Reward of the achievement Glory of the Draenor Raider: seventeen boss achievements in the first two raids of Warlords of Draenor, one for each boss, on Normal difficulty or higher. Seven are in Highmaul in Nagrand and ten in Blackrock Foundry in Gorgrond. One of the ten, Would You Give Me a Hand? on Kromog, takes ten players at the same moment; Fain Would Lie Down takes three kills of Beastlord Darmac, and There's Always a Bigger Train two toys. Progress counts for the whole account.

Guides Wowhead: Glory of the Draenor Raider, achievement page (the top comments name the achievement for each boss and a way to do each) · Wowhead: Would You Give Me a Hand?, achievement page (comments on placing the ten players)

• Ten players in the raid for Would You Give Me a Hand? (Kromog, Blackrock Foundry): defeat 10 Grasping Earth hands within 5 seconds, then Kromog. A hand rises only where a player stands on a rune and is seized, one hand to a player, so ten players have to be seized in the same round and all ten hands killed together before the boss dies · about 1 h
• The toys Toy Train Set and Wind-Up Train Wrecker for There's Always a Bigger Train (Operator Thogar): 250 gold each from Jepetto Joybuzz, the toymaker in Dalaran · about 0.2 h
• The seven Highmaul achievements, one visit: Flame On! (Kargath Bladefist), Hurry Up, Maggot! (The Butcher), A Fungus Among Us (Brackenspore), More Like Wrecked-us (Tectus), Brothers in Arms (Twin Ogron), Pair Annihilation (Ko'ragh) and Lineage of Power (Imperator Mar'gok) · about 1 h
• The ten Blackrock Foundry achievements: The Iron Price (Gruul), He Shoots, He Ores (Oregorger), Ya, We've Got Time... (The Blast Furnace), Stamp Stamp Revolution (Hans'gar and Franzok), The Steel Has Been Brought (Flamebender Ka'graz), Would You Give Me a Hand? (Kromog), Fain Would Lie Down (Beastlord Darmac), There's Always a Bigger Train (Operator Thogar), Be Quick or Be Dead (The Iron Maidens) and Ashes, Ashes... (Blackhand). Fain Would Lie Down takes three kills of Darmac, each begun beside a different beast (Cruelfang, Dreadwing, Ironcrusher) so that he mounts that one first; one kill each on Normal, Heroic and Mythic fits them into one day · about 2 h

In all: about 4.2 h of play, 500 gold, starting from nothing.

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

The entrances are from the game's own table. The time on the spot is an estimate for one visit to Blackrock Foundry.

Wowhead's tooltip lists seventeen criteria; the wiki's page for the Glory showed sixteen when read, without Hurry Up, Maggot!. What each asks, from Wowhead's tooltips where one was read and otherwise from the Glory's best-rated comments (2014, 2015), all on Normal or higher. Highmaul:

• Flame On!: Kargath dies with no Fire Pillar destroyed
• Hurry Up, Maggot!: The Butcher kills six Maggots before he dies
• A Fungus Among Us: 15 stacks of Burning Infusion (given to the whole raid when one player does it, by a 2016 reply)
• More Like Wrecked-us: all eight Motes of Tectus destroyed within 10 seconds of each other
• Brothers in Arms: the Twin Ogron's Disposition never above 30%
• Pair Annihilation: fewer than 15 Overflowing Energy orbs reach the ground or an unshielded player
• Lineage of Power: a Gorian Warmage is empowered by both of Mar'gok's mists (Fortified, then Replicating) and killed; a 2026 comment (patch 12.0, a level 80 death knight on Mythic) gives a way

Blackrock Foundry:

• The Iron Price: collect 3 Pristine True Iron Ores, which sit above Gruul and are reached by being thrown up by his Overhead Smash
• He Shoots, He Ores: the Volatile Ore put into the Ore Grinder (the 2014 comment says its carrier cannot walk and throws it from player to player, which would also take several players; not checked against the game today)
• Ya, We've Got Time...: the Blast Furnace's elementals killed together (comment only)
• Stamp Stamp Revolution: nobody hit by the stamping presses
• The Steel Has Been Brought: Aknor Steelbringer beside Ka'graz left alive
• There's Always a Bigger Train: 'engineer the ironic demise of an Exulting Wind-Up Train Wrecker'; put the Toy Train Set on a track, let the Wind-Up Train Wrecker destroy it, and have a train run the wrecker over (wiki)
• Be Quick or Be Dead: the three Iron Maidens die close together (comment only)
• Ashes, Ashes...: catch 20 Falling Ashes in Blackhand's last phase

On the ten players:

• 'the hands need to grab you in order for them to become hostile, so you need 10 people grabbed at once' (2018, rated 91)
• 'you need at least 10 people' (2024)
• another 2024 comment, from a raid that did it, says to take all gear off, mark the rune spots beforehand, wait until everyone is seized, then kill the hands within the five seconds

The comments disagree on who gets credit: one 2017 comment says each player must have hit Kromog and another of 2017 that a player who dies before the boss gets nothing, where the 2024 one says a single player hitting him is enough for all. One player in 2025 reports doing it with ten characters of one account left logged out inside the room, and two others replied that it did not work for them. A 2025 comment asks for the achievement to be taken out of the meta; nothing read says it has been.

Lockouts: on Normal and Heroic a kill only locks loot, so the three Darmac kills fit into one day on three difficulties (comments of 2019, 2025 and 2026). Darmac mounts the beast he is nearest when he has taken some damage.

Toys: the wiki names Jepetto Joybuzz and his Clockwork Assistant in Dalaran for both, and Craggle Wobbletop in Stormwind for the train set; coordinates were not looked up.

How the mount is handed over was not found; it has an item (116383). wow.gg has a guide for this mount (updated 2026), but its table pairs achievements with the wrong bosses and it is not linked.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
