This is a Conquest Slayer achievement.

For your own safety I would avoid talking about this accomplishment around any devout worshipers of Prexus. Your disdain for creatures of the sea is unfathomable!

Not done any of this expansion from searching around do you mean this event. TDS Progression #18: What Hate Begets

This part caught my eye....

Defeat the sharks to survive the southeastern pool 0/15 (Combine Dredge)

The sharks here each hit for a max ~5,000; don't have too many hitpoints (relatively); and are mezzable and rootable/snareable. They have a fast respawn timer. Kill 15 of them, and then get out of the water.


I guess just stay in water and keep killing. Will try it soon.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned this zone. Kedge everywhere.

If you're doing this achievement on a TLP and you don't want to wait years to be high enough level or for the other suggested zones to activate, an easy way to get 5000 fish is to sit in the lake on the north end of Rivervale. It is chock full of level 1 trout and the occasional level 4 piranha (and the quest fish Chomper) that respawn nearly instantly and swim in a figure-8 pattern between the two large pools and under the bridge. You might accidentally kill the young halfling that sits close to the edge of the lake a few times, but the faction hit is very miniscule and more than worth it for the ridiculously easy volume of kills you can rack up at a low level without running all the way out to Kedge Keep or Sirens' Grotto.

Goru`kar Mesa is an ok spot to do this in. There are lots of potamides that spawn there.
Siren Grotto is better than Kedge Keep

The best place is Sirens Grotto. It is much better than kedge keep.

You can park in the sirens castle or better just run around and agro all the tunnels of neriads, swordfish, sirens, and seahorses.
Undertow Room / Kedge Keep

Probably not the best choice, but there are three sailfins in the Undertow Room @ Kedge Keep with an instant re-spawn. You can get a lot in no time.

Love instant respawn mobs, plus the bonus of going to an old school zone. Unfortunately, undertow room in KK did not have the 3 insta spawn sailfins, rather 3 seahorses (also non-insta respawn). I will go to the shark spot for quest 'What Hate Begets' (did progression) and recall having 4 or six sharks on me at basically all times for this achievement.

Instant Spawn. I don't know how you can go wrong here if you are high enough level to one swat them.

in combine dredge (yeah you need to do progression to be flagged). There is a task called What Hate Begets. I am not sure you actually need to have the task active to respawn sharks, but there is a pool in the south eastern area with like 20 sharks that spawn every 60 seconds.

In Buried Sea, head NW to Maiden's Grave.
Loads of Sirens there, KOS agro to all levels.
A good spot to sit while you go for a fine koffee is 2568,4304. There's 5 in agro range. 5 minute spawns.

P -4304, -2568, 310, 0, 0, 0, 2, SirenCamp

With 5K kills this is best done with a tank merc (or pet if a pet class).

I tried Water, Kedge and Grotto -- but ended up in the Buried Sea on the Siren island. Worked great.

My main is a druid, I box a bard.
I bound near Thalassius, the Coral Keep, in Katta.
Zone in, mostly clear, then hit CS and Sirens, then PoK-PoT-Plane of Water, clear.
Rinse repeat. I could have stayed in one of the zones and caught respawns but for sake of sanity I'd move around.
