WoW Just Nerfed the Cursebreaker Achievement After Players Did the Math

We can all breathe a sigh of relief—the Cursebreaker iconCursebreaker achievement has officially been nerfed!

With Patch 12.1’s release, the Cursebreaker iconCursebreaker achievement initially required you to defeat 300 Curse Surges on the Coiled Isle.

As MrGM calculated, that would have taken 13500 minutes/225 hours/9.375 days! Whilst we can agree that “the Cursebreaker” is a cool title, is it really that cool?

Thankfully, Blizzard have listened, and the requirements for the achievement have been cut in half—you’ll now only have to defeat 150 Curse Surges!

It’s still a grind, but 112.5 hours is better than 225!
