Rep grind going well - Ashtongue Deathsworn, Ogri'la, Booty bay etc.

I went through quite a few runs yesterday, including hitting exalted with the Ashtongue Deathsworn. I did Molten Core for the Hydraxian Waterlords rep (still a long way to go here) as well as AQ40 where I'm very close to hitting exalted. I also picked up five pieces of the class armor set from AQ40, useful for the transmog achievements.

I paid 300,000g for a carry run to complete Mechagon hard mode (the one that rewards the mount). I normally don't pay for runs but it had been sitting there as uncomplete for a long time and was bothering me. The gear from the run took me all the way from 406 ilvl to 417 so it was worth it in terms of increased speed I'll have at killing mobs in the future.

I forced myself to do Ogri'la dailies again. Being able to teleport to their zone helps, as did the "OgriLazy" addon to help with memorizing the order of red/green/blue/yellow flashes from one of the quests. I remember why I quit doing this rep in the past - I really disliked this quest and the one where demons need to be banished, but tenacity should hopefully pay off in the future - I think I only need to do this eight more days for exalted.

Working on The Oracles is also fairly straightforward and will take roughly the same amount of time as Ogri'la as I'm revered with them also. I'm going to skip Frenzyheart until I reach 100 exalted reputations.

Once all of the easy reps are out the way, I still need to grind the Tanaris pirates to get all four goblin factions to exalted. It looks like that will take 2-3 hours of grinding, not something I can force myself to do, so I'm breaking it up into fifteen minute chunks. Being able to use the engineering teleport toy to get to Tanaris fast makes this viable, although I could probably just take the caverns of time portal in org to save even more time.

One last thing: I've still to complete the Winterspring quests. These reward quite a lot of rep with Everlook and the other goblin factions, so I'm off to do them now before grinding more pirates...

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 ...
