2 friends of the opposing faction. (1 of them should have a heal spec)
-meet them somewhere in shattrath e.g. (may take some time to find a layer you see each other on)
-kill the one who isn't the healer while the healer spams mass ressurect. (takes ~5 minutes for 50 kills with no haste at all)
-profit

hope this helps :)

Kommentar von Waalkes837

Die Winterwundervolt-Maschine steht in der nähe vom Flugmeister in Ogrimmar.

Einfach reinstellen.

(Reference to The Beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends")

Kommentar von Majora2010

This could prove to be a chore for Druids (Feral ones especially) since shape shifting causes the buff to disappear.

Kommentar von Zacban

I'll be playing AV a lot during this festival just to see Gnomes killing Gnomes. Gonna be great!

Could turn out to be a pain in the butt though as you will propably lose the buff when you die, so it will involve a lot of passive killing letting others do the job for you :)

Hence propably the name of the achievement

Hope they dont move the machines to the Bg
or make them persist trough death.

Like said all achievements of winter veil are easy.
maybe a little bit to easy.

If u can remember the pain of rolling for the squashling
and Hallowed helm then even if the machine is not
in the BG or through death its still a piece of cake.

Kommentar von Sekai

So in other words, don't count on any feral tanks for vann/drek during winter veil?

Kommentar von 239638

Not too worried, but then, I can spec disc, have my super bubble at the ready, and stand back to heal, but yes, will be hard either way =/. I just hope that the costume buff won't go away upon entering a siege, Wintergrasp kills ftw.

Kommentar von Antman

even if this wont persist through death it wont be too hard to get. As Winter Veil is Dec 15 - Jan 2 u got quite some time to get 50 hk.

Kommentar von 274859

What if I join a.. let's say AV, get 5 HK's and then die, would it then be 5/50 as it doesn't say 50 in one BG round, if so this should be one of the easiest but take some time for non-rogues.

Kommentar von dakoth

Exactly. You can get your 50 HK's in 50 different BG's if you want to (or in world pvp, if that's your preference).

Kommentar von jaxsonbateman

1. Queue AV.
2. Get costume.
3. Stand at back of main offensive force (or at the front, but play defensively - flee to the back if you're in trouble).
4. Get 50 proxy HK's.
5. ?
6. Profit.

Kommentar von 194732

Just remembered about Wintergrasp. You can go a whole battle without dying there. So in a way at wintergrasp it is possible to get this achievement.

Kommentar von 150104

The effect does not persist through death. I have been into 2 battlegrounds and gotten 3 Honorable kills before i was killed in the fray of about 6v6 people.

It does make it a lot harder to get, but if every achievement was easy to get then they wouldn't be achievements would they.

Kommentar von myrddinde

It is easy to do in Witnergrasp.
If you die, you right click on the minimap icon and choose "Leave Batleground", run to the Center of Dalaran, get transformed again and reenter the portal to Wintergrasp.

Kommentar von 68432

Really blizzard has to give up the restriction of shapeshifting removing costumes. Its not hard to see what form the druid use cause of the mana/rage or energy bar....
It sux to go to AV since people know druids cant use any forms and we are the by far most hk friendly target in the bg.
Tried to play defence and stay behind all but people just go around em to get us druids in the back thats acting like sitting ducks.
Would love to see a blizzard patch saying "Sprint,shadowstep,blink,invis,fear, anything that helps people survive, removes costumes" For the stupid idea blizz has on achieve/quests and stuff like this where we cant use travel form to gain distance,moonkin/bear to survive more then 2-3 hits from melee.....
/rant over from *!@#ed off druid that got 2hk in a single av before death in the backline..

Kommentar von lmh86

While doing this achievement, you also have a good chance at completing Wrecking Ball, since it helps to stay alive to keep the PX-238 Winter Wondervolt buff up.

Kommentar von 36027

Seems that wintersgrasp would be the best to to do this in as you can leave and come back whenever you lose the buff.

Yea MUCH easier especially if your defending...hop into a destroyer and mow people over at the fort door, and if you die port to dalaran get a new buff and port back

Kommentar von EightBitBus

I tried 5 or 6 SotAs and got a whopping 6HKs with the costume on. I went to Wintergrasp, hopped in a catapult and flame breathed my way to this achievement. Definitely easier to do if you're defending the courtyard since you can just light people up as they make for the keep stairs.

Kommentar von 265377

My advice is to get yourself in queue for the battles, then don your costume. Then, once you're in the match, try to keep on the periphery of battle. Any kind of caster will excel at this particular brand of combat, though it will be more difficult for melee-types. If you're melee, I suggest a drive-by tactics. Run in, slice 'em up a bit, run back out. Heal if you have to.

And, even though you probably shouldn't, there is always the option of leaving the match after you die :P.

Kommentar von Powerage

As lvl 80 Rogue, this is about as easy as it gets. Queued AV, put costume on, stayed with a pack of people and got all 50 in one round.

Kommentar von 707

It's 50 kills people, suck it up.

Kommentar von 35026

The easy way to do it as a druid is to go to Wintergrasp or Strand of the Ancients and jump in a vehicle or turret.

Kommentar von blazingpenguin

'Cos I get high with a little help from my friends (from my friends)

Kommentar von 42946

This isn't that bad as a Boomkin druid with a fair amount of spellpower. Just join SoTA or AV and stick with a zerg and heal. Shadowmeld is your friend.

Kommentar von kerluna

I did this in AV. It was surprisingly easy. Just stick with the crowd of gnomes so as not to stick out, and don't go off on any Rambo missions.

Kommentar von Gnowo

As "battlefreak" said, this is pretty easy if you are in Wintergrasp. Just go there while your faction is defending, take control of one of the canons and shoot the crap out of anything opposing that is coming your way. It took me less than 30 minutes to complete the achievement that way.

Kommentar von 279780

The most perfect way to do this achievement is the Strand of Ancients BG. The kills while you drive a tank, or shoot from the turret counts toward that achievement ^^.
Did like 5-6 battles and got that.

Kommentar von Nulgar

Hint for (feral) druids when you control Wintergrasp and the next match is coming up:

Set your hearth to Dalaran and use the Wondervolt in the middle of Dalaran
Take the portal to Wintergrasp when it opens (I'm yet unsure on whether it closes some time into the match)
Get into a raid group of the players fighting there (this is important, as kills not tagged to you will not count, though they count for the daily available there)
Man one of the defense towers on the outer walls, Alliance will usually attack from the East, Horde from the West.
Aim mostly for the vehicles, especially the ram tanks, since single players, if unengaged by other sources, are hard to take out, especially when they can heal. Good and expecting aim will help here a lot, though
If the attackers break through, fall back
If you somehow die throughout the match, hearth back to get the buff anew, if your hearth is on CD, simply leave the zone as you would leave a battleground (right-click icon at the minimap)

Kommentar von 142762

if you're a rogue this is ez ... <3 stealth

Kommentar von 93210

Definitely AV if you're lucky (I joined in the middle of a turtle--when else is that going to be considered lucky?--and got more like 80 HKs without dying or needing to shift as a druid), but with the Wondervolt in Dalaran, it definitely sounds like Wintergrasp is the more reliable way to go.

