Working on Secret Fish and planning for the week

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:


  1. It's Timewalking this week, so I want to do at least one Timewalking dungeon on both my main and on an alt alliance mage for the 500 tokens - gotta get those mounts!
  2. It's apparently Firelands Timewalking. I still need more Firelands rep, so I'll be doing that too.
  3. The usual Molten Core run for rep and my last armor piece. I've got this down to under ten minutes and I use all three guild banners for extra rep.
  4. A Throne of Thunder run for rep and missing set pieces. Hopefully I'll hit exalted here.
  5. I'm going to farm some Timeless Isle rares and Emperor rep. I feel like I'll hit exalted long before I get all the stuff for the horribly difficult Going to Need a Bigger Bag so I'm not stressing about this one too much.
  6. Finish Secret Fish. I have the schematics to go to The Other Place in Mechagon whenever I wish, so the occasional nature of the Chromie quest isn't an issue here.
  7. I'm aiming to do a BG a Brawl and an Epic BG every day to both gradually work on my PVP achievements and to get some more Mark of Honor to finish up my "appearances" achievements.
  8. After all that, I'm not sure. I should probably work on Broken Isles pet dailies since that's a long grind and they only have a couple up at a time but I find it really tiresome to have to travel all the way to every trainer and, more importantly, I can't yet tell at a glance which quests yield relevant trainers and which are with ones that don't have achievements. I should print out a list.
  9. Daily Naval Missions for the "1000 Naval Missions" achievement. Blah.

All of the above mostly feels like housekeeping. I need to find a new meaty set of achievements to work on next. Is it finally time to go through all the old Dungeons and Raids achievements that I'm missing? Cataclysm looks like it's full of quick wins:

[3,115 of 4,646] A whole lot of random.

 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]! Next up, Little Scales Daycare fo

[3,126 of 4,647] The Shadows Revealed!

 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
