    Achievement Images for Guild Kills?

    I'm looking for some way, be it addon or otherwise, to get images of an achievement pop. I'm doing the kill shots for our guild and I'd like to have the achievement pop on the screenshot. I googled quite a few variations on keywords trying to find something, but I got nada. Anyone know of one?

    Open achievement window, scroll to relevant achievement, press print screen and paste into Paint/Photoshop: cut out the achievement, copy/paste onto killshot.

    Might look a bit messy around the edges but that should work, no?

    This would work, but it doesn't look like it does when it pops. I'd like the actual pop image. I would think that the basic images could be datamined and would be listed somewhere, but I haven't been able to track anything down.

    Ahhh, right. Take another screenshot when the achievement pops up? ;D

    Nah, sorry, I dunno I'm afraid. Misunderstood what you wanted in the first instance.

    Neither of those are what I'm looking for.

    I assume you're basically trying to have the achivement pop that you got when you killed the boss on the screenshot you took of everyone standing around the body 3 minutes later.

    We always used one of the random achievement generator sites. Here's the first one that came up when I Googled it. (Edit: It looks like this one has not been updated since Cata. You may want to find one with more current achievement icons since finding them yourself is a PITA).

    You will have to fill in the data to mimic the one your guild got, but the end result is the same. It's especially nice because the image is generated without background. So it looks a lot better than if you cut and pasted the original pop.

    There we go, that's what I was looking for. Any way to easily find icons? Like an ID or something? The search function didn't find the four kings icon.

    Not exactly what you're looking for and may be common knowledge but if you mouseover the achievement pop as it happens it will stay on the screen so you can frame your shot a little better if you're doing it as the boss is dying for the first time.

    The site I linked lets you search them by term. IE: "Lich King" pulls up the one for ICC. However, it looks like it may not have not been updated since Cata. You could try to find a more current one. Or there's probably icon databases out there somewhere, but I couldn't find one on wowhead in the first 30 seconds I was looking, so I gave up.

    Well, it looks like that site doesn't have the newer icons, but I screenshotted the completed achieve and pasted the icon onto the generated image and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for that link.

    Yeah, we'd taken the screenshot like 10 minutes after the kill, so the pop was long gone.

    If you look up the achievement on wowhead, you can click the icon on the achievement page to get the name of the icon. Unfortunately, it seems that the website did not update to include MoP icons - for your particular achievement, it's achievement_moguraid_04. I tried the earlier icons in cataclysm and before and it worked fine. Maybe something you can email the site developers.

    Yep, that's exactly what I'd done earlier. It's not a huge inconvenience, fortunately. Takes an extra 30 seconds to switch the icons.
