PVP Pet Battles

Slow going with PVP pet battles right now. I'm grinding through all of the Family Brawler achievements in order to get the meta. This is much more difficult than it used to be because of the new matchmaking system where similarly-experienced players tend to get matched against each other more frequently than before. I'm only winning one in every 3-4 battles right now with my Magic-type team and it's pretty frustrating, especially because I usually get matched up against the same opponents repeatedly. Assuming I get all of these finished this week, I still need to win another 300 battles with a level 25 team for the 1000 match wins achievement. I'll post when I find a comp that I particularly like for that one. Once those are done, I then need to continue work on the other "Family" achievements for the various trainers, then, to round things out, I'll need to get a couple more celestial tournament pets, finish Deadmines and then grind roughly 4000 PVE and PVP wins. These last two I may punt on a bit - they are easy enough (just battling the level 1 pets in Org is enough to win 5000 battles) but I suspect many of them will be completed naturally over time, so no need to rush them. I've also been grinding out the rest of my Draenor garrison achievements. I'm closing in on the "Exalted with all bodyguards" achievement, as well as the "1000 Naval Battles" one (a tip: make sure you equip your ships with fishing nets - these actually count as catching the fish for some fishing achievements). Back to the grind...

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 ...

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 ...
