Kommentar von Mourne82

Für den Erfolg muss man die Quests von Sechs-Pool-Ling annehmen und darf nicht mehr Mantis wie im Quest verlangt töten. Die zusätzlichen Diener des Brutwächters zählen nicht dazu. Wenn man den letzen Quest erfüllt hat kann man zur Garnison zurück und ihn abgeben.

Wichtig ist hierbei dass man NICHT auf einem Reittier sitzt wenn man den Quest abgibt, man bekommt den Erfolg nicht wenn man auf einem Mount sitzt, stattdessen wird der Fehler "Das könnt ihr tun während ihr auf einem Reittier sitzt." o.ä. angezeigt.

Zusätzlich kann man den Teilerfolg "Wukaoattentäter" für Einzelgänger und Rebell gleich mit erledigen.

Have Fun

Kommentar von Aristoteles

Thumbs up, Mourne - hol' mir grad Punkte zum Bewerten ;-)

"Have Fun"... DEN hat man SICHER NICHT wenn man beim Abgeben einer der Dailies VERGISST ABZUSITZEN ! Nach Murphy's Law natürlich bei der finalen Fettbossdaily für die man zuerst zur Shado-Pan Garnison zum Abgeben der vorherigen Dailies zurückkehren muss (wenn man keinen Begleiter hat).

Immerhin betrifft das nicht den Teilerfolg "Wukaoattentäter" von Einzelgänger und Rebell, man sollte aber trotzdem ohne Begleiter losziehen weil die nur zu gerne Mobs pullen die man gar nicht töten will.

Agent 47. Stick to the targets.

Kommentar von Paladestar

Make sure that you dismount before you turn in the final quest for the day or you will NOT get credit for the achievement!

I've had to do this three times on the beta to figure this out. The first time I didn't get it and thought it was strange, so the second time I kept a close eye on everything and I noticed that when I turned in the final quest I got an error "You are mounted". So today for the third try I dismounted before turning in the quest and got the achievement.

No idea why it wants you to dismount, it looks like the quest giver casts a spell on you when you turn in the final quest but it doesn't seem to actually do anything.

This is the beta, so it may well be fixed before MoP goes live.

Kommentar von Goldschakal

I earned the achievement with the following quests.
Ein Schlag für ihre Moral
Immer auf die Großen
Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit
Ausräucherung

and the final Quest:
Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

Those five quests seems to be called the "Wu Kao" Set.

I also dismounted before I turned in the last Quest.

Tip/Hint: You should not pick up a Shado-Pan companion since s/he could kill one additional add which would ruin the achievement.
Also, doing a whole set of Shado-Pan dailies without a companion is part of the achievement Einzelgänger und Rebell.

Kommentar von ScoobyDew79

I got this by doing the following:
Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit
Immer auf die Großen
Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze
Ausräucherung
Günstige Gelegenheit: Brutfürst der Sra'thik

I didn't kill any of the adds while killing Brutfürst der Sra'thik (don't know if that matters), and I dismounted before I turned the last quest in.

Kommentar von 463376

I also got the achievement today, it appears either they fixed it or it has to be the exact set of quests below, my previous attempt had Ein Schlag für ihre Moral instead of Fumigation and that didn't work.

Kommentar von Cropz

Turned last quest while mounted, did not get achieve, watch out.

Kommentar von Ravenghast

Just got the achievement while killing the hivelord AND his adds. The adds don't seem to matter. Its the previous two quests (4 bigger and 15 smaller mantid) that seem to be the culprit.

Kommentar von HolgerDK

Note - atm you can not be mounted at any time when you turn in quests. Not at all.

Kommentar von Sabes

I confirm that it is still bugged today (17 Oct 2012) if you try to deliver the last quest while mounted, with the "You are mounted" error displaying.

Kommentar von Lombra

Me I got the error "Can't do that yet" when I handed in the final quest. Was not mounted, so not sure what's up with that.

Edit: Finally got it today.

Don't know what did the trick, but here's pretty much what I did:

Picked Tenwu for companion. (probably irrelevant)
Did not pick up rogue supplies.
Handed in quests while dismounted. (probably relevant, looking at other comments)
Before handing in three of the four first quests (at the camp, not the companion), died and travelled back to Stormwind to get Hallow's End reputation buff. So it seems leaving the zone is not an issue.
Did not have the stealth buff that you have during these quests while handing in the final quest. (possibly relevant, can't remember if I've always had it before) Had not dismissed the companion.

Re-edit: It appears the achievement "spell" is still being attempted to cast on you after you've gotten the achievement, so I've been trying to confirm some of this stuff. Today I had something cast on me upon handing in the final quest, resulting in a small display of blood. The combat log's got nothing, so I'll just assume that's the right spell. I did not dismount when handing in the first four quests, I'm pretty sure that's not required. Had Taoshi for companion. Did pick up rogue supplies. (but destroyed some of them before handing in) Did not leave the zone. Again, did not have the stealth buff upon handing in the final quest.

Kommentar von hobbesmarcus

I can confirm that today (Oct 17, 2012) if you do the achievement properly and hand in all quests while NOT mounted, you will get the achievement.

Kommentar von 360859

October 17, 2012 US-Shadowsong

Turned in the Wu Kao set with the following quests:

Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze
Immer auf die Großen
Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit
Ausräucherung

And the follow-up:

Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

I tracked mob kills with the quest tracker, and did not kill more than 4 elite mantids, nor more than 15 regular mantids.

I did not kill any additional mobs for the 5th and final quest. I was dismounted for all 5 turn-ins. I did not have a companion.

I did not receive credit for the achievement.

Edit:

Today (10/18/2012) I completed another set of Wu Kao dailies, the only difference being I did:

Ein Schlag für ihre Moral

instead of

Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze.

Additionally, I chose a Shado-Pan companion, namely Hawkmaster Nurong.

Following all the same steps as I did last time, I received credit for the achievement. I assume, then, it is necessary to have a companion in order to get credit for this achievement.

I will add, for whatever it's worth, that my companion was quite well-behaved, and did not cause me trouble by aggroing extra mobs or otherwise doing things I did not want him to do. I hope this information is helpful.

Kommentar von Furydeath

I got this tonight do you think killing any add on the last quest count cause when I did it i did NOT kill them only the boss.

Kommentar von Znuff

After failing on this quest over 3 times, I decided to go "@#$% it" and I picked up the rogue companion from the shado-pan garrison - 20 minutes later I had the achievement.

Was always dismounted when I turned in all quests, but it's the only thing I did different from the other days I tried the achievement.

So, if you still don't get it, ignore the "do not pick up a companion" from the previous posters - pick up the rogue and remember to always be dismounted!

Kommentar von ItZMuRdA

I believe that you need the tag on the Swarmlord in order to receive this achievement. I did this today, was not mounted for any turn-ins, did not have a companion, killed the exact number of mobs that I needed for the other quests, and killed the Swarmlord on someone else's tag out of group. As with other achievements (such as One Many Army in Vale), you are given quest credit but not achievement credit for killing special mobs out of group. As such, it is my assumption that you need the tag on the Swarmlord in order to properly receive this achievement, as that is the only thing I can see that may have ruined mine.

I'd just make sure to tag it yourself to be extra safe. Best of luck.

