Does anyone know if the title this unlocks is an account-wide title or character-specific title?

Kommentar von mxair2001

It looks like you have to get all the achievements on one character. Having credit for a few on one doesnt show up on other characters.

Kommentar von Aernath

Aqua Team Murder Force (Alliance) or Aqua Team Murder Force (Horde) is also needed, not listed up there (as of now.)

That one alone makes it a 2,5-3 month achievement.
And there's Periodic Destruction too, which needs 13 weeks in total to be completed in full.

All to reach this sweet, side-walking thing: Schnapprückenkrabbler and "of the Deeps" title ;)

Kommentar von AlicePrime

UPD: Got it! No idea what to do with it now, but still it's pretty unique and fun to have in your collection.

Note that the achievement and its parts are NOT ACCOUNT-WIDE, so they must ALL be completed on one character.

The hardest parts of the whole endeavor which you need to prepare for:

1. Anemonar (Coral Ancient rare). While not hard to kill by himself (some tanks / pet DPS can even solo him), spawning him can be frustrating. Trick is, it's very hard to pull and kite the Colossal ray alone as it disengages if it feels no players within a VERY short range of itself. We had to do it in 2 people: a tank and my warlock friend. I used Goblin Glider to shoot the Concentrated Flame, and then we took turns taunting/healing to kite the ray to the forest. The only spot where to pull is the extension above Horde town (pull in air, glide there). Monks (Zen Flight), Druids (chicken) and DH (Glide) are best for this task.

2. Blackscale. Not hard to kill, but the chance to spawn him is very low. I camped the Packmother rare for 3 days. It does not matter if you have looted her: you can kill her as many times as you wish per day (with 1 hour respawn of course).

3. Hydra Scale Matriarchs x3. Of the three, only one spawns at a time (chosen randomly), at fixed spots. They share the same 1.5 hours spawn timer. I camped the last one for 3 days as well.

4. Tidemistress. Not hard to spawn her (you just need to know exactly where the 5 eggs are), but they are not guaranteed to appear. Besides, a lot of players do not even know she exists!

5. Pylon number 5 for Trove Tracker. A mother of all QTE's in WoW. Trick is not to memorize the sequence, but to learn to ignore the red color and only cast the beams once the sparks go real close to the runes. So close you CAN safely destroy them once they touch it. As loony as it sounds, CLEAR YOUR MIND: I mean, chill, relax, go slowly and steadily, many times in a row until you can subconsciously press these buttons. Reaction speed is more important than anticipation, let your spinal cord act in your brain's stead.

6. Periodic Destruction. Although in 415+ all of them are soloable, it takes 13 weeks sharp. Make sure you triple check the ingredients (and, of course, have some to spare at all times).

7. Nothing To Scry About 100 chests. Can be very frustrating if you do it in the enemy-infested areas. However, western Naga camp, the area immediately to the west and north of it (excluding the murloc village), waterfalls, ruins and hydra breeding grounds are just perfect spots. Flying helps a lot, so you may actually get about 10-15 chests per Stone.

8. Mrrl's Secret Stash. Since you will use your Tacos for every Tome out there, a useful trick is to wait until the Crimson Stallion day, get a Taco, vendor it, buy another Taco, and then immediately buy the Stallion and buy back the vendored Taco. Another thing VERY few people seem to know is that you can Ctrl-right click a reagent and then TYPE the desired number you want to buy (up to 200 common, up to 100 any other at a time). It also helps to record the ingredients down, like: A = 3 B + 7 C = 21 D + 28 E = 84 F + 140 G.

Everything else is either story progression, brainless farming, exploration (unlock flying first, then just follow the guides) or patience game with dailies.

Finished it today, you get mount by mail, you don't learn it automatically

Kommentar von obbig

A real shame that a cool mount is locked behind whether you get lag or not rather than skill or time spent in game (terrible design for a meta achievement). There will be many people who end up getting all the required achievements for this except for Arkhamstern due to the stupid decision to include the Arcane Pylon chests in it. If a player has a mid range internet connection or plays from an area where unexplained WoW lag spikes are the norm (such as Oceania for one), they have little hope of ever completing this meta and getting the mount. Add those players with slow reaction times due to medical conditions, they get to miss out on this as well.

