Easy "Going Down?" Achievement. (Priest requred)

[ventaak]

OK. I've been messing around and trying to twink trial accounts for the level 19 bracket to see if it's actually viable. Using my level 80 Priest, I have been grouping with my trial account characters for instance runs and item farming.

Anyway, about two weeks ago, I cast levitate on my trial account Priest and jumped off the top of the ramp in Stormwind to catch a boat in time. When the character landed, they got the "Going Down?" achievement. Fast forward to today and I cast levitate on my trial account Pally and ran her off the cliff overlooking Wetlands and they got the achievement.

I don't know if this is a bug or what. I've heard in the past Levitate doesn't work for getting achievement.

Even stranger is the fact that trial account characters can group with my level 80 when the trial account restrictions posted on WoW's website says trial accounts can't group with characters over level 20. So that might be a bug in itself as well.

It's most likely when you fall the required distance and you don't have any of your own buffs that cause a slow fall. A mage using slow fall on you would most likely work as well. Also, the grouping restriction was most likely removed when a trial changed to "Starter Edition".

booting someone off a 2 person mount will also get them the achievment

'Fall 65 yards without dying'
Hm... this seems common sense to me.

You can be in group with whomever you want, but as a trial you won't be able to invite them, they will need to invite you.

Hi, sorry to bring back an old thread, but I can confirm this.

2 Days ago I got levitate cast on me on my lvl 39 rogue in EotS, and when I jumped down from the starting area, I got the ach.. Thinking it was just a glitch, I didn't think more of it.

Untill yesterday, when I was on my 39 Priest, and cast Levitate on myself in EotS, and also got the achivement.

So Levitate is indeed bugged.

Don't know why I didnt think of posting it here, but +rep ventaak for doing so.

Confirmed working with Slow Fall as well. I was with a mage and he used Slow Fall to get down the Well of the Forgotten (not realizing it was exactly 65 feet and no Slow Fall was needed), and he got the achievement as soon as he softly landed on the pile of bones.

For what it is worth, the Well of the Forgotten has always been my favorite spot to get this achievement.
