This achievement has been confusing for the community ever since it was introduced, however a recent fix to a Dungeon World Quest (Court of Stars: Wraith in the Machine) made it obtainable again.

There are no rng elements to this achievement. It does NOT matter:

• 
  
• how fast you clear the dungeon
• 
  
• what Suramar World Quests are active
• 
  
• how you do the trash for the second boss
• 
  
• how many times you talk with the Chatty Rumormongers
• 
  
• whether or not you RP Walk to the door
• 
  
• whether or not you kill the Dreadlord next to the door
• 
  

Hey all!

So believing this achievement is RNG based and after farming Court of Stars (non-key / +s) for many times and not getting it, I decided to read up on strategies on how people got it and try different things.

This is what I did and got 2/2 of this achievement back to back:
- Kill all Duskwatch Sentry before they get a chance to ring the alarm.
- Destroy all 5 beacons before first boss.
- Guess spy on first try (From the replies, it looks like you do NOT need to guess the spy on first try, but I still suggest you do it quickly.)
*** While we were killing the spy demon quickly, I ran straight to the door where the final boss is before the demon is dead (around 30%) and stood there ready to open the door while 4 other party members finish it off and pick up the key right away.***

Now I know some people have gotten it without the first 3 steps like not destroying all beacons and guessing spy on first try. I'm not sure the last step which I emphasized with *** has been proven wrong. I did get 2/2 with it, so try this. This definitely needs more testing with or without the other steps and let me know if it works out.

Maybe I just got lucky both times and it is pure RNG after all, but it's still hard to believe this achievement is 100% RNG. I just wanted to share it since my guildie and I have been banging our heads on the desks trying to get this. I hope it will help others! Good luck.

Following these steps will increase the likelihood of you getting it the first time.
Our extensive testing suggests this has a 100% success rate if correctly executed while the required prerequisites are met.

This has been tested through 40 consecutive runs, and has since been retested spread out throughout a week's time.
All runs failed despite doing "perfect" runs every time, until this was tested while one of the below World Quests were up. We observed that when one of the World Quests were active the achievement would always pop, provided the runs were "perfectly" executed without mistakes.

Steps for our observed 100% success rate:

It is REQUIRED that one of these World Quests are up before attempting this.
As long as you know one of these World Quests are up on any character with them unlocked, it doesn't matter which character you do this achievement on.

1. 
   
2. Enter the instance on Mythic. Heroic reportedly also works, but Mythic is recommended as Blizzard may correct this in the future.
3. 
   
4. Kill all 5/5 Duskwatch Sentries. There is one patrolling the docks that you are likely to miss. Make sure they do NOT trigger the alarm when you engage them.
   And disable all 5/5 Arcane Beacons before engaging first boss. These are big glowing pillars and are hard to miss.
5. 
   
6. Kill the first boss, Patrol Captain Gerdo. Whether if he drinks or not is 100% irrelevant. I did not test whether if poisoning his drink affects this, but just don't do it and you should be good.
7. 
   
8. Move on to the next area and kill 3 Felbound Enforcers. Each time you kill 1 the boss will send out one of her personal bodyguards. Kill the bodyguard and move on to the next enforcer. Rinse and repeat until the boss is out of bodyguards, and then proceed with killing the boss, Talixae Flamewreath.
9. 
   
10. Talk with Ly'leth Lunastre before entering the party to get your disguise. If you don't you will be kicked out and that is the equivalent of a wrong guess on the spy.
11. 
    
12. Speak with all 5/5 Chatty Rumormongers and note down their clues (addons like BigWigs and DBM should simplify this for you). When you have all 5 clues take your time and find the spy based on the given criteria. It is crucial that you get the spy on your 1st attempt! Guessing wrong will decrease your chance of the achievement dialogue to proc, but it will still be possible.
13. 
    
14. Talk to the spy, and if correct, they will ask you to follow them to a quiet place. Once attackable go ahead and kill the demon and pick up the key it drops.
15. 
    
16. Walk over to the big door before last boss and the achievement dialogue should trigger. Once they've finished talking Dropping Some Eaves will unlock.
    If the dialogue has started it is 100% irrelevant whether if you open the big door or not. Opening it will not spoil the achievement.

The above tests and retests where done during BFA, patch 8.0.1.
