Exalted with The Defilers, Squirt Day was a bust and lots of Marks of Honor

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.

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 important) honor are shared between all the accounts tied to the same Blizzard account. This means you could join, say, an AV (like the one currently ongoing) with five accounts and get crazy honor from them. I'm seriously considering buying a few extra monitors and playing 4-5 accounts on the same machine if this is a viable thing to do.

Finally, I did my usual MC run for Hydraxian Waterlords rep and I ran Firelands for the Avengers of Hyjal rep. These two, plus Throne of Thunder are the main reps I still need to pick up for 100. Hydraxian Waterlords is going to take many more weeks, even with the DMF bonus, the 15% bonus and a guild banner for an extra 15% (plus 10% and 5% on other pulls with the three different guild banners).

My plan for today is to run Throne of Thunder for the rep, then to dig into how multiboxing works in practice, then set up RAF for at least one account and start to level up the allied races that I need for the max-level achievements.

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 ...
