Highmaul
Flame On! -Defeat Kargath Bladefist in Highmaul without destroying any Fire Pillars on Normal difficulty or higher.

Hurry Up, Maggot! – Cause the Butcher in Highmaul to slay 6 Maggots before defeating him on Normal difficulty or higher.
Best way to do this was just spam the macro as soon as the fight starts, then have the tank drag Butcher over to where your marked maggot is and turn him away from it. Then have your dps group that will be soaking cleave stand on the maggot. As soon as the cleave goes off and kills the maggot, spam the macro again. It’ll find the next maggot even from across the arena. Rinse and repeat until your macro doesn’t find anymore maggots, then you can kill the boss and ding the achievement.
The macro posted by Sameri was super helpful. Here’s the macro again:
/target Maggot
/script SetRaidTarget(“target”,8);
You just need one person who is responsible to set this up.
Helpful tips:
1. You can’t taunt or grip the maggots in, the only thing you can do is target/mark them. They’re immune to player damage or attacks. You have to run Butcher to them for this achievement.
2. You can’t just wait for bounding cleaves to kill the maggots, you’ll run into enrage timer before he does 6 that way.
3. You might want to bring extra heals since all the running around for the maggots will prolong the fight more than you’re used to and there’s no dps pressure since you have all that extra time.
4. This is obvious, but don’t push him below 30% until the last maggot is killed.
5. Super important – if you’re tracking the achievement it will not turn yellow when the 6th maggot is killed. I just ran around the arena to make sure the macro didn’t pick up anymore maggots and then we went ahead and killed the boss and got the cheevo. I’m pretty sure one of his cleaves killed two maggots.
6. We saw maggots in both pools of water (north and south) and against the west wall near the ribs. Be prepared to run pretty far to get each maggot cleaved down.
More Like Wrecked-us – Defeat Tectus in Highmaul by destroying all eight Motes of Tectus within 10 seconds of each other on Normal difficulty or higher.
you need to zerg the boss. he will get to 1 health and he won’t die until he casts Tectonic Upheaval. He’ll split into 2 smaller versions of himself. Repeat the kill. He’ll then split into 8 versions. Kill them all at the same time and you’ll get the achievement (after he reassembles.) DON’T stand on the swirly things. They’ll one-shot you.

A Fungus Among Us – Gain 15 stacks of Burning Infusion and then defeat Brackenspore in Highmaul on Normal difficulty or higher.
This achievment is not personal
Someone – Pick up a flamethrower gun before starting the fight (yellow arrow points to it on the ground). You’ll get an extra action button and a meter will pop up.
2. Damage the boss below 50% health. Green moss will start creeping in from the edges of the boss area; let it grow until it fills almost the entire room.
As you wait, feel free to kill any adds that spawn since they don’t affect the achievement. The moss will also creep much faster if the boss is lower health.
3. Once most of the room is full, start hitting your flamethrower button repeatedly while running towards moss patches on the ground. Each patch consumed will
give you a stack of Burning Infusion. After hitting 15 stacks once you can kill the boss with any number of stacks and you’ll get the achievement when he’s dead.

Brothers in Arms –Defeat the Twin Ogron in Highmaul without their Disposition ever exceeding 30% on Normal difficulty or higher.

Pair Annihilation – Defeat Ko’ragh in Highmaul with fewer than 15 Overflowing Energy orbs touching the ground or players without Nullification Barrier, on Normal difficulty or higher.

Lineage of Power
Empower and defeat a Fortified Replicating Gorian Warmage and then defeat Imperator Mar’gok in Highmaul on Normal difficulty or higher.
In order to empower each add you have to drag them to the purple mist spawned when Mar’gok channels during each intermission
1. You’ll want to push the boss to the intermission, and then run to the blue circle for the Gorian Warmage that spawns closer to the boss (to the right if you’re looking at the mages from the center of the room).
2. Using the circle at the Gorian Warmage’s feet as a guide, you want to stand in or near the edge of the mage’s melee range and watch his cast bar.
3. When he finishes a cast, run towards the cloud under the boss. The Gorian Warmage should take one or more steps in your direction if you time it right. Once you have the timing right, just repeat for as many cast intervals as you can until he’s in the cloud.
4. Once he’s in the cloud, be careful not to drag him out of it until the intermission is over. Kill the other adds including the other Gorian Warmage.
5. When the intermission is over, check that he has the buff and begin moving him to the area for the second cloud BEFORE you deal any damage to the boss. It’s a lot easier to get him into place if you don’t have to worry about the intermission time window and adds.
6. Once he’s in place, DPS the boss until the final intermission starts. Kill the adds that spawn, being careful not to kill the boss or the one Gorian Warmage you’ve been dragging around. When the intermission ends, check that the Gorian Warmage has both buffs (Fortification and Replication) before killing him. Once he’s dead, you can finish the boss.

