Molten Core, More PVP and Elders

I finally ran through Molten Core. It was a fun, enjoyable hour with 4 people, all guildmates. It's certainly doable with less but 2-manning it would be a chore and soloing it would be decidedly not fun. I also picked up the attunement so that I can avoid having to run through BRD to enter the zone.

I played about 50 arena games in my 2's team, hitting around 1000 points. We were doing badly on Saturday morning and lost almost every game. Sunday morning was much better - we finally learned to play together. I'm playing enhancement with a rogue partner and it's a very burst-oriented team. We started doing much better when we timed things so that the rogues initial assault went off at exactly the same time as my own. Priests, warlocks and (mostly) mages go down extremely quickly to this team and there is little we really fear, with the exception of ridiculous comps like prot paladin + resto druid.

I'm really starting to appreciate what other classes can do against us (I learned about the shadow priest temporary immunity today, for example :) and when it's best to switch versus stay on one target.

I hope that our 3's team managers to get some games in tomorrow. We'll see.

On the achievements front, I have most finished collecting Elders - I hope to be completely done by tomorrow morning. Then it's back to Loremaster as quickly as possible. Loremaster is one of those achievements that you really need a solid hour or teo to really go after it because there is so much initial travellign and setup involed.

 8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!  

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 ...

[3,445 of 5,450] You Know How to Reach Me

 7/3/24: [Neltharion's Legacy] and [Legend of the Multiverse]! I picked this up from the weekly time vault. [Scroll Hunter]! This one I am happy to be done with. I thought it was going to be a lot harder - wowhead comments imply as much. In the end it probably took two hours of farming Froststone Vault with crystals. [Treasures of Thaldraszus]! 7/8/24: [Treasures of the Azure Span]! [Wake Me Up]! [Treasure Hunter of the Dragon Isles]! [Treasures of the Waking Shores]! I have no more treasures to find! This one promised to be a slog but actually was easy enough, I just picked up Disturbed Dirt and Expedition Packs while doing other things like hunts. 7/9/24: [Forbidden Spoils]! 7/11/24: [Hunt Master]! I finally figured out how hunts work and realized that they don't show up until you are actually in the zone. As a result I can finally work on [Disgruntled Hunter] [Under the Weather]! I just logged in every two hours and got all three I was missing in a row!   7/13/24: I've b...