Edit: Had the opportunity to do this again today in order to attempt to confirm my theory, I even used Tenwu (the rogue companion) and turned in the first four quests to him. I made sure to get the tag on the Swarmlord for the 5th quest and when I turned that back in at the Garrison (unmounted), I received the achievement.

Kommentar von 654830

Can anyone tell me if the requirements are failed by engaging in killing any other type of mob, or even a player?
My first time I killed a rare pandaren on the way back to turning in my final quest. No acheivement. (was mounted)
My second time I killed a rare pandaren on the way back to turning in my final quest. No acheivement. (was not mounted)
My third time I killed a hunter who did not enjoy my company on the way back to turning in my final quest. No acheivement. (was not mounted)

Edit: I can confirm that you can do it while PvPing. Killed the same hunter again today and got the achievement. So odd.

Kommentar von Lunyra

Tried it again today. Dismounted EVERY SINGLE quest and still didn't it.

The guy in my party who i did this with did get the achievement. And we both Dismounted etc.

I wrote a ticket about this which is gonna be answered next year.

I earned the achievement with the following quests:

Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze
Immer auf die Großen
Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit
Ausräucherung

And the final quest is:

Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

I got the same pack of dailies before 3-4 days but didn't get the achievement with ''you can't do that yet'' error while also unmounted, but what i did today that i dismounted on the bridge and walked tel the NPC and i waited like 2-3 mins then i returned the final quest while am standing on top of her, dono if that gonna work with u guys but well at least i got it so try it plz and let us know GL :) .

http://imageshack.us/a/img717/3051/72446490.jpg

And btw every pack from Sechs-Pool-Ling called the "Wu Kao" Set, so it doesn't matter which pack you got, it just bug as tons of bugs in MoP.

Kommentar von LittleMess

Okey so I tried all I can think of now.

Using the supplies given by the quest giver and not using it
Go with or without companion. Go with different companions.
Dismounting
Walking towards the quest giver (from the bridge) and wait for a few minutes
Abandon and redo the quest
Different combos of quest

Nothing worked for me. I keep on getting the error-mess "You can't do that yet" and no achievement when I turn in the last one. It is sad to say this, but I think it is pure luck if you get it or not. I don't think there is a "to do"/"not to do".

Screen shot of what my combat-log looks like when the achievement fails: http://imageshack.us/a/img145/7122/silentassassin.png

Kommentar von 784483

Here is what worked for me today:

No companion
Was not mounted when doing quest turn-ins
Got the tag on the Swarm-Lord
Used the quest items (the stealth supplies) without penalty or issue

The hotfixes today may have resolved the issues with this achievement quietly. Best of luck to everyone trying for this one!

Kommentar von ewoch18

Got the achievement today, I even had a few accidents and died twice, this did not affect the achievement at all.

Also you can complete
Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik
~ or ~
Günstige Gelegenheit: Brutfürst der Sra'thik
for the final quest.

Kommentar von odok

So I got the achievement today on my 3rd try, and I've carefully documented everything I did below (orc warrior):

I relogged before picking up any quests
I had done the previous set of Shado-pan dailies (also Wu Kao) after midnight but before the daily reset. I had also killed mantid previously on my successful set by way of the August Celestial (Niuzao) dailies. I did not kill any mantid in the Dread Wastes nor any mantid rare.
I did not, at any point, abandon a quest and reacquire it
I used Taoshi
I never died
I never grouped nor nor received a group invite
I used the supplies (used each item at least once, but I doubt that matters)
Nothing I "sapped" or "distracted" was killed by another player. In fact there was no other player interference in the form of them attacking my mobs or vice verse, including companions
I DID pull extra mobs and later vanished, without affecting the achievement
I did not kill any adds on the hivelord (again, shouldn't matter)
I DID dismount at the bridge (right where you cross over into the Garrison sub-zone), ran up to the quest giver, and waited 10-15 seconds before turning in the final quest. (I dismounted while already inside the subzone, not before)
I turned in all five quests to Sechs-Pool-Ling (i.e. I did not turn them in to Taoshi). I dismounted and turned in the fist four immediately (no waiting or running from the bridge as with the final turnin) and all four at the same time

Dailies done were:

Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit
Immer auf die Großen
Ausräucherung
Ein Schlag für ihre Moral

With the final quest:

Günstige Gelegenheit: Brutfürst der Sra'thik

Not all that different than what I'd done before, nor what others have done. Now here's where it gets complicated.

I noticed that the game gets fussy when your companion despawns/respawns, so I got to thinking that maybe the hiccup with this achievement is tracking whether or not you're in the Townlong Steppes for the entire time (in other words, certain subzones not being counted as inside the zone for the achievement tracking). I used my companion's presence as a test for which zones may or may not be counted. So with that in mind:

I never left the following subzones: Shado-Pan Garrison, Niuzao Temple, Fields of Niuzao, Sra'vess, Kozzok Warcamp, Sra'thik Swarmdock, Sra'vess Rootchamber. (I did not at any point enter The Feeding Pits)
Taoshi DID despawn/respawn while questing (at the pond at Sra'vess*)
Taosi DID NOT, at any point, despawn/respawn after turning in my first four quests. There was also never a point where I had to reselect her as my companion. I followed a path from the Garrison, over the bridge, around Niuzao Temple, partly over the bridge to Sra'vess and then straight over the non-fatigue water to the Hivelord's cave (and back the same way).
I entered a mantid building at one point. I did not enter any "interior" section of the bridges
There was a point while questing where I had to "leave Taoshi behind" and she respawned, but did not die
As mentioned before, I logged out inside the Garrison and then never left the above subzones between the time I logged back in and turned in the final quest (with the achievement)

*NOTE: The pond/lake at Sra'vess will phase away your companion.

My estimation is that (in lieu of pure randomness) the bug could be due to: 1). Crossing a subzone/zone border without realizing it just disqualified you or 2). Incorrect synchronization between your client and the server either by way of not resetting your kill count from previous days, other mantid kills, or from dropped/reacquired quests, or by the game somehow not recognizing you as being on the Wu Kao daily set.

Hopefully this information is useful.

EDIT: I suppose it'd be worthwhile to note how my other two attempts failed.

My first one failed because I was mounted (got the "You can't do that while mounted error")

My second one failed due to the "You can't do that yet" error. I more or less blitzed the set while dodging raid invites, and after a full evening of questing. Only difference in quests was Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze instead of Ein Schlag für ihre Moral.

Neither attempt was very disciplined, and my companion despawned/respawned several times.

Kommentar von 476225

I think I figure it out. I got the daily quests

A Morale Victory
The Bigger They Come...
Sra'vess Wetwork
Friends, Not Food!
Seeking Father

Target of Opportunity : Sra'thik Swarmlord

And I just got it and I turned all my quests not mounted andIi did these alone with none of the shado people with me.

Wondering now if it is that you need to have Friends, Not Food! (and seeking father which works right with that one) to get it.
If anyone else has gotten it did you have Friends, Not Food! and Seeking Father or did you have the Fumigation ?

Kommentar von amgyn

October 25 - got the achievement.

Completed all the quests with only the required # of kills - turned them to my companion - Taoshi - while mounted.
(i even had to kill 1 of the kuachong that saw me stealthed while freeing slaves for the "fish not food" quest)
Got tag on the final elite and killed him alone - didnt kill any of his adds (they just despawn)

Went back to turn in last quest - dismounted infront of the quest NPC - turned it in - 3 seconds later i got the achievement - he does cast a spell on you - not sure what it is.