Unless you're a female tauren feral druid. Then you're just kind of hosed, I think.

Kommentar von 281478

For all you feral druids, if you can do Strahd of the ancients I suggest doing it for this achievement, you can use cannons and/or drive tanks while still getting kills without feelign so useless, or just hitting people with sticks. I was able to get the achievement as a feral druid, without respecc'ing or using healing gear in roughly 6 strahd of the ancient battles

Kommentar von the220

Or you can get a "little help from your friends" by having a person equal to your level on the opposite faction stand at a graveyard and you kill him 50 times in a row and then he gets a costume and kills you 50 times. of course it wont work on PvP servers. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing this might work. Anyone know if it will?

Kommentar von 169060

LOL! LOVE WINTERVEIL!

Kommentar von 224951

I would suggest trying to complete "Let it snow" while doing this. If you lose the costume as a druid, stealth around and pick off the remaining classes you need before AFK'ing out.

Kommentar von Werlwind

Misery BG(EU) @ lvl 70 this fails hard :( With about 2 kills per battleground this is going to take a while :<

Kommentar von 176702

This is incredibly easy on PVP servers. Just go to lower level areas and gank people that are at least green to you. As long as they're not gray they count as honorable kills. Even as a feral druid this should be pretty easy as long as you have a flying mount and not just flight form.

Kommentar von 136659

Quick tip, especially if you're in the low 70s going into an 80 AV, stay away from the towers. I got pwned by archers before I could even get 1 HK.

Kommentar von Kappa143

Funny that you have to do this achievement (along with others) to get the title "Merrymaker".

Very happy merrymaking killing 50 people...

Kommentar von glycereth

If you are a Tauren Druid, you will feel that you PVP 10 times better than you usually do.

Even if you are Feral, toss on your healing gears, maybe a stam trinket just for more survivability.

Start healing everyone you see taking damage, you don't need to hide behind an obstacle or hug a wall, NOBODY will attack you unless you are in front of everyone else -_-

I joined an AV and I got 43 hks healing as Feral, the game ended in just about 8mins.

So don't get *!@#ed becoz you can't shapeshift, look at things on the brighter side, we Taurens definitely benefits more than what we lose.

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von 64664

50 kills isnt really that bad.
I hate pvp as well. But some things just have to be done. Don't go rushing into battle. Fight at places where more people are fighting. Out of 2 battles, 1 Eye of the Storm and 1 AV I have already 26 of the needed 50.
You don't need great gear to stay alive as long as you be careful. :]
I'm a protection specced level 78 warrior with just blacksmith crafts. Sure after a while I get killed like 10 times or so, but by then I already had 15 kills as well, so when it's finished, up to the next BG.

It is stupid that you can't use the costume while shapeshifted though. Feel sorry for the druids and shamans. :{

Kommentar von Conreeaght

The way I did it as a pve prot warrior (though any PvP-terrible class could do it) is via wintergrasp when your faction owns the keep.

If you play with minimum graphics, you are going to have to bump the view distance slider up a notch or three to be effective (unless this causes your machine to explode, in which case it's doable, you just might take longer)

In this case, sit in dalaran until the battle is announced - there's a guy that will tell you how long is left. Wondervolt and portal just a bit after the battle starts. Grab a cannon asap, preferably the walls in front, or tower corners that belong to the workshops on either side of the wings.

Now for the easy part: Mash the 1 key.

Target everything on the ground that's hostile that you can. Try to aim the circle so that your target is right in the middle for maximum damage. Siege engines and players (who pop out of siege engines so don't stop the music), everything counts to your achievement total so long as you recently put some damage on what's dying. You don't have to be grouped. Beware of assassinations from opponents that sneak up behind you after some walls go down (just turn around and give them the business end).

If your cannon goes pop, find another, or enter the fray till you die.

In which case, you leave, wondervolt, and go back...or wait till next battle with castle ownership to go at it again.

Kommentar von LilDorth

lol funny how u all are complaining this is a very easy achievement just go to AV and stand on people make's it hard for the other side to see you. I got this in 1 AV try so 1 is all it should take and if u are about to die use some pots or stuff u can even say paying some money for personal healer

also its doable at any level i was 74

Kommentar von 14451

Easy, but not very contributing way to get this done on Alliance side...

1) Get costume
2) Queue AV
3) Move to Aid Station, SP GY or Icewing Bunker - somewhere with heavy battle.
4) Place yourself a bit to the side but still within proximity of the battlefield.
5) Shadowmeld and drink your cup of coffee.

Kommentar von 287069

Attention all druids... what ever form you are in when you enter the machine is the form you stay in while being a lil helper. IE. as a restro druid I entered the machine in tree form and then entered battleground in treeform. the only flaw with that is I couldnt mount up because i would have auto shapeshift then lost my buff. Lets just say... slow movin

Kommentar von rigel

I've been trying to get this since Winter Veil started, and finally succeeded, but not due to help from my friends... Not only do griefers try to whack you asap when they see you're on the achievement, I've had more than a dozen players on my side transform me with Hallow's End wands, to wash of the buff. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Kommentar von 125506

This morning I was in wintergrasp with my achievement counter open and I noticed that I got a kill credit when I killed a NPC soldier. This was during a wintergrasp battle, and may not work when the battle is not in session, but killing NPCs in wintergrasp (and other bgs?) may be a way to speed up your kill rate for the achievement. Can anyone confirm if you get credit when a battle is not going on in wintergrasp?

Kommentar von 90907

this was so easy..i did it all in one check this screenshot

like the guide says ..u either have to be really lucky...or really good

Kommentar von 160394

Hook of the Master Angler removes the buff, just like virtually all model changing spells.

EDIT: why have I been downrated for providing some (potentially) useful information?

Kommentar von 289894

I think that blizzard put in this acievement so druids could leech more in bgs, since shapeshifting removes the buff. : (

Kommentar von Staredown

There is a PX-238 in the center of Dalaran.

Kommentar von Leoron

I really hate this achievement.
I really hate that Blizzard are forcing me to spend lots of hours
grinding for this.
I really hate PVP.

There should have been another way to get this achievement.

Kommentar von 109125

As said above wintergrasp is the way to go. Hell you can just sit in a turret near one of the walls being attacked, but as delrodo mentioned if your a decent WG player just roll over the hordies in a vehicle and the portal in dal really helps, i got this done in one battle, died twice.

Kommentar von 1331_

I got this achievement rather easily as a feral druid, after reading most of the posts on here i thought oh dear, decided since it was 2:15 mins till the next Wintergrasp (Couldn't find that Blood Elf Warlock :) ). That i would try my first SotA as a level 75.

