Post-Blizzcon update

Blizzcon was fun. Like last year, I spent most of the time watching the arena finals - some *extremely* close games and skillful play all around. The new expansion looks good and I played the demo for a bit - it reminds me of Argus in the way the quests and things are laid out. I'm particularly looking forward to the new "tower" dungeon that is randomly generated like a roguuelike game.

I'm still running Molten Core each week - looks like another 14 weeks to hit Exalted though. I plan on doing Firelands some time soon to finish off that rep and I need to grind out the four goblin reps more at some point. I hate grinding but perhaps I can find a way to make it enjoyable.

Looking for some more easy wins, I spotted the following:


It looks like a mythic run of Siege of Orgrimmar is in the cards.

Speaking of older raids, I also have a huge gap in collecting all the set armors for each of them. I'm fairly confident that within fourteen weeks or so I'll eventually get the rest of my Molten Core set pieces (missing just three of them) but the other raids are going to be a bit of a pain. I *think* the best way to handle these is to armor-stack and run with friends who are willing to trade me their drops. For dungeons like BWL, this is pretty easy since anyone in the raid has a chance to get any item from a boss.

I also have a lot of work to do for PVP. I'm finally bothering to learn how to play Elemental shamans properly in PVP, starting with learning the optimal burst damage rotation.

 7/21/23: I started the day with some quests from the dragon hatchery and for Chromie. The Chromie one was fun - she turned me into a quest giver and had me hand out quests. After that, I did the Tempo quests near Chromie and picked up a cosmetic shades in the process. Next, I worked on the Daycare questline. I now have to wait until tomorrow before continuing. lAfter that, I worked on Loamen Niffen rep to get the 1500 for the weekly. The first quest I did however was for a 405 bracer that I upgraded to 411. (afternoon) I just learned that I can buy Vault keys for 50 Dragonscale Supplies each! [Every Door, Everywhere, All at Once] is mine! I also picked up An Odd Round Object, which is an item I needed to continue the "story" questline from Voraxian (this is an achievement I was working on a few days ago). 7/22/23: I noticed that Old Hatreds' mob was no longer evade bugged and so finally finished that questline, getting [A New Beginning]!

 8/7/23: I picked up the Duskytooth Snooter by repeatedly resetting the Mechagon instance 18 times until it spawned! Next I did some more Little Scales Daycare quests and picked up two more pets from it. 1464 total now. Now to use my Ultrasafe Transporter and head back to Mechagon to get the last two pets I need. The first of which, Specimen 97, looks like it should be easy enough to catch as it's supposed to be unique but always up. The last one I needed was Yellow Junkhopper. I took the advice on wowhead and made a macro to target it, then repeatedly exited and re-entered the Mechagon instance in order to eventually have one pop up. I think I did this thirteen times or so before it worked (lockout is at 10, so it took an extra hour) and now I finally have [Mecha-Safari]!  I went after the Shadowlands pets next. I was missing four, including Clutch which is semi-rare so I went after that one first. The rest were easy and so now I have [Shadowlands Safari]]! 8/8/23: I spent a bit o
