What the achievement asks
Find ten Drust Stele across Drustvar and read each one. Five points, account-wide, both factions.
The stele are carved standing stones, and reading one is a single click. Nothing fights back and nothing is on a timer. The whole achievement is about finding them: two sit at the bottom of pools, four are tucked behind ruin walls, one is at the back of a cave, and one is halfway up a mountain that used to be the most hated climb in Kul Tiras.

| Drust Stele: The Flayed Man | Up the mountain south of Gol Koval | Watch |
The Flayed Man is no longer the problem it was
This one has an ugly reputation. It was the last of the ten to be found at all, it sits on a ledge partway up a mountain with no path to it, and for a long time reaching it meant a chain of jumps, a goblin glider, and a good chance of dying on landing.
Flying in Kul Tiras settles it. Fly to the coordinate, land on the ledge, click the stone. Everything written about gliders and grappling hooks applies only to characters without flight.
If you are grounded, the way up starts on the east side of the mountain, near 61.0 70.0, and climbs to the right. From near the top you drop down onto the ledge, and dropping backwards over the edge gives you far less forward momentum and a much better chance of landing on the stone rather than past it.
The two you have to swim for
Drust Stele: The Tree and Drust Stele: Sacrifice are both on the bottom of pools in the Crimson Forest, at the foot of waterfalls. Neither is visible from the surface, and the waypoint will happily put you on the water above the stone rather than on it. Dive.
The two pools are close together, so take them in one pass rather than crossing the forest twice.
Ulfar's Den takes some hunting
Drust Stele: Protectors of the Forest is the one people give up on. The den is a cave north-east of Arom's Stand, reached by following the mountain on the east side until a path cuts through to the far side.
Inside, go all the way to the back. The stele is not merely behind the ruined wall: it is pressed against the cave wall past the candles on the boulder and the tree. Standing at the back of the den with the resting bear on your right and your back to him puts you looking straight at the gap in the wall, with the stone behind it.
The stele does not appear while the quest The Old Bear is active. Finish it, or come back during one of the three follow-up quests, and the stone is there.