Just make sure you use the vehicles, and if you get low health on the vehicle, high tail it out of there. Finally Wintergrasp opened (yeah i was still trying, it was early on a Sunday with one bg open) and managed to get the rest of the kills, although not before being nuked by a Warlock with 2 kills left

Kommentar von 70623

The fastest way for me was doing this:

I went to Dalaran at the machine in the middle. Then I queued in for Strand of the ancients. The queue for for this BG is very short and the rounds are quick so no worries if you screw up and die.

I changed until I got the green gnome (easier to hide than in a flashy red suit). So what I did was stay close to the fighting but hide behind rocks and trees. There are really good spots close to the gates to hide. You don't even have to engage anyone as long as your close enough to the battles to get credits. Just sneak close to the fights and stay hidden. You'll get those HKs in two or three runs.

Easy!

Kommentar von 315042

I expect alot of BG afking during this one....

Kommentar von lmanth

That is the funniest screenshot I've seen for ages. I felt kind of sorry for the two guys not in costume...

Kommentar von Yall

One of the easiest ways to do this is doing a turtle in AV. I just did this in AV, about 15 of us got the achievement, we had a turtle of about 30 people going and eventually killed the final guy. I didn't die once and got credit for 153 HK's, pretty nice :)

Kommentar von Aenonar

Appears as if horde can only get green suits and alliance only red suits this year? Tried over 50 times with my horde char and got green every time, and all allies jumping in got red every single time.. Perhaps to better differentiate them in PvP etc.. But kinda lame Oo

Kommentar von 498721

When trying to complete this, instead of leaving battleground, Press Alt + f4 to quit game, the debuff for deserting does not happen.

Kommentar von Gryphon

Being any kind of druid requires you to change shape to be the most effective.... Luckily, you can get honor kills without actually killing other players yourself.

Go to Wintergrasp.
Don't change shape.
Cast Tranquility on your group. Every player they kill will count as one for you.
Spam cast Rejuvenate on any player you see in your Faction. Same effect. Everyone they kill will count as a kill for you.
Or cast sweeping area effect spells like Hurricane or Starfall. If you hit an enemy player and then someone else kills them it counts for your kill total.

This type of strategy will work for any squishy caster type class.

If you happen to ride through a Wondervolt machine on your Mechano-hog, your side car passenger will be flipped upside down and have their head clipping through the ground.

Kommentar von deathmastar

I would recommend using the tower cannons found in Isle of Conquest. In one battle you can easily get 50 honorable kills without ever dying.

Kommentar von 362949

Isle of Conquest is the easiest place. Stay in your keep, run up the stairs to the turrets and shoot anything that runs past. Got this achivement in 2 IoC battles and didn't die once.

Kommentar von 361979

All i know is that as a DK im going to be DG-ing the ppl in the back trying to stay alive and get the acheivement. not that i dont DG gnomes on a regular basis already :)

Not sure if some1 has already posted this observation.. but:

Every major goblin area seems to have one somewhere :) (Mudspr. isnt major and thus doesnt.. BB and Gad. do) ^^

Hope that helps :)

Helped me while i was w8ing in line for AV and doing the snowflakes achievement at the same time :D

Happy Holidays mates

Kommentar von Hairband

Will update this post if I find the answer... but I am curious which way is the easiest to get this achievement, WG or a BG. I am sorry to report in WG I got exactly 9 Honorable Kills and am wondering if I should bother to go back in WG or just do a BG and let the chips fall where they may. And if a BG is better, which one? Some are saying AV, some Strand.

Kommentar von emilov

Judging by all of the posts - it is not that hard actually :) but being a druid i will give my share of experience. After 7 different BGs (3 ultra fast AV - just run and take the base) with just 11 kills I got in WG while attacking and hid behind the big rock in front of the fortress. First try = success.

Kommentar von 501154

Confirmed.Go AV and stay with the people.Help each other,because the other side can be rude,and they attack the gnomes first.(Main towers can be useful :P)

Kommentar von 458414

Gotta say, I went to Isle of conquest, defended the keep in a tower gun. I was done in 10 mins.

I Qu'ed up in Dalaan, in case I needed to suit-up again, but there was no need.

Kommentar von Fuumu

On my server/faction at least, AV is HORRIBLE for this achievement. I got 1 kill once, and 2 kills in the next. Gave up and went to AB and got 35 kills.

Kommentar von 400301

I tried AV but everyone was out for us 'wondervolt' peeps - followed another posts advice - went to Isle of conquest - ran upstairs to a cannon and just kept shooting...had 50 hon about halfway thru..died and still kept fighting and we won that one!

Kommentar von Erethzium

Went to WG as a Little Helper, and easily got 50 kills =) Note that you don't have to get the killing blow, someone else in your raid group has to, and it will count as an honorable kill for you. So just stick around with groups of people like I did, and you'll be fine.

Kommentar von 509054

Isle of Conquest made this reaaaaaaal easy. Just follow along with the massive group, stay out of dodge, and rack up the HKs.

Kommentar von onyxdragon

Personally, I agree, just do WG, hell I half the time get my promotions before I even SEE horde, if I join after the battle starts...just grab a tank or cannon, or turret, and start shooting, hell if you don't have a target aim for where the action SHOULD be... might get lucky... I'm a feral tank and this is gonna be how I get it... but still, I personally think they should not require this for meta, or make the buff stack over our forms cuz, making this impossible for one particular spec to get is BS...

as for people saying we should have to work for it, thats a good point, but if I'm not mistaken world events are for "fun" and who is to say alliance and horde working together to complete achievements ISN'T "fun" and "in the spirit"...kinda like the english and the germans sharing xmas dinner in the trenches...

Kommentar von Regigo

Running wild is not castable while under the buff from the machine.

The Winter Wondervolt machines are by the flight master in Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

Here's how to easy mode this achievement:

1. Get buff
2. Queue for Isle of Conquest
3. Jump in a cannon on top of the tower
4. Shoot people

After getting 1 in AV, 2 in AB, and 8 in EotS, I got the other 39 without breaking a sweat in one match. I could have got more, but I didn't need them.

Confirmed, for those of you who dont like PvP or like me are not PvP Gods. . yu can just join a a random BG and hagout you get Honorable kills from others bloody work
:-D

Note: Isle of Conquest works wonders

Kommentar von Thecanman

Sibrina Said:

I agree. I hate pvp and Blizzard always finds some way to drag me back into it. Holiday achievement? Violet proto drake! Be stressed out even more during the Christmas season by trying to survive while some sack of refuse tries to grief you. Thanks Blizzard! Merry Christmas! What FUN!

