I just tested this, and it's actually absurdly easy, though it is possible it was changed in one of the most recent builds from what you saw.

You don't need to actually hit the mines continually. Considering the mines themselves won't activate before you hit the ground, there is a very small grace period built in to the timer of the achievement. To get it, simply go to the center of the field, and start running into mines. As soon as you land, sprint to the nearest mine by where you landed, and you'll continue your chain.

Hitting multiple mines at once counts. I got it in four jumps for hitting one, then three, then four, then three again.

Commento di Doughman

I just completed this achievement and can confirm that you just need to run FAST to the next set ..i tried jumping into a group of 5 of them to start me off...then it's just a matter of luck and catching that RIGHT bounce.
(hint) start in the middle...if you start outside ..turn your back towards the inside.
Good luck.

Commento di Windriver

I'm sure you've realized that this is a tribute to the classic computer game of the same name. Every Windows package has it, looks like its a favorite of bored devs.

Commento di Ahrendel

This was frustratingly fun to get! As a resto druid I could just keep myself up with HoT's. Only thing that really hurt was landing now and then.

Commento di 232380

Note to mages, if you blink you will go forward from the last place you landed so this achievement is easy to get since you can run into a bunch of mines in a line, blink and get more ahead of whatever ones you blew up, got a 8 start this way.

Commento di 13061

The Minefield is located southwest of K3 in The Storm Peaks, around 36.86.

Commento di 251928

Well, I've just spent around an hour trying to complete this...and its just not happening. I've counted 10 blasts more than once, but for some reason the achievement just won't complete. Ah, so sad. =[

Commento di 13813

Got this achievement just now.

Guide:
(1) Get hit by a mine
(2a) Hope to land on a different mine
(2b) If not run towards the nearst mine
(3) Profit!
- Have full health when you start
- Try to have the mines blast you inwards if at all possible

Commento di creosonic

The bad ping helps. I had approximately 1.5k and it was easy.

Commento di bhoot

Insanely easy if you got a Magnificent Flying Carpet

Just mount, stay on the ground and keep on moving on the minefield... You won't get dismounted

I should add, unlike other flying mounts where you get dismounted once being hit by the mine

Commento di Skorpion9x

As a druid, I was able to fly into a group of mines and get blown up, which removes flight form, but I just shifted right back into flight form and flew into more mines. Repeated a few times and completed the achievement very easily.

Commento di 187286

You are allowed to move. Don't just stand there, run to the nearest mines when you land.

Commento di UrielSG

Needs a counter on this achievement so i know what number I am at...-.-

Commento di 98899

From the looks of this
you have 4 seconds from when the mine blows up to be blown up by another mine. So if you land in 2 seconds, you'll have 2 seconds to be blown up again.
If you're in the air for 5 (slowfall) then it will reset.
EDIT:
Personally confirmed that you have 4 seconds from taking damage from a mine to hit another one.

Also, a few tips.

Running into a mine will blow you in the direction you ran at it from. (If you run to a mine from the south of it, the explosion will send you flying south). Try and make them blow you toward the middle of the mine field.
Mages can blink and for me it seemed you could pretend you were on the ground and blink like normal, which will put you ~20 yards ahead. Use it if you're getting blown out of the field.
You CAN use shields - Mana Shield, Power Word: Shield, Fire ward, Ice Barrier etc. - and still get credit for having a mine blow up on you - even if you absorb all damage. I am not sure if this counts for Paladin Bubbles.

Good Luck!

Commento di HeavenSk8

Step 1: Open FireFox/IE
Step 2: Go to www.youtube.com
Step 3: Open 20 videos (or more if you have a high speed internet connection)
Step 4: Go to the mine field, get on your epic mount, and just run around the mines, they'll all blow up at the same time once the ping gets to you.

Worked perfectly for me, unfair way to do it but eh.

Commento di 254903

you just run around on them on the loaned flying mount that you get from the guy left of the flight master at k3... very very very easy.

Commento di riltin

I can definitely assure you all "moving" does not hinder your chances. The "Moments grace" appeared to be completely true for me.

Commento di Tesriel

I'll confirm what most are saying. It's perfectly fine to move. It seems that rogues/druids get a sort of cheat on this, however, with Safe Fall/Feline Grace. Got this on my feral druid and only suffered the initial blast damage, no fall damage.

Odd thing was I got 11 blasts without moving, didn't get it. 9 blasts while moving, got it. /shrug

Commento di 257891

I was in Storm Peaks just before rolling restarts, so I decided to try this achievement before my time was up. It wasn't going well and frustration set in, so I looked up all the techniques to try them. I wasn't able to make my timer for the restarts, so I decided I'd try to lag myself out via youtube, but I still couldn't get enough ping. After about 2 minutes of logging back in after the restart I gave it a few last desperate attempts, and to my glee I got a nice couple, few, several, 10!....15....20...27.dead. It's pure chance. Of course it would so happen that I finally get it and I nearly triple the requirement. In conclusion what I found out that is fact beyond a reasonable doubt is:

A) Movement after initial airlift explosion expels from qualification. (Thus forcing us to watch with our fingers crossed and no intervention)
B) Using one's mount to jump on an initial cluster counts for all which explode. (Do not use flying mount for... obvious reasons)
C) The direction one is launched is dependent on their position juxtaposed to the mine. (If one is placed at a mine's 2 o'clock, one will be launched to the mine's 2 o'clock {Exceptions may lie with mine clusters where airlifts confuse positioning})

May my best advice lie as a blessing of luck! ;)

Commento di Eminence

i did it by opening tons of videos. 20 or so. searched for "episode" in hope for some long videos that took a while to load..

and i could move as well..

Commento di 259229

Just got this, Nov 28 2008 at 10pm.

- I believe you can move after landing, just as long as you hit another mine within 4s of the first one
- Hitting clusters of mines doesn't always register - the run that got me the achievement was a lot (not quite 10) of bounces, but over 20 mines before i got the achievement!
- Bring a healer, or lots of food/bandages/patience
- Get lucky

So just start in the middle, get launched, as soon as you land, take a step or two towards the next mine, or even if you land on a mine, take a quick step before it explodes to launch in an optimal direction. In the chain that got me the achievement i never took over two steps or so between bounces. And be prepared to spend 20-30 minutes doing it.

Commento di Nightshad3

I just gave this a try, and I believe this is the easiest way to do this.
First, get Loaneed Wind Rider Reins from "Honest" Max.

This seems to work the same as the Carpet Trick, except I think this mount is available to everyone.
All you do then is, run over the mines as fast you can, as you don't get dismounted from this mount.

Commento di 29432

Lag worked for my rogue as well, i discovered it on my own though - i was lagging and i thought what the hell (isp problems) and used sprint moved through 20-30 mines when my 5-6sec lagspike was over i had done the achievement and came here to share but apparently it had already been discovered.

ALTHOUGH- i jsut did the achievement on my druid as well - you just go to the mines above them without touching the ground, it blows up, shifts you out of flight form, you shift back in, go above the next mine without touch the ground, rinse and repeat and voila :)

Commento di 163908

the minefield is located at 35:86

Commento di Stryper7

I am very surprised that nobody has mentioned how you can get others to help you work towards this acheivement in one of two ways.

1.) Get some people together and jump on a heavily mined spot, you all should jump for a location 2-3 yds. away from each other in a rough circle. Depending which way the explosions kick you, it IS possible to catch 10 explosions, some set off by you, some by your friends.

This, my Halls of Stone group agreed was a good idea to get the achievement but after several attempts, only one of our group members was lucky enough to get it.

So we put our heads together and came out with our second strategy.

2.) We called this the "baseball" strategy.

After many explosions and mishaps, a group member would make their way to the centre of the minefield. The remainder, in this case 4 people, would fan out to the edges of the minefield and mount up.

The player in the centre would then hop on a cluster of mines and the resulting explosion would kick them into the air. As the player began to fall back to earth, the nearest mounted group member would hopefully be able to leap to the spot where the prospective mine sweeper was about to land and trigger a cluster of mines.

Even though it is not necessary to remain airborne the whole time for the acheivement, triggering the mines before the minesweeper hits the ground ensures you dont time out between explosions.

Despite how complicated the second strategy sounds the 4 people in the group were able to get the acheivement in 7 tries.

+1 to youtube strategy as it is probably way easier =D

Commento di Sweetcakes

I got the Achievement just 5 minutes ago...

All you need to do is

1.) run to a bunch of mines.
2.) after landing run to the nearest mines
3.) rinse and repeat

You have 2-4 seconds to get blown up by another mine or the Achievement will reset it's number count. Trust me, don't run and jump to the mines, just run to them. Easy as that.

Commento di qhiiyr

Druids, just shift into flight form whenever you get knocked back and fly towards the closest mine. It's faster than freefall and it takes advantage of the grace period.

Commento di 148695

Just did this on my Druid with approx. 200ms.

I went into cat form to eliminate the fall damage and when i landed i moved very quickly into the nearest mine, at first i would be blown away from the minefield and would have to restart it but by moving backwards into a mine it would keep me within the mine and in 2 mins got the achievement. Good Luck guys.

Commento di 260363

if you have a flying carpent you can just ride through the mines because you don't get dismountet :D
made this achievement in 10 secs

Commento di 35757

I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed to work best when I landed in the middle and simply kept running for the edge. Trying to run in to the mines got me bounced to the edge... trying to run out/away from the mines got me bounced back to the middle.

Commento di 212841

Very easy,just go on a mine and u have like 1 second of landing time. I did this without knowing the achivement lvl 77 i went into storm peaks and i walked into the mine field and got the achivement not knowing what i did, but yes you can move.

Commento di 206240

A very cheesy way to do this achievement with the minimal amount of fuss is available to Tailors, with the help of the Magnificent Flying Carpet and quite possibly it's lesser counterpart as well.

The carpet itself is so incredibly buggy (or as we call it "full of features") that the mine explosions won't knock you out of the air. So mount up, fly low over 10 mines, Achievement complete.

I accidentally completed it today with the said method, and I have to say it was very anticlimactic...

EDIT: And yeah, I didn't realize this had already been posted a while ago... Oh well...

Commento di 80204

My problem isn't that I can't explode, but I just can't stay alive long enough for 10 explosions. I have 21937 health and 21857 armor. My falling damage I take is around 2000-3000.

Anyone else have an issue with it in this regard?

Commento di 161033

Tip - Mages can blink into their next set of mines if they get thrown out of the field.

Commento di dustinmclaughlin

Ok, i just tried everything, and no one elses comment worked. if your like me and have constantly high latency, and are a tailor with at least a magic carpet slow mount...moutn up on it, and glide over the mines. simple. they all blow up and you never technically touch the ground. just a little glitch i found. good luck!

Commento di kosbane

I was trying this on my lock for maybe an hour, so much food wasted. I gave up and hopped on my flying carpet and flew across the ground setting off mines getting hit but not moving. That is how I got this achievement.

Commento di pinkfish

i jus completed this by total accident and im not quite sure how! althougb its says that u have to hit the mines without landing i hit the ground after evry explosion although i didnt move after i landed.
decided to check this out with a mate of mine an he got the same thing - although he hit the ground after each explosion as long as he didnt move he got the acheivement no problem!

Commento di Areguzanda

This achievement can't be bug-free
I've done this now 50 times. and as it gets registered in the combat log. I've been exploded by more than 20 mines in a row but still not gotten the achievement?
something has got to be wrong.

