I'm still working on the BFA meta-achievement Family Battler which involves beating 15 (of 19) different BFA pet trainers with a family of all undead, all mechanical etc. In total I need to win 150 different battles.
I started doing this in a completely incorrect way, focusing first on getting "Hobbyist Aquarist" then on "Beast Mode" and so on. Don't do that. Instead, just fly to a trainer and do all ten pet families on that trainer, then fly to the next one. You don't need the world quest to be up either.
I recommend skipping any fights that are especially difficult with a particular family and revisiting them at the very end if you absolutely need one more win from a trainer.
Originally, I read wowhead for every boss and tried to find the correct comp listed in the suggestions. I no longer do that - the ten PVP teams I built for Family Brawler earlier in the month work fine for almost all of the NPC trainers as well so there is little need to create completely custom teams. I still have these PVP teams saved in Rematch, so the whole process of flying to a trainer, fighting with each team and moving on to the next is simplified.
In terms of other pet battle achievements, I finally completed the "normal" version of the Westfall and Gnomergan pet dungeons. THESE QUESTS REWARD PORTALS TO THEIR LOCATIONS. I had no idea. After the horde portals were all removed, I found it tedious to get to the center of the Eastern Kingdoms but a portal straight to Westfall is just about perfect - especially because it exists in both (Legion) Dalaran AND Zandalar.
Finally, I started grinding the last two Celestial Tournament pets I need. It takes three weeks per pet so it will be six weeks before I finish. The main issue I've found here is that a lot of the guides (e.g. on wowhead) have old information that no longer applies - something that is annoying to find out halfway through a no-heal scenario.
Anyway, off to finish Family Battler, then I need to start working on the Legion variants - that means a lot more pet battles to come.
8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!
