96/100 Reputations and I finally got my PVP essence

I found a group of two others to farm the pirates with in Tanaris. Total time to get the final two Steamwheedle Cartel reps was just over an hour of killing as quickly as possible. The 15% bonus rep from the event coupled with the 15% from the guild standard definitely helped here.

I now need to finish up Emperor Shaohao (currently 7,174/21,000), Shado-Pan Assault (13,158/21,000), Avengers of Hyjal (2,930/21,000) and one other out of The Defilers, Warsong Gulch and Hydraxian Waterlords, all of which are terrible grinds. I'm going to work on The Defilers for now since it's AB weekend and the bonus rep is pretty good. Apparently the best time to go it is when the AB Brawl weekend is up where you fight against computerized opponents but this is still a pretty good time.

Hydraxian waterlords is one of these things that I just have to do every week and I'll get there in about ten more weeks.

One other small thing: I finally got my PVP essence after I paid someone 30g to get me an Island PVP win. Paying is annoying, but there are never any groups available and I'm not in a PVP guild. It's looking like I'll need to join a PVP guild eventually to get all my RBGs and Arena wins but that can wait, possibly until the next expansion.

Speaking of PVP, a couple of those achievements seem utterly demoralizing - 2700 3's rating for example, or Honor Level 500. The 2700 in particular looks only feasible through cheating (win trading) since barely 1-2 teams get it in a season :(

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 ...
