Dragonscale Expedition: The Highest Peaks

Place a flag on 10 of the tallest peaks in the Dragon Isles.

Place a flag on 10 of the tallest peaks in the Dragon Isles.

What the achievement asks

Place a flag on 10 of the tallest peaks in the Dragon Isles. Account-wide.

Ten of twenty, so half of them can be skipped.

Get the flag first

You cannot place anything until you have researched the Cartographer's Flag at the Expedition Supply Kit, at 47.33 83.38 in the Dragonscale Basecamp.

Without it there is no button at the summit, and people spend an afternoon flying to peaks that do nothing. It is part of the same talent tree as Well Supplied.

Finding them is not the problem, landing is

The peaks that count are marked on your minimap with a flag icon, so there is no hunting involved.

A dragonriding mount is the wrong tool. It carries speed you cannot shed, and these summits are narrow: people bounce off the same rock half a dozen times.

Switch to an ordinary flying mount. Hovering onto a point is exactly what those are good at, and what takes ten frustrating minutes on a drake takes ten seconds on anything that hovers.

Where it fits

One of eight under Wake Me Up, part of A World Awoken. It is the quickest of the eight once you have the flag.
