Underachiever: Every WoW Achievement

With the release date of 8.3 announced, I've decided to be a bit more aggressive about finishing up my 8.2 achievements. Honestly, I think I just want All The Things to stop nagging me :) I've already picked up the Crimson Tidestallion and I've been slowly working on leveling up my bodyguards in Nazjatar to level 30 (I have a long, long way to go). I've also FINALLY started on the 13-week nonsense achievement to summon all the various elementals. I really dislike weekly gated achievements like this one as it means I need to carefully read every achievement when they come out in order to ensure I find the gated ones early enough to not waste time. On top of this, I picked up Feline Figurines Found and Trove Tracker - much simpler to do with flying. I've also made sure to take part in a bunch of PVP in Nazjatar as it looks like several of the achievements there require it. This is my current "exploration" achievement status for BFA:

I have all but three of the Secret Fish - I'm just missing a common one and the two that only spawn at night and only during the day. I tried farming this on a  floating island for a while but eventually got bored and decided I'll get it eventually just by grabbing them doing other stuff. I did get Mrrl's Secret Stash after getting lucky with my Benthic cloak (first try!) and him having the mount in stock (first try again!). Trove Tracker is finally complete as well, with the notorious "Arcane Chest #5" finally opening up after about ten attempts. I took it upon myself to try to get the crafted engineering helmet as it's the best one for PVP, having the top Azerite powers. I then learned I needed to go farm 20, then 200 items from the Eternal Palace and so finally went and did LFR. I'm happy I finally got the "you killed all the bosses" achievements but I'm less happy that I only received ONE of the 220 items for each wing cleared. A...

I'm trying to make more of an effort to clean up the quests and achievements that have been sitting around for what seems like forever on the right hand side of my screen. To that end, I spent an hour before bed and an hour before the weekly reset working on Secret Fish and Where to Find Them  - my wife already has this achievement which she described as "a pain" and I'm both jealous of her awesome ball of the ocean toy and tired of seeing the achievement listed under the ones I've been tracking as a reminder. Anyway, I picked up a dozen or so of the fish I'm currently missing and I only have nine left. I got a nice surprise right before the server reset, fishing up a Mimic Octopus for the Pandaren Angler achievement (and a few Nat Pagle rep). I also managed to get another Tol Barad win randomly - now at 23/25 wins for the last achievement I need for that meta. Plans for the next week: It's Timewalking this week, so I want to do at least ...

I've played about twenty five matches of Comp Stomp and I'm now Exalted with The Defilers (thanks to the DMF buff and the 15% bonus from the current event). I honestly thought this would take forever to get so now I have hope for the WSG version. Super Squirt Day was a bit of a bust. I didn't have a lot of time and I HATED the repetitive grind so I only got ten pets to level 25. All that winning of Arathi Basin got me something in the region of 120 Mark of Honor though - I picked up around ten different sets of PVP armor, which gave me 100 achievement points, plus a further ten from the meta-achievement. Before: After: As I'm looking at this, it's clear that I have a lot of old dungeons to farm. My current plan is to do this with a RAF friend or three to maximize the number of rolls I can get for the tier gear. Speaking of RAF - I really want to do it for the rewards soon. More importantly, I just recently learned that things like pets and (most imp...

Interesting mix of achievements today. First, I worked on Paku'al which was simply bugging me in All The Things. I then paid 115k for a mythic 10 run because I've realized having better gear helps me do just about everything - I'm now at 433 iLevel and I don't even do LFR normally. Today I did the Deadmines pet battle to both finally clear it from my quest list (it had been there for what seemed like months) and to start the work on three bottlecaps for the Pocket Cannon pet that I need for Argus/ Broken isles. It's pet battle week so I quickly did fifteen pet battles for the stone and the weekly (I know I only need ten, but I was winning and they count towards Deadly Pet Brawler). I'd honestly do more, until I found out today is Comp Stomp day. Holy shit the rep! I'm now revered with the Defilers and I expect to get exalted. The 15% bonus rep from the event is just icing. Two minute queues and five minute matches mean that I'll hit exalted with...

Short update. I just found out that I was missing five pets from Deepholme and grabbed them all today. The reason I found this out was because I'd heard (on the achievements discord group) that there was a Super Squirt Day coming on Thursday, where pets could be leveled from level 1 to level 25 in about 75 seconds per pet. I've been working on the Argus and Broken Isles pet achievements sporadically but was frequently stymied by the fact I was missing a particular pet for the strategies I could find. Fortunately, today I also found that absolutely fantastic https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=LegionChecker Xu Fu Legion Checker which gives a list of all the pets I need to level to 25 in order to use all the Xu Fu pet strategies. It's a long list - almost 120 pets that I currently own but are not level 25. I also found a few that I didn't own, mostly Deepholme ones that I've now picked up. Anyway, on Thursday I'm going to be leveling pets like a mani...
