Someone mentioned in chat that they camped one of them from when it was picked up (by someone else) till it spawned for them, and it was 3 hours. That's 3 hours of sitting around doing nothing, not getting any rewards, not having any fun. Not doing anything meaningfull. Doesn't sound like an achievement to me :/

this person obvsly wasnt aware of the fact that there are more than one fixed spawn point for every culinary specialty. while they were sitting there for 3 hours straight, it might have spawned atleast 3-4 times on other places and was picked up by other players till it spawned on the specific spot again.

i found all 3 remaining non event things within one hour with other people around looking for them as well, just by moving around and observing ALL possible spawn points.

I agree that camping one spot is a waste of time - I have no patience for that, however the re-spawn times are quite long which is why I tried an earlier time. Off peak is your friend for this achievement. I do wish I frapsed the animations you get when you pick up the items - the Fragile Glowshroom "high" effect is quite funny.