I have no issue with smaller individual achievements that only reward points relying on great internet connection, but to me it's a bad design when you are including these factors in meta achievements! There have been complaints from a sizeable cohort of players since the Pathfinder system was introduced for flying, but can you begin to imagine the complaints if Pathfinder included segments requiring rng or stable low latency?

I'm sorry Blizz but as a fan of meta achievements and having something to work towards I have to say this one is poorly thought out. To have a component that has nothing to do with skill, time invested in game or using one's problem solving skills is a glaring mistake. This meta has both a title & a mount so I can see where some people will be tempted to do silly things like account share to get this completed, a temptation brought about by Blizz's design of it. I'd strongly advise people against account sharing as it can go wrong in so many ways, but frustration and a sense of injustice can lead people to do silly things at times whether it's in games or RL.

Kommentar von ProdromusHarv

Completed this today.
"Hey guys, check out my awesome, new crab mount!"
*Silence
"Oh right, everyone is playing Classic"

I guess on the bright side, with so many people playing Classic, this mount will be considerably more wondered at when people slowly start coming back into Retail.

Kommentar von Bursi

I got Schnapprückenkrabbler per mail by Thaumaturge Vashreen after completing Unterwasserusurpator.

Kommentar von rhostam

What? Another mount I can't get by doing the bare minimum? What? Another mount I can't get by doing the same raid 400 times over years? Why not just sell it in the store? What! Some people can't afford it? F-man. Can't please anyone. With so many mounts becoming remarkably easy to acquire, its no wonder some of the more unique ones are being tied to a lot of hard work. It is unfortunate that some challenges require certain capabilities, of course, but such is the way of things, no? I mean, do those that won't be able to earn this mount also complain at competitive leagues for not being on teams that win millions? This wasn't malicious or cruel intended. It is just how the designers want this mount to be earned.

Kommentar von Terrorshark

Darn I really want this. My toon's name is "Terror".

Terror of the Deeps.

Why does it have to be a huge meta achievement? T.T

Kommentar von alpanhell

Strange that they hotfixed Mechaerfolg to be account-wide, yet not this achieve.

Edit: This seems to be account wide now after patch 8.3 This means you can get different parts of this achievement on different toons.

Kommentar von Dutchmaster92

Can there please be a guide for where to find Scrystones in a reasonable time as well as the Strange materials needed for the Lab. All you guys post is regurgitated achievement information and don't post information needed to get this achievement done fast as possible. Please i beg someone post info on a good location to farm these materials or just delete this useless information that anyone that can read in game already has. Thanks :)

Kommentar von 1715648

If someone has an update on the state of this achievement now that BfA is almost over, I think we'd appreciate it.

What I mean by that is, has the achievement gotten easier or harder since not a lot of people are in Nazjatar right now.

Might be easier getting certain rare monsters farmed, but I'm not sure where to begin with getting the crab mount since it's so many achievements.

Kommentar von Bigford6463

If anyone is still trying to do this achievement let me know, I'm trying to kill Anemonar and would really appreciate a hand

Kommentar von Kerrima

When I click on Aqua Team Murder Force from Undersea Usurper in my achievements menu, it now directs me to Nautical Battlefield Training (Gain 4800 experience with your Waveblade Ankoan allies). When I search for Aqua Team Murder Force in the achievement menu, it isn't there.

I think Aqua Team Murder Force has been replaced by Nautical Battlefield Training, but if anyone can confirm that would be great.

Kommentar von n1k9oh

Is this achievement and mount still possible now in Shadowlands?

Kommentar von Angerblow

As of 9.1.0 I can be quite tricky to get the follower XP as daily quests are no longer visible on the map. Or generated at all, besides the bounty in Nazjatar main hubs. Checked it on different characters, both Alliance and Horde, 50 and 60 lvl. It's either a patch-day-one bug or Blizz is making us miserable.

Thankfully, it was just a bug. Blue marks are once more displayed.

Kommentar von toastytea

One more edit: there are some changes due to the release of the BFA Jani mount. The requirements for some achievements have been simplified, with some rares being removed from it at the minimum. However, the follower rep, puzzles, and Madrivas are still a part of the achievement, and those are the longest parts. On the bright side, getting all the rares now is a lot easier with removing offenders such as Soundless.