Normally I hate warlock PvP, and I was dreading having to do this (and school of hard knocks).Yet I still got achievement on my lock after 6 BGs, getting 7-10 kills as a gnome per BG. And guess what? I had more fun in a PvP environment than I ever had on this toon! And the best part is, you only have to score kills, not capture objectives, making it much easier, I would have thought twice about doing it if you had to capture a flag in EotS or assault 2 flags in AB as a winter helper (though I ended up doing both things anyway :P)
At the end of the day the Violet Proto-Drake achievement is optional, the Merrymaker achievement is optional. If you really don't like it, then the answer is simple: DON'T DO IT. Blizard isn't "dragging you back" into anything.

Kommentar von 692542

I agree with the people who say to queue for Isle of Conquest; it's definitely the best place to get this achievement! I got one HK in Athari Basin, and decided that's not working and would take waaay too long, so I went for Isle of Conquest. Never done this bg before, so I had no idea where the cannons were, so I just walked around trying to hide. First two runs I got 25 HK's, third, after finally realizing where the cannons are located, I got up to 47, then the the bg was over (we one, go Horde!). ;D Last and finally run got the last three.

Now all that's left is "He Knows If You've Been Naughty"! :3

Kommentar von 671328

I've been in 3 Isle of Conquest matches now, and I don't seem to get any HK's at all while in a cannon. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Kommentar von julienpdx

as a feral druid; this achievement is just plain unfair. Also, it doesn't exactly make sense since no matter what form I am in while in "Bruunhildar Village" (the "blue lady village" in Storm peaks...); I manage to stay in Blue Lady form; so my thinking is they could easily re-code this so that I can actually be useful in PVP while an xmas gnome.

Kommentar von Noceo

Locations

Horde:
The Winter Wondervolt (the one that transforms you) is found at near the flightmaster in Orgrimmar (50,61).

NB. If any has other locations, like for Alliance, let me know and I will try to update this post.

Kommentar von Ariamodasu

Was really hoping they would cull the numbers a bit for this achieve. It's a pain in the ass if you're a shifter (Which is painfully easy to do without thinking) and they dropped the number on GNerds of all things that was already reasonably sane since you could hoard the damn things.

If they insist we need 50 kills at least have a machine avaliable in the battleground. Like most people I want it done and over with, not stuck waiting until it ends to go out, get it back on and return more so when I'm unlucky enough to end up in a string of fail matches. I do see mention of Tol Barad though hm, if it actually gets some traffic it might be a good way round it.

Kommentar von Decruption

easy as pie, costume machine is located near fly master in org buff last 30 mins, or gose if you die, que for AV or IC stand back and wacth

Kommentar von Catdancing

The machine is now located right by the flight point in Orgrimmar

Kommentar von gtadem

If you are actively working on this quest, DO NOT USE your engineer teleportation device. My human gnomish engineer used her Ultrasafe Transporter: Toshley's Station and got the Transporter Malfunction debuff, turning her into a draenei for one hour. For as long as I had that debuff, the wondervolt will not transform me into a little helper.

Worse, that debuff does not count down while logged out.

Kommentar von cremeen

I had a hard time finding the PX-283 Winter Wondervolt and thought others would have the same problem, it is located at cords 68,71 just north of Captain Lancy Revshon

Kommentar von MakoSDV

This achievement is crap. Tried Isle of Conquest and got killed within a few seconds after spawning in. The buff goes away as soon as you die and there's no way to get the buff back until the next battleground. At least the gnerds one I could reapply within the battleground after I got ganked.

Kommentar von Lucilite

Here is a list with all the current locations of the PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machines:

(according to Wowwiki. If there any more missing from thii list feel free to tell in comments.)

ALLIANCE:
Stormwind City - - at the ramp to the gryphon roost
Dun Morogh - - just outside the Gates of Ironforge
The Exodar - - outside at eastern entrance
Wetlands - - near the docks of Menethil Harbor

HORDE:
Durotar - - just west of the eastern zeppelin tower
Eversong Woods - - just outside Silvermoon City
Tirisfal Glades - - just off the eastern zeppelin tower

NEUTRAL:
Dalaran - - in the city's center, in Runeweaver Square
Shattrath - - across the eastern bridge
Stranglethorn Vale - - on the docks of Booty Bay
Tanaris - - just east of Gadgetzan

Kommentar von 824937

Like the previous poster I thought that this achie was total ar**cakes. Not having the reaction time of a 10 year old I do not PVP so have not attempted this in previous years. I was nearly homocidal with frustration having waded my way through countless battlegrounds only to get wasted at 49 kills in AV. Imagine my delight to see the achievement pop up after I died! This may have been a lag related glitch but it was very welcome - do not immediately release seems to be the message here. No more PVP for me - the only event achievement I now need is School of Hard Knocks from Childrens Week - now that is impossible.

Kommentar von Jollygood

This is mostly for PVE people who hate PVP.

Pick Arathi basin over and over again. It's simple and small. If you do it over and over again, it feels familiar and you get an idea of what the other players do. This makes for less stress. Don't go into the thick of battle, hoping to get all your kills out of the way. Don't bother capturing the flag. Don't bother being in the forefront of people charging ahead. And for the love of the FSM, do not go near the blacksmith. That's where most of the altercations are and if you are not a PVP person, you will die fast and lose the santa suit fast. (I say this as a caster. If you are a protection tank, your mileage may vary.) Pick a location (not the blacksmith!), pick a buddy and defend a spot. I found the farm and stables to be good because there is a clear line of sight and I could see incoming opponents.

It may seem counterintuitive to stay out of the thick of battle where most of the kills are, but that's mitigated by keeping the santa suit longer.In my own experience, I tried a couple where I went into the middle of things, got 2 or 3 and then lost the suit. Then, I did AB and just stood at the farm. I made it through all but the last two minutes with the suit on and got 30 in that one go.

IoC really did the trick for me, we went defensive, I cannoned a bit & helped out in the keep, 80+HK | no deaths.
Either IoC really is a godsend for this achievement and that startegy is the best, or I just had an extremely good group, which I don't really believe in a PUG bg.

Kommentar von Thortaur

Sitting in the yellow cannon in strand of the ancients netted me 25+ kills

I'm feral cat/feral tank - that's right, two feral specs.

Merry Christmas to you too, Blizz.

