Back after a lot of time off

I kind of gave up on WoW for a while (again), mostly because of a combination of boredom and work. I think the legendary cloak thing just irritated me because of the poor design: the only real way to get past around rank six it to go with a group, but the only people who want a rank six cloak person are those who are around the same level. Many weeks into an expansion, that's effectively nobody (I keep trying in LFG) and so I just gave up.

I restarted my efforts around eight or nine days ago after deciding to finally get enough gear, essences, azerite traits, corruption etc. to be able to consistently do mythic plus dungeons. I don't have the uninterrupted time to raid right now but M+ is doable, and the whole game feels so much more fun when you have good gear.

Anyway, I paid gold for two M15 runs and two 5-mask runs to get quickly back up to speed and my cloak is at rank 10 now and I've mostly figured out all the essences and things that I need to be semi-competent. My gear went from about 440 to 456 in a week (without any raiding) and I'll try to get a normal or heroic run in next week to round things out.

I've picked up a lot of random achievements - for example, I did three mythic island expeditions (extremely easy now) plus a variety of mythic dungeons (some of which I'd yet to complete in heroic). The 5-mask runs of both Orgrimmar and Stormwind both led to an absolute ton of achievements too.

Lots of small housecleaning tasks as well, like finally emptying out my bags and bank and auctioning as much stuff as I could. I've probably make 300,000g this week from junk in my bank - the new auction house is SO much better than the old one in terms of being able to list things easily and quickly. I remember literal hours spent in TSM daily cancelling and relisting stuff.

Anyway, when I get my next chest on Tuesday, I'll take stock and see how far I've come, and whether or not I'm able to do M+ at a decent level or not.

 8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!

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 ...

[3,445 of 5,450] You Know How to Reach Me

 7/3/24: [Neltharion's Legacy] and [Legend of the Multiverse]! I picked this up from the weekly time vault. [Scroll Hunter]! This one I am happy to be done with. I thought it was going to be a lot harder - wowhead comments imply as much. In the end it probably took two hours of farming Froststone Vault with crystals. [Treasures of Thaldraszus]! 7/8/24: [Treasures of the Azure Span]! [Wake Me Up]! [Treasure Hunter of the Dragon Isles]! [Treasures of the Waking Shores]! I have no more treasures to find! This one promised to be a slog but actually was easy enough, I just picked up Disturbed Dirt and Expedition Packs while doing other things like hunts. 7/9/24: [Forbidden Spoils]! 7/11/24: [Hunt Master]! I finally figured out how hunts work and realized that they don't show up until you are actually in the zone. As a result I can finally work on [Disgruntled Hunter] [Under the Weather]! I just logged in every two hours and got all three I was missing in a row!   7/13/24: I've b...