EDIT: Well I finally got it done. But the "counter" who controlls the number of explossions that hits you can't be perfect.
The last round when I finally did it I exploded more than 20 times, but still only got the achievement on the last explossion.
As someone already have mentioned, it's smart to start off in a group of 3-4 mines. Looks like the "counter" atleast records those.

Commento di 96830

I simply cannot get this achievement,..

Tried it the normal way for about 30 minutes, tried it the normal way but with moving for another 20 minutes, then tried it the youtube way, except I opened up about 60 videos instead of 20,... still didn't work.

/give up

Commento di Brizzle

I tried doing this before i did any quests in the storm peaks and i spent nearly an hour trying to do this and i couldnt get it. But, i just tried it today after i completed all the quests in the area and i got it so easily.

The only thing i can think of is maybe you have to do a quest? maybe the one that asks you to go get the toolbox from the guy in the middle of mine field?

I could be wrong, if i am plz correct me :P

Commento di 269738

The bad thing is, I was listening to Elton John - Candle in the Wind when I got this. ( Princess Diana's song, and she was a big activist against land mines )

Commento di Astralen

Mages can benifit from Fire Ward here since the damage you take is Fire. And Slow Fall too if you have the glyph equipped (Light Feathers work too of course).

Commento di 252471

Confirmed. You are allowed to move, but only for a very short time. After I realized this, it was very easy to get the achievement.

Commento di Djuntas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_l6i4LCsbQ

I did not make it :) Hope that can help, so people will stop making "you cant move" comments.

Now I hope I can go do it my self now lol- Its harder than it looks like for me atleast.

Commento di 273074

Actually to do this achievement you must have the Flying Carpet or a mount from the Honest Max if you dont know to fly at northrend.
You must only fly over the mines and then you have the achievement. ^_^

Commento di Moonbear

Druids, just shift into flight form whenever you get knocked back and fly towards the closest mine. It's faster than freefall and it takes advantage of the grace period.

Great tip, worked very well.

Commento di 266010

i opened 50 tabs on firefox on youtube (YES 50!) - and my latency stayed at 181ms MAX : nvr got any higher - this sucks lol

Commento di 224202

if u happen to have the loaned wind rider this is much easier, just find a line of mines mount up and hit them

Commento di MuuKodk

i just did it without moving... just ran into 1 mine and get blown away in alot of mines and did it... without moving once...

Commento di Crimsonlord

I found and did an excellent way of how to do this achivement

I went into the middle where the goblin is

I used a drake flying mount (not proto-drake) and made it land on the ground

I kinda counted 1-10 mines and so, where i found the most mines I landed on a "start" point with little gaps and the closest distance mines to each other - I used the mount and rushed in and BAM i got 10 at once with only having 173 ms

Commento di 9540

Here's a tip to add to the posts above. I ran to the nearest mine when I landed as described above, but I kept getting thrown out of the minefield and it took too long to get to the next mine. Finally I realized that I was sometimes over-running a mine or approaching it from the wrong angle.

When I finally got the achievement I did it by:

1. Starting in the middle
2. Running into a mine
3. Upon landing, I ran toward the nearest mine that allowed my back to be toward the center of the minefield.
4. I STOPPED running just before the mine and let it blow me back toward the center of the field. This sometimes took a second before the blast, but apparently the timer is forgiving enough for this to work. Doing it this way worked on the first try for me.

Commento di 284541

I have but one problem with this achievement, and that is staying alive long enough to get credit for 10 explosions. 3-6k falling damage per explosion, plus the 500 from the mine itself. I have 29k hp, shieldwall,last stand and potion, but I die. Is there some trick to that part?

Commento di 151016

I was getting rather annoyed with this achievement... until I turned in "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by R.E.M. Perfect song for it, got it right off the bat.

On a serious, more helpful note, this is very easy to get as a DK - especially Blood. A single Vampiric Blood + Rune Tap halfway through is enough to get you through it. It might also be easy on Unholy with Shadow of Death; I managed to get the achievement without dying, so I can't confirm or deny whether the progress continues during the transition or if you can even get it while you're a ghoul.

Commento di Damastes

Ok did they fix this ? cus I have tried getting blown up by 4 mines, and the Achivment tracker wont tell me how many mines I have done. and i know i hit more than 10 when I get blown and run to another one
Any ideas

And what mount are you people using, there another flying mount that is like the flying carpet? I dont have tailor so I can not use the flying carpet
+ jumping doesnt seem to work either

Commento di 264813

note to rogues: if you stealth disarm trap works to help you get to the middle to set you up nicely

Commento di 131049

I got this effortlessly on my paladin. However, on my warrior, I was having difficulty. I knew the mechanics of it, I knew the grace period, etc etc. However, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it. The grace period didn't seem to be anywhere near 4 seconds; I had to run for no more than ~2 seconds in some instances and hit over a dozen mines, no luck.

I was down to my last sweet potato bread (which I bought just for this achievement, to heal me up without using my stat food). In an emo fit of rage I charged in to the minefield because I was disappointed at having to soon fly back to K3 to buy more food.

I randomly bounced around and even though it seemed like I took too long to hit some mines after landing, I got the achievement.

The moral of the story is, emo fits of rage may pay off.

Commento di eilensar

You don't need any quest to get this. I did the achievement first and I just now got the quest "Just Around the Corner"

Commento di 283467

Took a couple tries to get this one down.

To save people the pain of the trial and error I faced let me run down a couple things.

You can move when you land.
The grace period is short, though. So, hit the round running!
The mines blast you in the direction you hit them from!
Don't confuse this with the direction you're facing. It doesn't matter if you're facing south or east. If you hit a mine from the west, you will get blown to the west.

With these two simple things in mind do the following.

Use the path to the center of the field provided for Just Around The Corner.
Face towards a cluster of mines to the south. Ones closest to the center East/West line are ideal.
Jump into the cluster straight from the North. (North should be to your back)
While your in the air, turn yourself around so that you are facing North now, and your back is to the South.
Once you land if you haven't hit a mine on your way down, run straight ahead to the nearest mine. Make sure you hit this mine from the South. This should blow you back towards the 1st cluster of mines you hit.
Again turn yourself around 180 degrees until you're facing south.
Repeat steps 2 through 6.
Profit!

Note that when you hit the ground and run for a cluster of mines you may want to keep an eye out so that you don't clip a mine from it's Eastern or Western edges. This will throw you from the East/West centerline and could cause you to loose the controlled falling that you're trying to achieve.

Enjoy!

Commento di 20417

Everyone worries about being able to move or not move... the Latency... Flying Mounts of ALL types....

Latency does NOT have to be 1.5k ms, you DONT have to use a mount, and you CAN hit the ground and *quickly* move to another mine. This isn't that difficult people. Took me two tries... a bad bounce the first time killed me; the second time I had no trouble at all and even had over 50% health left.

Commento di 186652

Super hard achievement... i dont know why all of you other thinks it is so easy! those mines hurt really hard + you take fall damage. you will need minimum 12k health to get this..

Commento di Fnitrox

I just got this one as a resto shaman.

To not die:
1) Cast earth shield on yourself and activate the nature swiftenss.
2) Get in ghost wolf
3) Enter the mine field walking backwards into it
4) As soon as you land run to the nearest spot with the more mines you can see.

Commento di 297294

ok if ur like me and ur like WTF do i do u just have to set off 10 traps by landing on them dont use flying mount or any mount for that matter just fly to the center of it and look around for the biggest amount of traps run in to the trap hoping u land on more traps and just keep trying that over and over and over tell u get it done!

Commento di inufin

Impossible! My 12k hp is gone too fast! T_T

I opened like 50 youtube videos and run with mount but no achievement.

Commento di vralmongot

The best way of doing this is clearly by using this item:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43472

Get yourself to the middle and just before you run into a mine... use the lager and JUMP onto a mine

Ezmode!

Commento di silkfire

Easiest way to achieve this: Take your land mount, run into the middle following the mine-free path.

Then run on a mine. And in mid-air, constantly turn around your character. If you land near a mine, walk to it backwards, and constantly circle your character in the air. Profit!

Commento di 142629

Though limited in who can do it and taking away from the real challenge in this is the fact that you can use a "vehicle" mount and get this achievement in no time. By vehicle mount I mean the newer mounts that have health bars and the like.

Simply hop onto the specified mount; in my case, I used my Flying Carpet, and skim the ground the mines are on. You and/or the mount will take damage but, you will not be dismounted. Start at one end and just move in a straight line. When the achievement has been awarded, stop and fly away. Takes under 5 seconds to do.

Since this can be seen as exploit, I would suggest one use this method soon before it gets altered. That said, perhaps it's a simple game mechanic that gives you the advantage and Blizz may never remove this "method" from use. Good luck!

Commento di 283695

Lol this is the easy. This is what to do if u are lazy and want a achievement. (Cant be done if u got flymount skill).

1. Go to K3's Flightmaster beside him there is a guy
''Honest'' Max talk to him and u will get a free fly mount (60%).

2. Go to the mine field and mount up.

3 And just fly over the mines u wont be dismount cuz u got that loaned fly mount (Be carfull whit ur hp and have fun)

Sorry for my bad English. :D

Commento di 87752

Had no luck with this achievement after an hour of trying the different methods on this page. I began to think that it was fall damage that breaks the chain of 10 mines, not movement... that as long as you weren't blasted high enough to take fall damage, then you cold run to the closest mine to continue the chain... but apparently not. On several occasions, I managed to detonate 10 or more mines (confirmed in my combat log) without landing and taking fall damage... and yet the achievement did not unlock.

Commento di 304393

if you die trying to get this achievement,

have a potion ready or instant heal skill, resurrect in the minefield with a couple of mines closes to eachother, resurrect and immediatly use the potion/skill
if lucky it should send you to other mine nodes and get the achievement

i died just at the end so watch out if you dont want to die

Commento di VaughulEU

It is really easy.
I just ran through the mines with the 'loaned flying mount' from k3 and I got the achievement.

Commento di ikyonawooka

Easiest way to do this is to get a bandwidth limiter program like NetLimiter 2 and make your wow.exe use very little bandwidth. Run over 10 mines turn off the program. Instant achievement.

Took all of about 15 secs to get the achievement.

Commento di 245871

Can anyone confirm if Pally bubble will allow you to run around and hit the mines? I will try that later this week and post back what I find.

Commento di 143897

If you have any of the vehicle mounts, you can actually just run over the top of the mines. dont even have to be flying above them. I got this by accident by just running through the mine field on my Loaned Gryphon Reins.

Commento di johanponken

I don't think I really succeded due to perfection in technique (but do read up some and thanks for posting all) but more through tenacity.

You get blown here and there, land on one or several mines, or none, rush in again, boom, boom. /sigh. Eat and drink, at it again. And again. Took me around 10 minutes, but it was rather fun hopping about!

As mage, use the mana shield (remember to make a Mana Gem) and Endless HP if you have. Lifebloom if you're Herbalist, and then you can use a Fel Blossom too. Blink. Maybe Iceblock (one of the few things that nulls falling damage), though I didn't use it myself.

Rearrange your bar for this event perhaps?

Other good emotes: /headache, /bleed, /groan, /soothe (on a friend trying), and finally, /yay, /train and /cheer!

(the achievement is under Quests-WotLK)

By the way - didn't it use to be flak cannons here?

