There are 4 achs for Days of the Dead which ends tomorrow, monday!

<http://www.wowhead.com/event=409/day-of-the-dead#achievements>

Dead Man's Party is easy.  Just dance with Catrion..  I mean Catrina. 
Blam.  Achievement and another 10 points!
The next 3 are a little harder to complete.  there are several ways to 
do this.  But I did it the Halaa way as I also want the mounts from there.
So I got the costume from my local graveyard pusher, went to the Premade 
Groups, typed "Halaa" in Custom (raid) and found 2 
events/groups/whatever in the middle of the night EU.  I joined one, 
went to Halaa (not only Nagrand, but the Halaa island, mkay!) and we 
kept killing each other.

How it worked;

The group/raid has to be close to the graveyard in Halaa as quick 
ressing is important here.
So we (the whole group/raid minus 1) stacked against a wall and let the 
last player keeping killing us.  We all got a Halaa Battle Coin for 
every kill someone did.  But also.  The player who killed the rest of 
the group slowly got his achs!
Then we swapped.  Another player started killing the group, we got more 
coins and the other player who kept killing us also got his 3 achs. 
then it was my time to kill the group and after me it was the hunter's 
time to kill us.  Et cetera. :)

We had to degroup as our presence attracted some hordes, changed realm 
and regrouped a few times.  We also quick ressed and got the res disease 
every time we died which is a important part of this method (unless you 
have ressers in the group).  It was worth the gold for repairs as those 
achs and especially the Halaa mounts are really hard to get nowadays.

So this night we were 4 peeps from each realm and we were working 
together to get all the achs and coins and we all ended up cheering each 
other.  Those moments are so rare in this game now. :)
