Hehe easy to do :-)

Hehe, unfortunately, it has to be lvl 85 :-) Otherwise I'd have done
it myself already, my bf's account has space on it, but levelling to
85 just for one achievement is maybe a bit much ;-)

Well given the 20g and stack of Frostweave plus often a decent blue,
it's worth killing them all anyway :-) I didn't actually realise they
could block the spawn of others though; I've heard that theory but
it's a bit debated as to whether or not it happens. I'll likely just
check for the ones I miss only, frankly, but any others I see are
welcome :-)
