Quick Cap

Most of the tips posted on this page are outdated by now. Nifty Stopwatch / Skull of Impending Doom /etc.. causes you to drop the flag. However both speed boosts + Swiftness Potion is still a reliable way to earn this achievment.

There is no reason at all to tell people how to do it on a rogue, everyone who is not completely retarded and has played the game for more than 5 minutes knows how to do it.

Suggestions how to do it with classes without speed buffs are much better.

Anyway, apparently if you try really hard (exactly best route, taking both speed buffs, speed enchant and NO interruption by opposing faction) it can be done with any class.

If you're having trouble you can use

• Nifty Stopwatch from quest in Badlands
• 
  
• Swiftness Potion made by Alchemists and reward from couple of horde quests
• 
  
• Unholy Aura from a Death Knight or Aspect of the Pack by Hunters (but make sure you don't get hit while under the effect of the latter)

Obviously any of the engineering speed items will help as well, but if you have access to that you probably don't have that much trouble with this achievement :)

Just had a near perfect run, as a prot warrior. Sadly I already had it so I couldn't time it, but it felt way below the limit.
-Nobody on the other side even bothered to stop me
-Grabbed speed boost at horde tunnel
-As soon as I was out of the tunnel I popped a swiftness potion and heroic leaped as far as I could
-Charged a bot fighting with a hunter's pet
-Intervened the hunter
-About 5 seconds after that I saw a holydin going for my tunnel, so i Intercept-feared him
-I grabbed my tunnel's speed boost and capped(Swiftness potion was still on cooldown)

There are still some things that could've made it better, like Stampeding, Life Grip™, an enemy dk grabbing me but hey, how lucky can you get.
