GW2 Burn Down The Dragons Achievement

Burn down the Dragons achievement can be completed by setting on fire Dragon Effigies through low-level lands (1-25) in Tyria and Gendarran Fields (25-35 lvl), the same lands that you visit for completing So Lifelike Achievement.
 
Each of those maps have three effigies. This achievement is character bound and you can burn down 30 Effigies per character. The respawn time is approximately 30 minutes, and you can also log in to alt character to complete the achievement faster. You don’t need to wait for animation to complete, but in that case you will not get Dragon Vigor buff (boost health by 2% per application, max 5 applications). This buff disappears when you log off, or change a map.
 
Burn Down The Dragons Achievement has 4 tiers:

  • 1. tier – 1 Dragon Effigy burned down
  • 2. tier – 10 Dragon Effigies burned down
  • 3. tier – 25 Dragon Effigies burned down
  • 4. tier – 50 Dragon Effigies burned down

The discs have decent respawn timer, around 5-10 minutes. After the activation, creatures will pop up but you can easily defeat them. On the other hand, these creatures have a huge drop chance of Dragon Coffer, which grants you all shinnies like skins, pets, pieces of Zhaitaffy – candy, fireworks and so on, which are also needed for the other achievements. Spawn positions are easily spotted on the maps, even when you zoom out the map.