Blackrock Foundry

The Iron Price – Collect 3 Pristine True Iron Ores and then defeat Gruul in Blackrock Foundry in Normal difficulty or higher.
Upon entering the room where Gruul is, pan your camera towards the ceiling. In a small triangle formation around the center ring of the ceiling, there are three clickable ores. These are the Pristine True Iron Ores you need to collect for the achievement. Of course, they’re all the way up there and we have no way of flying, so how do you get them?
Simple, get a lift from Gruul…specifically, his overhead smash ability
Begin fight, place Gruul at the entrance
4) Spin him around so he is facing towards the Pristine Iron Ores.
5) Stand close to him, putting yourself in between Gruul and the Ore, but don’t move closer to the ore until he begins his Overhead Smash. And don’t move closer to the ores so that Gruul starts moving towards the middle. All you want to do is just stand between Gruul and the center of the room.
6) Once Gruul begins Overhead Smash move closer to the ore/center, and you’ll notice Gruul stays in the same position during his cast. The further you are away from Gruul, the higher you will jump into the air.
7) This will take practice to find the right spot to take off from, but try it a few times and you will get it.
8) While flying through the air, and high enough, grab a Pristine Ore. Spam that right mouse button as you get in range. Rinse and repeat 2 more times for the others. After heading back to the ground, simply run to the edge of the room again, and spin Gruul around so he’s facing the center. Wait for the next Overhead Smash.
Once all 3 Pristine Iron Ores are acquired, nuke Gruul.

He Shoots, He Ores
Deposit the Volatile Ore in the Ore Grinder, and then defeat Oregorger in Blackrock Foundry on Normal difficulty or higher.
We had 3 people assigned to throw around the ore, while the rest kills crates. Don’t kill crates too fast, or Oregorger enters phase 1 again. To receive credit for this achievement you need to be in phase 2 or you failed the credit.
– There is a hole in the wall on the left of the entrance, which becomes clickable if you have the ore in your hands. You have to stand fairly close to it and CLICK the hole (it becomes an object). Keep in mind that if you get hit by Oregorger while carrying the ore, it will be destroyed.
– If the ore gets destroyed, there won’t spawn a new one, so you have to wipe. The range of the throw is about 15 yards.
– If you track the achievement, it will turn white when you received credit, you are then able to kill the boss for the actual achievement.

An easy way to do it is to have three individuals with raid markers on their heads, each of whom has a specific target to throw to. Gives time for people to reposition with minimal throwing downtime. As for keeping the boss away, we had the ore team throw it down through the middle while the rest of the raid would kill single crates along the outside to keep the boss rolling around there until we reached the range of the ore grinder. This made it extremely easy to pull off.

Stamp Stamp Revolution – Defeat Hans’gar and Franzok in Blackrock Foundry without any raid member being crushed by a stamping press on Normal difficulty or higher.
Fain Would Lie Down – Defeat Beastlord Darmac in Blackrock Foundry on Normal difficulty or higher after causing him to mount each beast first:

The Steel Has Been Brought – Defeat Flamebender Ka’graz in Blackrock Foundry without killing Aknor Steelbringer on Normal difficulty or higher.

There’s Always a Bigger Train – Engineer the ironic demise of an Exulting Wind-Up Train Wrecker in Blackrock Foundry on Normal difficulty or higher.
You will need to place the Toy Train Set on the train tracks during the encounter and use the Wind-Up Train Wrecker. After it destroys the Train Set he will turn into an Exulting Wind-Up Train Wrecker and dance for 10 seconds. During these 10 seconds the train from the encounter will need to run over the Exulting Wind-Up Train Wrecker.

First, the first train that comes through the track comes from the closest line to the entrance you came in from every single time (the patterns are fixed), so setting up there on the pull is an easy way to do this.
Best time to place the wrecker is the moment the door opens

Ya, We’ve Got Time… – Complete the Blast Furnace encounter in Blackrock Foundry after defeating all four Primal Elementalists within 10 seconds of each other, on Normal difficulty or higher.
Begin Encounter and kill stuff until the furnace has been bombed and the Elementalist phase begins.
3. Four Primal Elementalists have spawned.
4. Reduce EACH elementalist to about 20% health, using your weakest attack. (If you are too powerful and one shotting these, try putting on a lower level weapon)
5. Once they all have around 20% health, kill all four within 10 seconds.
6. Kill Boss.

Would You Give Me a Hand? – Defeat 10 Grasping Earth hands within 5 seconds and then defeat Kromog in Blackrock Foundry on Normal difficulty or higher.
To get this achievement:
1. You must have 10 or more players.
2. You can die, however, you, yourself, must have tagged Kromog.
3. You must kill all of the hands within 5 seconds
4. You must kill Kromog

You cannot:
1. Burst him down without killing any hands
2. Go through multiple phases to get more hands to kill
3. Kill hands but wipe to Kromog

Be Quick or Be Dead – Defeat the Iron Maidens within 10 seconds of each other in Blackrock Foundry on Normal difficulty or higher.
Ashes, Ashes…  Defeat Blackhand in Blackrock Foundry after catching 20 Falling Ashes on Normal difficulty or higher.
The ashes that needs to be collected can be found at the very edge of the platform in Phase 3. It is the “sparky” things falling from the ceiling.
As of today, 6/2/2018… the ashes fall all over the platform.
weak aura which tracks the ashes you’ve collected and writes the player who collected them in the chat.
