Use A Box of Rocks 50 times, profit. A Box of Rocks can often be found in the Zskara Vaults and less often on the Waking Shores.

Comment by Buuloki

A Box of Rocks can be purchased off the Auction House, or otherwise found on the Forbidden Shore and the Waking Shores.

You will need 50, and can use one every 15 minutes. After using 50 items, you will get the achievement.

I put them on my bars and just clicked one whenever I remembered. You can also reset the CD by mailing them to alts (the achi is acc wide), or queuing up for bgs/skirms and leaving resets the CD.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Buuloki##DELIM##

Progress is account-wide, so you can send the boxes to your alts (min lvl 10) to skip the cooldowns.

Comment by Kronatan

kept this dumb boxes from vaults. I was sure Blizzard will do something eventually with it.

When was this achievement added? I have completed the Zskara Vaults on all my 13 characters, when it came out in 10.0.7 and never saw this achievement. Sold or used all my boxes before this achivement was added so my progression is at 0. Feel a bit weird that they added an achivement to previous patch content, when people are done with these content..

For those wanting to try and farm these, here is a map of potential spawn points. Box of Rocks

These are single boxes, not the 4 stack or however many you find in Vault.

Since I am bitter that I vendored my original stockpile, and refuse to spend gold...

Here is my insight into farming A Box of Rocks via the Zskera vault.
Remember Zskera Vault Keys are now purchasable with Dragon Isles Supplies.
____________________________________________________

When you walk down into the main room of the vault, the first door on the left has historically been a Box of Rocks container room . But the doors you actually want to open have a brown dirt cloud effect at their base. Save your key if you don't see said door on the first floor -or elsewhere if you've managed to climb.
There's usually a golem to kill first but the Box of Rocks container is sadly not a guarantee -in my successful rooms I have consistently looted (4-5) A Box of Rocks. *** To clarify, you have to find the Box of Rocks container somewhere in the room, it can be easy to miss.

One character, one key, once per week. Have more max level toons? Send keys to each of them and repeat. Obviously this is ideal for people who can utilize multiple characters.
Make sure to consume one before swapping so that it's on cooldown.

I sent 13 characters into the vault this week:

only (6) characters looted A Box of Rocks, of those one had (5) where the rest received (4) each.
all dirty doors existed on the first floor, half were first room on the left
(1) character had a dirty door with no Box of Rocks container
the vault layer(?) is irrelevant since my successful runs were a mix of old and new characters to the vault

EDIT/UPDATE | results of my second week:

only (5) characters looted A Box of Rocks, of those three had (5) where two received (4) each.
all dirty doors STILL exist on the first floor, all but one were first room on the left
(1) character had a dirty door with no Box of Rocks container

TLDR the math is mathing and I supplemented with the one-off finds in the Waking Shores

____________________________________________________

Since a lot of my characters were fresh to the Forbidden Reach, here's a rough guide getting there:

Go to the dragon roof party in Valdrakken and talk to Kurazidaia /way #2112 61.0 26.6 Kurazidaia
SKIP everything -talk to whatever NPC and skip until you no longer can, and you will eventually end up back at the Seat of the Aspects.
Now actually go to Morqut Village in the Forbidden reach and talk to Scalecommander Viridia /way #2151 34.6 57.6 Scalecommander Viridia
to pick up the quest Helping Hand and Claw.
Once complete, go right back to Scalecommander Viridia who will now offer Exploring Our Past, this will actually send you to the Zskera Vault making it accessible.
After turning in Exploring Our Past to Pathfinder Jeb, grab his next quest to proceed inside.
NOTE: The Keys You Need also becomes available from Pathfinder Tacha, which is worth for the few extra freebies.

An achievement added in 10.1.5 related to an outdated irrelevant content from 10.0.7 that requires you to spam Zskera Vaults or buy the boxes on AH. Very stupid move from Blizzard.

Blizzard: Bags is not full, you keep too much trash on it, throw something out.

Also Blizzard; Remember that thing you deleted 2 years ago and used a lot but since it has no propourse you just deleted? If you have 50 of them now i give you an achievement.

Comment by frakbt

After a couple of weeks of opening only doors on Tier 1 & 3 (as indicated by the All The Things add-on) in Zskera Vaults, I decided on a full clear, and found a stack of 4 on Tier 4 (behind a door that did not have the brown dirt cloud animation at its base). I believe it to be random placement, and not targetable by any quantifiable search parameters.

Comment by octnoir

Wanted to add to the complaints.

It's bad enough that they added this achievement well after 10.0.7, when many of us had 40+ boxes that we deleted to save bag space because we thought it was a novelty junk item.

It's even worse when you need FIFTY of these boxes.

On TOP of a 15 minute CD per use.

It should have been 25 at the most. 50 is nuts.

They've had achievements similar to this and done a far better job of making it reasonable. This is just poorly designed.

Comment by octnoir

For tips:

1. If you got spare Zskera Vault Key left, then you can use them up from week to week to check for Boxes

2. Else I think the better play is to farm them on the Waking Shore. You get one per (vs the 5 stack you get from Zskera Vaults), but if you got a toon on a very dead shard or RP realm, this might take far less time than cheesing with Zskera vaults and alts.

This is an account-wide achievement - alts can contribute to this. I think some shard hopping shenanigans with dead realms, RP realms or world bosses is probably going to be faster overall.

Also since the Boxes are BoE, you can send them to your alts to bypass the 15 minute CD.
