[2564 of 3898] Two Sides To Every Tale and more

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.

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

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