Kommentar von 57782

all i did was do the dailies kill the 15 mantid, the 4 elite mantid and killed the final daily boss. I did not kill any more then the 15, 4 and the boss. when i went to turn in the quest i dismounted right before the quest giver to be on the safe side because all of the other quest and i got the achiv.

good luck

Kommentar von 787426

One possible thing I noticed that may be of help to all those having trouble with this achievement. When you kill one of the 4 elite mantids, if you have not already killed the two regular ones that pat with it they will phase out and disappear ... however it does still give you credit for killing them! I noticed this on my rogue when I cc'd the two small ones to fight just the elite, and then shortly after it died and the other two disappeared, my kill counter for the quest to kill 15 regular ones went up. So ... if you had already killed 15 regular ones and try to kill an elite without killing the two with it by using some type of cc or using the smoke bombs the quest gives you to escape combat, then your going over because you are still given kill credit for those other two anyway.

So my suggestion is to get your 4 elite kills first, then finish off the regular ones as necessary. Worked for me first time when I did it this way.

Kommentar von galvin

Think this one is bugged, did the one to kill 4 elite mantid. Then 15 mantid. And then the final hivelord. During the mantids I did group and the other guy killed one mantid before I could drop.

So either that one group messed it up, or the achievement is bugged. Guess next time I'll have to wait till 2am or so on a weekday with a lot fewer people. Spent nearly an hour carefully not going over the limit.

Kommentar von Rifkin11

OMFG this is so frustrating! Have decided that before even deciding to do anymore achievement's, that i will come on here and check for bugs first. Have done so many lately that don't complete because of bugs. this would have to be the most ridiculous, we spend all that time being careful and missed out because we didn't dismount to hand the quest in. Not friggin happy blizz, if this was known of in beta, why is it still broken. >:/

Kommentar von sorsa

I dismounted before turn-in. Got the error message "Can't do that yet", and didn't get the achievement. Was very careful to kill the exact number of mantids required.

Did not have a Shado-Pan companion either.

Kommentar von 219808

What I did to get the achievement (took me 3 days/tries):

I had my companion (Taoshi).
I died during the series (so you dont have to stay alive).
I run away from one battle (so can run away if you have to).
I used my companion to turn in the frist 4 quests (so you don't have to return to the base camp).
I dismounted before turning in every quest (all the first 4 and the last one).
I did not kill the adds while fighting the Hivelord.

Also Blizz confirmed that you have to dismout before turning the quests in:

Greetings,

Thank you for submitting a petition regarding this achievement. I am afraid that there is currently a problem affecting this that may cause you to not be granted credit, this being if you are mounted when the quests are handed in. Please ensure that you are not on any kind of mount when you turn the quests in to ensure this does not occur. While this is the most likely cause of you not being granted the achievement I am sorry to say that there are other reports of this not working while dismounted also.

This issue and other reports of this achievement not working are currently being investigated by our development team, with the aim of it being corrected in the very near future. I’m afraid that until the achievement is fixed the Game Master team sadly cannot assist with the granting of the achievement or its sub criteria however.

Regards,
Vealeriuus

Kommentar von kkwydragonflame

This achievement is one of the most annoying things I have done for quite a while.

I have tried everything, every way, up, down, sideways that people have recommended here on wowhead and still have not gotten this.

Until today. Finally, finally it's mine!

For everyone still working on this here's a few tips;

Going in and out of the zone does not matter. (I never left the zone and got the achiev, and my boyfriend left the zone and still got it.)
Having a Shado-Pan companion or not does not matter. (I got the achiev without a companion and my boyfriend got it while having a companion.)
Start by killing the elites, and then the smaller mobs. That way you won't get too many in the end.
The last quest, Target of Opportunity, needs to be tagged by yourself.
Relog before you pick up the quests!
This way any counted adds/mobs from other quests such as Klaxxi dailies are reset before you start Shado-Pan dailies. Now they're not supposed to be counted but this achiev has been quite buggy since Mists' release so it's entirely possible they have been counted to this achiev as well. (This is what gave my boyfriend his problems. The first time he relogged before starting he got the achiev.)
Do not be mounted while turning in the quests!

Now, the achievement is still bugging like crazy so it will probably still be random if you get it or not. But I wish you luck!

Kommentar von 1050841

Just got this achievement today, followed the guidelines put in by kkwydragonflame. However, what I did was:

- I'm a Fury Warrior and I had a companion.
- Do the idols and bombs first. I only had to kill 1 or 2 mantids here. If I get aggro while bombing, I'd run away.
- I did the elites third. One additional tip I can give is to use your Wu Kao Smoke Bombs for these. I'd just focus on the elites and once they're dead, use the smoke bomb to vanish. I didn't use a smoke bomb for the last elite so I can get some credit for the lesser ones.
- By the time I was done with the elites and the other quests, I had 5/15 lesser mantids to kill and just took them out by packs until I had 15. I'd avoid packs that had more than I needed to be safe.

Dismounted, turned in all quests to my companion and got targets of opportunity. I just focus fired the boss and used a smoke bomb to vanish when he was dead.

Flew back, dismounted, turned in the final quest and got the achievement. Good luck!

Kommentar von wargh0st

I can confirm that you are allowed to die and you are allowed to do dungeons while on the quest. I got this today but i had already killed the maximum amount of normal mantid, so i pulled and killed the greater mantid, let myself die and ran to my corpse. After that the dungeon queue for the Headless Horseman popped up. Did the dungeon and came back finishing the last quests. To my surprise the achievement popped up.

Kommentar von tobiashunter

Finally got mine today (13th attempt. Our server, Argent Dawn-US, has only NOT had these dailies 5 total times).

Here is what I did:
I did each quest individually, since I've tried every other method.
I used a companion who spawned/despawned multiple times.
If the quest was "destroy/rescue" one, I did JUST that, did not kill any additional mantid.
For the kill quests, I only killed those mantids (CC'd/ran away when needed).
I dismounted at the bridge and ghostwolf'd up.
Turned in the quests while in ghostwolf (so shape-shifting didn't matter).

And it worked.

Finally.

Now I can not care and just kill things as they come.

Kommentar von Tritox

I followed these two when getting this:

Don't EVER return a quest mounted whether it be one of the initial ones or the last one
Get tag on the boss before killing it - if you want to play it safe, get tag on all mobs you'll kill

I failed few days ago because some other player tagged the boss and I think this was key.

Kommentar von 1051724

Damn this is bugged.
I have tried 4 times while getting the "Cant do that yet".

Today I didn't really bother, got sloppy and pulled/"tagged" a 5th of the big mobs, which someone else the killed before I could get out of combat.

Surprisingly I got the achievement, by not achieving it...

I guess the big mobs might not count at all anymore, after they changed them to shared tag. Or maybe it is simply totally random :)

Edit: Also, I did not tag the last boss first.

Kommentar von 749141

ok here some stuff that would be good to know about this achievement the companions DO NOT count how ever if he kills an extra mantid you will fail the achievement the achievement only counts the lesser mantid (none elite) which means you can kill as many elites as you like and you do not have to worry about killing the adds of last boss as long as you do not go over 15 lesser mantid kills currently the achievement is bugged so that you cannot get this achievement mounted so before turning in every quest DISMOUNT you can die and leave the zone and still get the achievement assuming you meet the criteria for the achievement also you may or not have to tag the boss FIRST (i have not had chance to test this last part)

Kommentar von Horat

This Achievement is not as difficult as you could see from comments on this page.

