You can hit more than one person at a time. Good places would be Tyrhold, Elemental Storms, Grand Hunt, the pvp world quest boss area

If you wish to get this achievement done in around 30 minutes have a battle.net friend hop on a player of the opposing faction, place a skull on their head (Target Marker Icon or /run SetRaidTarget("target", 8) . Chose a nice open area, I suggest in the waking shore, a large body of water you can fly back and forth, and this way, you can use Whirling Surge into them (without your visuals obstructed by trees or other clutter). Every 30 seconds on cooldown, using this method, I was able to get all 50 in around 30 minutes.

Spot I used to farm this, was "How to Train Your Protodrake" world quest. Lots of players in a small area using their dragons to carry protodrakes to the quest spot. Pretty easy to park on a cliff and dive in for the dismount.

Primalist Future is great for this with the updrafts keeping you up and multiple events going.

Also, the title is account-wide.

Comment by Uludil

Does the enemy have to be airborne? or can you dismount by hitting players mounted but on the ground?

If so, there can be loads waiting for the war supply crate drop too.

The best spot I found for farming dismounts, by far, is the Talon Toss: Shooting 101 WQ. A compact area, full of unsuspecting dragonriders moving slowly to aim their tosses, and it partially overlaps with a FFA zone? What's not to love?

If anyone else has the same idea, though, or someone wises up to your shenanigans, it's a mighty far way to fall should you get dismounted yourself. Be sure to bring a class that can avoid fall damage. Warriors are a great option, since depending on your angle of momentum you can often Heroic Leap right to one of the WQ platforms and avoid the wait of falling all the way down.

Why do they add achievements to the game that are only feasible by farming oneself on an alt account or a friend?

Ugh 50 is way too much of a grind. Though decent chance that the achievement is bugged and it isn't carrying the 25 from the preceding achievement meaning you only have to do 25 more. Then again this is Blizzard and they do love random grinds and ignoring achievements...(cough A Champion's Tour: Dragon Isles cough). Which sucks because Dragonriding is super fun. Tumbling players is super fun. Doing that 50 more times isn't fun and makes it boring.

Anyways, as the other commentators pointed out FFA areas are nice because you have more targets, as well as hot spot zones (e.g. Primal Storms). The biggest blocker IMO is Whirling Surge on a 30s cooldown. If you miss, you have to wait 30 more seconds to get it back which sucks.

You ideally want to hover around a hotspot area with 4 vigor and then target players fairly high up and going in a straight line. You can use one Vigor or two Vigor to rush into them and time the Whirling Surge. Try to keep high up and stay out of grounded player's range because they can bolt you or bring you down with Qalashi Wingshredder.

Occasionally you'll find a player that isn't just trying to kill you but actively playing ball - wanting to tumble you and actually air fight. Now that is fun and great way to experience aerial dog fighting. I wish there was a PvP area all about tumbling and having a quick Whirling Surge CD.

This all is for the 'intended' way to do it.

I highly recommend grabbing a friend and jousting each other timing the Whirling Surge at the same time to get dismounted at the same time. Makes this super fast. I eventually gave up at 25/50 and just finished it off with a guildie. Remember you can grab Dragonrider's Cultivation and pick up Herbalism or Mining, gather and cancel before you pick the herb or ore fully, and repeat. With no ICD and the buff you can recharge Vigor very quickly and get back in the air fast for a good aerial run if you really want to min-max.

I see a lot of negativity in the comment section but I had a lot of fun doing this achievement (without a friend help) and although it was time consuming, it wasn't impossible.

What I recommend:

sticking to an area with a high concentration of players (right now it's zaralekk caverns and pvp world quests areas)

always keep your vigor around 4-5 so you can get to players closer but also use the whirling surge

cruise around an area and when you see a player approaching / about to mount try to get close to them (ideally from the back) and when they are airborne and are really close to you cast the whirling surge

when your whirling surge is on a CD, i recommend landing somewhere others can't get to you easily, often times i fell victim to another player doing this achievement

Comment by Tamiller

I found a great spot to farm this. Port into the Emerald Dream from Val. Just sit there on your drake. People will continuously port in and fly off. When they do, take off after them and BAM.

If anyone tries to attack you, just do a Skyward Ascent and circle back, and enjoy watching the guards kill them.

Comment by LexiconPlays

With the addition of Soar (one of the Dracthyr racial abilities) gaining the full effects of Dragonriding/Dynamic Flight in 10.2.5, you can now complete this achievement as a Dracthyr in your base dragon form.

If you use Whirling Surge while using Soar in War Mode, you will dismount enemy players, and receive credit towards the achievement.