Commento di 247126

This is the dumbest achievement in the game. There is no possible way to "get" this achievement. I have spent over 15 minutes trying to get this knowing full well the grace period and all the other tricks. I blow up and land in a clearing with no mines around me.

Commento di 224951

DRUIDS:

I tried this about 10 times after reading all of the advice on here and nothing.

Finally, did this. Tilt your camera down, hit a mine, instantly flight form and fly straight down onto another mine. Repeat, and win.

Insta-flightform and fly straight down.

Commento di 157575

I just managed to complete this, and one thing that seemed to help, was to have my camera pointing straight down, and to turn toward the area I was wanting to run to as I was falling, so I could better control where I was going to be bumped to.

Commento di eichlerb

I recommend not attempting this while on the Just Around the Corner quest, as the turrets in the area are activated during the time and you cant utilize non-vehicle flying mounts in the area, which does make it easier to get to the middle of the minefield, as well as attempt to hit the most amount of mines to start off the timer. I spent probably 20 minutes trying to complete this while on the quest and wound up just turning it in and trying again after reading all the comments about flying, and I had it done within my first attempt after a kamikaze dive at a group of 6-8 mines

Commento di 326466

Still can't manage to do it. I'm on ground less then 4 seconds, and did get mine atleast 15 times, still don't get achievement. What's wrong?

Commento di 322754

ok im not sure why or what the cause is, but currently Feb 25th I am unable to get credit for this achievement...not sure why lol

I did the quest that DAXRIX was called out on, and voila i got the credit!
I dont know if it might be a bug/glitch in the game but i tried for an hour before the quest...to no avail!

I do the 2 quests and bamn the next attempt im golden, so for those who get stuck try doign those quests and maybe it will work for you!
DO UP TO AND INCLUDING "JUST AROUND THE CORNER"
Im a bloodelf pally...maybe its something to do with the race/class?

Commento di ElentilSDS

Just did this achievement, and I can say that its quite easy when u understand the mechanics of the movement. As Clopert stated above ( whose statement actually gave me the idea ) the mine will send you straight back to the direction from which you got on it. This means, that if you can choose a straight path between two spots with many mines, you can use your flying mount to fall into them, and then while floating, turn your character according to that direction and see that you are landing on the next mines with your back at the first ones. If you land on clear ground its even better, cause you will easily determine the direction of the explosion. Best spot to try this is around the middle of the field. Mount up, choose your path from the air, and then move according to it. I hope this post helped somehow.

You misspelled absurdly difficult. Not to mention expensive because keep dying over and over and over and over

Commento di 338836

srsly.

just shield up and run in
al that talk about lag tricks
this is liek the easiest achievment ever.
al you need to know is how to use the walk button and mousesteering :p

Commento di jadrianz

you can not complete this achievement on the the grand Ice mammoth.

Commento di 344615

I can confirm the fact that paladins can use their bubbles to protect themselves against the mines, just got the achievement, and had divine shield on me. thanks for the help guys^^

Commento di 189321

JUST got this one after 2 tries (today). My technique was, follow the above path but instead of going all the way to the goblin(middle) stop just to the west, face west and begin the BLAST! Keep moving the opposite way you are flying in the air. My only trouble on the last and successful attempt was I did not stop at 10. I think by the time I finally stopped getting tossed like a rag-doll, I was somewhere around 20! Fortunately I had just enough health to keep me alive and walk out the original path I came in on. I guess I could have hearthed, but that would have been easy-mode!

Thanks for the above tips. They really helped.

Commento di Dradee

The hard way: Do as the other people say. You can walk around in a short period of time in the mines, and then you may get the achievement. But you are in the risk of dying if you do not have any potions, bubble spell or instant heal.

The easy way: Go to K3 in the same zone (the Storm Peaks), and talk to "Honest" Max <Slightly Used Flying Mounts>. I think he's just outside K3 actually. You say: "Roflmao, gimme one of yarr slightly used flying mounts, or Imma report yoo guys to my friend, he's a GM, mon! And if I hot blood elf reports yoo, yoo aren't gonna give ppl more flying mounts, man! GM will only allow you to give ppl Roflcopters, mon!"
He says: "Time is money, friend, you will get one of my flying mounts, hot blood elf."

Use your new Loaned Wind Rider Reins (or Loaned Gryphon Reins if you're alliance), and just walk around in the mine field. Easy as pie.

Commento di Modibybob

I (shaman) was having trouble getting the consecutive hits, however if you go ghost wolf you can run to the nearest one alot quicker, once I did this I got it on the first try.

Commento di zapCreations

As of today, Bronze Drake, will not be dismounted over the mines.

Commento di 148936

I personally didn't try this (yet) but making a raid with guildies then mass flying randomly into the mine field may do the trick.

If I'm right the explosion is an AOE effect and if yes, it probably affects everyone, if you all aim to around asme spot you might get 4-6 mines to set off at same time.

And even if it doesn't work that way, could be fun to see an army flying all over.

If someone tries it, please leave a message. I try and find out as soon as possible.

Commento di 361454

Did it, landed on a mine, died. End of a chapter.

Commento di 364286

I've tried every single strategy on here and here are the results: You're all wrong. You are NOT allowed to land even for a short time, the mines blow you in RANDOM directions (seems to always be in an open area), you have NO CONTROL over where you land, and this seems like an achievement that is completely out of your control. If the game wants you to get it, you will. Otherwise, you're SOL. I'm gonna bet this is a result of the newest patch screwing with this achievement. I ALWAYS get blown in the 2 places that have no mines no matter which direction I'm facing. SCREW THIS CRAP!

Commento di Ominae

Just got it, used pally bubble and got blown around for a good 30 seconds or so...had to blow Lifeblood/Gift of the Naaru/Lay on Hands after the bubble wore off.

I approached from the north, that little hill outcropping, and hit a cluster obliquely, which blew me into another cluster, which blew me closer to the center...and it just kinda kept going from there.

The best advice I can give, is try to hit the first cluster to the side, so it blows you to the side. If it does that, then when you hit the next mines, it'll blow you back in the direction you just came from, and you're kinda stuck in a loop...which is a good thing in this case, unless you're not a healer :D.

Commento di 129051

I found it easiest to find a cluster of 4-5, and drop down from my flying mount. When you land, just run to the nearest bomb and hope you land on another cluser.

I tried for 15 minutes to do this, and when I FINALLY got the achievement, I bounced for almost 10 more exposions and nearly killed myself ^.^

Commento di diveydavey

lol after trying bout 5 times i felt like giving up, i was in the middle of the mines and held (up arrow) and (right arrow), popped lifeblood and healing pot and there we go =] one happy Diveydavey.

Commento di 215071

I found this achievment extremely difficult. As a level 80 resto shammy with instant cast ghost wolf I managed to run from mine to mine very fast and I take a fairly long time to die, so I hit plenty of mines before having to stop to mana up.
I hit way more mines than the achievment required and spent well over an hour doing it, it seems like that 4 second time limit is an overstatement or the achievment was bugged when I tried to get it.
I still have not gotten it.....I have cold weather flying so getting a loaner mount isn't an option...

Commento di 388075

As of right now, you CAN fly into the minefield after doing the quest associated with it. At least I could on my Ebon Gryphon :D

Commento di llDemonll

Something I will add since it took me a long time to do this:

Don't run while you are doing this, the mines have about a 3 yard radius and will explode after ~1 second of you being near them. Took me forever because I was running to the next mine when I landed. I was finally told not to run at all and just let them do their work and I got it first try.

If you are a mage or priest this will be easy because if you aren't going to make it to the next set you can slowfall to get yourself there.

Commento di 229512

every post on how to do this one is completly b.s. you get lucky or you dont. thats it.

Commento di 229512

Ok one post was right, opening up a bunch of youtube vedios till lat went to 3k+ allowed me to get the acheivement. To my dismay about 50g in repairs later.

Commento di Shadowtion

Very easy achievement, you just need to land on the right spots. You don't have to land on another mine necessarily, just close to one. If you start running towards the next one right away, it still counts.

Commento di Kyura

Flying over the minefield makes you dismount and fly into another direction. Don't know why flying triggers mines but what the heck!

Commento di 311742

I'm having trouble with this achievement, and I don't know if it's something I'm doing or if it's bugged now. I run and hit them within the 4 seconds that I'm SUPPOSED to have a chance to hit them. I count while doing it and I hit 10-15 mines and STILL don't get the damn achievement.

Commento di 346525

Easy Achieve.
The YouTube trick worked for me first time.

1) Open 10-20 youtube videos and have them stream at the same time to make your ping go crud
2) Get on your flying mount
3) Fly into the mines and run in a straight line over 10 mines while still on your mount

Gz for the Achievement you just got ;)

Commento di bessey

they changed the mine arangements. theres a freaking path into the middle. there wasnt 1 the first time i did it on my druid. ive been trying to get the achiev for well over an hour on my pally. i think they nerfed the mine density. but im stubborn and refuse to give up.it would be just like blizz to get a bunch of complaints about not being able to complete quest and nerf it.

Commento di 214088

I havent gotten this Acheivement yet but im a Prot pally and i figured out that Holy Sheild works to take off some damage if you are trying to get this Acheivement just keep trying you dont get it off the first try always.

Commento di Youtomia

I think the bug of The Loaned Windrider Reins does not work anymore. :\
I keep getting dismounted when a mine explodes. And I was hovering over it. I did not land.

Edit:

As of patch 3.1, this is no longer true as all vehicle mounts were changed to standard mounts.

So yeah. The "Using loaned mounts to get Mine Sweeper" no longer works.

Commento di Zorpo

Warlocks:

Put a demonic circle down in the center where the goblin is. Start towards the edges with your back towards the center. Keep bouncing mines til you land near your demonic circle and if you're close enough to set off some mines, hit those and immediately summon yourself to your circle and hit some more mines. It's a quick way to rack up 6-8 mines, and so long as you land near a mine after doing this it's an easy completion.

Commento di 165543

Since there is no comment page for the mines themselves as a mage u can slowfall pretty fast with that knockback+slowfall if only u could set up a land mine that gives a knockback.Got punted 2 the purple tree in crystalsong.

Commento di tisjhan

note for shaman

it helps to spec as resto - earth shield keeps u alive

also if you use ghost wolf form you can run to the next mines faster

Commento di 443617

I can confirm that moving still works in 3.2, as well as hitting multiple mines at once. As a warrior I couldn't do any of the fancy tricks others listed, but I can tell you to bring alot of food. I went through 18 peices of sweet potato bread and 3 potions. Using a potion when you're about to die but think you almost have it is totally worth it, and doesn't affect the achievement.

If you're trying to get hit by multiple mines at once, if they are both near the same direction their force will stack. I got hit by 3 that were all in front of me and i took at least 60% of my health from fall damage. If they are on either sides they will somewhat counteract, though it doesn't nerf it completely.

Commento di 219084

Druid tip of the day:

Droods can use swift form whenever in the air and just fly to next one without ever landing and still get achi.

Commento di 213879

The grace period didn't seem to be anywhere near 4 seconds; I had to run for no more than ~2 seconds in some instances and hit over a dozen mines, no luck.

The grace period is indeed 4seconds, but remember that the timer starts when the mine explodes, not when you hit the ground^^ so technically, those 2 seconds you're talking about are correct, unless you're a mage with blink, or a warlock with Demonic Circle (if that works mid-air)

Commento di pyrokiller117

Just did this as a DK, tried the youtube trick and latency didnt even budge, all i did was say "F*** it" and just go into the mines, one of them sent me into another group of mines, and i actually got it in midair. I will say use your unholy presence for the 15% increased movement speed.