What you have to do:

Kill exactly the number of monsters needed for a quest to complete.
Try to complete quests first, that do not require you to kill something. Like Ein Schlag für ihre Moral. Avoid killing any Mantid while on those quests.
After that head to the Larger Mantid for Immer auf die Großen
Hand in the quests so far and pick up the final quest.
Complete it, go back, dismount, and hand it in.
Get the Achievement.

What you do NOT have to do:

Don't kill more mantid after the quest objective is complete!
Don't bother about killing anything not tapped by you or anything that is not a mantid. Other players can steal your mobs, it won't count to your kills.
You may group with others. But take care of the quest objectives!

If you however pulled mantid and cannot get rid of them, try to ask another player to tap the mantid. Otherwise use your Wukaorauchbombe to vanish and try again. If nothing helps... die.

Kommentar von 26079

As many have said, do not do the final turn-in mounted. I did every step perfectly except screwed that up and when I did the final turn-in, I got an error message "you are mounted" and did not get the achievement.

I just completed this achievement, without any preparation, some people killed mobs I tagged and probably I killed few more. Looks like it just count killing blows you deal.

Kommentar von Hemingray

Well that settles it. I will never, ever, attempt another achievement without checking Wowhead comments first. I just wasted a good half hour that a couple minutes of reading could have prevented.

And a big "thanks" to Blizzard for not fixing bugs like this more promptly.

Kommentar von 26079

Like Schwarzwachenschutz for Know Your Role, it seems the hidden tracking aura for this one may be Silent Assassin - Tracking Aura - Credit Ready (or any of the five here http://www.wowhead.com/search?q=silent+assassin#spells). I will try to use WeakAuras to track that when I get these dailies next and report my findings.

Update: I did all of Silent Assassin today but none of the methods I tried to use to track the hidden buff showed anything (WeakAuras and a custom macro).

Kommentar von BaZERGer

I just got this achievement without even trying, in fact i used the follower for assistance against the mantid in the dailies at Niuzao Temple, so aparantly the mobs there don't affect it.

Perhaps the real question to this is, when does it count, perhaps you're not getting too many counts, but too few. Killing blows, or initial tap of the mob(since the elites "effectively" doesn't get tapped anymore).
Another could be whether the counter has bugs like some cata quests did in regards to pets(some quests didn't update if pet got killing blow, others if the mob wasn't having you as it's target when the mob died)

One thing i can say for sure though. 5am: plenty of peace to work on it.

Kommentar von 1050978

I got the Achievement today.

* I killed the exact number of mobs. A number of times my companion engaged other mobs so I ran away, jumped off a cliff and used Goblin Flyer to escape combat without killing anything. My compaion respawned.

* I did the bombs and about-to-be-eaten guys first, in case I had to kill mobs.

* I then killed the bigger guys (in case I had to kill smaller guys)

* I then killed the rest of the smaller guys with careful pulling.

I turned in my quests to my companion, and got the Target of Opportunity quest.

I went up to the Target of Opportunity and started to kill it... but someone else got the tag. I finished the kill, mounted up, and came here, only to find that if someone else got the tag, it doesn't count.

Since I was already screwed, I waited above his spawn location until he respawned, and MADE SURE I GOT THE TAG. I did, killed him a second time, and then went to turn in the last quest.

I dismounted as stated on this page, turned in the last quest and got the achievement.

Thus there are two important things I confirmed.

1. That you can turn quests into your companion.
2. That if someone steals your tag on the last Target of Opportunity quest, you can wait and kill him a second time as long as you make sure you get the tag.
EDIT: Also, I can confirm out-of-zone mantid don't seem to matter, as I killed hundreds doing my Klaxxi dailies beforehand. I DID however log out and log back in before doing my Shado-Pan dailies, so your mileage may vary.

I DON'T know if you can just kill another mob if someone steals your tag. I decided not to take a chance and wait until I had the tag on the original Target.

Kommentar von DorianFyre

Finally got it on my third attempt.

The first two tries I did it exactly as it says on the tin. Kill the exact amount of mantid.

I'm not sure what I did different. I died, I was dismounted when I turned in all four quests (to Ling of the Six Pools), I even killed a mantid I didn't even tag for some Horde as they looked like they were dying, and I thought that might have screwed it up.

Maybe it counts killing blows, so it'd be a wise idea to make sure you get the killing blow instead of your companion. I used Taoshi. I also died, so don't worry if you die.

Oh, one more thing!

Before I turned in the last quest, I waited - until all my abilities were off CD, and just long enough for the game to clearly recognize I wasn't doing anything. I don't know if that worked but after reading Odok's comment I thought it wouldn't hurt to try.

So: Wait a while before turning in quests to Ling of the Six Pools, make sure you get killing blows on all the mantid. Whether you gotta turn them in to Ling I'm not sure but it worked for me, so I hope it works for you.

Kommentar von Pevlic

Ok...my luck is officially crap. I just FINALLY got my first set of Wu-cao dailies. Go to do them and I can't use ANY of the items provided to me by the quest giver. I'm in Sra-vess and when attempting to use ANY of them items I countinue to get "you are in the wrong zone" error messages flashing across my screen.

Kommentar von skyburn1

I just got this achievement today and here're the things I did:
I picked up all the quests, supplies and took Tenwu of the Red Smoke with me for the quests.
As I fumigated the places, I would ocasionally join Battlegrounds, so it's a safe thing to do.
I died, once, to the Sra'thik Hivelord, after turning all the quests in to Ling of the Six Pools, NOT TO TENWU.
When I arrived back at the camp, I dismounted and turned the last quest in.
P.S.: The dailies were "Sra'vess Wetwork", "The Bigger They Come...", "A Morale Victory", "Fumigation" and "Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Hivelord"

Kommentar von Alison

So thats what i did to finally get this bloody achievement.

Used cross-realm invite to do quest without other players
Used all items i got in sack (coins, poison etc)
Killed mantids which i poisoned.
Did it without companion.
Turned all quests dismounted and waited about 3 seconds after each turn-in at Ling of the six pools
Didnt use any kind of pet. (shadowfiend to be precise)
Used single target damage, no multidoting.

To finish quests i had to die each time i put bomb, or destroyed idol. The point is not to do any damage to mobs, just let them kill you.
I even got disconnected fighting Sra'thik Swarmlord, so he killed me. He killed me again cause of some unlucky hits.
To sum it up i died 10 times, once because of disconnect.

P.S.: The dailies were "Sra'vess Wetwork", "The Bigger They Come...", "A Morale Victory", "Fumigation" and "Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Swarmlord"

Kommentar von grevios

It only seems to record kills against the standard Mantid NPC mobs that spawn on the island; e.g. I killed the workers that spawn during the Günstige Gelegenheit: Brutfürst der Sra'thik, and I killed a Gefräßiger Kunchong, and still got the achieve.

Kommentar von 556278

So after several attempts at this, I read about the being dismounted thing, and I realised that I was always mounted when handing in (I use a daily quest helper add-on), and I would get a 'you are mounted' error pop up as I handed in the final quest.

