Ride all of the rickety planks in Vol'dun

The five rickety planks of Vol'dun, four of them easy and one that needs a climb.

What the achievement asks

Ride all five rickety planks in Vol'dun. Ten points, account-wide, both factions, and it pays a decoration: the Zandalari Wall Shelf.

A rickety plank is a slide. You click it, you are strapped in, and you go down. There is nothing to fight and nothing to time.

The planks do not disappear once used, and each counts only once, so there is no way to waste an attempt or to lock yourself out.

The five

Four of them you simply ride up to and click.

Each plank on video

Five short clips. The second Atul'Aman one is the only one worth watching first.

The one that is not obvious

The second plank at Atul'Aman (45.78, 63.58) is the reason this achievement has a reputation, and it is a climbing problem rather than a finding problem.

Start from the first Atul'Aman plank at 47.90, 62.49 and follow the pyramid's ledge around until you reach a crumbly mound of rubble. Dismount and climb it slowly: this is one of the rare places where switching to walk actually helps, because running slides you back down. From the top of the rubble you can jump across to the opposite ledge, where the plank is now in plain sight.

Anything that gets you a little extra height works here too, if your class has it.

One shortcut

You do not have to reach the bottom. The credit lands when you get on, so the exit vehicle button gives you the tick immediately.

It is worth taking the ride anyway. They are the best thing in the zone.
