I wrote a macro that can be used to complete this achievement. You need to activate the enemy name plates by pressing "v", then use the macro. The total of enemies will appear in chat.
/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G["NamePlate"..i] ~= nil and _G["NamePlate"..i]:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)Adahlis: How do I get it to say it in /instance chat
/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G["NamePlate"..i] ~= nil and _G["NamePlate"..i]:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end SendChatMessage("Count: " .. count,"INSTANCE_CHAT")I hope it helps :D

About Stormstout Brewery
When Chen Stormstout arrived in the Valley of the Four Winds, he journeyed to the renowned brewery of his namesake, hoping to connect with his relatives. What he found was his ancestral home in disarray. Under the watch of the incompetent Uncle Gao, loathsome virmen and unruly hozen have infiltrated the brewery, sparking a destructive revel that will soon devastate the region's supply of tasty brews.

This is actually a really easy achievement if you know what you're doing.
At first, my group thought you needed to pull all the trash outside into the bosses room, and tank it while killing the boss, and use his "waves" to generate more adds. That's not how you do it.
Instead, you can do this entire achievement by standing outside the bosses room. There's an unlimited number of spawning hoppers, and if you stand just inside his door, you'll get all of them. Once you've waited for a reasonable amount of time, grab a hammer and start swinging! If you don't get it, you can just stay in the same area and try again.
Once you engage the boss, the unlimited spawns stop, so just hang out outside his door until you've got it.
The safest way to do this achievement is to stand in the terrace just outside the gauntlet. We had our tank and healer stack up on one side getting healing aggro/non damaging aggro on all the small bunnies. We had another person taunting the Boppers and Hoppers and killing them, as they do quite high tank damage after a while. Once we had a very high amount (if you think you have enough, count 30 more, than go, to be safe.