So today I remembered to actually dismount - and wadaya know, I got the achievement.

Kommentar von Safrienaer

As a Hunter, I found this incredibly easy to do. In addition to the Mantid killing quests, I had Freunde sind kein Fressen! and Ausräucherung. Everything was done without a Companion or any of the Wu Kao Supplies.

First I did the non-killing quests with the use of Freezing Trap, Camouflage and Feign Death, pet dismissed of course. After that I proceeded to do Immer auf die Großen and Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit at the nearby lake's shore (Eastern shore I found to be the easiest, at coords 22, 51), as there's three of the elites patrolling there and a very nice amount of space to avoid pulling any extras.

Kommentar von vuduchile

I don't know if they've fixed this achieve but today I got it on my first attempt without doing anything crazy such as relogging, not using my mirror images or waiting a while, etc etc. I killed the correct number of mobs without touching anything extra. I turned the quests into Tenwu as i completed, until the last one (Ling obviously) where I dismounted prior to turning in. I put some damage on the workers during the hivelord quest but i don't believe any of them died or if that would even matter.

Kommentar von 812543

Took me 7 attempts and I finally have this awful achievement.

Things I did
-Used NO kind of entity/companion- this includes but is not limited to totems, guardians (fire ele/spirit wolves), non-combat pets, shado-pan companion, Haunted Memento ghost (yes, really). Have nobody and nothing with you.
-I didn't bother with the suplies.
-Killed 3 Ravenous Kuchong. They definitely don't count.
-Did not pull/enter combat with anything I did not kill. This involves waiting around seige weapons/bombing targets until mobs are cleared.
-On the Hivelord, I did not use any kind of damaging ability on the adds, not even splash AoE. They despawned with the boss' death.
-Dismounted on picking up and handing in each quest. I handed in at the quest hub, not a companion.
-Dismounted and ran across the bridge between Niuzao Temple and the quest hub, so there was no question to the game I was mounted, in combat, anything.
-Had not killed anything prior to logging on and doing the dailies.

What of this was necessary, I don't know. The main difference between my 6 fails and 7th successful attempt was that I ditched my Haunted Memento and didn't use a single totem the entire time- not healing stream, searing, nothing. I think totems could definitely be a cause of shaman fails.

Kommentar von stym

As mentioned above, if you do not dismount when turning in the quests, you won't get the achievement. It follows that you should try to get the achievement at the same time as the Wu Kao part of Einzelgänger und Rebell, but if you failed that and try again with the help of your Shado-Pan companion, it's not as hard as it looks.

You just have to get your priorities straight: your companions are good at killing stuff and pulling mantids you cc'd, so do the quests in this order:
1- Ein Schlag für ihre Moral, Zerstörung der Belagerungsgeschütze, Freunde sind kein Fressen! and/or Ausräucherung

Make sure you kill as few mantids as possible during those. Vanish if you can if necessary. Don't put yourself in a situation where you will have to kill a total of more than 11 out of the 15 necessary mantids for Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit. Die if you do, a repair bill is less aggravating than having to try this over again.

2- Immer auf die Großen

If you have 8 or more remaining targets from Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit, kill the adds with the 4 larger mantids. If not, cc the ones you do not want to kill and kill only one add per larger mantid.

3- Sra'vess-Drecksarbeit

Find small groups (2 mantids) and finish this quest at this time.

4- Günstige Gelegenheit: Brutfürst der Sra'thik or Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

The adds from the first one do not count and won't prevent the achievement.
Oh, and don't forget to dismount.

Kommentar von ssimon11

This achievement is heavily, heavily bugged. I have completed it 6-8 times, always picking up/turning in quests unmounted, and always killing only the 4 elites, 15 lesser, and the final boss, and still do not have credit. Some possible bugs that may or may not be related to why:

1) Got aggro on a 16th lesser mantid while killing the 15th and jumped off the edge of the island into the water until he quit chasing me == no credit

2) Ganked by an opposing faction player == no credit

3) Helped kill an elite already tagged by another player == no credit

4) Helped kill the final boss after already tagged by another player == no credit

5) Another player helped kill final boss after I tagged him == no credit

6) Died in first attempt at Hivelord == no credit

7) Turned in quests to companion (both of us unmounted) == no credit

8) Turned in all quests only to questgiver (unmounted) == no credit

9) Fight with elite pulled another mob, died in that fight, then completed quests == no credit

10) Attacked by and killed Kuchong during the free captive quest == no credit

11) Take the Wu-Kao supplies next to the questgiver == no credit

12) Do not take the Wu-Kao supplies next to the questgiver == no credit

In other words, killing exactly the correct number of mantids appears NOT to grant the achievement unless everything else goes perfectly and nothing else happens during the course of completing the quests...don't die, aggro anything else, etc etc. Its frustrating to complete the stated achievement requirement so many times, yet still not be granted the achievement. Even then I'm not sure.

At this point, I don't even know how to complete it.

Kommentar von lieska

I don't know if they addressed the bugginess of this achieve in a recent hot fix or what but I got it today having turned in two of the quests while mounted, aggroing and derping off a cliff to my death and running away from one mantid so that it de-aggroed. Either I am EXTREMELY lucky or they have fixed it. I am hoping for "fixed" as that will allow so many people who've commented here to get the achieve. Good luck! I hope you get it!

Kommentar von 897824

I failed this achievement thanks to a stealthed Wu Kao rogue that killed an extra

Kommentar von Aluminum

This should be deleted from the game, and probably fire someone for the terrible coding on tracking zones/mounted/etc

Kommentar von 218953

Achieved with the following quests:
The Bigger They Come...
A Morale Victory
Friends, not Food!
Sra'vess Wetwork

and I finished with Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Hivelord,

I think this is the key to getting the achievement... 1) Always make sure that you start with the "Bigger" quest, since your ability to limit how many kills will almost certainly be based on this quest and your ability to avoid pulling adds. The best way to do this is to find a spot where there are almost no adds. Then, when you're stealthed, use the green Dart on one of the big guy's guards. Once that is done, move away and then taunt or pull the big guy to you. If you're lucky AND good, you will kill 1/4 and only have 1/16 for the smaller guys before hopping on your evac mount.

In my case, I next had the rescue mission where the valley of the Kuchongs is located. What I did was... a different strategy. I basically flew in, rescued the first guy, then ran like hell to the other two. I actually ignored the guys attacking me, and focussed on getting the quest done. Then... I died. Actually, that's okay, since there wasn't any effect on the achievement if you die. Either way, forget about fighting; just run or die.

Next was the idol hunt. As you may figure, the best thing to do is to carefully circle the idols and see if you can get close enough at some angle, such that you don't pull anyone. Target the statue, then vamoose. Repeate until all four are down.

Finally, the last starter mission will be the mopping up of any lesser mantids. Just check how many more you need, and then turn in for the last mission.

Extra tip: Another way to handle being attacked is, if you've released your companion (or not had any), just use your smoke bombs. The smoke bombs don't actually work if you have a companion, because they keep on fighting on their own, and that breaks your own stealth. So, if you're by yourself, use smoke bombs as needed.

