Rescue 50 Arathi prisoners from Arathi's End.

Back to the Wall requires you to rescue 50 Arathi prisoners from Arathi's End, located in the north eastern zone of Azj-Kahet.

1

Complete Prerequisite Quests

Complete the quests Here's the Plan and To Arathi's End first, which then unlocks the quest Invasion Disruption. This achievement is warband-wide, so progress carries across all your characters.

2

Run Invasion Disruption Quest

Do the majority of your prisoner rescuing during the Invasion Disruption quest, as Faerin taunts nearby mobs for you. There are 8 webbed Arathi prisoners in the zone that respawn every 2 to 3 minutes. Five of them are guarded by elite golden dragon mobs that charge at you, so use Faerin's taunts to your advantage.

3

Rescue Prisoners at These Locations

Rescue webbed Arathi prisoners at the following locations in Azj-Kahet: at 65.9, 13.34; at 64.2, 10.03; at 65.08, 7.83; at 64.74, 4.38 (2 prisoners); at 61.61, 7.8; at 60.27, 9.32 (2 prisoners); at 61.99, 4.36; and at 61.26, 4.01. Additional prisoners can be found in Hallowfall at 48.45, 57.81 and at 49.14, 57.39.

4

Reset Quest at 100%

When Invasion Disruption reaches 100% completion, abandon the quest and accept it again to continue rescuing prisoners toward the 50 total required.

5

Farm During Special Assignment

The achievement can also be progressed during Special Assignment: A Pound of Cure, which requires completing 3 world quests in the zone to unlock. Note that cave openings covered in web containing 5 or 6 Arathi prisoners do not count toward the achievement — only the single prisoners wrapped individually in web count.

Tips

  • Play on a level 70 character due to enemy scaling in the zone.

  • Prisoners are not personal — another player in the zone can rescue the same prisoner before you, so prioritize moving quickly between locations.

  • Use a macro to track criteria by changing the achievement ID to 40620: /run local a=40620 print(format("|cffFFFF00TO DO for %s|r",GetAchievementLink(a)))for i=1,GetAchievementNumCriteria(a)do local d,_,c,x,y=GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(a,i)if not c then print(format("%s %d/%d",d,x,y))end end