Commento di 425529

Before 3.1 you could easily do this achievement by taking the loaned gryphon from goblins town nearby, since it was a vehicle all you had to do is get on it, land and run through the field as it had 100k hp and couldnt be blown from the surface. I wonder if it still works?

Commento di 434395

7. Repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. Profit!

People always forget the most important step! Before you can profit, you must first ? !

Do something pro,
Make them watch,
Shake your money-maker,

Profit!

Aside from that, great post!

Commento di Keoskey

i tested it if you run at the mine it will always send you flying back the way you ran from. So if you run north toward a mine, The mine will send you flying south

Commento di Guanyin

...because Blizzard needs fun too.

Apparently it's changed, multiple mines don't work anymore, at least not to me.
Running to mines less then 4 seconds after you got launched by the previous mine doesn't count anymore.
You can get several explosions, not adding to the count but definately lowering your health.
I guess this is one of the little annoyances Blizzard has built in to get rid of their own frustrations,
wathing people die multiple times to try and get an achievement they won't get.
I cannot see what's funny about that, perhaps I should ask Blizzard to get to know that.

Commento di eloril

After running around for 15 minutes trying to do this I decided to approach it from a different angle.

I jumped on my flying mount and flew as fast as i could into the biggest pile of mines I could see, i exploded about 6-8 just by flying around them before the canons on the side took me out.

Then after the first bounce into another load of mines, achievement complete!

Commento di 331977

Just did it whit priest shilding me.
It was 10 explosions. Dont mather if u explode 3 mines u get only 1 in count.
So forget the old "get 3 mines in a row" and ain to get back to center 9 times.

Commento di 443886

Tried this achievement countless times on my Lock, tried again today, popped Voidwalker Sacrifice, somehow, got it.
Don't know if it was luck, coz I was taking fall dmg, but, if you're Lock, it's a great help!

Commento di tzakanel

You CAN use a paladin's Divine Shield to do this.
I was getting all dead during this so i bubbled and just run onto them mines head on ... amap ... well got thrown around but upon ending still had health to bounce a few more. And i got achievement.

Commento di jzerbini

I was able to get mine after 25 minutes trying..

Nitro Boosts are helpful indeed.

Commento di MrBigDraws

I believe the key to this is jumping. I read all the comments here, some very in-depth, and none were working for me. I wanted to get a visual of it, so I checked out youtube and the first video I saw the guy mentioned jumping and having to be in the air when the mine explodes.

I tried to find the middle of the field, around the guy who has sparksockets tools, and just jumped into some mines. Whenever I landed I tried to find the closest mine and jump at it. Got the achievement the first time.

Good luck.

Also wanted to add I *definitely* didnt have to have 10 different explosions. Was more like 4 or 5 so I think multiple mines count.

Commento di 338479

Best thing to do ever as a druid guys: shapeshift after each explosion and run in a mine!

That's all. You can't miss it now.

Good luck

Commento di Samphis

As of patch 3.3, the landmines no longer dismount you from a flying mount. This is stupidly easy now to simply fly into some mines, be knocked back a bit, fly into them again, etc.

edit: Why was this rated down? This is correct information and was posted first.

Commento di Jerodast

I have not found this as easy as Samphis above me. My other character did this a patch or two ago simply by running straight into a mine every time she landed, and that got me the achievement quickly and easily. I tried that again in 3.3 and am having no luck (definitely got up to more than 10 explosions). I then tried flying into them but again, even after about 20 mines am seeing no results. Suggestions welcome.

Commento di 501663

I just did it by mounting on my violet protodrake and did not get dismounted at all.

Commento di froeshunter

I dont know if it works with all flying mount but i did it with my Green Prot-Drake and it worked. You just need to go against the mines and wen they go BOOM! go against another ones.

Commento di Naturai

If you are a Druid is very easy to do.

Go in the middle of the mine field shapesifted as the flying form(bird) with full mana.
Go hit a mine and as soon as you lose your shapeshift, click to shapeshift back to flying form and fly very fast to a mine near you. Do this 10 times at least and you will get the achievement.

Commento di Whytescar

I was getting a little frustrated trying to accomplish this Achievement.

So I went to the center where the goblin was, hopped on my Venomhide Ravasaur mount and I put on my unholy aura.
I had more then enough speed to run a few mines before the first one went off and threw me in the air and then rinse and repeat. Epicly easy on a land mount.

Give it a try. Good Luck!

Commento di 360603

I can confirm that flying with your mount (blue protodrake in my case) over/towards the mines still works to accomplish this achievement.

Commento di 419915

I actually finished this on my Bronze Drake, never dismounted either. Just flew around for a while till i got my 10. Much easier than running since you don't worry about falling damage.

Commento di 258404

Ok im a DK just wondering how hard this might be thanks :D All the comments are a little to confusing so i don't wanna try yet.

Commento di 258404

oh btw i have +15 run speed does that help?

Commento di shelluna

It works! Flew into the middle and wanted to dismount but hit a mine first and it actually worked to my advantage...hit the first mine and just kept running to another, because my flying mount is so big, wasn't hard to hit more with minimal movement.Tried several times on foot and got it first try on mount :)

Commento di RuiEn

Latest News/Tip - You can use land mount or air mount to do this achievement and you won't get dismount..

I used mine 310% air mount to complete this.

Good luck.. is better than running on foot.

Commento di copzilla

For me it was much easier than all of these instructions. I just mounted my rusted proto drake at the edge of the mine field, rode it on the ground until it exploded me up from 3 or 4 mines. Then I nosed the drake quickly back down to more mines, hit them. Rinse and repeat until achievement procs. It did not knock me off the proto drake.

Now I don't know if a percentage of damage is what makes someone dismount, but I was wearing retribution tier 10, and wasn't taking very much damage.

Commento di 550839

I just did this today (2/24/10) ... I did it on the bronze drake ... all you do is go in, it bounces you around, but you don't get dismounted. The trick is you have the 1-2 seconds of no control of the character, then about 2s of control before you hit the ground. The thing is, once you get control back you just aim for another mine.

Easy-peasy.

Commento di 358922

Just did this on a Blue Dragonhawk without being dismounted took 30 secs.

Commento di Jazzism

I was trying everyone's methods and I just wasn't getting it then I found an even easier method.

The secret is: the mines don't dismount you. I found this by accident flying to the mid with the goblin then got punted like I normally did unmounted AND got no fall damage. I ran over to the next closest and up I go and sure enough Mine Sweeper.

Commento di 110603

I hated the process of getting this achievement! After throwing several nerd-rages and dying twice, I got on here and looked it up. After reading almost all of the comments and trying out most of them I still hadn't gotten the achievement. I hopped on my flying mount and started flying all over. I flew into one bunch, bounced back a ways, flew into the nearest one and eventually got it. For some people, you may be fortunate enough to get this on your first try, I wasn't ;] this achievement can be very difficult or very easy, I envy those who got it on their first try.

I just got this using the X-53 rocket.

Commento di 586834

i have tried every trick mentioned here, but its not working.

i constantly get knocked out of the mine field, even starting in the middle and heading to the mines from the direction that should send me back into a bunch of others. so far have had no luck with it. even loaded up like 30 youtube vids and still didnt work... any other suggestions? using my flying mount doesnt seem to work either, so im not sure now what to do lol

Commento di 586834

also i agree with a previous poster who said "it should have a counter" at least then you could see what kind of successful count you are getting before it resets. i have gotten at least 15 explosions before dying but it still refuses to count as achieved.... so i dont know where it is ending

Commento di scottishhaig

Just got this today. I can confirm as well that the mines no longer knock you off your mount. Took a few tries as I had to replenish my health once or twice, but got the achievement with about 3-4k left (out of 18.6k). Good luck!

Commento di 601977

Took me about an hour to finally get this. Eventually managed to get it by mounting my normal ground mount (Paladin Charger), charging into a group of 4 or so, then charging into another large group when I landed. Did it three times and got the achievement.

Commento di Kellz

K, I hate you all who got it so easily.

It took me about an hour to figure it out (I know I must be fricken retarded). Anyways the easiet way for me was to jump in a bunch of mines near the goblin. I tried to do it from a few different angles and eventually it worked.

Best of luck.

Commento di Lillithus

Flying Mounts do not seem to work on this achievement as of late.
Possible that Blizz has changed the way you can do this achievement, in a patch update. I've personally just spent 12-20mins trying to get it, have not touched the ground once, have counted each bit of damage i get (counts from explosion see), and had about 20 at one point. Still no achievement.

Tried walking into the minefield, and well, im still trying to get the achievement.
But, as a Death Knight, it does help to have ur pet out. If your pet takes any count from an explosion, you will get the count as well. So far, I've only counted 8. Still working on it.

As a drood this is really easy. Do like all the others. Go to the goblin, jump into a large group of mines, but when ur in the air transform into the flight form, and then just fly into another big mine group, and another one= DONE! It's really fast, and u will take less dmg.

Gl all! to bad u arent all droods ;D

I'm losing my mind. I've tried flying, riding a mammoth, running, opening a ton of videos to kill my ping and having my pet run into mines with me. I've been at it for 2 days died 20 times, used countless food and potions and bandages and I can't get this achievement. WTH?

Commento di Totems

I tried the middle and flying mount tactics, nothing. Probably about 20mins into it I switched to ghost wolf and just ran at the mines (mostly in frustration actually). I made sure if I landed in an open space that I charged the nearest grouping fast, I got the achiv in a couple of minutes.

There's definitely a small grace period, a ground mount I feel would have the same effect as ghost wolf.

Commento di 435011

Done it today. Flying mounts no longer work, but ground ones do nicely, I haven't died in the process - the grace period confirmed. Mages, forget the slowfall - it does not do any good.

I followed Crimsonlord's advice above and it worked like a charm. Quick, minimal damage, and you won't get stuck being blasted all over the place. Thanks!

I went into the middle where the goblin is

I used a drake flying mount (not proto-drake) and made it land on the ground

I kinda counted 1-10 mines and so, where i found the most mines I landed on a "start" point with little gaps and the closest distance mines to each other - I used the mount and rushed in and BAM i got 10 at once with only having 173 ms

Commento di 266500

This seems a very frustrating achievement now. Spent about an hour or so just bouncing off dozens and dozens of mines at no effect. Tried flying mounts but they seemed to be taking time to recover from the blast has 3.3. It may have been modified in some earlier patch or so but flying mounts don't seem to do the trick anymore. Last effort was to try my black bear mount and just to ride on most bombs I could before dying...got it at first try and I wasn't even at half health.

my suggestion; try running with simple ground mounts, with stated orientation tips stated above, before spending money on buffs and pots, good luck!

Commento di Altrusion

This achievement is silly... I tried the "high-latency-solution" that didnt work out at all (i ended up crashing my internet cause of 20 youtube streams and 10 video down/uploads and a speed tester... not a great idea i will admit)

I also tried running towards the mines when i landed and that apparantly is no good when your latency is below 150ms.

In the end i found that using my flying broom from the headless horseman event and flying straight into a mine, then dismounting above another mine and mounting in the air, wince and repeat..