Kommentar von 1064663

I played around with this achievement and this is what I found:

You can pull and not kill. (ie. Totstellen, Unsichtbarkeit, etc)
Companions don't matter, take them or leave them, take them and leave them.
Use whatever you want. The quest items, other items, rafts, etc.
You can leave and return.
Only mobs on the island count.
You can die.
Dropping the quests and retaking them does not reset the numbers.
You can do all the August Celestial quests spawned from Die Verteidigung des Niuzaotempels in the same time with the companion from Shado-Pan.
Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik counts as a kill. Only kill him once.
Shared kills on the Greater Matids outside of a group do not count. If you kill one you get the number towards the quest, but you need to kill another for the achievement.
Contrary to the Greater Mantis number, for some reason if you kill a lesser mantid that someone else pulled, it counts towards your kills, this includes kills done with Ausräucherung
Lastly, dismount before completion Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

Kommentar von luxbot

As per other comments, I dismounted before turning in the final quest but did not get credit. I did not kill anything extra as required.

I originally summoned a companion, but dismissed him on the island before starting work on the quests, so he would not aggro stuff while I was stealthed (feral druid) in shadow meld. I flew back to the quest hub, turned in the 4 quests, but maybe because I was in flight form it broke it. Not sure.

This achievement is frustrating to complete. I'll have to try again another day.

Kommentar von EvolElmo

Just completed this achievement on the first attempt. Just made sure I minimized my mantid kills when taking on the elites. Just kept close track of how many I was killing. And I was dismounted for all quest turn-ins. Got the achievement, np.

Kommentar von 1009411

Was able to complete this today with a companion. Got the achievement after finishing the 5th quest. I also died twice while trying to talk to and release the captive people. Have tried 2 or 3 times before to get this and wasn't given credit.

Kommentar von Yzzami

Did the wu ko quests, only killed the exact amount, shifted out of flight form for every turn in. Did not get it. Could the following factors interefere?

1. Being in a party, even though the party member wasn't participating and was just there as a symbiosis slave
2. Someone else killing mobs I aggro'd via being too close but did not touch, debuff, or attack in any way
3. Someone else fighting the Swarm Leader the same time I was

Kommentar von Deien

I should have realized this; logging out, getting kicked, or getting DC'd all equate to leaving the zone for the Silent Assassin Achievement. /sigh But at least I got Wu Kao Assassins done for Loner and a Rebel. :)

Kommentar von MaBaer

I had read these comments up and down trying to see how to go about it, noting along the way the problems people were having and not looking forward to it. I got the set of dailies I needed today and thought go for it.

#1. I did NOT take a companion
#2. Tried NOT to leave area
#3. I DID take the supplies( not sure if it matters)
#4. I sorta did mine out of the order others did and when I realized that might be an issue, I had already killed 11 of the 15--you all can do the math on my chances.
#5. I found a map someone posted of the exact locales of the 5 huts to bomb, so I could scout n see what I was up against.
#6. Not sure how the supplies figured into this, I wasn't quite sure how to use them, so I don't think I used them properly.
#7. I found a safe place to land, hexed one guy by door, got on flying mount, and dropped in on the front door to place bomb. If I got aggro, I ghost wolfed and took off for parts unknown. Sometimes having to jump into water to break it n not kill them. Got lucky a bit and someone was beating on some n I was able to get to door n leave. At some point in the 5 bombs, I did end up killing my 12th of 15 mantid.
#8. I then had to figure out how to kill the big 4 that are guarded by 2 mantid ea with only 3 available spots. Found one with only 1 guard, hexed the guard and pulled the big guy away n killed him and took off. I had to scout the areas n plan a spot I could hex, pull, kill, and sometimes having to jump into water or my death. I DID manage to get this part done without going over the 15--NOT an easy task and it took me a couple hrs overall.
#9. I DID die several times.
#10. When I got to the bridge just before Shado-Pan Garrison, I dismounted and ran rest of the way to turn in. Turned in some of them n got the final quest thru a pop up offer. Wasn't sure wether to turn in the last one before going off to attempt final boss, but I did.
#11. Got to the boss n saw a bunch of mantid : (. Looked around and if you are facing the boss, just off to the right n sorta back behind his hut, is a safe place you can land and sap/hex one guy n pull boss back there.
#12. Made sure to dismount before hitting the bridge to Shado-pan, but I did ghost wolf to run faster. Turned in the final quest, not knowing and IT WORKED--I got the achievment. It was the first time I had seriously attempted it, BUT it did take me a couple hrs of planning.

Kommentar von link428

If you accidentally kill a mob that is tagged to another player, it will not count against you for this achievement. However, others have stated that you must tag the Swarmlord at the end to receive credit.

Kommentar von Alcanarias

This will get lost here but I just wanted to say this seems to be fixed, turned in half my quests whilst flying to my companion, the other half to him whilst on the ground and turned in the final quest on my mount. I got the credit first time. Logging in and out before hand is a good idea though, I was forced to as my companion was a bit buggy.

Kommentar von Mirouku

This is still bugged.
Killed the exact number of mantid,dismount, no pet, no ally : still get no achievement...

Kommentar von 953363

Well, i got my achiv today. I did it without a companion and my last quest was Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Hivelord. I turned in the quest while mounted on a Jade Cloud Serpent and got the quest.

Kommentar von 335802

Got this today. Dispelling a couple earlier comments:

I got credit while mounted on a Wind Serpent (as I suspected, being on a mount should not matter)
I accidentally killed a kunchong in the feeding pits rescuing the novices, but that did not affect the outcome. The achievement only counts mantid.

The key was sneaking through on every objective that did not involve kills first, then focusing on the larger mobs because they're always walking around with smaller guys. Once the big guys are taken care of, mop up the rest of the smaller mobs needed for the quest, kill the target of opportunity, and head back to turn in for your achievement.

Kommentar von 710951

Tried this two days in a row, still haven't got it.

Kommentar von OneLonelyPickle

Stupid broken achievement. Didn't kill a single extra mantid, and I didn't get the *!@#ing achievement. I'm tired as $%^& and spent a lot longer than I should have to get this, and Blizzard's fail ass system glitched.

Jesus Christ, they might as well give you the title "Glitch-Master".

Kommentar von mythinc

didnt get rhe achiev....killed the exact amount of mantids but did not receive achiev....there is no fine print to this achiev so it shouldnt matter if you are mounted when you turn it in or if your holding your left nut with your right hand, or if you have a companion licking your right buttock while while killing the so called mobs as long as you dont kill over the aloted amount right?

Kommentar von pilgrimz

After more tries than I care to count where I did everything exactly as required but didn't get the achievement, I looked at which quests were available today and saw the following set:

A Morale Victory
The Bigger They Come...
Sra'vess Wetwork
Fumigation

Now I have never before received this exact combination when attempting the achievement. And when I saw they were available I realized there were a number of other Wowhead users who did get the achievement and posted this exact same combination. On a whim I decided to try it out, doing exactly what I have always done (and failed) to get the achievement: kill the big mantids first, kill exactly as many small ones as I still need, turn in the 4 quests to my shado-pan companion (always Hawkmaster) while dismounted, tag the hivelord and get the killing blow (though in this case I did NOT get the killing blow, so this criteria is again probably not involved), turn in the final quest several seconds after being dismounted, the whole works. The only difference is that, this time, IT WORKED. I finally got the achievement.

