Can Risen Giants be added to the Giant Slayer achievement? I have 1400 hours with 1 giant kill. Just a thoughtful suggestion…:)

Saddly not, only a handful of locations spawn giants.
The ones I know of are the one giant spawning every 20+ minutes in Nagelling Town in Diessa Plateau and another event in Brisbane Wildlands every 10- minutes that scales up, so you can have from one giant plus one for each other person being in the event location (I don’t know the maximum amount). Dullfy has a page about it somewhere, you can even join a guild I believe with people farming that achievement.
Yeah it’s a grind.

Edit : My bad, i noticed later it was a suggestion and not a question. That would be nice indeed.

It just seems that they are spread out enough to make this one be in line with the other slayer achievements.

Sadly, no. For some strange reason, they’re only classed under undead rather than both, which would have made life a lot easier. As opposed to the only 3 giants that spawn in the whole game

Can you also make them drop giant eyes?

Like erstag mentioned, there was a viable method of farming giant kills with an event in Toxal Bog of Brisbain Wildlands. The number of giants spawned by the event scaled with the number of participants (I am unaware of any cap on the maximum, though I’m sure there must be one). You could start the event, kill the giant spawns, and then guest to two other servers and repeat, allowing the event to fail and respawn in ~8 minutes.

From what I could tell, the number of giants spawned was 1 + (number of players / 2), or something close to that. With a group ten players you could spawn 6 giants per event, and net 18 per 8 minute cycle. I would assume Megaserver has made this significantly less effective, but it’s still your best option.
