    This requires the Sharpshooter class.
    This skill is Tier 1 in adventure tree skill name Scout's Bones (Active Skill)

    I suggest going to act 2 Corpsefire Crypt in Polluted Plateau and find the Boss: Sylvia Rouser, Necromantic Summoner she will keep summoning more skelly's and if she gets low on HP run away a bit and she will reset.

    Attack using only that skill I think it's 1,000 kills but felt like more.

    temprj1234This worked, but I couldn’t get Sylvia to reset, even if I zoned out of the crypt. Perhaps a certain amount of time has to pass? Or the game has been patched to prevent this sort of thing? I ended up killing her every once in a while, quitting out to the main menu to reset the zone and just making another run.

    Ssj SeanLike the other kill achievements, this one is 1900 skelemans. I suggest traveling to The Witching Grounds, Lake Gobdunk, Goblin forest. The boss there Lily summons skeletons by the bucket, and the level leading up to her is 99% skeletons with a couple of netherbois. After you tire of skeleton grinding or kill Lily, exit to the main menu and do it again. Alternatively, you can just find a lily instance in the endgame Genie dungeon and farm skeletons there.

    One HUGE thing I want to point out is that if you spam your attack button on Scout Bone, most of the time you will fire 2 volleys of 3 ratballs (at level 10), and they inflict twice the damage and debuffs. Remember this skill takes its damage from your weapon so make sure you have the highest ATK possible, and pieces that give +Scout Bone damage don't hurt. If you are lucky enough to find the legendary pistol Infections Shooter, you also get missles attached to the ratballs that do 50% weapon damage!

    The S bot 9000Took me somewhere around 90-120 minutes to grind this out at the Lily location in The Witching Grounds. Level 14 Scout Bones at level 45 (de-leveled by the game to level 14). Scout's bones seriously suck ass, awful programming means half the time they won't land a hit even though they've obviously passed through enemy sprites, at least in my experience using it.roll