However, based on what is left, it's still a long achievement if you're starting from scratch, so focus on doing a bit at a time lest you go insane.

As a preamble, you might want to get a character on any low-population realm to fish for some of the rares still required.

Edit: I have finished the grind of everything 7/2024. The total time it took me to get the meta was about 4 months + some RNG time for WQ achievements. I did have bad luck on extra XP items for followers, but I also wasn't seeking them out as this is a slog anyway, with no reason to rush the follower XP. There is a large amount of RNG (as seen below in some of the points), so it's hard to estimate an exact time; plan to wait for things to be up. I did miss days here and there, so I'm sure there's a 'faster' option, too.

I am done with this in Dragonflight as of December 2023. I did not play much in BFA and have mostly missed Mechagon and Nazjatar content. I did have the initial introductions completed, but little beyond that.

Here are a few tips that I thought would be good to include:

Always turn on War Mode before completing anything in Nazjatar. There is a mount as well as a couple of toys and other bits (if you are a completionist) for PvP tokens that drop off rares and from supply chests. You are also far more likely to see more rares in WM as there are (slightly) fewer people there - mileage may vary now that the BFA meta has been added. Depending on your server, those are easy to grab and can have 1-3 tokens. You can also do the weekly, which allows you to kill the Alliance soldiers on the points during Battle for Nazjatar, but it doesn't require PvP. If you happen to PvP and kill at least one player, you'll also get a reward of a few tokens. You would need 220 or so tokens for everything or 150 if you want the mount.
Note: these also drop from rares even on consequent kills, so even if you killed the rare before, you could kill it again, and the majority will award the token even if you don't get the other loot.
Focus on completing your follower XP and doing what you can rather than trying to achieve everything simultaneously. You will get a lot of it by pure chance before you have to 'grind' for it. I got most of the rares, items, and events without seeking them out too much. If I had the time allowance, I tried to stick around the zone for 1-2 hours, depending on the day. This allowed me to kill a lot of the rares. Achievements like Back to the Depths will get done over time, so don't worry too much about it - I completed this way before finishing the follower XP grind.
Mrrl's Secret Stash can be challenging, and I would highly recommend joining an achievement Discord server to get pings about it. I use WoW Achievements, Wow Secret Finding, and Lord of the Reins. The actual process itself isn't too hard. Again, you might want to check WM on and off for the step that requires the vendor.
Periodic Destruction achievement takes time and RNG. All combinations can be found on the achievement page. Just make sure you do it whenever it's available to you.
Puzzle Performer can take ages due to RNG. Always check WQ in Nazjatar, preferably a couple of times a day. You can also use some Discord servers to notify for it, which is a boon once you get close to the end. Certain puzzles are rare and take time to get that WQ active, so it's best to check. I habitually checked WQ once or twice a day.
Rares can be a challenge. I did get the vast majority by just flying around as I was working on other things, but you will eventually have to put some work in. Always kill Scale Matriarchs if you see them as they share the spawn timer and you need all 3, always kill Siltstalker the Packmother as Banescale only spawns with a small chance after she is killed. Some of the worst rares have been removed (Soundless, Shambler) so this part is a bit easier. However, Deepglider is still on, and he's relatively annoying.

Other random/optional achievements/items that you can do if you so desire that aren't related to the meta:

Give Me the Biggest Bag You've Got - it will take time. I am done with it now, and I only had to grind in earnest for 3 items. You can buy some of the pets on AH, and they also count toward achievement if you don't want to rely on luck.
Slimy Pets - there are a few. You feed the slimes, and after X days, get the pet. I recommend doing it as part of your dailies and picking up any prismatic crystals you see on your journeys since you are in the zone anyway. Again, I got all of them before I was even close to being done with the follower XP.
If you are a pet catcher, 2 rare pets in Nazjatar might take a long time. You might have to battle other pets to get them to spawn. If you are interested in pets, look at Bloodseeker and Sandclaw Sunshell pages. I didn't grind for them too much but rather looked around every day I was there. Sunshell didn't take much time for me, but Bloodseeker took me a few weeks, and I did battle pets around the area plenty before I finally found him.
Again, with pet battling, there is an achievement for all the 'boss' pets - best looked up on respective pages. It is not too hard if you already have a decent selection of pets.

