[2,572 of 3,898] Nazmir and Vol'dun misc.

I played a bit last night and some more this morning. I started with Treasures of Zulduzar and Treasures of Nazmir since both were simple "follow the co-ordinates" achievements, then more Jani trash quests.

I started in Vol'Dun this morning by picking up some more items for Get Hek'ed for Jani. Grinding the deer and fawns took a lot longer than expected - I gave up last night and almost gave up this morning.

Then I grabbed all three pirate buffs and killed twenty undead pirates for Scourge of Zem'lan. It was fun to visit another subzone I'd completely forgotten about.

I spent quite a while Sandfishingr all of the different colored scales. If you do this, there are two tricks: first, turn off auto loot. Second, spam-click the fishing pole to spawn a bunch of mobs. Then only loot the items you still need to avoid ending the world quest. In the end Adept Sandfisher took a bit over half an hour to do.

Back over to Nazmir to do another quest for Jani for Get Hek'd. Then I realized I forgot one in Vol'dun. :) I finished it and finally picked up the Get Hek'd achievement!

I did a quick search of all ten waypoints for the alpaca mount, after picking up Seaside Leafy Greens Mix, but didn't find him.

I DID notice that I'd forgotten to buy both another mount (Reins of the Voldunai Dunescraper) and a toy (Words of Akunda) from the Voldunai vendor, so I grabbed those taking me to 360 mounts and 384 toys respectively. (That toys number is getting close to the 400 achievement).

I noticed I was 3/4 Talanji's Expedition so decided to finish another WQ quickly and get the bonus, then I headed to Darkmoon Faire again for the rep buff and to turn in a couple of quests, then on to Pandaria for another assault to boost my rep with Rajani (which, it turns out, wasn't active, oh well).

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 ...
