Peace Mayoineko on Gysahl has hit 1,067/1,075 known/catalogued lodestone history achievements. Only 8 accomps remain (the 5K and 10K Locals and Regional achievements - 4 on history, 4 on UI system). First person to get so high?

I think Duuuuude may have similar achivements.

There are also hidden one-time happy achievements that if you miss the GM event or so, it's gone. I don't know how many of those are factored in.

I'm looking around, I think you might be right.

Good lord, how is it possible to hit that many crafting and gathering acheivements in a few days, must have other people helping to play or never sleeps.

[Meow_Zedong]

it's called botting.

If you Hasty Hand every synth including 41+ bracket, and rotate between the 3 gather jobs fatigues, its possible to do all achievements in about 10 weeks playing about 10 hours a day since those are the only real "new" ones. The rest were possible before 1.20.

Its possible JP players could even do it quicker with their latency (watch one craft or gather next to you, they are faster).

Patch been out for 10 weeks or so, but you gotta remember that's not including prep-times, selling items, etc. Botting would get done quicker but require more total hours. It falls in line with when you'd start seeing someone totally maxed out. Remember someone had all 50s in only like 5 months after the game was released during the terrible XP times, clunkier crafting, slower xp on gathering.

I wouldn't underestimate some people.

Math:
Hasty Hand @ 120 synths per hour.
Achievements 5400 * 7 crafts = 37,000 total synths required.
37,000/120 = 308 hours for crafting achievements.

Gathering @ 300 hits per hour (this is entirely possible in most zones; Horizon its not for example)
24000 * 2 = 48000
48,000/300 = 160 hours for Mining+Botany

I have no clue how many gathers Fishing can do if attempting to mass gather but I know its a bit slower; and probably the only one I'll never even attempt unless its changed. But we can guesstimate 120? hours for Fishing.

Also the offhand gathers I don't have an exact time estimate, but we can tack on 100? more hours.

308+160+120+100 = ~700 hours. 70 days, or 10 weeks at 10 hours a day.

Some people can put in the time to do this, some (rather most) can't but its hard to say its impossible.

Pretty much this. Great post.

Good lord, how is it possible to hit that many crafting and gathering acheivements in a few days, must have other people helping to play or never sleeps.

in my case, its from doing them from the bottom up, i did ALL the easy tier 1 achievemnts, then work my way up

whatever the easiest mats to gather are, i do that one next and so on, until i get to the harder ones which i have to suffer through(such as weaving which materials suck for so ill be doing leves over the next 3 months to complete)

as far as sleep...i get my 5 hours a night, and i work, i play maybe 10-16 hours a day
