Goals and the tracking of them

Let's talk about goals. Obviously the overall goal is "get every achievement in the game" but that's so nebulous and far away that it provides little motivation. Roughly speaking, my primary goal before the next expansion is to complete essentially all of the solo content as well as most of the old raids and small group content. As a concrete goal, I want to get the "300 Mounts" achievement, since that one includes a lot of the other achievements of this type. "Part of "300 Mounts" involves collecting 300 toys. I'm getting close to finishing this one up: Just wanted to mention ALL THE THINGS - the best damn addon for collectors I've ever seen. It's fantastic. Here is a quick shot of it with the "Toy Box" section open: As you can see, ATT has information on essentially every item in the game that is collectible in some way. It also pops up zone-specific information, so as I fly from one area to the next, I can hone in on anything that I'm still missing. That was a major part of the reason that I *finally* managed to complete "What A Long Strange Interdimensional Trip It's Been..." and get the final rare spawns for my Pepe achievement.

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 ...

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 ...
