Darkmoon Faire and 300 Toys

My current "meta goal" is to get 300 mounts. This includes getting essentially all of the achievements that include a mount (since I'll need to get those eventually anyway). One of these sub-achievements is to collect 300 toys, which again means that I need to get every achievement that awards a toy for similar reasons to the above. It just so happens that a bunch of professions have a whole crapton of toys that can be created that are Bind On Pickup. Since there is an achievement to obtain 800 skill in every single profession, this implies that I'd need a much of alts to get all of the professions. There is another achievement for hitting 110 on five different characters and, well, hopefully you see how a simple-seeming achievement like "obtain 300 mounts" can cascade into a mess of sub-achievements. Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that I have been grinding alts to 110 in order to max out their professions (a lot of the profession quests require level 110). I've been trying to get these complete while DMF was on because Darkmoon Faire offers a quest that grants +5 to each profession each time the faire is up. This is the cheapest and easiest way to go from 795 to 800 skill. To make a long story short, I hit 110 with a rogue alt, 107 with a Demon hunter and I have a mage and hunter at the point where they have their artifact weapons. The Mage is alliance and the hunter was chosen because aspect of the cheetah makes a number of achievements (like the "whack a mole" one at DMF) much easier. Anyway, it turns out that I miscalculated the end date of DMF and now have a bunch of professions at 795 skill :( I also worked on a bunch of the other DMF achievements, many of which award toys. The "racer" ones in particular are worth a ton of points and all seem to award something unique. I finished two of the four "11 toll" racer achievements, as well as the skybirds challenge and some others. screenshots to follow.

 7/21/23: I started the day with some quests from the dragon hatchery and for Chromie. The Chromie one was fun - she turned me into a quest giver and had me hand out quests. After that, I did the Tempo quests near Chromie and picked up a cosmetic shades in the process. Next, I worked on the Daycare questline. I now have to wait until tomorrow before continuing. lAfter that, I worked on Loamen Niffen rep to get the 1500 for the weekly. The first quest I did however was for a 405 bracer that I upgraded to 411. (afternoon) I just learned that I can buy Vault keys for 50 Dragonscale Supplies each! [Every Door, Everywhere, All at Once] is mine! I also picked up An Odd Round Object, which is an item I needed to continue the "story" questline from Voraxian (this is an achievement I was working on a few days ago). 7/22/23: I noticed that Old Hatreds' mob was no longer evade bugged and so finally finished that questline, getting [A New Beginning]!

 8/7/23: I picked up the Duskytooth Snooter by repeatedly resetting the Mechagon instance 18 times until it spawned! Next I did some more Little Scales Daycare quests and picked up two more pets from it. 1464 total now. Now to use my Ultrasafe Transporter and head back to Mechagon to get the last two pets I need. The first of which, Specimen 97, looks like it should be easy enough to catch as it's supposed to be unique but always up. The last one I needed was Yellow Junkhopper. I took the advice on wowhead and made a macro to target it, then repeatedly exited and re-entered the Mechagon instance in order to eventually have one pop up. I think I did this thirteen times or so before it worked (lockout is at 10, so it took an extra hour) and now I finally have [Mecha-Safari]!  I went after the Shadowlands pets next. I was missing four, including Clutch which is semi-rare so I went after that one first. The rest were easy and so now I have [Shadowlands Safari]]! 8/8/23: I spent a bit o