Guide to racking up HKs with minimal risk (the helper buff falls off upon death) to yourself while still contributing:

Arathi Basin/Battle for Gilneas/Eye of the Storm/Twin Peaks/Warsong Gulch: No good advice, if you're getting good HKs in these, you dont need to be reading any of this. If you're really bad at pvp, and insist on doing random bgs, try to follow around the toughest looking tank spec you see, and hit what they hit.
Alterac Valley: Getting together a small team to defend Drek/Vann will produce quite a few hks before you are eventually killed, let the bosses do the work, dont forget to use your slows (the bosses reset upon exiting their base), watch out for Death Grip.
Isle of Conquest: Turrets! are amazing for racking up some quick kills, stay on base defense, if your turret is destroyed, hop in the next one, some turrets can shoot slightly onto the platform if you are being attacked. Make sure you know if the opposing faction has a preference for their tactics so you know which side you should be on (my battlegroup always does the exact same thing everytime, it seems both sides are agreed its just slower otherwise)
Strand of the Ancients: Turrets are still great, but Vehicles are even better since people are forced into a set path, dont forget to use both of your vehicle attacks, 1 is your long range AOE, 2 is a short range cone attack (only things in front of you), with the rocky ground, sometimes you will be tilted at the right angle to shoot people while moving, keep an eye out for these occasions, and dont forget to wait for backup, a lone demo is a dead demo. (It is very possible to get all 50 kills required without dying in one SOTA battle if you are lucky, this one is the best in my opinion)

Also, it may be tempting to do the rest of the achieves while waiting on PVP queues, but remember that you will probably need to refresh the buff after the bg is over, and, for druids, dont forget, you cannot shapeshift while doing this achieve, it will cancel your buff.

Kommentar von baredgara

Since the addition of acct wide achvs, can I accumulate my 50 on multiple characters?

Kommentar von JRRN

If I've already done this on one character, can I do it on another? It still shows up as incomplete on characters I have not done the achievement on, but theirs no way to track it, as it still says 50/50.

Kommentar von JM1120

The easiest way to do this achievement now is to do it on a low level toon. I tried it on my 90 druid, and gave up after two BGs. But since achievements are account wide now (thank you Blizzard, thank you) I just hopped on my 20-something Hunter and breezed right through it. Took me four BGs total. Just a few helpful tips, dying does remove the buff, so ranged classes and classes that can heal themselves or take a lot of damage are best. Changing forms also removes the buffs, so no druids unless you're a healer, and no shammy ghostwolf. The Obsidian Nightwing mount (or any mount that you actually transform into) also removes the buff. I learned that the hard way, and wasted 20 minutes in a BG without being able to advance on the achievement.

Good luck! :)

Kommentar von Myxel

If you insist to try this at level 90 I recommend this ;

Queue for BG and gain the buff from a "PX-238 Winter Wondervolt" machine (Located in Horde/Alliance major cities.)

This buff lasts for 30 Minutes and is LOSED ON DEATH.

I managed to stick close to a group of people and have a pocket-healer on me.

Since the achievement is only HK's you don't have to do the Killing Blows yourself, you could in theory simply watch your opponents die fifty times.

The best battleground to farm this is Alterac Valley, no doubt. You can gain alot of HK's here, taking into concideration you don't loose the buff.

Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Kommentar von Arshley

For warlocks, entering a battleground will pop you out of . Casting Dark Apotheosis again will break the Winter Wondervolt buff.

Consider switching specs if you use .

Kommentar von leoulaikorgath

Easy peasy. Get buff. Que. Profit.

Kommentar von Myriell

i suck at pvp.

but i wanted this achievement, and this is how i did it:

i am a hunter, and have the ability "camouflage", so i got the buff and entered random battlegrounds. i ran along with the largest group i could find, and when the horde attacked, i used camouflage. Because i learned, that u dont have to give any damage, to get the kill.
I know this might be a little unfair to my party, but i am NOT of any use in pvp.

just to let other pvp-noobs like me get a chance to do the achievement.

note: this took my aprox 15 minutes, and 3 bgs!

Kommentar von sinnie

Heya, kiddies! First time posting here, so please be gentle! ;)

If you're still doing "Little Helper," I've got 2 words for you: Alterac Valley. I JUST completed "Little Helper," and it took me 2 days (mainly because I suck tremendously at PVP, and I suck at playing my 90 affliction 'lock, too!).

I read all of the comments here about the best bgs to do for the cheev; I ended up in several IoC battles in which I didn't gain a single HK, despite having faithfully manned (womanned? ;)) the turrets and tossed dozens of bombs and whatnot at filthy Ally throughout.

In Alterac, I was able to glean loads of HKs just via proximity to other players (it felt good to actually be able to help my peeps in melee, as well). It took me about 4 or so Alterac excursions to get the last 30 HKs I needed. YMMV, of course (as I said, I sux0r).

Hope this helps, and good luck! :D

Kommentar von alkemist

Got this done relatively easy doing Isle of Conquest as a resto druid. Being 40 vs 40, heals can hang back and do their job while getting HK's. However as a resto druid, you have to make sure not to use any shape shifting forms. It will break your costume and then it's all over. Took me 2 tries to complete. Found it easier to follow the zerg group that hits the center.

Kommentar von 1142916

wow cant someone just say how to be a winter helper? WE ALL KNOW HOW TO GET HK's!

Kommentar von Xintho

I found an amazing way to farm these. They require the help of a enemy faction member on your realm or someone on another realm if you have a 90 on both factions.

If you know someone on another realm all you need to do is invite them on your opposing faction toon (has to be 90) and just log off.

You friend is to head to the Timeless Isle and go to a graveyard there. The least occupied one seems to be the one due north of the Celestial Court and just to the left of the entrance of the Cave of Spirits.

Have your friend take off all of their gear and just kill them at the graveyard. There is no "honorless" debuff on the Isle so if they just release and wait the 30 seconds or less for the Spirit Healer to rez them then you can just kill them again. You can knock out all 50 kills in the time it takes for just one of your costumes.

There is no need to wait the 2 minutes for the resurrection timer to expire and no debuff to deal with.

Kommentar von Barleduq

I wanted to add this to the page for the Winter Wondervolt machine itself, but apparently there isn't one.

If you have the Dressed to Kill buff on from Blingtron, the machine will not turn you into a santa elf. It's not that you get the buff but your appearance doesn't change -- nothing changes at all.

:(

Kommentar von sorceressdee

Isle of conquest is by far the easiest way to get this. you don't even have to be in a machine, just be a bit cautious and you can get it easily. I got more than 50 in one Isle.

Kommentar von driscollblood

I get high with a little help from my friends...

..and turn into a gnome.

Kommentar von PallyRogue

An easy way I've found to do this is as a priest with the "Clique" addon. I bound my Shadow Word: Pain to a hovercast mouse click and just put the DoT on every horde I passed. Racked up 15 honorable kills before I got ganked and lost my disguise buff.

Happy DoTing

Kommentar von erafune

I can imagine there are a lot of interesting stories surrounding this achievement, but I just thought I might share my story anyway since it's quite an unfortunate one. For the short version - just skip to the end lines.

As a feral/guardian druid, I was overwhelmed by the mechanics to receive this achievement. For other classes this would be just another achievement. For me it was a race against the clock and my own anxiety. I have played WoW for about 24 months spread over 6,5 years, but have only ever played two, yes 2, class specs above level 50. Which obviously is on a single druid. Have never played balance or restoration. Never even shapeshifted into boomkin form. And I find battlegrounds chaotic. I cursed blizzard for doing this to druids. And cursed myself for playing such a limited amount of characters.

