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.

[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