I don't know for sure if the exact quest combination makes any difference, but I can personally attest that all the other criteria that have been presented in these comments (must be dismounted, must not leave the area, must tag and have killing blow, must have/nothave a shado-pan companion, etc etc etc) are NOT enough even all together. Which quests are on offer is the only thing that differed from every other try. If you manage to get credit while doing the same combination of quests when you previously always failed then please upvote this. Maybe the achievement is still buggy and the only way to get it is to try over and over and over again, but if the quests are really the problem then everyone who should've gotten the achievement 4 months ago should see this.

Kommentar von Glorious

Completed this achievement on my 6th attempt. Every time I turned the last quest in (having exact number of mantid killed, no extra pulls, no tagged mob pulls, no follower pulls etc), I got "Can't do that yet" message. I tried turning the quests in both on a follower and on an original quest giver, every time getting the same error message. What I did today was:

1) Picked up the quests and didn't abandon any of them at any time.
2) Took a follower - Hawkmaster Nurong, since he's the only one of the rogues left for Getting around with Shado-Pan achievement for me.
3) Travelled to Sra'vess.
4) I had a vanity pet summoned - Minfernal - dismissed him, it may sound ridiculous, but it's THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENT from my 5 previous attempts!
5) Completed all the quests pulling the exact number of mobs needed, Sra'vess wetwork being the last one I completed.
6) Turned in all the quests at once to my follower - Hawkmaster Nurong.
7) Got the final quest, completed it, mounted up and travelled to Ling.
8) Dismounted, waited for my follower to dismount and turned the quest in - got the achievement despite not really caring about getting it anymore.

Probably the pet thingie is not really an issue and it's just bugged as nothing in this game and you just have to try over and over to get it, but still might help some. Good luck on your achievement.

I tried obtaining this achievement four times. It was the fourth time that the achievement was granted even though the previous three attempts met the exact criteria. Here's a summary of my trial and error:

First Attempt: No companion. Maintained Choose a Shado-Pan Companion debuff for the Loner and a Rebel. Upon turning the quest in, the user interface displayed error text reading, "You can't do that right now". I was dismounted upon turn-in.
Second Attempt: No companion. Same debuff (obviously) This time the focus was not on completing the quests without one, but ensuring there would be no collateral damage as a result of a companion attacking more than the required number of targets. Same error occurred upon turn-in.
Third Attempt: Chose Hawkmaster Nurong. Turned in quests individually to him throughout progression. Mistakenly dismissed companion before final quest. Exact number of mantid were slain. Same error occurred. Was dismounted.
Fourth Attempt: Chose Hawkmaster Nurong again to see if results could be duplicated. This time achievement was granted upon turn-in. Maintained companion through final quest and turned in quests dismounted.

Some considerations may be:

Can you duplicate the results (achievement objective) with the same companion?
Can you duplicate the results with different companions more than once?
If the same results are duplicated with different companions and the achievement is obtained with a specific companion, that may indicate one bug related to companionship
Have you duplicated the results without a companion multiple times such as turning in the quests mounted and dismounted? This may indicate a random anomaly and one of the times you turn it in either mounted or dismounted the achievement may activate. Conversely, it may never activate.

If you've attempted every possible version of completing and turning in the quests and have not received your achievement, the best that can be done for now is to continue to submit bug reports in a productive and informative manner that explains every unique situation so that the QA/Dev team can narrow down the hot fix.

Kommentar von lauravicious

Didn't get achievement today, you still have to dismount first. Anyone know if the adds spawned by the hivelord count? I purposely dismissed pet and single targeted him while disengaging and running away. It would be nice to be able to just burn him.

Kommentar von Grozuul

Confirmed as of 5.2, you can turn in the final quest while mounted. I read all the comments but I was totally distracted when I turned it in and I was mounted, but I still got the achievement.

Kommentar von Silvansaria

I just tried this ACH and didn't get it - even though I ONLY killed the required amount and turned the quest in while NOT mounted.

HOWEVER - I didn't wait until we got back to camp - I turned it in right then and there. At one point during a fight I had too many join in - so I ran off the cliff into the water to try and stop the attack and reset the encounter so this *might* have caused it...

Not sure exactly...
-----------------------------

7-11-2013
Okay so I tried this AGAIN. This time without a companion and again - ONLY while killing the exact number required. I died once during one of the encounters. After turning in the last and 5th quest - I got the ACH.

No companion (I mistakenly thought I could get "Loner and a Rebel" as well but I didn't meet the criteria)
No Mount upon turn-in.

Kommentar von togahsisoka

Got this achievement on first, I did not use a companion for the first set of dailies and only invited one along for the boss. No problems getting cheevo after turning boss quest in.

Kommentar von 1142220

Have done the quests over 4 days, every day ONLY killing the exact adds, I've returned while not mounted, I have not taken a companion, I've even gone as far as not using any AoE to keep critters from dying and possibly ruining this achievement. It still won't pop. Been waiting for 2 days for a response from a GM.

Kommentar von omglaserzpewpew

I forgot to dismount before turning these quests in... still got credit. The issues that everybody has been having seem to be resolved.

Kommentar von Valkeyrie

If you are going for the achievement Der Shado-Meister this achievement and all the other meta achievements must be done on the same character.

Kommentar von vorka

A quick advice to lower the odds of screwing it:

1. Do not take a companion.
2. Do the demolition and trainee quests first - do not fight back anyone at all.
3. Do the elite kills first - they are accompanied by 2 lesser mantid which count.
4. Do the lesser kills last - pull the exact number of mobs needed (you can pull one by one).
5. Turn the quests at the garrison.
6. Final kill - beware to pull only the quest mob.
7. Fly to he garrison and profit.

Kommentar von HierarchKhas

Scuttler's Shell is extremely useful

Kommentar von Pastelgore

I got the achi for the first try, I don't know if it's fixed now or not but what I did was watching out for the number of mantids I killed. It's easy, if you start doing all the other quests despite Sra'vess Wetwork, since this one counts for you the mantids killed.
I only used smoke bombs and feign death when too much mantid attacked me. Damaging them however seemed not to count if they evade after all.
I can assure that you can kill the Kunchong beasts when doing Friends, Not Food.
I did not choose any Shado-Pan companion though, neither I used the other Wu Kao supplies (except the smoke bomb, as I mentioned).
I started in a party with low level players, but then left.
I dismounted however when turning in all the four starting quests and then the Hivelord thingie...
...but did not relog, dismount, just flew there and counted the mantids with the help of one of the quests.

Kommentar von Fenbrae

I have tried doing this 3 times and i still haven't got credit.
All three times, i killed the exact number of mobs required to complete the dailies.
The first time i took a companion (didn't register), second time i only used my pet (didn't register) and the third time i went completely solo (didn't register).
I really wish these achevements would work right, especially the ones that require you to be extremely careful and specific.

EDIT:
12 days later, i have finally succeeded in getting the achievement.
The comments placed here helped me out a lot. It turns out that there are certain "hidden" criteria that will @#$% you over.

- I did take a companion (Tenwu of the Red Smoke)
- I did the daily to kill the elite mantid first and did the one for the 15 small ones last.
- I did overpull at one point and used smoke to vanish. It did not mess with the achievement.
- I did the four initial dailies, cashed them in at the camp (NOT at Tenwu), picked up the fifth one and also cashed that one in at the camp.
- I dismounted at the bridge leading to Niuzhao Temple and walked all my way to the questgiver. I waited 10 seconds before cashing in the quests.
- I was sure to have the tag on the mob during the final daily, not fighting one that was already in combat.