I was forced to farm resto gear to be of any use in a battleground. Since shapeshifting removes the "little helper" buff and healer druids are the only non-shapeshifting. Well I guess you can hug a tower cannon as a non-shapeshifted feral and still be of use, but I didn't know about that possibility at the time.
So I manage to farm the honor needed for full honor gear. Not a challenge with the 900 honor per 45 min from faction heroes in Krasarang Wilds.
Got some cheap but functional gems to fill all gem sockets, mostly stamina and resilience for survivial, since dying removes the "little helper" buff until you can reapply it outside the bg. Is it possible to leave/enter any battleground wihout leaving completely? Isle of Conquest didn't have that option.

Yada yada.
So anyway I kept delaying the spec switch for as long as I could. I really didn't want to do this. WIth 8 hours left of Winter Veil I finally visited my class trainer. Now came the tricky part. What abilities would I put on the actionbar? I had to look up some rotation guide to understand what spells to prioritize. Seven or more of the spells were completely new to me. I took quite some time to make a bunch of macros with alt-modifiers to have two spells on each key binding. Tried switching some spells around. Noticed I couldn't self-cast anymore when I used alt as a key modifier. Tried to work around it but ended up deciding it was easier to hit escape to untarget allies and heal myself. Time passed as I tried to get a feel for how to play restoration. 5 hours left, but only 2,5 until I had to get to work. You know where this is going, right?

So I queue up for Isle of Conquest on the advise from this page. I enter the battleground. And notice I forgot to get the "little helper" buff. Bonehead! I look for an option to leave, and obivously it rewards me with a 15 minutes "leaver" debuff. My nerves start to feel a little pressured. 15 minutes later I get the buff and queue up again. As I wait for a few minutes I figure I can go catch some daily quests in Northrend meanwhile. There are portals to the capitals in Dalaran anyway. Bad idea!

As the loading screen for Northrend is underway the music suddenly starts looping. In a horrible, short, glitchy loop. My mouse arrow isn't moving. Waited for two minutes. My computer was officially frozen. Nothing to do but reboot.

Now, did you know that macros are stored server-side? I knew that.
Did you also know that macros aren't stored instantly the moment they are created? Well now I know that.
All the macros were gone, and the ones I had deleted to make room were back. Just wow!
I haven't noticed any problem before with macros reseting if you exit the game without waiting for logout, but apparently it sometimes happens.
Slightly stressed out I queue up again, now with a completely empty actionbar. As I finish rewriting the 2nd macro I get to enter the battleground. Hurray! I have Moonfire, Wrath, Rejuvenation, and Healing Touch on my actionbar. I could just as well have been a feral druid. I finish a 3rd one before the match begins and I run up the tower to hug a cannon and defend the base.

First game passes wihout losing the buff in a single death. I feel like the cannons do almost no damage to players. But I rake in 10 honorable kills through assists. But that took 25 minutes.
Second game I figure I'm really fighting against the clock. I will only have time for 3 more games. And in the middle of the night queue times may bite me in the back.
I aim for some random healing assists out on the field. I follow a large group to the docks. No battle. I follow glaive throwers around. No battle. Don't have the presence of mind to look for another place. Suddenly everyone is fighting the boss and not a horde is in sight. Match ends with a measly one honorable kill. By now I give up the dream of completing Winterhauchengel this year. Well maybe I was still hoping for a christmas miracle, deep down. At least I never lost my buff.
Third game I looked for where horde might be going, and spot a brawl in the center of the map. For what feels like several minutes I try to make myself useful as a healer staying in the back. Eventually we are pushed back and I should have aimed for the safety of a base portal. Somehow our small group gets confident enough to stay outside and poke at the wall aggressors. Which leads to us getting sandwiched and eliminated. Four honorable kills. 15 in total in three games.

By now the clock has ran away from me once again. As usual time flies playing WoW. I briefly consider the possibility to call in sick for my job and devote my life to the completion of this achievement this year. Contrary to popular belief, it's not like me to jeopardize my future over a game. So I let out a sigh, and exit the game with a refreshed "little helper" buff. Want to see if the buff disappers when Winter Veil ends.

Back from work I don't log in for another 15 hours. The buff is still there though. Think I can get 35 honorable kills in 30 minutes and finish Winterhauchengel?
And so the last one of santa's little helpers joins his last battleground for the year. 15 minutes left on the buff.
I stay in tower cannons to avoid any more misfortune, and pray for a massive brawl just outside base to leech assists off.
I got to 26 honorable kills from the opponent's assault, then the offensive evaporated. Silence followed for several minutes, and the buff unfortunately wore off.
Now the magic happens. I had noticed some confusion going on in instance chat. Seemed like there was some drama going on at the opposing base. No longer afraid of death I leapt from the castle walls toward the great unknown.
There was a total stalemate at the opposing base. Full raid of defenders inside. Full raid of attackers outside. Seemed like we controlled the entire map. But they had the graveyard advantage.

So we start fighting. And healing. And continue fighting. And healing. And bring in vehicles to break the stalemate. For what seemed like an eternity. But probably was 10 minutes. Eventually the defense couldn't hold and the general was slain. 86 honorable kills. Eighty-six. Holy mashed potato! And I didn't even die once. If I had had a mere five minutes more on that buff. Or got into the bg five minutes faster, I would have totally made that achievement. I'm sad the instance kicked me out just as I was about to screenshot it.

So basically I missed Kleiner Helfer in der Not - the final piece of Winterhauchengel by a measly five (5) minutes.
It's as if the game itself is teasing me, by first crushing me and then let me get within reach.
I'm so ready for this next year!

As of WoD it would be nice if there was such a transformation machine somewhere in Draenor.

Kommentar von Inconsolable

As of Christmas 2014 druids are able to shape shift and still retain this buff.

Kommentar von MyopicRhino

This will only apply for this year, but I found that this achievement was super easy to get in Tarren Mill vs. Southshore. Since everyone just bunches up in the middle to kill each other, you can just hang back and get your honor kills (this is obviously easier if you are ranged or a healer). It took two tries for me to get to 50, but only because I was death gripped the first time due to trying to simultaneously work on Leise rieselt der Schnee

Kommentar von 1419986

Okay the best way to do this is to make a new character get to lvl 10 and pvp. Stay with your group and just DoT. I made a balance Druid and did this in about 15 mins. If you die you loose the buff.

Kommentar von SgtGrumbles

I had to go through 5 battlegrounds and get deserter because I kept losing my costume every time I would port into the BG. Happened to my friend too, seriously annoying. The costume will just disappear for no reason.

Kommentar von joonjoon819

This achievement is stupid in 3 ways:

1. It forces PvEers into PvP, making for bad gaming experience for both PvEers and PvPers.

2. The achievement progression is not account-wide.

3. The buff is lost on death, which leads to even more forced BG runs, and more wasted time for everyone.

Kommentar von Leviel

Can be done easily in Ashran. Queue for entrance to Ashran pvp if there's a queue and then take the portal to your capital city. When your queue pops use the machine to transform and accept, it will teleport you in and you can join the raid group. Your team's kills will count for you as long as you're nearby and you can pick up kills on your own as well.

