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.
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 ...
