This is mainly for those who are number's people.
There is no quick and easy glitch for this. This guide will mainly be for peace of mind.
First off, complete every other achievement and leave this for end game. it'll save some mindless grinding if you play through first to naturally knock off some numbers.
Now for the numbers. There are 3 areas. (meadows, snowy, desert) each going up in difficulty as the game progresses. First unlock all these areas and their unique plants. The next step is to get the highest quality hammer for this job to save on energy. (and food later on)
In each area every day you can acquire:
Meadows: 35 Rock spots
Snowy: 21 Rock spots
Desert: 20 Rock spots
A total of 76 rock spots per day
1000 is needed for achievement therefore 1000/76= 13.1~ 14days of straight rock farming every day. and remember this achievement should be sought after once the game is somewhat "complete" so the 14 is there purely for the number crunch. In reality you will need less due to you upgrading the cauldron, your tools, house, and any side quests for the story you wish to do.
You WILL need food for this (keep the food from the Sous Chef achievement grind if you haven't already done that) , I ended up needing energy when I was halfway through the Desert area and needed health due to me ignoring the enemies and gunning for the rocks.
Now if you can't stand doing one thing at a time (I know the feeling) While you are going for this achievement remember to get the community board quests because some of the quests may ask for a rock drop for hand in. It's good to note I also managed to do a community part time job each morning before going out for rocks.
There ya have it, running 4 achievements (Community Advisor, Stone Specialist, Rock Exterminator, and the corresponding part time job achievement) each day to break up the grind.
If there are any extra notes to be given or ways to ease the mind numbing grind please comment and share the wealth. The game is very cute but I do understand from a lot of my friends that it didn't keep interest due to the grinding needed for end game story and achievements.