Commento di noRLonlyAFK

So I was working on Loremaster of Northrend achi and reached Storm Peaks. I remembered being very frustrated some time ago trying the Mine Sweeper but decided to try again. Grace to the fact that it's the Halloween event I'm using my Flying Broom ( which is the greatest questing mount - no casting time and can be mounted from water too if you jump) and run through all the mines I can. Done! no dismount, no frustration. Too bad the broom is available only 14 days :(.

Commento di PatchyPatch

Patch 4.0.1 has made this achievement very simple due to the knock back effect no longer dismounting you. What you need is any flying mount, I used the ICC Drake to demonstrate this achievement in the video. Fly to the mine field and land in the center of the field. Now that you are in the center start moving toward a mine, when you hit you will be knocked back, start facing your camera and head toward another mine. Never jump or fly just move toward the mines. Check out the video here to see how to.

So after trying this for a good hour or so following the advice above i can say that the flying mount trick does work, but it is not for sure gonna work.

Seems like the only thing most people had in common here was being angry when they finally got it =P

As of Patch 4.0.3, you STILL won't be dismounted after hitting mines (did mine on my rusted proto). Also, you will be able to fly to new mines while in the air after 2 seconds, so it is quicker and easier than running on your own feet. EXTREMELY easy now.

This quest must be completely and utterly broken. I tried everything listed above without exception. 4 seconds (or even 2) cannot possibly be the "grace" period". After 20 explosions (often 2 or 3 at a time) for over 1 hour I still failed to get the achievement.

Something must have broken in 4.0.3a. Has anyone been able to complete it since 4.0.3a went live?

Commento di 704632

Trike is the trick to use , at least for me it was.
I tried all the tips and trix from here, but none worked.

Then i thought, could they have missed to make the trike dismount ?
And yea, took me 2 tries to get it with the trike. Had to keep track of closest mine and where it would send me though, and keep moving to the closest one if i landed to far away.

Edit: Yes, i thought the achievement was bugged, i tried about 30mins the "normal" ways.

Ok once again this is not nearly as easy as some are portraying or at least its not now.

I tried every so called easy technique. And i was just getting ready to chalk it up to "this must be bugged since cata".

Then i tried my rocket mount. And also tried a different technique.

I flew back towards every mine after being exploded. then when i landed in a bunch of them. I would quickly move left to right while going forward. And it seemed like that was working to explode MORE mines at once. Shortly after i got the chieve

Commento di Mavirick

I've been using flying mounts and it doesent appear to work

Commento di 746334

27.12.10 i tried for 1h do this without or with flying mount, both were not succesfull. Trying to run into mines after fall< remembered that 4s period> not successfull, always falling too far from nearest one<tho> Flying mount sometimes didn't fell on ground... Tired, frustrated, just for sure, i did it on my horse, after first few hits, i saw, horse can do distance between me and nearest mine faster<4s>, while i wasn't dismnounted , i dinged achiev in less than 20s :)))

Commento di NecroBones

I tried several of the techniques here and they weren't working. I was sure I was hitting enough mines quickly enough, but no achievement. What finally worked, and you need to be a druid for this, is to switch back to flight form every time the turrets knock you back to caster form, and fly to the nearest bunch of mines. You have to quick on the shapeshifting, but after a few mine clusters, you'll have it.

Commento di 758177

Didn't work dismounted or on flying mount. Only non-flying mount worked. I was trying to do this with the celestial steed and failed, switched to bear mount and it worked right away.

Commento di 464983

Got it on 8/01/11.
Used flying mount.
Simple rule - fly to the nearest mine after explosion. More mines is bettter. That's all.

Commento di hirokiji

This is screwed up. I'm about to throw the com out the window. I have been at this for over 90mins, done it all ways possible and god damn nothing. This is nurfed, bugged, up the ass.

Commento di 773873

There had to have been an update recently or a recent patch that made it harder to obtain. Right now is the lunar festival (which if this affects it then please tell me) and I have been trying to get this for SEVERAL hours.

Who said anything about a 4 second rule? Because I used a stop watch and the only point when time between explosions (yes between the time one mine exploded and the next one) was more than 4 seconds was when I was trying a new method. Other than that I've hit MANY mines with no more than 3 sec between explosions.

As for mount? I've tried on a drake, a wolf, a hawkstrider, a skeletal horse, the headless horse's mount, and a kodo. Nothing has worked despite any tips I've been following from other people.

My conclusion? Whoever has gotten the achievement got it out of luck and nothing else. I've tried every way I've seen someone post "how to" for at least 10 minutes at a time, and even sometimes going back to a previous method and trying again. So all of you that got mad and got it...got it out of luck. Nothing else.

I said good-day!

Commento di SCViper

I just did it a few minutes ago and it works fine. Used my Nether Drake mount, flew through mines, got achievement after a few tries.

Commento di Nelinde

ok so after 30mins of trying to get this achievement on foot and using flying mount, i got fed up so came here.
i used the lag trick.

now im on 100mb bb from virgin so it took me:

10 x HD youtube videos
5 x torrents downloading
tales of the past 3 downloading
logged into my 2nd wow account in SW

just to get my ms up to 163......

BUT

i can confirm that i got the achievement straight away on my blue dragonhawk 14:33pm server time on Quel'thalas. so it is not bugged!

Commento di 778466

Fly into the middle of the minefield.
Get on a ground mount.
Run and hit mines as fast as you can each time you land.

I wasn't dismounted at all, took me all of 2 minutes to get the achievement.

Commento di Skadja

I spent 2 hours trying this using all the tips mentioned in this thread while changing no settings. Then I tried every strategy while absolutely driving my internet performance into the ground. Nothing worked, in fact driving my latency into the ground seemed counterproductive. Rather than causing mines to explode together, I encountered more and more mines just ignoring my presence outright and never exploding if I moved away from them at all, even if I'd run directly over the top of them. If I'd sit and stay so they'd actually explode it took too long. It just was not working for me.

I have a strong computer and a good internet connection, so I finally decided to see what would happen if I reversed course and instead made my connection and computer run as well as possible. I set all graphical settings to the lowest levels possible. I disabled sound. I made sure that WoW was the only thing using my internet connection. Once my latency was under 100, I tried again.

Now the mines were more responsive, exploding the moment I got near enough to trigger them. I wasn't having delays as I'd try to get close enough to a mine, or mines that I would run over which would not explode at all. I got it within 2 attempts, on my ground mount.

If you can get your latency to 100 or lower, try reducing all your settings and dropping your latency as far as possible instead.

Commento di 756332

I don't believe any way really works on this, and if you've had success with a particular strategy you just happened to get lucky.
It's complete luck whether you land anywhre near a mine and often you land near one and it doesn;t go off whilst other times you can be between 2 that you're not even touching and they explode.
Tedius and boring achievement.

Commento di 251149

Well, I call BS on every method posted here. I tried with my bandwidth limited, mounted, not mounted, flying mount, standing on my head... etc etc.

Nothing I did worked.

Edit: SOMETHING I did worked, though I have no idea what. I suppose it could have been one of the times I cranked my bandwidth down to 100b per second. I never got the achievement complete text, but it's done. (thank goodness!)

Commento di Kate452

I think this achievement is bugged like the same way mine and bounce is.
Aka only works sometimes on different server. My suggestion is to do right after server restart.

Took me 4 days and it worked after a server restart.

("Completed" the mine achievement three times on different days. Each time other people near me from other servers got the achievement, but I didn't. And I believe everyone have had problems with bounce if not on their main, their alts.)

Commento di 712742

After watching some videos and reading up on this, I found a relatively easy way to do this that doesnt require addons, downloads, or bogging down your connection...

Mount up on your fastest mount and pan the camera directly overhead.

Fly directly DOWN at all times, aiming for the closest, largest cluster of mines.

Since you are on your mount, you will take very little dmg and the speed of your mount will get you back to the mines faster. It will take several tries, but you will get it in relatively short order.

Remember to fly directly down to the mines, not laterally losing precious time on your 4 sec timer.

Commento di Iknewkungfu

OK, after reading the different strategies, here is the power-combo i've come up with: as the posts above said, flying straight down into the ground and running a little to trigger seems to be the best solution. The important thing I found is the choice of mount. I was using my cute little netherwing drake at the time just out of habit, but it was annoying because I couldn't see what I was doing as clearly. I pulled out the armored snowy gryphon and could barely trigger a mine when i was standing on it! That got me thinking, and so I lastly pulled out the Proto-drake, and it worked wonders.
Moral of the story is: USE THE BIGGEST MOUNT YOU HAVE!
the increased visual size does in fact change the distance from which you trigger the mines. Like I said the proto worked best because it had a large size length and width, as compared to a netherdrake which is long but thin, or a gryphon which is just tiny. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Commento di rebjorn

Someone mentioned that Magic Carpet won't dismount you, I'll add that Drake of the West Wind also works. It's likely that other Cataclysm mounts work too.

Commento di moopert

boom goes the dynamite

Commento di Marloss

If you are a druid, use Flight Form. When you hit mines you will be forced out of the form, just enter it again and fly into any nearby mines. Repeat this until you get the achievement. You should get it shortly.

Commento di 794615

I'm not sure when, but this achievement was made vastly more difficult at some point at or before Cataclysm came out. I never experienced this during LK, so I can't directly compare. But this is NOT NEARLY as easy as some of the older comments seem to suggest.

There is no counter, so you can't keep track of your hits.
There is no confirmed time limit for the grace period between mine explosions.
Flying mounts don't make a difference - you can't control them at all while under the effects of the mine blast.
Just a sliver of local or server lag can mean the difference between being blasted the direction you want, and being blasted in the completely wrong direction.
It just takes one poorly-directed blast to launch you entirely out of the field.

For some reason, Blizzard removed all potential skill from this achieve and made it entirely luck. Not as fun as I imagine it used to be.

Commento di 808346

OK....I tried to do it with a bronze drake, and celestial steed. I still haven't got it yet what am i doing wrong? i know i hit about almost 15 of them i do think it has to do with cataclysm came out. I dont know how this easy to do cause i try not to land and nothing.....do u have to get hit by 10 of them at once or something?

Commento di 816731

I believe the trick here is a fast ground mount. They've added bombs that will knock you off a flying mount, but when I used my goblin turbo trike this achievement became very easy again. The mines did not knock me off, and I was able to reach the mines much faster on landing, and completed the achievement very quickly. Hope this helps.

Commento di weirdunclebob

I tried almost every tip and combination of tips from all posts and still couldn't get the achievement. Tried turning my graphics all the way down then up. Nope. Flying mount, ground mount; same-same. Loads of You Tube vids just froze everything but didn't make an iota of difference. Nearly gave up...

Then I tried my proto-drake and got it within a minute or so. >.< Yay

Commento di 494318

I tried with it flying mount, was getting hit around for like 5 minutes. Thought it won't work with flying work. Tried without mount. If you are paladin it will be easier, because of the flying damage. Just try to calculate the route to the next mine. Use Lay on Hands if needed. I get it after 1 minute jumping around. It's all about luck actually. Don't give up! :)

Commento di 825244

If you are 85 like me, you will have lots of trouble, the mines literally don´t detect you, so you will step over 2, 4 or 6 till they explode. Really annoying, blizzard should fix it. Anyways, after a lot of tried, 20 minutes or so, I managed to do it with earth mount, not flying mount. But main problem for 85s is that mines just don´t detect you -.-

Commento di fusionsoul

Thank you so much. For some reason the Rocket Mount worked when no others did. You are awesome :D

Commento di 8294

Flying Mount worked for me took about 5 minutes, specifically drake of the west wind

Commento di wlof

As a druid, switching to flight form mid-air and aiming down for the nearest mine while trying not to touch the ground did the trick for me. Thanks to all who suggested it!

