[2233 of 3346] Brawl'Gar Arena, Island Expeditions, Legendary Cloak and Mythic +15's.

 My default stance is that I usually don't bother getting a decent set of gear during the expansion because when a new patch comes out, it's all obsolete anyway. This strategy means that working on current-gen content seldom works out - I'm usually undergeared.

The main reason for this in the past has been that I don't have enough time in my day to devote to mythic raiding, but I realized that Mythic+ is still a perfectly fine way to gather gear and so for the last few weeks I've been trying to raise my ilevel here and there. I'm at 465 ilevel now, hardy spectacular but enough that I can enjoy most of the current content at least.

Because of this gear boost, I've decided to finally focus on completing the Brawler's Guild questline before the mount goes away for good in a month or two. I also plan on completing all +15 keys in time in order to get that achievement (and mount) as well as doing enough Island Expeditions to finish the vast majority of those achievements as well (on the assumption that people won't be grouping much for these in the future, especially for PVP).

I'm having fun playing. The Brawler's Guild especially - I've only been working on the questline for a day or so but I'm already past the trial stage, nearing the end of the whole questline. 

Anyway, I want to finish the questline this week, as well as making a serious dent in the other tasks. The cloak questline to level 15 is pretty poorly designed in my opinion - anyone who didn't rank up their cloak when it was cutting edge content is forced to scrounge for groups that are willing to take them, despite them having almost zero sanity protection. The only reason I've managed to hit rank 14 is due to the kindness of friends.

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 ...