I'm not saying that all these criteria made me succeed, nor do i say that this is the only way to do it, i'm jsut saying this is how it worked out for me.

Oh, and i want to thank the random human Paladin who pulled all of the mantid away from the siege engines and died because of it, so that i was able to swoop in and bomb them without pulling anything.
If i ever encounter you in a battleground, you will die last.

Kommentar von aislin2476

This thing is still bugged as hell. I had given up on it for over a year because it NEVER worked, but I hoped the dev team might have fixed the bugginess by now. But nope, they haven't. I made sure to only kill the exact number of mantid required, using the quest counters to make sure; I didn't kill any kunchongs or any extra mobs, and I didn't use a companion. Also, I was dismounted when turning in all quests at the camp. When I turned in the final quest, I got a "You can't do that now" error message and no achieve. I hate these achieves with stupid hidden auras. The achieve needs to state EXACTLY what you need to do to get it, not have a bunch of random, SECRET criteria for success.

Kommentar von AchillesJG

I found using a Scuttler's Shell from Timeless Isle very helpful here. Turned my Ret Pally into something resembling a Stealth Rogue!

Kommentar von Wheels35

Followed exactly as described before, but just for good measure I will write my exact steps.

No companion was taken.
Flew mounted to the zones.
Used cc's (Void Tendrils and Psychic Scream as Shadow Priest) to get away from accidental agro
Flew back to Ling of the Six Pools, instantly turned in.
Flew straight to my boss kill w/o aggro'ing anymore mantid. Killed and flew back.
Demounted, waited 10 seconds, turned in and Achievement popped fine.

Kommentar von Jirki88

Since I've seen plenty of posts stating what doesn't work and so on, I'll share my experience as I just got the achievement without a problem.
I'm a Destro lock, and during this quest I only briefly utilized my Voidlord before dismissing him, to avoid any accidental aggros. I did not use any Shado-Pan companion, nor did I use the supplies provided.
I got all four idols, it's useful to come flying and land right beside them, for the first three I killed two Lesser Mantids each, for the last I killed one and used Fear on one, so I could escape into the water. The Greater Mantids were a problem too, but I was lucky - first I found one patrolling along the northern road that only had one lesser with him... then I killed one by pulling him into the pond, killing him and one add and Fearing the other add so I could get away. Then back to northern road, killed the patrolling Greater who now had two adds, killing one of the adds and then escaping straight north into the water, losing aggro. The last Greater was right on the northeastern part where the road goes up on the hill, and he didn't even have any adds.Or atleast none that aggro'ed. So by then, I even had to kill two more lessers.
Killing the last boss isn't difficult though - just land on top of his head and nuke him (yeah, if you can't just nuke him, you shouldn't actually be trying the ach tbh). Made sure to dismount and wait two seconds or so before handing the quests in though, better safe than sorry...!
Also worth noting is that when I did the "Free the Shado-Pan trainees" I killed all three Kunchongs, so they make no difference for the ach. It's easy to avoid all the lesser mantids up on the ridges if you just walk where the Kunchong charges.
All in all - it's doable if you're just careful, scout around and use hit-and-run tactics. The Greater Mantids pose the biggest problem but there's a few spots, mainly along the northern road, that is ideal for that kind of hit-and-run.
I would however say that there's some times that is better than others - last time I tried this I did it in the evening, and I recall quite some chaos as people pulled in different directions and lack of spawns. Now, however, I did it around 4.30-5.00 am (CEST), which was pleasantly solitary.

Adding some data:

- No companion.
- Killed 2/3 Kunchong and one small Kunchong while releasing prisoners.
- 4 statues and 8 lesser defenders, plus one extra, quest at 9/15
- One big bug and 2 defenders, killed big one first. 1/4 and 11/15.
- ENTERED A BATTLEGROUND. Didn't die, won, but definitely left the area.
- Big guy respawned before his guards did. Pulled and killed. 2/4 and 11/15.
- 2 more big guy packs, 4/4 and 15/15.
- Flew back. Handed in personally. Got boss quest from pop up.
- Did boss, flew back.
- DISMOUNTED, waited a few seconds, turn in. Achievement.

Have done pretty much the same stuff before. Dismounting may be an issue, first time I've dismounted and chilled a few sec before handing in boss quest. Never jumped in water, but did fly over water to/from quest giver. Seems more luck based than anything. Just glad its out of the way.

I never see this quest giver giving out dailies. Is my luck just very very bad? Ive done every quest in Pandaria btw.

A quick advice to lower the odds of screwing it:

1. Do not take a companion.
2. Do the demolition and trainee quests first - do not fight back anyone at all.
3. Do the elite kills first - they are accompanied by 2 lesser mantid which count.
4. Do the lesser kills last - pull the exact number of mobs needed (you can pull one by one).
5. Turn the quests at the garrison.
6. Final kill - beware to pull only the quest mob.
7. Fly to he garrison and profit.

I pretty much did exactly this but one deviation: I lagged and died when I was doing a halo jump from above when turning in the last quest. Ran back to body and handed in but no achievement get. Also got hit with "You can't do that yet"

Wow, this achievement has planted a new OCD seed deep in my heart XD

Kommentar von Khold

Did this quest every now and then since MoP. Finally I got the achievement on completion

Quests I did:

After completing those, I got

Günstige Gelegenheit: Schwarmfürst der Sra'thik

I played on a Druid, killed only what was required for the quests & went out of flight form every time I returned quests.

Good luck

I handed in all five quests while being on mount and it went fine, got the achievement =)

Kommentar von Detamble

This achievement was obtainable in 9.2 with no issues. I encorporated the strats others listed, such as not being mounted for quest handin, handing in at the camp and not with the companion NPC, and carefully staying within certain subzones. The gameplay itself was very easy. Just complete the quests first that are objective based, and then complete the kill X mantid quests, to make sure that the incidental mantid kills you get from the objective quests don't put you over kill count.

No problems, the achievement popped on my first try.

Kommentar von Ignissimo

Achieved this one today without any problems.

Kommentar von Ironic42

I finally accomplished this today, found that the easiest way is to just wait until you have the following combination of tasks:

-Sra'vess Wetwork
-The Bigger They Come
-Friends, Not Food!
-Destroy The Siege Weapons!

This makes it really easy because for Friends, Not Food!, it's possible to just fly in and land behind each of the prisoners and free them without aggroing anything, and the same is true of the siege weapons for Destroy The Siege Weapons!. In fact, for Destroy The Siege Weapons!, it's even easier than with the prisoners, because with the siege weapons, there's no debuff that knocks you off your mount if you don't move quickly, so you can plan where you're going to land to plant the bombs.

As indicated in other comments here, for the kill quests, do the elites first, since they're accompanied by 2 non-elites each, so once you have the 4 elites done, you'll also have 8 non-elite kills. After that, you can wander at your leisure and rack up the other 7 non-elites you need - they usually cluster together in groups of 2, but there are a few that wander on their own, making it possible to get the odd number of kills required.

Once those four are done, you get whatever boss kill quest comes up and just go do it, there's never anything next to the bosses, so swoop in, kill, head home.

Finally, I did follow the advice in other comments here and dismounted before turning in the quests. Not sure if that was necessary, but it only took the few seconds out of my day that were required to re-mount, so why not?
