Can I still do this?

134 days - can I still do this?

I have exactly 400 achievements to pick up in 135 days. On the face of it, that doesn't seem like much of a big deal - it's roughly 3 per day but some of them involve huge amounts of work to get.

I still think it's possible, unless Cataclysm makes it impossible by removing some achievements before the year is out.

Despite appearances, I don't get to play much, except on weekends. Generally I'll drink coffee and play for half an hour most mornings while I try to wake up, but that only gives me enough time to cancel/relist my auctions and get a small set of daily quests completed (currently, I am working on Netherwing).

I doubt this will change, so I'm going to have to be agressive about how I plan out my time. Here is my current plan for getting my reputations completed, based on the information from wowjuju.com (http://www.wowjuju.com/repcalc#US_Spirestone_Deathspiral)


Netherwing - 2 days of dailies
Timebermaw Hold - 2 days (over the weekend) of mob grinding
The Mag'Har - 4 days of mob grinding and turnins
Skyguard and Ogri'la - 26 days (doing both together - 4 dailies each)
The Consortium - 3 days of dailies, mob grinding and turnins
Shattered Sun Offensive - 10 days (realistically) of dailies and occasional magisters terrace runs.
The Oracles - 13 days of dailies
Frenzyheart Tribe - 28 days of dailies
The Kalu'ak - 12 days of dailies

On top of that, I have lots of dungeon reps in BC to pick up and a couple for classic. I plan on fitting these in here and there.

I also need to pick up the PVP reputations. My plan for these is simply to do lots and lots of BGs, especially on extra-rep weekends.

So yes, it's doable, but it's going to be quite a bit of work. Should be fun.

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 ...
