Musings on Loremaster

Looking at the sheer scale of the task in front of me has made me realise that I need to accelerate my progress if I'm going to get done in time.

The PVP achievements look like they will be some of the hardest, especially the arena ones. The new season is starting in a couple of weeks and I'd like to get started right away.

Another concern is being able to find a group for all of the older achievements and instances - who really wants to do undying when new content is available and we all have enough triumph badges? Because of this, I'm becoming aware that I'll need to get runs going of Naxx and ulduar as quickly as possible to cash in on people that still need a few more badges.

As a result, I'm looking to finish Loremaster before the new arena season comes out, or by around the 20th of January, whichever is earlier so I can devote more time to PVP. I should be finished with Northrend in the next couple of days.

I think that I'll go right back to the old content and alternate between there and Outland to get all the requisite quests done in order to avoid boredom. One strategy that was strongly suggested to me when working on the old-world quests is to start at each of the starting areas and take the chains all the way thorugh to the final zones. The reason for this is clear: unlike Outland and Northrend, the quests are not nicely split up by zone in the old world and many of the quests span many zones and instances.

I have been focusing on Argent Tournament dailies (and cooking and fishing) over busing out every possible quest. The reason for this is that many of the old-world quests give recipies or take me to locations that I need to fish in. Also, having a portable mailbox/bank for my squire will be extremely useful when stuck in the middle of nowhere, questing.

 7/21/23: I started the day with some quests from the dragon hatchery and for Chromie. The Chromie one was fun - she turned me into a quest giver and had me hand out quests. After that, I did the Tempo quests near Chromie and picked up a cosmetic shades in the process. Next, I worked on the Daycare questline. I now have to wait until tomorrow before continuing. lAfter that, I worked on Loamen Niffen rep to get the 1500 for the weekly. The first quest I did however was for a 405 bracer that I upgraded to 411. (afternoon) I just learned that I can buy Vault keys for 50 Dragonscale Supplies each! [Every Door, Everywhere, All at Once] is mine! I also picked up An Odd Round Object, which is an item I needed to continue the "story" questline from Voraxian (this is an achievement I was working on a few days ago). 7/22/23: I noticed that Old Hatreds' mob was no longer evade bugged and so finally finished that questline, getting [A New Beginning]!

 8/7/23: I picked up the Duskytooth Snooter by repeatedly resetting the Mechagon instance 18 times until it spawned! Next I did some more Little Scales Daycare quests and picked up two more pets from it. 1464 total now. Now to use my Ultrasafe Transporter and head back to Mechagon to get the last two pets I need. The first of which, Specimen 97, looks like it should be easy enough to catch as it's supposed to be unique but always up. The last one I needed was Yellow Junkhopper. I took the advice on wowhead and made a macro to target it, then repeatedly exited and re-entered the Mechagon instance in order to eventually have one pop up. I think I did this thirteen times or so before it worked (lockout is at 10, so it took an extra hour) and now I finally have [Mecha-Safari]!  I went after the Shadowlands pets next. I was missing four, including Clutch which is semi-rare so I went after that one first. The rest were easy and so now I have [Shadowlands Safari]]! 8/8/23: I spent a bit o
