With the advent of flying, I've managed to pick up a lot of the smaller exploration achievements. My personal favorite was the "sand surfing" one where I got to surf down sand dunes. Cool little minigame.
As for what is next - I sometimes feel overwhelmed by everything still do do and so spend twenty minutes just dawdling instead of doing something more productive. As a result, I asked for suggestions in the achievements discord channel on what to work on next.
The consensus was "400 Mounts". This is an interesting one because of all of the sub-tasks that it contains. To do it efficiently, I really need to also work on all of the achievements that reward a mount for completion, as well as things like exalted reputations that unlock mounts for purchase.
Here is a breakdown of the mounts I have so far (from https://simplearmory.com/#/us/area%2052/deathspiral/collectable/mounts)
Lots missing, right?
One thing to note is that there are MAJOR achievements that reward one of the missing mounts. The worst is likely "Honor level 500" which is something like a two-year grind if it's done properly (it's likely a lot faster if you "cheat" and have two 40-man raids take turns killing each other).
I've decided to focus on "100 Reputations" as my next big task. I'm going to keep working slowly on the Legion pet achievements as well - I can usually do 1-2 of those a day, but I have a feeling that "100 Exalted Reputations" will keep me busy for a while.
Today I went back to Ogri-la for the first time in a long time and did the four dailies there for (350+350+350+500=) 1550 rep per day. At this rate it will take about nine days to hit exalted. One useful tool has been the Gnome Engineering toy Ultrasafe Transporter: Toshley's Station which takes me very close to the quest point. Minimizing travel time is essential to a speedy grind.
I'm going to run a bunch of the rep-grinding raids like Molten Core on Sunday so as to take advantage of the Darkmoon Faire 10% rep buff. If I'm lucky the 15th anniversary coming soon will supply another 15% rep buff too. I'll use my guild banner on cooldown to help as well. I also have a bunch of items in my bank to use for AQ40 rep and I'm sure some of the others can be done quickly as well.
Here is my rep so far:
I just hit Exalted with Mechagon last night. Nazjatar is something I plan on only grinding when it has an emissary quest as the rewards from the dailies are so limited.
For other raids that give rep, I need to make sure I complete all of their other achievement at the same time that I'm rep grinding - no sense in getting exalted then having to go back in for some of the other achievements for Glory of Whatever.
Focusing on rep grinds is actually pretty fun again - the goals are clear and I'm generally not time-gated in the same was as I am with the Legion pet achievements where it's all about having the right quest up for a given day.
