On PVP and server restarts



I finally got a Beast Mastery hunter for 3v3 as Beastcleave (Enhance Shaman, Holy Paladin, BM Hunter).

It's working out very well, despite a couple of losses at the beginning since we were all new to each other. We got 1150 in our first session together and it really feels like we can hit 2k or higher with this comp.

I got my "300 wins" achievement (and tabard for "25 Tabards") on our last game of the night.

This morning I woke up to find that my plans to PVP were going to be thwarted by rolling server restarts. I had to cancel my first (random) queue and, once the server was up again, my second queue was a hillarious mix of disconnects. Nothing like being 400 ahead in AB and then seeing 10 (out of 15) people all get disconnected at once... (we won anyway).

One great thing I discovered about server restarts is that it resets ALL of the books for "Higher Learning" in Dalaran. I only found one that I didn't need, but it's something to remember the next time the resets come around.

 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...