Nazjatar takes a lot longer than Mechagon to complete, so settle in for a while. I'd recommend pacing it as you can't speed up the follower XP gain all that much in a worthwhile manner. Instead, focus on that while getting a few other tasks along the way if possible. My rough list was: follower XP/Quests, supply daily (up to achievement, then stopped), Madrivas (if available), a few rares, and some algan murder for Rockweed Shambler.

Even with the most "positive" option, you're likely looking at 3 months due to follower XP that is part of the meta. However, as I said, chances are you will end up needing extra 'RNG' time.

Good luck with your adventures!

P.S. Do share rares you find if you can wait in chat, sometimes people will join you. There's a fair amount still doing this now, and those like me that were starting almost from scratch, appreciate it!

Kommentar von Gweedleas

Can anyone confirm whether in regards Aqua Team Murder Force Achievement whether if I get it on an Alliance Char it will show as complete on a Horde Char?

I have one horde character and stupdely enough I have been doing the achiev on him as I needed the mount from the horde side. I only have one horde char and 10 alliance so was going to do the Aqua Team Murder Force on alliance and wondered if anyone knows it it counts towards it as horde for the meta achievement?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kommentar von Galahfray

I'm disappointed that Rockweed Shambler was taken off the achv for Jani because it was finally a chance to make farming him current for the achv. It's really hard to find groups for him now.

Kommentar von Apollomantis

This achievement is simply unreasonable in its current state, in that the expectation comes off has either having multiple accounts to camp rare's, or be able to work from home to camp rare's while you are working. During its hay day I feel like it was okay given the zone was active and groups were being formed all the time for the rare's, yet now that we're in TWW, the zone is pretty much dead and simply makes the rare portion of this much harder to do. Not to mention the RNG with WQ's for the puzzle portion, and the fact that it takes 13 weeks to get periodic destruction. All other metas I have done so far, looking at back from the beyond and a world awoken, were much better than this one in terms of being reasonable with achievement demands, yet this one simply ruins A farwell to arms thoroughly with horribly designed achievements and grind expectations.

Kommentar von shalkecz

this is hands down one of the worst meta in the game

Kommentar von Lucilite

Great news! "Trove Tracker" is no longer required for this meta! Also, Trove Tracker has been made easier to earn!

Kommentar von biggaz69

I've never hated runes as much as do with this disgusting achievement. All I need is two more runes to complete and for 3 months...nothing. I got Leisegleiter before I finished this. Ridiculous.

Kommentar von fromserbiaviavpn

If you are like me and wanted to unlock the crab mount Schnapprückenkrabbler in 2026, know that while this achievement might seem like a big hassle, it’s actually not that big of a deal and it just takes some time. It does require you to log in for at least 30 days but other that that, it is much easier now than it has been in the past.

This achievement is account-wide and I unlocked Nazjatar on 3 characters of the same faction and managed to complete this in 30 days.

How to unlock Nazjatar:

Go to a calling board in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. There should be a quest given by someone standing there besides the board that starts the BfA quest line. The Horde quest is Battle for Azeroth: Missionsrichtlinie. The Alliance one is Battle for Azeroth: Gezeiten des Krieges. Finish that intro quest (some parts can be skipped if you have already done it previously).
Obtain your Hearth of Azeroth necklace by completing Eine sterbende Welt (quest can be accepted from an iron dwarf in Boralus/Zuldazar, check the map)
Accept and turn in Die Vereinigung von Kul Tiras / Die Vereinigung von Zandalar (this part is not mandatory to unlock Nazjatar but do it anyway since it takes 1 second and will help you with the reputation grind as you will be able to turn in bonus WQ rewards).
Accept Schickt die Flotte / Schickt die Flotte and do the quests until you have unlocked a portal to Boralus/Zuldazar.

----

Tour durch die Tiefen
This achievement is pretty easy and you will complete it along the way just by doing quests and progressing through the zone.