Commento di Cupcakee

EXTREMELY irritating achievement. Ok so here's how I did it. It took about 15 minutes.

- Use Drake of the West Wind or some similar mount. It worked the best for me out of about 5 mounts including land and air mounts.
- Angle your camera straight down at the ground so you can see all of the mines
- Tap W in rapid succession so you take little short movements forward when you're near a mine. It sounds weird but it worked for me since a lot of people at 85 were having trouble being detected.
- Crusader Aura helps if you've got it.
- Make sure as soon as you get launched in the air you're ready to drop your mount back to the ground.

Commento di 354455

for lvl80+ heroes
1- you need to put some download on to make a heavy lag
2- just run on mines and you will get achive before you can even see any explosion
3- then cut the downloads and enjoy how far you will go in the air
Note:only damage you will take is falling damage and you might die (i died) if you did recurect on the mines (i did) and start running again (i did) and i had like 50+ explosion - used levitate and landed near K3
screenshot will be uploaded

Commento di Jaadis

I had bit of trouble trying to do this as druid. I went in with swift flightform and immediately landed towards next mine when 1 exploded. Counted about 12 explosions this way but no achievement.

Then i read here that multiple mines count, so i aimed landing in the middle of mine packs. That was roughly 4 big explosions and got the achievement.

Commento di amyetheradest

NOTHING WORKS! I HATE THIS ACHV!

Commento di limivorous

Having messed around with various mounts on this i found the exalted guild mount (Dark Phoenix) works well on this.
It also gives a quite nice "cheep" every time the mount gets hit my a mine :)

Oh and it appears you are only dismounted whilst on the quest to get the toolbox from the minefield and not after you finish that q...

Commento di Declaron

Just got this, i can definitely confirm (although for what reason is unknown) that Drake Of The West Wind seems to pick up mines better than any other mount. Tried for 30 mins on ground mounts, flying mounts, low lag, high lag etc. and just before i pulled the trigger blam, one life saved.

Commento di 743774

What I did was fly to a good cluster of mines then, fly straight down into them and the moment I hit the ground, I strafed left and right like crazy, trying to hit as many mines as I could at once before I could be sent up, I repeated this a few times and that's how I got the achievement.

Commento di Feylix

Drake of the West Wind worked perfectly for this achievement.

Tried with winged guardian, cenarion war hippogryph, different ground mounts, my levitate-skill, nothing worked.

Commento di KikiyoDragon

Got this one using the Ashes of Al'ar. Seems to have picked up multiple mines better than my Drake of the West Wind, Black War Bear and Grand Black War Mammoth. Used a similar method explained above, simply mounted up, flew to a good cluster of mines and strafe-spammed (Q and E), trying to fly directly downward after each explosion.

Commento di 319076

Note for mounts - maybe they've been nerfed? I tried this mounted (on Jun-30-2011) with both flying and ground mounts, and was unable to get the achievement after 10 minutes each. I tried it unmounted and got the achievement in 5 minutes.

Flying Mount works for sure!

Commento di xxRevolver

For those who are having as much trouble with this as I was:
1. If you're getting kicked off your flying mount, it's because you have the quest Just Around The Corner. Turn the quest in or abandon it, and the turrets will no longer bother you.
2. Get on your biggest flying mount- it seems to affect the range at which the mines will blow up.
3. Start in the middle, where there is a goblin sitting in the middle of a circle of turrets. This makes it easier to stay within the bounds of the minefield.
4. Stay moving constantly, and aim your mount directly at the ground. It will save you from fall damage, and also gives you a tiny amount of extra time, since you are moving directly towards the ground instead of waiting for your character to slowly fall.

In the end, it comes down to luck. Sometimes the mines just won't activate, even though you're right on top of them. But this will give you your best chance at getting it done.

Commento di 868058

For any whom are still having problems, I used the Grand Black War Mammoth(You could use the Travelers' Ice Mammoth, or the Grand Ice Mammoth). I got it in one try.

So I just tried a number of different things to get this achieve. What worked for me and my friend was we got on flying mounts and she was a pally. Put on crusader and after an hour of attempts by my self with crusader we got it in one try. So try it with a pally friend.

Commento di jlrm365

Other suggestions might work for some people, but they were not working for me. I'd seen the comments about certain mounts no longer working. Then I read Cassey's comment:

in 4.1 I did it on my flying nether ray mount, so atleast they still work for this. was fun to do so hehe :)

The first ray in my collection was / is the Blue Riding Nether Ray. I got on that and started out, from the middle of the mine field (where the NPC Janks is).

The mount appears to fly, even while on the ground. It also seems that the 4 second rule does still apply, so don't worry about hitting the ground. Just get to another cluster as soon as possible.

Perhaps I didn't get it immediately (maybe one or two didn't explode), but I just kept steering at mines and trying to angle myself to face the middle of the mine field (so I'd get blasted inward).

The achievement was mine within minutes and I added a point to Cassey's comment.

One massive bonus to the (Blue Riding) Nether Ray is that I took almost no damage - even after being blasted several times (Every other mount I had tried ended up with me eating / bandaging.).

Commento di Mirrodin

Damn it, i tried this achieve today, i was flying from mine to mine, while sometimes it took me 2 secs to go to the next mine and some mines were taking 2-3secs to detonate.
My latency was good, so i guess i was unlucky about this slow detonation.

is this bugged? tried doing this on my rogue just now, i can stay in flight on my netherdrake and cenarion mounts, but still dont seem to get ach. i cant hit enough mines without mount though. i know i have hovered over enough mines on my flying mounts without hitting the ground but no achieve. eh?

There is absolutely NO WAY this achievement is working.

Commento di Esploratore

As of patch 4.2 and after A LOT, but really a lot of different tries, I got into my sand-stone drake, and tried to follow the trick that someone posted on youtube to get caught by more than one mine at a time (and also one of the first posters here said).

Got 6-7 explosions, landed for like 1 second during some of them, and I got it.

Used the sand-stone drake for the very purpose of getting caught by as many mines as possible, for its size, so I wouldn't recommend an hyppogryph, or a little mount, or without mount.

Commento di Liri

I was unable to get this achievement to ding using any of the mounts ground or air. (I have 120 so I had several to try), graphics and mods at 0. Since I was on my shaman I used wolf form and my engineering sprint and was able to pick it up with no trouble at all. Might be worth trying the way its 'supposed' to be done if your having trouble with the mounts.

Commento di 880198

I got this today. heres how I did it. my guildiehad rocket mount from recruit the friend program, I invited im in the party he mounted and I took the second place in his rocket mount. mines were expoding two times faster then when I was trying with my mounts. after just 1 minute we both got that achi. hope this helps good luck:)

Has changed somewhat, there are now underground turrets that will blow you off your mount placed all around field so the flying mount idea is now void. Also skimming across and setting off mine while on a flying mount, will dismount you. Back to the old-fashioned "find the path" method for the quest while you`re there.

I used the winged guardian to get it. I recommend not to watch the ach. tracker, because it does not keep track; however do not get discouraged because of this just keep flying and running into the mines. if you do that it is really easy. I give my thanks to all the people before me that have spent hours on this and passed on the information. It is also still four sec. for damage, and if you take damage it will reset. this is still true.

I can confirm the mount trick still works. Got this in less than 5mins on Corrupted Firehawk.
Sometimes got left in mid-air after an explosion,but as long I flew back down sharpish for the next mine it still counted.

Commento di Mathaylla

Thanks to all the people that suggested using large model-sized flying mounts. I've tried it before on land mounts (like mammoths) and the Flameward Hippogryph, without much luck. Got the achievement on my druid today using the Vitreous Stone Drake mount. The achievement doesn't track so you can't really gauge how close you are - you just have to keep going. I basically just tried landing as quickly as possible, swiping as many mines as possible with the drake's wings (that bit wasn't particularly useful since the drake folds its wings in on landing - it probably would've worked better with a proto-drake, I just didn't have one to try). I tried pointing my camera straight down and forcing the drake to move downward just in case it decided to pause in mid-air. After about 10 minutes of bouncing around I got the achievement.

Commento di 166118

land DIRECTLY on mines EVERY time you land!

I finally completed this horrible Achievement. I thought it would be fun like, Viaggio di piacere

The "tips" were totally unhelpful, though(sorry folks). I tried every one over a few days and all of them failed. If there was any running or flying involved I did not get it. I finally got it when each and every time I landed DIRECTLY on mines ,** and each landing was only a couple explosions so I didn't go too high. Each time one blows, it pushes you upwards so you go higher with the more you hit at once. (hit too many, you go too high)

**If you want to know I was in Flight form but I don't think it would have mattered. I picked FF because I took very minor damage and could do it a long time. Unless after I post this Blizz decides to change that too.

I tried the ground mount, the flying mount, Flight Form, and every Moonkin form. I tried each way many times over several minutes. I never got dismounted or changed out. I always steered towards the center and towards mines quickly( a couple seconds) but without a counter, who knows? I tried to lag out my computer like suggested, but still a no go. Until I hit every time I didn't get it.

Good luck. Its too bad this one wasn't fun at all :(

It took me a long time to get this, but I figured it out. I turned my graphics as low as they could go (I usually run on ultra), got on the biggest mount I had (A proto-drake), flew to the middle of the field, and I got the achievement within a matter of minutes.

Turning your graphics down all the way will help because your computer will spend less time trying to process the graphics and more time detecting collision with the mines.

Commento di 780511

Tried 'normal' methods for about an hour, gave up and reverted to the latency trick.

On unixoid systems (Mac OS, maybe Linux), try (ab)using your firewall like this (needs root):

mount up and position yourself in front of a mine group
open a terminal and type
*** if you're actually using your firewall, don't forget to adjust the rule / pipe numbers if need be ***
(and if you didn't understand the last line don't worry, you probably don't need to adjust this)

sudo su
(your password at the prompt)
ipfw add 100 pipe 1 all from any to any
ipfw pipe 1 config delay 1500

ED: now all your network traffic will be delayed by 1.5sec, which should give you plenty of time to run into 10 mines.
run through the mines
once the achievement is shown in the message window (everything else will take some time....), fly up and go back to the terminal
(still as root) type

ipfw del 100

(Don't forget this or you'll stay lagged at 1.5s+.)

Your firewall should be back to normal now, in-game you'll bounce around wildly, and the achievement sound & pic will pop up (or maybe a bit earlier).

Commento di Cayslia

You have to get lucky.

I opened about 15 of the same video on Youtube, got on my red protodrake, and stormed through the inner ring of bombs as fast as I could. Failure. Flew back, tried it again. Failure. Again, and again. Ran back, success! So everything everyone is saying might help, but you still have to get lucky. Flying mounts reduce the chance that you will die trying, but if you are in the air too long the achieve will reset. Big mounts increase your footprint and trigger more bombs. You lose control of your mount for a couple of seconds; it is possible to land within those couple of seconds, in which case try to be facing bombs you can run into, but you can also be left in the air and need to fly down. If you are trying to use lag to help you, you might need to fiddle with how laggy you get. The first time I tried lagging it out, it was too much and the bombs didn't even see me run by, and then I tried it with not enough lag, and somehow ended up dying as well as failing. And still, you need to be lucky.