Be careful as the buff will be removed if you die. You can either leech the honor kills from the back while snagging easy kills or go off the main path to grab solo kills if you're confident.

Kommentar von 1561518

I get the PX-238 Winter Woundervolt buff. queue for random battleground. and when i enter the battleground, i loose the buff. what am i doing wrong here?.

Kommentar von pakteri

After having this transform, i never wanted to leave it! I loved it so much :)

Kommentar von jlrm365

Purchase the Garrison Decoration Little Helpers.
The Little Helpers set up a PX-238 Winter Wondervolt, which transforms you, in your garrison.

You purchase that decoration with Merry Supplies, gained via seasonal dailies.
Details can be found in wowhead's:
- 2015 Winter Veil Guide
- Winter Veil 2015(video)

Method I used (casual):
- Pick whichever tactic you like, from the comments above, and queue for your favoured Battleground.
- With sound in the background (Esc > System > Sound > Sound in Background), you can do something else while waiting.
- When you hear the sound to join, step into the machine, get transformed and then join the Battleground.
- I avoided getting transformed first, because the wait time meant less transformed time in which to gather kills.

Nice easy-mode tweak(s), to the aforementioned methods.
Have fun.

Kommentar von datNilex

I have tried to do this on my character, for some reason I kept losing the buff whenever I joined a BG. I created a ticket and I bounced on this

I checked your character and see, that it is lvl 93. Regretfully, partly achievements are supposed to be completed by characters 100 lvl, otherwise they lose this buff when changing zone, as BG for example.

I was only level 93 ( started again few dags ago ).

Kommentar von Poison2007

The best way to do this, or the fastest, in my opinion, is to roll a rogue around the 19 bracket. Grab yourself looms, enchants,double elemental force on assassination rogue. Throw yourself in there and get as many kills as possib. HOWEVER, you must prio your survivability over this. keep stealthed near conflict if you have to.

I got about halfway first bg, and I was rusty with rogue. Stealthers are generally better off, unless you're a druid. I'd say 'try not to slack', but you're kind of forced to do that when you get targeted by enemies because they want you gone ASAP.

Bg queues are faster at 100 at the minute, for obvious reasons, but you can get it done fast at the 19 bracket too.

Kommentar von Nemesisfog

Just did this with my mage in ahsran in 5-10 min after 5 isle of conquest where i got 20 kills.
Try to stay with the whole group so you dont get killed and lose the buff. Also try to stay in the mid-back of your group so you dont get focused by the enemy team.
Hopefuly (if you have a good team) you can get the achivment in 5-10 min as i did.

Kommentar von Vulant

I don't think you can get this achievement in battlegrounds anymore, at least not in Isle of Conquest. The moment I join the battleground, my buff goes away. I think you have to get world pvp kills instead.

Kommentar von Aamunkajo

For low level characters and BGs: The helper buff disappears unless the character is on the top level of the bracket. Otherwise the scaling to top level looses the buff.

Tested: On a level 63 character, buff kept disappearing. On a level 39 character, buff stayed.
Same can be seen in other comments & replies: lvl 19 characters are fine, but for instance lvl 93 is not.

Kommentar von Lunichan

If you are experiencing, that your buff/costume is removed, as soon as you enter a BG, you need to be at the highest level of the level bracket in a BG. If you are in a lvl 50-59 BG, you need to be lvl 59, otherwise your costume/buff is removed. I contacted a GM about it and they said it is working as intended. Your stats are increased to match the higer level players, and that automatically removes the buff.

I hope this helps!

Kommentar von Vchunter

Hello, you can still get this after the hoilday is over as long as you have the Winter Vail transforming machine (forgot the name of it) in your garrison.

Kommentar von Clockwerk200x

Does anyone know, or have an idea of how much the Legion PVP changes have affected the overall ease in getting this achievement? I'd love to know, since I'm still working on this one myself due to my penchant for avoiding PVP when I can.

Kommentar von xamo

As of year 2016 you can transform yourself in your main city and then head to the dalaran sewers, try to get a few sneaky kills & when you die, head back to your factions main town (via portal/stone) to transform yourself and so on. Its kinda annoying but saves you the wait time in bgs etc.

*edit: managed to get like 10-15 kills per try yesterday. It actually works really good this way :-)(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Onyx1831##DELIM##

Kommentar von 1442040

I tried the Isle of Conquest method, didn't work for me. Players have wised up, I think, and don't come NEAR those cannons unless they're parachuting in. Instead, on other advice, I went to Arathi Valley. Stuck with the group, played conservative, but wasn't useless, got the 50 HK in one go.

Kommentar von Ne0nguy

Alright, heres a new way to do this in Legion... You won't need to worry about long battleground queue times or dying and losing the costume:

Visit one of the PX-238 Winter Wondervolt Machines to transform into a Little Helper
Go to the Dalaran Sewers and stand in the safe area near the Guard Post
Group up with someone that is fighting in the sewers

You will get credit for all the honor kills that your party member gets, all without being PvP enabled.
It is super easy too, everything is a free-for-all down there so your buddy just needs to jump down there and throw AoE spells to tag a bunch of people. They don't need to worry about finishing them off either because they will do that to each other.

If you can't find anyone to group with, it is still possible to do it in the sewers if you are able to tag people and run away in time so you don't die. If you need to reapply the costume using this method, go to Stormwind or Orgrimmar to reapply. There are portals there that can take you back to Dalaran quickly.

Kommentar von Angolavoom

Temple of Kotmogu is also a very easy way to get this achievement done. Players are focused on orb carriers so it's a lot easier to stay in the background and get your kills. I only had to complete it 2x and got all my kills done :)

Kommentar von Credanas

Beatles reference.

Kommentar von TwoAngel

I just entered "Random BG" and in like 3-4 runs I got the achievement.

Kommentar von Rattems

By far the easiest way to do this achievement is to queue any BG, apply the winter helper costume when the queue pops, then use another costume item like Gamon's Braid or Coin of Many Faces. Follow large packs of people around and get proxy HKs. You'll still get credit for this achievement but the other costume will override the winter helper, removing massive the target on your back for opposite-faction griefers.

Kommentar von ohowjuicy

This achievement is made significantly harder due to the fact that the PX-238 Winterwundervolt buff seems to be bugged for a lot of people this year. As of day 2 of Winter Veil, you can't mount with the buff.

Kommentar von kyle1519

I was able to mount just fine while completing this achievement. No issues whatsoever, tested with multiple mounts. I was able to get this achievement done in two random battlegrounds. For those that aren't PVPers, it's actually very quick and easy to complete. Don't be put off by 50 kills while having the buff. Good Luck!