Nur Rares ist Wahres
You will do most of this achievement by killing rares in the zone, however, there are some rares that might be harder to find. A couple of notes:

Tiefengleiter and Lautlos are pretty rare spawns but I saw them both around 5 times each during the 30 days that I’ve been ranking up the 3 followers. I might have been pretty lucky but what I'm trying to say is that while they are pretty rare, they are not that rare as it seems.
Gezeitenlord Dispersius and Gezeitenlord Aquatus need some RNG to spawn so you can try to spawn them each time you pass the pools they are spawned in.
Fluchschuppe der Rudelvater requires some RNG to spawn but even if you don’t manage to spawn this rare by the time you finish everything else, I believe you can use an alt (lvl 50+) that has Warmode and Chromie time enabled.
While trying to spawn/kill König Gakula, you can also do the Kampf den Kaulquappen!.

Für eine Handvoll Manaperlen
Easy achievement that you will complete relatively fast just by progressing through the zone.

In-Vitro-Eliminierung
This achievement used to take 13 weeks to complete but you can technically do it in a single day using 13 alts. I suggest taking a look at this comment to help you figure out how to complete it.

Mrrls Geheimvorrat
Mrrl’s is an NPC that is available only after you save him, which is done by simply finishing Ein sicherer Ort / Ein sicherer Ort. He has a secret stash that's visible only if you have Sturmwogercape der Azsh'ari equipped (check out this comment in order to see how to acquire the cloak). Once or twice a month he will sell Blutroter Gezeitenhengst which you need to buy in order to get this achievement. Since the mount has a different price each time I suggest using this web app which calculates all the mats needs and gives you all the steps you need to do: https://sschnaible.github.io/mrrl/

Rätselfreund
This achievement is pure RNG and I can only suggest that you check and do the puzzle world quests each day and eventually you will get it.

Ankoaner der Meeresklinge / Die Entfesselten
Getting to Exalted reputation is not something that you will have trouble with. You will get most of the way there just by doing quests and world quests but once you hit Revered the rep quartermaster will sell you an item that gives +250 reputation for 20x Prismatische Manaperle.

Tief gesunken / Versunkene Abenteuer
In order to get this achievement you just need to complete Nazjatar main questline which is pretty straightforward.

Nazjatabula rasa
Again one more straightforward achievement that you will complete pretty easily just by completing world quests.

Aquatische Schnetzeljagd / Aquatische Schnetzeljagd
This achievement is pretty simple but it does take at least 30 days to complete. There are 3 followers that you need to rank up to level 30. The problem is that you can earn only 1 rank per follower per day meaning that you need 90 days in order to complete this achievement on one single character. However, you can use 3 characters of the same faction and have each of them level a specific follower, which will then make this doable in 30 days.

Kampf den Kaulquappen!
A straightforward achievement, just click on 100 little red Murlocs located in the west side of the zone. I suggest that you kill König Gakula while doing this achievement because you need to shoo away quite a lot of Murlocs in order for him to spawn. Not sure about the exact numbers but I ended up shooing around 110-120 Murlocs before Gakula spawned.

Hellsehenswürdigkeiten
Relatively straightforward achievement as well. I suggest waiting until you get a few Sehersteins as each of them lasts 5 minutes and then just fly around the east side of the map (around elf ruins) and just opening the chests.

Zurück in die Tiefe!
Another straightforward achievement. Every 3 hours there is an event that you can complete. This event used to last some time but now it can be completed in less than 30 seconds. Set up a timer, log in every 3 hours to do it and you will be done in 2-3 days.

Erkundet Nazjatar
Easy and straightforward.

Unterwasserunterstützung
One more easy achievement that you will get just by progressing through the zone.

Gläserne Samtpfötchen
Pretty straightforward achievement. Just check out this comment on how to complete it.

----

And to summarize, my priorities were:

Checking out for rares Tiefengleiter, Lautlos and Schlickpirsch die Rudelmutter/Fluchschuppe der Rudelvater
Doing puzzle world quests for Rätselfreund
Checking Mrrl’s secret stash for Mrrls Geheimvorrat
Ranking up followers on 3 chars for Aquatische Schnetzeljagd / Aquatische Schnetzeljagd

as those are the most problematic ones. The rest is just a matter of time.