I do wish there was a counter to show how close you were to getting it, obviously if you're getting 9 hits trying a method, it would be worth trying it a few more times before trying something else, and the opposite if you're only getting 3 hits. It's the uncertainty that makes all of us wonder if anything is working.

Commento di 829815

If you don't have a flying carpet, there is another mount that acts practically the same: Heart of the Aspects.

Had a pretty hard time with this achievement. Proud owner of the Phosporescent Stone Drake, it is my flying mount of choice. So naturally I went with that one into the mine field, but after 10 minutes of not getting the achievement I started to wonder if I did anything wrong. I did land a lot, since it was hard to keep the mount hovering. Then I got a brain wave, mounted Heart of the Aspects, and withing 20 seconds I got my achievement! Turns out, The Heart of the Aspects mount doesn't land! It just floats, even when "hitting" the ground, kind of like a flying carpet.

Finally I got some use off those 20 euros! :-)

I assure you the easy KEY to this achieve is the X-53 rocket. The rocket will fly sideways when hitting a mine at an angle and is MUCH easier to direct and fly back into the minefield than ANY of the flying mounts I tried. Got this achieve in 20 secs of trying the X-53. Vs over an hour of flying / ground mounts.

Commento di Refardeonn

Confirming as of 4/28/2012 you CAN get this achievement without the use of a large model mount. After 20 or so minutes, I got this on my Paladin that I was leveling using a 280% speed gryphon mount.

Try and run into clusters --- as in, if there is a clearing and 5 or so mines bordering it, run into the clearing to make sure more than one mine explodes.

I tried with flight mount, land mount but finally did it, after the quest was completed on foot and, all I did was run to nearest mine, if there were 2 mine's together i ran in the middle of them to set them both off i had multiple mines go off in 2's took me and hour and half to get it.

Commento di rhastia

While I can't say this actually has anything to do with getting the achievement, this seemed to work for me. I changed my direction in mid air and then ran directly towards the mine. I never managed to get it while strafing, and after changing that tiny thing, I got it almost immediately.

Commento di wolfefin

There's a great comment in here from this year which was very helpful. I also tried in druid flight form, but didn't have as much luck as julshunt and couldn't get it. So I tried doing it as Tarecgosa's Visage instead (from the legendary staff) and got it in literally 30 seconds. Highly recommend trying that if you have the staff and are frustrated. The mine's don't break the Visage and Tarecgosa's fat butt seems to hit the mines better I guess :-)

Commento di Novacubs

do it me and a friend (both 85) in a mechano hog,
with the extra area of the bike, we do it in like a 2 tries. He was the passenger and he also got, at the same time, the achievement with me.

Commento di brudarek

Tried on foot, mammoth mount, drake mounts, no joy.

Switched to nether ray mount and got it right away.

Commento di 761895

Just got this while using Vial of the Sands, takes an insane amount of patience and even more luck!

Commento di Senppuu

I've read ALL the comments, tried all the methods (big mounts, flying mounts, lagging the game, unlagging the game), but at the and I used a simple method and it worked on the second try, I used a flying mount, and what I did was dive with my mount to the mine and jump while holding X, so I wouldn't leave the ground (somehow this helped a LOT to trigger the mines and even the ones around, keep repeating the proccess until you get the achiev!

Commento di liur

I just did using this video as reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8XT60R2pFU

just fly down and run straight to the closer mine

Commento di 997152

Just did this today took me several hours. I tried all the mount tricks over and over and even without the mount and with no luck. I remember reading something about lag so I gave something one last try. My laptop is not the top of the line and I have to run my game graphics on fair and on the HoT dungeons I have to drop to poor due to lag. I switched my graphics to good and started running over mines in the middle of field next to toolbox and after about 5 secs lots of explosions and my achievement popped up. Can't say this will work with every ones pc but worked with mine. Did this with no mount. Good Luck

Commento di moonra

Being on the quest will dismount you when hit by the cannons.
So do this after finishing the quest.

Commento di 169239

Did this fairly easily with a ground mount. With the very small grace period you have to get to another mine to keep the chain up, it definitely did help. Don't try this achievement without being on a ground mount imo.

Commento di 1013545

What I did was go into the options settings and change my graphics to low because the mines didin't explode when i stepped on them. That seemed to do the trick

P.S i used a mount, any mount should do the trick for you

Commento di HolybeardGalak

completed in patch 4.3 on Violet proto, just flew into mines over and over

Commento di 1016756

I just did this quest yesterday, though it did take me a while...I couldnt open enough youtube video or open enough other games to create enough lag for the one suggestion to work. So I just ran around and around and around and it just finally went off. So is doable without creating a bunch of lag.

Commento di Luxiana

Forget every post in every corner on the net, just do as follows:

1) Mount any proto-drake.
2) Fly directly to one mine.
3) When you explode first mine, fly directly to another, walking on the ground with your flying mount.
4) Do that until the achievement.

EXACTLY LIKE THE VIDEO BELLOW:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8XT60R2pFU

Don't bother with anything else.

Easiest achievement in a while.

Commento di Aurorasflame1

I have been trying this for almost an hour. After the third or fourth hit, it sends me someplace where there are either no bombs left, or completely out of the mine field. I was mounted on my proto drake

Commento di 551668

When the mines blast you away from all the other mines, no matter which way you're facing... :(

Commento di 1011992

I got this achi today using the proto drake method, worked a treat.

Commento di rei25

can do it on your mount too, i did mine on my dark phoenix

Commento di 1028413

I dont know why but i cant get it, been tryin the protodrake method for over a half hour

Commento di 1035276

I tried this for 30 min using all the tips provided, but nothing worked. Eventually after some time playing around, i managed to get the achievement.

What to do:
I'm a lvl 85 Mage and managed to get this after playing around in less than 20 seconds. I started off at the back and ran into the first set of 3 or 4 mines. You then get blown back in to a next set and so on. Eventually i landed outside a land mine zone and all i did was use the Blink spell and turned quickly which pushed me in to a set of 3 odd mines of which i got the achievement.

If you are lvl 85 and geared good, dont worry about healing or buffing shields as you are just wasting time and there seems to be a good 3 - 4 second safe period before you should hit your next mine. Make sure to be quick.

Mounts do not work as i tried numerous times and nothing.

Completed in Patch 5.0.5

Commento di 857260

The lag works quite well. I found myself in an area where gameplay was impossible due to a terrible connection (listed world lag as 7860 ms, but really even worse) and I just ran around on a mount and as soon as it went off...achievement.

Commento di lichkilla

ok so since MoP there is an easy way to do this without banging your head on a wall. i just spent two hours trying all the tips provided here with no success. i tried tons of different mounts and methods and none worked. until i used my pandaran kite mount. it has such a large base i was able to land on 4 -5 mines at once, assuring that at least one would explode in time. had my achiev within 30 seconds of trying it with the kite mount.
tl;dr - dont use these old methods. pandaran kite string mount ftw.

Commento di 1084183

I just did this today on foot. My strategy was to approach one of the mines on the outside ring from the inside. So when it blows it would throw me into the middle of the rest. You get a couple of lucky landings in the middle there and you will get the ach.

Commento di Trophyon

I just got this achieve after many tries. It's not possible to use mounts of any kind to get the achieve anymore fyi. The thing to do when you land is to jump, continue to do that every time you land and whoop!. Achievement earned! :)

Commento di 1094256

this ach is so impossible to get i have done everything but still cannot get the ach. any help would be appreciated.

Commento di 1106964

This was epic fail. Was not able to do. Might be due to the new path of 5.2. Is anyone else having the issue doing this?

Commento di Lyariana

Just tried today and cannot do this.. whether mounted or not.
Mind you, I might just suck at landing in mines XD

Commento di Joim

After trying literally all ways to get the achievement in this page on several hours, I filled a ticket. A GM told me the achievement might be bugged (thanks for warning Blizzard), also told me that the programmers were supposedly working on this. I took his words as a grain of salt, but if no one else can get it, it might be truly bugged.

Commento di ivanmex

I was actually able to get the achievement just now,although i tried 3 weeks ago and it seemed bugged for me too.I just mounted my ground mount,went to the center of the field,and started running into mines.Even if you don't land right onto a mine,you can run to one,still counts.

Commento di Kalnazzar

I finally got this achievement after about a week of trying. All the tips i read here and nothing really helped what i did to get this was i used the Ice Mammoth mount and i did everything i could to stay in the cluster of mines in the middle of the field were the 4 torrents are when i got blown up into the air i would try to angel myself to land/or run toward a mine and blowup back toward the middle and thin i would run and jump into another big cluster. Hope this helps and thank GOD i never have to do this again.

Commento di 1136255

If anyone else has read the Heart of the Aspects tip and is thinking to himself.To get on a flying mount and after each explosion to fly in the air and then gently bringing himself back just enough so he can activate the mines but not touch the ground and just repeat the process.Let me tell you it does not work.I got it by mounting my proto drake and just rolling all around for 10 minutes until I got it by chance.

Commento di 1064648

Confirmed this achievement is no longer bugged and is now possible again! Even a low level player can do it by themselves if they are capable of instant heal spamming themselves.

Commento di Paky

Could this be bugged again?

Commento di Sylentiger

Just got this achieve, so its NOT Bugged. I Was Not Mounted. Put your toon on Auto Run and aim for a cluster of mines. An overhead view is best for this. I can also confirm that you have a few seconds of "grace period" that allows you to run to the next cluster of mines. Its best done solo so you have the max number of mines available.

Commento di Darthvixen

got it today, using the red flying cloud to avoid taking fall damage. already finished all the storm peaks quests first. just let the mines punt you airborne on the cloud, as i neared landing i would mouse turn toward the nearest mine and continue on. eventually all that bouncing around will get the achievement to pop. i did attempt to do this dismounted, but falling damage stacks up to a point where you'd want to avoid dying. with the flying cloud, i didn't take as much falling damage and the size of the cloud made moving to the nearest mine at landing easier than my attempts with a proto drake

Commento di pat33

READ THIS , done it today on a drud (method tested got ach in 15 sec)

Method is

1)Slam yourself on mines in BIRDFORM.
2)detonation= Humanoid form: When air born change to humanoid form a split second.
3) Then retake birdform fast as u can, dont waste time, just slam again *

bird-slam-man ------bird-slam-man----- bird-slam-man (like a deranged chicken peck peck peck!)

*u have to simulate like if u were constantly in humanoid form but in birdform its better for control.

Hope it helps

Birdform= kamikaze on bombs
humanoid= step on the bomb = airborn = bird

Commento di ph0tek

Attention MONKS: Using Zen Flight trivializes this. Just cast Zen Flight and fly around to the mines at your leisure until the achievement pops. Literally.

Commento di fendred

Just got this achievement within about 10 mins of trying. Mounted on a Frostwolf Howler (pre-wrath mount to try and avoid any issues with mounts it might not have been designed for).
I used the game's stopwatch feature (click on the time under your minimap then click show stopwatch), starting it when I ran into the first mine cluster and ending my 'attempt' after about 13 seconds, then waiting a little while.
My thinking is that if you just keep running without stopping you have no way of knowing if those two massive clusters you just hit in a row are counted in the same 10 second window, or if the timer has reset in between since the achievement tracker is completely useless here.

I don't know if it helped but I've been trying this on and off for a few years with no luck (and plenty of rage) until now, so please upvote if the stopwatch helps you at all.

Commento di PrairieChicken

I just did the achieve, no mounts or anything, just stepped on mines until achievement popped. Took about 20 min.

