Chef!

I collected every recipe for Chef De Cuisine today (160 in total!) as well as cooking almost all of them for my Chef title. I dinged 500 daily quests complete too, and some others, but I'll admit - I'm proud of Chef De Cuisine - it's a hard one to get. Total achievements: 407/1054 (4240) Days to go: 326

A mod for Higher Learning

I found a nice mod for the Higher Learning achievement that requires you to read lots of books in Dalaran that only spawn every few hours: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/dalaran-university/files/2-dalaran-university-1-1/ This mod not only track spawn times, but it shares the information with everyone else on the server.

Plan for the next few weeks.

I'd like to have Northrend Loremaster finished by noon on Saturday as well as hitting revered with the Oracles via daily quests. I then think that I can get all of the old-world quests (about 500 left) done in a week of play, finishing on Sunday the 31st of January. This includes almost all of the classic dungeons for the Classic Dungeonmaster achievement. (I need to do almost all of the old-world ones again). I expect to finish ALL of the cooking achievements this weekend as well, with the exception of the Chef's Hat. That will leave all the Burning Crusade zones as the only ones I need to finish. I'd like to have them done by the 7th of Febuary, along with Keymaster and The Explorer. I should also have made good progress on 40 Exalted Reputations and the pet and mount achievements from all the rep gains I've been working on. I am also going to start seriously looking for groups for the old raid instances, especially MC and AQ40. After this, (around the 7th of Febuary)

Finally got the damn pony!

I went through all of the starting area quests for every faction and got exalted with each of them. I'm now the proud owner of a pony, and a huge number of quests completed towards Loremaster.

Plan for the week

I'm still working on Loremaster as my primary task, as well as doing "The Oracles" dailies. I have finished "Icecrown: The Final Goal" which just leaves one more northrend zone to complete. I'm currently working my way through the Ghostlands quests in eastern kingdom in order to get exalted with the blood elves and then I'll head to Undercity and Thunderbluff to finish off those reputations. This seems like a strange way to approach Loremaster, but I feel that it's the most efficient route. I am putting a lot of effort into obtaining the portable bank/mailbox from the Argent Tournament before I start getting into heavy questing in the old world. Thsi will hopefully make questing easier, especially when it comes to things like storing lots of quest items or using an alt to buy things needed for quests from the AH. After I get the Argent Pony, I'm going to work on Argent Crusade rep and then Timbermaw rep and THEN work fully on Loremaster. Again, t

Still no Pony

I have 150 Champion's seals. I have finished all the daily quest chain to represent all 5 cities and I've got exalted with the Argent Tournament yet so far, no pony. It seems that I need to work on getting every one of my 5 home city reputations up to exalted. Since I am only halfway through revered on 3/5 of them (the other two are exalted) I plan on working on this before finishing Icecrown. (The icecrown quests that I have left are all group quests that are difficult to solo.) In other news, I broke 4000 points. That over a thousand in less than a month.

Excellent interview with Little Grey, the first person in the world to complete all achievements (before 3.3): http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/misc/wowcarnival/littlegrey_interview.html "A Mask for All Occasions is extremely hard to complete in one Hallow’s End period, and I think it generally requires two years to complete.... " I looked it up: http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=284 Odds are, I need to trick or treat 200 times in 2 weeks (i.e. pretty much once per waking hour) to get all the masks. Yuck! This is going to be a horrible achievement to obtain in 1 year. I suspect Gyilks will be getting his 20,000g in the mail sometime soon after October 31st. :)

Mountain O' Mounts

Excellent guide to the Mountain O' Mounts achievement is here: http://wowvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Guides.Detail&id=295 I have included the relevant portion below as it gives a guide as to what I'll be working on over the coming months. In particular, many of the mounts have other achievements associated with them (such as the Cenarion war Hippogryff). Horde Requirements Exalted reputation must be obtained with the following factions: * Orgrimmar * Thunder Bluff * Undercity * Silvermoon City * Darkspear Trolls * Ravasaur Trainers * Thrallamar (For Faction Discount, Not required for purchase) * The Mag'har * Netherwing * Cenarion Expedition * Sha'tari Skyguard * Wyrmrest Accord * Sons of Hodir * The Sunreavers * Kirin Tor (For Faction Discount, Not required for purchase) * Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde (Achievement required for purchase) The List Faction Reputation Mounts Orgrimmar; Durotar (6

Sewer Rat's and Alterac Blitz

I had a computer crash and I can't find all the achievements I accomplished in the last few days. But, at least I remember I got: Alterac blitz I smell a Giant Rat (sheer luck - I got it on my 22nd cast in the sewers) Second that Emotion Northrend gourmet the Cake is not a Lie and many others I've been working on my cooking, buying up obscure Alliance-only recipes wherever possible. I'm at the point that without the Pilgrim's holiday, I should be able to hit 160 as soon as I have done all my Dalaran dailies. (I got the last of the recipe's from the Shattrath cooking daily recently). I also worked heavily on Loremaster. I should finish Icecrown tomorrow leaving only one zone for northrend Loremaster. I expected to be done sooner but the group quests in Icecrown seem to take a very long time. Achiements: 376/1054 (3925)
