Loremaster, oh how did I underestimate thee!

Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms is taking a long time due to the large amount of travel involved, however I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have 120 quests to go as of 1st March 2010 and accoprding to Everyquest, I have more than 30 quests still to do in the Hinterlands, WPL and EPL and more than 15 left in STV. Add in some dungeon quests and I should be able to finally finish up everything without too much travel within a few days. Happily, these quests are all nicely clumped together for the most part.

So, my new plan:

Hinterlands tonight.
WPL by Wednesday.
EPL by Friday.
Loremaster of EK by Saturday night. Including all exploration and dungeons.

Then Kalimdor, then all the outlands ones.

To keep myself on track, I added a counter to the top left of the screen. You should see it there now.

This is a little over 40 weeks.

Conservatively, I have about 10 hours a week to spend on this challenge, with another 8-10 available for raiding. This means I only have 400 hours to complete everything. My biggest worry is that this simply won't leave enough time for WSG and AB rep grinding. I'll probably have to semi-afk play these battlegrounds when taking the train to work and back. You know, just basecamp/ guard the farm or run with the zerg since my connection will suck otherwise.

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 ...