Use healing spec if you can and pick as much passive movement boosts as possible.

Commento di RagnorZ

Achieved this today in 5.4.7, lame achievement... used the Pandaren Kite mount and timer method mentioned by fendred.

Commento di kaminarii

As has been said before, if you have it, use the Heart of the Aspects mount. Just thought I would put it closer to the top, being as the other post was from 4.3.something or other, saving precious reading time and more achievement getting time! Still works as of 5.4.8, just got mine on my druid on 6/30/14. I started out in the middle with the camera looking down. Don't really think there is a way to make your char go a certain way, try and find the clusters of mine on the way back down. There's a couple seconds down time between each jump so make them count. I also tried just about every other suggestion I read until I got to the Aspects mount. Did it, got the achieve in about 30 seconds. Don't give up!

Commento di MasterIzumi

Been doing this for 2 hours straight... Tried without a mount and running into the closest mine I could, tried on multiple flying mounts and just running into them as well as trying to fly up and drop onto them. Tried on a ground mount too. No luck at all. Idk what else to do. =(

Commento di 1325847

This is soo stupid. I've been at it for HOURS and nothing is working. I've tried everything. Flying mounts, ground mounts. Im 90 and im just running over them not triggering anything on a mount. Ive tried lagging, ive tried auto run, and always looking down. It doesnt work, and apparently im not lucky like all the others that only got theirs out of luck. There is no timer, no counter, no stupid achievement aura or anything. So how the heck am I supposed to know if I'm even making progress and not just wasting my time?

Commento di Madbunny

First to make it clear if you have high latency forget it. First post it say it should be way to do this achiev. but from my experience it makes everything much harder. My latency is around 50-60 and once i opened a gazillion of por... ehm. youtube videos many mines didnt go off at all. My suggestion: take a fly mount who cant walk e.g. Fenice Oscura and try to lover your latency as much as you can. Then start from the middle and be quick to get to the next mine once you land (yes you have 3-4 sec between two explosions). Little luck and rng on your side for sure comes handy but thats it nothing else you can do. I almost gave up when i got the achievement. Time spent: around 20-30 min.

Commento di loltrix

Tried flying, running, spamming youtube, alot of the tacts mentioned, nothing seemed to work.
So I tried using a ground mount, since it lands and doesnt stay flying and erase your "grace period", and I didn't get dismounted...
So i had 100% speed, could very fast "run"/RIDE to next set of mines.

When I did this, the achieve was done within 2 min (after trying an hour or so with other tactics)... Hope this helps :)

Commento di HyruleJock

So, I tried over a year ago to do this chieve and it was really buggy for me when I did it. I just decided to come back and try it again (WoD), read the comments first and saw that people were doing it with flying mounts that CANNOT WALK. This worked for me! I used my Sunreaver Dragonhawk and just flew into mines WHILE HOLDING SPACE BAR (or whatever you use to fly up). Got it within 30 seconds. Easy peasy. Thankyou!

Commento di jem30six

April 2015.....
After months of trying and avoiding this achievement I finally got it. I'm in the Oceanic region, and i thought that being on a US server was the main cause of not getting it, but even after transferring to an Oceanic server based in Australia, I still couldn't get it.

But today i did! My fps were about 30. only cause my video card is broken, my MS is 30. I'm not close to the servers.

This particular time I tried for about an 30 minutes, jumping and trying to face the right direction, or standing still and hoping it flung me in the right direction, On the attempt that worked... I turned and ran to the nearest group of bombs, and kept doing that, so the explosions were as close together (timing) as possible, and tried to get multiple bomb explosions, and it worked.

They lie.... you can land, you can run, and you can still get this achievement!

Commento di scorpion8125

What the frickety FRACK?

Came for this last WoTK chieves I don't have, and I CAN'T see the mines/mine field.

I have tried relogging, etc. with no luck.

This truly sux!

Commento di Tynael

I completed this achievement today 15/04/2015. I used a ground mount that cannot fly like Great Red Elekk. I also walked between mines when needed and popped the achievement in 30 seconds.

Commento di deathbatsuicide

I tried for over a hour with multiple mounts and none of them worked until I tried a cloud serpent. Still took a couple of attempts. The most frustrating thing was the mines do not always go off when you hit them. So be patient.

Commento di Rahaf

My Experience:

I got this late but I did it :) .. Guys after trying so many times and failing it. I hope my way helps some people who are still struggling to do this.
1. Take any drake mount your like. I used my Volcanic Stone Drake I have noticed that (I might be wrong) that the bigger the mount the better chance you have to get this as fast as possible.

2. Come to the mine area, right in the middle and Land , and walk to the mines, you will notice that the hit chances are higher and you will almost get your achievement in your fifth land.

Hope if works for you guys.

Good Luck!

Commento di helvas

Managed to get it after using Treccia di Gamon and Elisir della Crescita Gigante, as it seems those two items enlarge your hitbox. Start from the very center, jump on any mine and, after bouncing and landing, rush the nearest mine. You might also use Restringimondo if you have Engineering.

Commento di Zarcelito

For many players this achievement will be matematically impossible to accomplish. Latency plays a huge role here because of it depends how fast the approaching response to mines will work. Since you only have tenths of a second from mine to mine to not fail in the timer, if you have more than 200-300 latency you should forget about trying to do this.

Sad but true.

Commento di shovelready

use a mount that doesnt have legs and keep as close to the mines as possible, keep flying towards the mines when you are supposively landing.

Commento di KiritaWindwalker

Throwing my two cents in: Luck. All Luck.

I tried most of the easy methods including Flight form, huge mounts, flying mounts... No deal.

After 30 minutes I said f*ck it and decided ran... ON FOOT! I aimed to hit 1 mine at a time and sometimes hit 2. I did not land on a mine every time, I had to run a short distance a few times.

Moral? More mines hit means higher flight and you cant stop that flight with flyers so you end up so high it'll reset. If your having trouble just try hoofing it instead and hit singles over and over. It may take a few minutes but It was so much faster then the mounted ones...

Good luck to everyone whos trying!

Commento di Woubbie

I've tried this a number of times over the years and finally wanted to get it off my list. Watched a YouTube video with a simple way to get it done. Buff up, no mount, always looking for the closest mine to your landing trajectory. Got it done in about a minute. Finally!

Commento di Sarthorius

For all of you trying any strategy there, and failing, you have 4 FULL SECONDS from the time you get blown up, to get hit by another mine. For me, what worked was getting on a prodrake, fly up, then down right into where the goblin is, aiming at a pack of mines, as soon I get blown up, I pitch the camera down, flying to next pile or mine, making sure I didn't get past the 4 seconds hidden counter, even I you land within that time, but GET HIT BY OTHER MINE ASAP you get blow up.

Commento di huntardy

Tried a few times over the yrs and with different mounts including one with no legs after reading on here. Often got bored after 10 mins of fails. Tried again, after 10 mins switched to sandstone drake with positioned camera directly behind me and used the x key to lower after each explosion. Done in 60 seconds.

Commento di Messier12345

Just got it today after trying out and I got it in less than 5 minutes:

1. Set graphics to ultra high (the best)
2. Get on your RED FLYING CLOUD (MoP mount. I have tried everything from mammoths to drakes to serpents but it didn't work for me)
3. Start from the middle and keep running into mines for a good 5 minutes until you get it.

All the best!

Commento di tellos0

This seems to no longer be bugged. Just get on a flying mount and go towards the mines.

Commento di Peradon2304

I use Treccia di Gamon and Corno per Libagioni dei Vrykul then ride any chinese dragon, keep running through the mines. I got achievement in 3 minutes.

Commento di Oswaldovzki

This is how I have done it: mount up (flying mount) and run like crazy into the mine. Sometimes you will fly and not land, just dive into more mines. Don't stand still, run into the mines. I stepped at 20+ mines but got the achievement. Don't know exactly how, but i got it :)

Commento di Whippr

After 30m of trying to get this achieve, I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working after using a flying mount and following the other suggestions here. Then I noticed the comments about shields and bubbles for mages and paladins. I removed the Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric I had on and got the achieve immediately using a flying mount. I can't be 100% sure the Opus prevented the achieve since you can't track progress, but if you are having troubles and are wearing this piece, try removing it. Cheers.

Commento di bartman40467

Started in the middle, mounted my Violet Proto-Drake, ran through the mines, and in less than 10 seconds had the achievement.

If you have trouble with this achievement, just unequip your clothes or if you have spells who can give you shield, don’t use them. Then you’ll be able to do this achievement in under 1 min. This worked for me at last.

This achievement may currently be bugged I swear. I have tried EVERY approach mentioned in these comments (at some point hit 6 + 6 pack of mines one after another!) and nothing works. Can anyone confirm they earned it recently?

Commento di e3li7e

Can confirm I just received this achievement today(9/29/20). I kept trying on my main server and couldn't get it after an hour or so, then I went to Fizzcrank and got it. I think it's all down to luck personally how you land on the mines. Have been trying off and on for months now on my main server, but this was my first time trying a different server, so maybe that's the trick idk. Good luck.

Commento di RedMacks

I have tried every suggestion from internet and from here... nothing worked... except one simple thing :)...

1. Remove all clothes (just in case...)
2. Don't use any mounts (very important...)
3. Begin from the middle
4. Step on a mine, then while fly-dropping to another location, try to target (as if using a flymount) another mine, +/- on the mine, or near it...
5. It is okay to land near it and make 2, 3 steps to another mine...

I did like that, and got the achieve in 10 seconds.

Try it, maybe works for you too...

Commento di LaCarnivora

Did it today. Without mounting.

Something to note:
When mounting a flying mount, it automatically gets shot down, and you get unmounted. (so no point trying).
And size doesn't matter. Trust me I'm a gnome and accidentally drank the potion to make me smaller during this process...

I did it after not trying to run around. Started more or less in the middle and then right-clicked on the mines near me. So it does take a bit of luck to land near mines. I got blown into the air about 5x and then got the achievement, so multiple mines going off at once does seem to count. This auto actives according to proximity.

+/- start area, but it's not guaranteed.
/way 34.7 87.8 Mine Sweeper

Commento di deepspace8

These things will kill you if you're not paying attention. I activated Ice Block at one point to regen my health with the cool Night Fae ability. That's also when I noticed you don't have to be right on top of the mines for them to go off. You also can land. You have so much time to launch again. You'll get this achievement in no time.

Commento di bronchitis

Did it easily on my Cacciatore di Demoni: find somewhere with lots of mines around, and run (unmounted) to a mine. Now, each time you get thrown in the air, use your Planata to direct yourself to a cluster of nearby mines.

Note: you should probably cancel Planata once you're in the right direction, to reduce the fall time and allow yourself some more time to run to the mine if you miss.

Good luck!

Commento di Blairwitch

Has anyone been able to complete this recently?
I have tried all sugestions in this comments and still nothing :(

Tried for ~15 minutes and couldn't get it to work, took off all my gear and got it on my first try.

Might be placebo, but it seemed to be what worked for me.

I just started spamming flight form and it kind of stops the explosion from throwing you if you time it right and I got the achievment

Commento di ChinookUT

Confirmed this achievement is still obtainable (with regular gear on), as I earned it entirely by accident working on obtaining the quest item inside of the minefield.

Commento di jankowalski

Just stand in the middle and go in any direction. You don't need a special mount. You can be without a mount. I did it within 2 minutes on my demon hunter without using wings.
