More Winter Veil, lots of cooking, Some Silithus

I picked up Lance-a-lot by accident yesterday while working on completing all of the argent tournament dailies. I still hate dueling.

Simply Abominable was easy - the mob respawn rate is much higher than when this quest first came out and I got in in a minute.

I was extremely happy with Less Rabi coming out of a pug that someone put together for the express purpose of getting the achievement. All they needed was a dps shaman so I put my PVP set on and Wind Shear'ed our way to victory.

I did Bro's Before HoHoHo's this morning and stumbled upon a second rarespawn needed for Frostbitten. The mod again proves its worth! I have a screenshot below to show what happens when NPCScan detects a rare mob. Interestingly, I was flying over to get to warsong hold for the Winter Veil achievement, so now I have confirmation that it works even if you fly over the area with the mob using a flightpath.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I spent quite a bit of time levelling cooking up to 300 (and got the achievement for getting past this level). The cookies needed for winter veil are 325 skill, which is right around what I need to start the outland dailies as well so I plan on doing both later today. The new Bear Flank recipes in Feralas helped a great deal - no need to fish to get to 285 and froom 285 to 300, you just need Sandworm Meat from silithus.

I also busted out 10 Silithus quests (I'd never even gone to the zone before, since this is a reroll and I power leveled to 70 the week before WOTLK) and so I had to run most of the way there to get the flightpath. Fortunately, the quests give Cenarion rep which is a nice boost since I need to get exalted with this faction as well.

    For the fishing, grab a handful of good movies, and a 12 pack of your beverage of choice ...

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 ...
