On Sunday, my Alliance Priest made it through the 400+ quests and five (?) dungeons needed to finish enough of the Alliance war campaign and get the Two Sides To Every Tale achievement. That was entertaining, if long. Pick up a mount or two didn't hurt either.
Yesterday I worked on some Rajani rep, and completely forgot to use the 16% bonus and the 10% bonus from Darkmoon Faire. :(
After that, I decided it was time to clear out my quest logs and bags in preparation for Shadowlands. I ended up turning in a quest in Twilight Highlands, at which point All The Things reminded me that I only has a couple of outstanding tasks in that zone. As a result, I spent a bit of time hunting down all the rares for Dragonmaw Tour of Duty. I also knocked out part of An Awfully Big Adventure (the one that involves fighting a huge number of pet battles with a useless Elekk plushie on your team).
Honestly, I love that kind of achievement hunting - it's a lot of fun to use achievements to stumble upon new things, rather than treating them almost like a chore. ATT is such a fantastic addon because it makes it so easy to see nearby achievements and exactly what is required to complete them.
Anyway, after Twilight Highlands, I realized that I'd not finished the Vulpera allied race questline. I was most of the way finished too - just the Suramar portion was left. It was a pleasant surprise to get both an extra toy and a mount from the questline.
Some random quest or other led me to Stormsong Valley next. I finished up the last of the Tortollan quests there that I'd never bothered to do before and again ATT reminded me of several unfinished achievements (mostly because, as horde, I didn't start on this continent).
Legends of the Tidesages was a simple "go to X co-ordinates Y times" achievement, while These Hills Sing was a fun little easter egg. I also noticed the Sabertron WQ was up and made some progress on Sabertron Assemble, which requires killing one Sabertron of every color and needs the WQ for the colored variants to spawn.
Finally, not exactly an achievement, but I also picked up the "secret" mount Nazjatar Blood Serpent!
The steps are pretty simple: go to the AH, buy 20 of the required item, to to the altar, use the item, go to another flaming alter thing, use the new item, kill a fairly tough elite, get a new mount! Again, ATT is the reason I noticed this at all.
