[2553 of 3648] All Mythic +15 complete! Plus planning for pre-patch





I finished the Battle For Azeroth Keystone Master achievement by getting the final +15 Mythics that I needed. Just like most of the others, I did this by buying runs instead of actually putting in the work to do them all properly. (I DID do some of the +15s with my guild but I didn't want to lean on them too much).

I did some more Island Expeditions this week and picked up 500 doubloons for one of the mounts. This put me at 300, which gave me both Lord of the Reins and another mount towards 400 :)

Some planning for the pre-patch:

First, as usual, I need to focus on the things that are going away forever. Getting the +15 mount (and Bruce from the Brawler's Guild quest) were my main pre-patch goals. There are some other things liek the Mad World feat of strength that are tempting but I don't care all that much about titles, unless there is a non-feat achievement associated with them. 

I'll most likely try to hit rank 4 brawlers guild because I'm nearly there anyway and it unlocks heirlooms/ xmogs that may end up going away. I'm less sure if I care about getting to rank 8 or doing the other things as these will probably all become feats of strength soon.

Hertz Locker, i.e. do a full Mechagon run on hard mode with no deaths (to get vision of perfection rank 4) is tempting since it goes away in the pre-patch, but I don't think I care much about the cosmetic stuff and getting every rank 4 essence is probably not going to happen before Shadowlands (so no title for me either).

One interesting thing is that reps in Legion and BFA currently get a 100% boost. I'm definitely going to use this to his exalted with the two latest factions but I also realized that this applies to all the reps I need to unlock allied races on the alliance side. Coupled with the 100% experience bonus (is this still a thing?) and I should really be focusing on both unlocking all the alliance allied races and on getting whatever reps I need to complete the war campaign on alliance.

I have a second account that I never use and I'm tempted to try my hand at multiboxing. I got the second account (same battle.net account) because it is one of the few sane ways to get enough honor to hit some of the crazier PVP achievements (like honor level 400) - this is because the honor achievements are shared between linked accounts. Doing this now would also mean I get to avoid buying shadowlands multiple times for each account.

With three accounts, I could run one half of an island expedition by myself. That would help with all the IE PVP achievements I've yet to complete. Of course, with SIX accounts, I could queue against myself...

As for other mounts, it may be worth paying for the Mytic Jaina mount to avoid having to farm it at 1% later. For around 250,000g this is probably worth it to be honest. Mythic N'Zoth on the other hand is far too expensive to buy.

To summarize then:

For Deathspiral, I'll make sure to get to exalted with both of my missing reps and I'll get rank 4 in the Brawler's Guild for the achievement and xmogs etc. For multibox stuff:

1. I'll get a third account to multibox with, set up the appropriate software and bractice running three characters at the same time.
2. I'll research a good mix to go with my current shaman main and will work on getting them all to the point that I can do one side of an island expedition by myself.
3. I'll then switch to alliance and work on the reps I need to unlock the various allied races, as well as making sure that I complete the war campaign while there are still people running raids (and the rep boost helps).
4. If there is also a 100% experience boost available, I'll level up some of the allied races from their starting level for the achievements for them. This is a grind so hopefully I can find some tricks to make it faster.
5. With a large stable of alts, I can focus on making money via professions and mount farming more easily.

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 ...
