Almost finished with Argent Tournament

I have been slowly working my way through all of the "Champion of..." achievements, picking up one every 5 days. I got Undercity this morning and I'm due to get Silvermoon, my last and final one, by the 5th of January. I'll get my pony then as well, and I'll be sure to duel someone to finish up the entire event set of achievements.

I got lucky this morning and finally got the Delicious Chocolate Cake recipe. This is roughly a 1% drop from each of the two cooking dailies and is required for an achievement in its own right as well as for several meta achievements. I've heard stories of people not getting this recipe over the course of an entire year of dailies, so I was glad to get it after only a couple of weeks.

I started collecting other recipes to help with the Chef achievement and once again I'd like to stress how good the Ackis Recipe List mod is - it shows every recipe you are missing along with exactly where to find it. I'm almost at 100 now.

I hope to start running MC this weekend as it's possibly the longest rep grind in terms of real-world time. (It needs 26 weekly runs to get to exalted). I also plan on completing all of the Northrend quests tomorrow for Loremaster and getting started on the low-level oldworld quests.

Finally, I just want to mention that I picked up a Battered Hilt on Christmas Day (nice present!) from Forge of Souls. The questline is a lot of fun and it has a nice achievement at the end of it. Oh, yeah, and a 251 ilevel weapon...

Remember to Share (300 Toys)!

This one has taken a while. I finally picked up 300 toys (and thus the mount for the achievement) after starting to seriously work on my Archaeology achievements for the first time. I've been doing the fortnightly Legion archaeology quests for a while (and thus had 800 skill) but I completely ignored this profession in earlier expansions as it seemed seriously boring. With some knowledge and a good addon, it's much better however. Some tips if you're just starting to work on archaeology: 1. Download the "Archy" addon. This addon does several things: first, it shows you the location and completion status of all digsites in the current continent. Second, it automatically sets the closes one as a waypoint for TomTom. Third, it indicates when it's possible to solve an artifact with and without a keystone, so you don't have to constantly check your archaeology screen. On top of that, the distance indicator shows when you are in the correct range from your ...

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

It probably won't make it to live. But check out this feat of strength from the beta:

A Song of Wind and Water

I've been working on Oracles and Ogri'la rep every day and have about four days to go. One thing I've noticed about these older daily quests is that there is little provision for high-level players that one-shot everything. Two quests in particular stand out as being annoying until you learn the high-level trick. The first is Banish More Demons in Blade's Edge. This involves placing a portal on the ground then killing demons within a few feet of the portal. The portal has a one-minute cooldown and you need fifteen demons. It was a slow exercise in frustration because kiting further-away demons was difficult sue to all my abilities one-shotting them before they got near. In the end, I learned to use the Shaman's "Purge" ability to aggro mobs without killing them and pull them close to the portal. The second, and more annoying, quest that isn't scaled for high-level players is the Ogri-la's Song of Wind and Water . This involves weakening ...