Kommentar von ExpiredNoodles

Did this in a raid group during a faction incursion. Everyone's kills count so it racks up pretty quickly.

Kommentar von exxcalibur85

You lose your Little Helper's costume when you are in Alterac Valley for Korrak's Revenge and don't get any honorable kills for the achievement.

Kommentar von Murve

Since you can't queue for specific BG's anymore here's a fast method to get this AV:

-bring 2 friends of the opposing faction. (1 of them should have a heal spec)
-meet them somewhere (in shattrath e.g. | may take some time to find a layer you see each other on)
-kill the one who isn't the healer while the healer spams mass ressurect. (takes ~5 minutes for 50 kills with no haste at all)
-profit

hope this helps :)

Kommentar von lunarepiphany

Isle of Conquest is a pretty good idea, but Wintergrasp is a great idea too! I got all 50 of mine in one run by hopping on a gun and firing away.

Kommentar von Passaro

Level 120 BM hunter and I'm also having the same issue of the buff dropping as I zone into the event AV. I've tried doing so while standing on the wondervolt machine but have not yet tried accepting the queue while entering the machine, so we'll see if that works for me! I do know it can be done, as a guildmate got it this year, using only this BG. I have submitted a bug report after a GM responded to my ticket with a vague response that if I wasn't level capped and getting scaled, then it could be dropping, and/or that the buff wasn't meant to persist through death. I don't think they really read my message... >.>

Update: After a few back and forth convos with GMs, the final word was that the buff was supposed to drop going into the event AV and that I should try with any other BG. They never addressed why other players were still able to do it, no matter how often I asked. So I ended up queuing for random epic BGs and got it after 4 (starting from 0/50). So hopefully most of you were lucky enough to use it in the event AV and got the achieve along with your Frostwolf Snarler!

Kommentar von Theshat

So here is my frustration. One member of our 3 man group needs this achievement. So we go get the Little Helper buff, queue for Korraks Revenge in Alterac Valley, and when we go in, the buff disappears off the player who needs it! Totally frustrating.

Kommentar von Prinnyariel

If you are like me and have no experience or idea of PvP I followed a tip from 10 years ago...

Went to Dalaran.
Got the buff that turned me into a Christmas Gnome.
Queued for Isle of Conquest.

I didn't leave the garrison I spawned in. I went straight to the tower to the left of me, up to the top, and mounted one of the cannons on the right. From here you can shoot any horde approaching. If any horde come up the tower and attack I was able to shoot them with the cannon whilst they attacked me. If they knocked me off the cannon before I killed them, I quickly jumped onto another cannon. If you die you loose buff hence staying safe! By sticking to the cannons I had 26 kills on my first BG then repeated and gained the rest in my second BG.

Kommentar von Aevintiri

This does not work in rated battlegrounds. I am not sure if it is bugged right now, but I q'd 3 times and when I load into the bg, the buff goes away.

Kommentar von Rylesh

For those who will try to get this achievement this year...You can also use PX-238 Winter Wondervolt from your Garrison if you have Kleine Helfer decoration active. Just stay inside your garrison and queue up for some BGs and boom, you will get it in no time. :) Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Pihalecsmrti

I did it in 1 battleground. I went to old Dalaran, queued for Isle of Conquest (51 min queue though), refreshed the buff before I accepted, and then went in.

The battle normally starts with everyone going to the middle. Safest bet here is to be a ranged, so just stand behind, and cleave players. It doesn't matter if you kill them, if you do a little damage to them and they die, you get a HK. After the 'middle battle', I was 14/50 already. Then we took on Hangar, and I got like 23/50 there. The rest was just pretty much killing lower people than me (1v1), especially the lost ones. Before we took their garrison, I was 41/50. I got the last 9 kills just before we started killing their boss.

If you don't do it in 1 go, just do it twice, and you'll be fine. If you have high enough ilvl and if you play carefully, this one is much easier to obtain as let's say 'School of hard knocks' for Children's week.

I also finalized my What a long strange trip it's been' this year, so really happy for that!

Happy holidays & good luck ya'll!

Kommentar von DaemoniKira

I found Ashran to be the best BG in which to complete this!
I got frustrated after I died very early in the BGs (in one of them, before I even got more than 3 HKs...) for my first two attempts, but on the third BG I ran tonight --my 2nd attempt in Ashran-- I got the achievement after getting almost all of the 50 HKs from this one alone! Plus, Ashran is just my favorite Epic BG anyway :P
AoE abilities are your best friend for this achievement, of course :)

Kommentar von coolyoshi1907

Hey Blizzard you need to fix this! There is a bug where a buff or something gets used on me and drops the Transformation mid battleground before the battle even takes place. It is so frustrating and this has happened twice to me now!

Kommentar von Taraezor

As I do with World Events... I've made an AddOn, which I uploaded to Curse, and it gives a ton of information about completing this World Event.

If you do care to download then I hope that you found it useful. Players unfamiliar with the layout of opposing capital cities will especially like my BB King information.

Kommentar von bellringr

As of 12/20/2022, I am not losing the Little Helper disguise when I die in a battleground. I don't know if this is a "bug" or the new norm, but it sure made finishing this achievement a WHOLE lot easier!

Kommentar von globalmenace

As a complete PvP ignorant in 2022, I did this for the achievement:

Changed to my Druid (Guardian), for two things: Stealth, and huge health pool as Bear.
Got the Wondervolt buff from the Garrison decoration thingy.
Queued for Random Epic BG --> Was sent to Wintergrasp.
Mainly stayed stealthed and followed one of the groups, no clue what to do actually.
Tried to avoid AoE effects, to not lose stealth.
Only engaged in combat if already lost stealth. This happened 2 or 3 times only.
Got ~90% of the 50 kill points from nearby kills by others while being stealthed myself.
Got the 50th kill point right before the thing was over (1st and only run).

In regards to shapeshifting/dying with the Wondervolt buff:

Shapeshifting (Bear <-> Cat) did not remove the buff from me.
I don't know if dying in the BG would have removed the buff. For testing, I killed myself afterwards (outside of the BG and not PvP), and I did not lose the buff.

Edit/Update: According to this comment, it is correct and normal now that we don't lose the buff when dying. That means, most of my precautions listed above are way less important now :)

Kommentar von Redandginger

Just did this Achievement on my Ret Pally and the buff doesn't go away when you die, so I joined a couple of epic battlegrounds and got it after two battlegrounds. Easier than I thought it would be.

Kommentar von ShadowBrooks

Goes away when you join a Brawl: Battleground Blitz & Brawl: Comp Stomp doesn't have honourable kills. (Just FYI)

Kommentar von wildcosmos

Comp Stomp Brawl - does NOT count towards this achievement progression.

Kommentar von conjuredmanabun

Also can't be completed in PvP Brawl: Deepwind Dunk because the buff goes away as soon as you enter the brawl.
Probably applies to every weekly pvp brawl
