Tripping the Rifts is only obtainable during the Cataclysm launch event. To receive this achievement, you must kill each of the 4 elemental types and receive their buffs.
Elemental camps can be found in every quest zone in Azeroth, Outland and Northrend. A listing of the Outland camps can be seen at A Gathering in Outland.
Overview
The rifts are on a random spawn timer of approximately 50-56 minutes. It seems all rifts are on the same timer and occur about the same time.
- Closing any level rift will count towards Tripping the Rifts[1].
- You do not need to have all the buffs at the same time [2]
- Rifts range anywhere from 3 to 5 per zone. Some zones do have more locations.
- They de-spawn if not closed within 10 minutes.
- You can only receive the DAILY (Once per day) quest Hammering It Out from a rift that is within your level range.
- Each rift has 12 life points.
- Destroying an elemental drains the rift of one life point.
- Bring the rift to 0 life to kill it and spawn the elemental container.
- The buffs lasts for an hour.
- The buffs will disappear on death.
