Finally, flying!

Not much to say here. I've been away for quite some time and missed a lot of the initial 8.2 rush.

I finally got flying yesterday after grinding rep for much too long. There wasn't much to it - just log in, do as many of the quests in both zones as possible, then log out. It definitely felt like a grind, especially seeing other people flying right next to me.

Most hated quest was the "Get six chests in Mechagon" one - this seems easy with flying but without it, it's possible to never see all six of them even after spending hours searching.

 Next up: I'm not sure actually. I'll need to get exalted with the two new factions eventually but I want to make sure I do it efficiently. Right now I'm leveling up my cooking and fishing - I want to get the new Compressed Ocean toy from Secret Fish and Where to Find Them so I'll mostly likely do that plus some more work on pets this week.

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 ...

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

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 ...
