Gelkis and Magram Centaur Exalted - an unexpected bonus!

I've been playing WoW since the initial public beta of vanilla. I had a Tauren shaman and Plainsrunning was still a thing, although I neve hit a high enough level to use it before it was removed.

In all that time, I've "known" that Gelkis and Magram clan centaur rep could never both reach exalted. It turns out I was completely wrong here and since 8.0, doing the Desolace quests gives exalted with BOTH factions!

As a result, I have a plan to hit over 100 reputations without having to go for something like Bloodsail rep or something equally difficult.

I'm currently working on things like Ogri'la rep that I failed to finish in the past, as well as Brood of Nozdormu, Scale of the sands and the four goblin factions (Booty Bay, Everlook etc.). I expect most of these to be finished in a week or two with the exception of Hydraxian Waterlords and the WSG and AB reps, all of which take an enormous amount of time to complete.


Going back to the old content is pretty fun - even Ogri'la has a certain charm despite how much I hated it previously. Doing Molten Core makes me wish I'd not lost my original account since I had 8/8 Earthfurt anormor set on that particular shaman as well as some things that are no longer in the game.

Onwards!

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 ...
