On Battlegrounds and PVP achievements

I'm thinking about how I should start working on all the BG achievements and trying to decide what I should be focusing on in arena (2's, 3's, 5's) for the coming season.

I think that for a shaman with little arena experience, 3's is going to be the easiest of the three to get 2200 in. 2's is currently not a shamans game and 5's, while fun with elemental, is too difficult without a solid amount of experience. There are just too many things going on.

The best 3's spec right now is enhance. The best 2's spec could potentially be enhance also, but looks like it's resto, at least from the top 100 list on www.arenajunkies.com and the best 5's spec is elemental.

Elemental and Resto can share gear. Enhance gear is fairly useless for the other two specs.

As a result, I think the plan should be to get to 2200 in 3's and use the points to buy good ele/resto gear then work on getting the 5's achievements next, saving 2 for the last one. Why in this order? Because a high 2's rating doesn't help with the purchase of weapons whereas 5's does, so I can use the points from 3's to get good 5's gear, then the points from 5's to get good 2's gear. Additionally, I can use my high 3's rating to attract a good 5's team who really know what they are doing.

To get 2200 in 3's as enhance, I'll need a good set of enhance gear and two partners (probably a holy(?) paladin and a hunter) that really know how to play.

To get the gear, I'll need to work hard on getting a lot of honor in the BG's while I work on the BG achievements.

I did a snail daily (one more to go!) and then defeated Adinakon in a pet battle to pick up [Battle on the Dragon Isles II]! 9/2/23: I worked on the 1500 Loamen Niffen rep for the weekly.

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]! Next up, Little Scales Daycare fo

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
