Yesterday evening:
Bit more Shadowlands beta to look at the Vulpin ability from the Night Fae. It seems okay I guess but the teleport is minimal and the rest of the ability is like a modified ghost wolf and really not all that great. The other covenant that has the warlock teleport power may be more interesting - I need to check it out.
Next up was a bit more time in Naz'jatar where I did the War Mode event and picked up some Naz'jatar Battle Commendation (need 150 for the mount, plus 30+10 for the two toys). I have 66 right now.
I also picked up Symbol of Gral for 75 Prismatic Manapearls. Worth it since I have no idea what else to spend them on. I'm up to 386 toys now - closing in fast on the 400 toy achievement!
Next I went to farm for a Fathom Ray Wing, which is needed for I Thought You Said They'd Be Rare? and also gives 50 rep with two followers. I gave up after about 35 rays though - wasn't in the mood.
I headed to Drustvar to get some Pet Charms - I need 1000 of them for the new storage limit and I only have around 670. Travelling to this quest led me to kill a rare I needed for Adventurer of Drustvar as well.
A quick wander around Drustvar found a couple more rares that I needed, along with a Drust Ritual Knife from a treasure and one of the Drust Stele's needed for Drust the Facts, Ma'am. Another rare soon followed.
A quick Argent Tournament Tabard and I was at the Icecrown Scourge dailies. One thing I noticed was that the Putrid Geist pet that was 20,000g yesterday was just 2.5k today. I expect it will get even lower. My plan is to start buying them on the 18th or so and keep buying the cheapest ones until the expansion launches and they become unobtainable. I expect they will stay low for a year or so and then pick up to decent levels again, especially because (unlike Haunted Memento etc.) they actually have a function.
This morning:
Started in Naz'jatar again. No puzzle chests that I needed were up so I just did follower experience quests. I also stumbled upon Kelpwillow, which dropped the coral bark that grants +100 to all three followers, as well as counting for the I Thought You Said They'd Be Rare? quest. In addition, killing 15 hydras for the bounty gave me Subaquatic Support (complete 30 bounty quests)!
Next, I headed to Tiregard Sound to get 20 more pet charms. I'm basically finished with this zone other than the "gain 1000 honor" achievement. Boralus will be my next port of call.
This evening:
Into Drustvar, starting with Adventurer of Drustvar. It didn't take too long to get it. Best parts were picking a side to fight for with Longfang, and the Drust Soulcatcher that can rez you if you die (sadly only 20 uses).
Cursed Game Hunter was next and it was also simple to finish. I grabbed some treasures while flying over them. Interestingly, the last one that I finished (the crabs) were when I was in Tiragard Sound, yet it still counted.
Drust the Facts, Ma'am was next. This was slightly fiddly even with TomTom waypoints - some of these items are well hidden next to other stones. As an aside, I also ended up flying to the top of Mount Cortis and spotteted the easter egg of a signpost with the word "first" on it and a dead skeleton next to it. :) For the hell of it, I used a goblin glider to get back down (in preparation for the 23rd when I won't have flying any longer).
Sausage Sampler is the next one. Or would be. I'm not Alliance, so I need to buy these on the AH (or use an alt to do so).
Instead I went on to Treasures of Drustvar. The Heartsbane Grimoire toy from one of the chests boosted my toy count to 388, just 12 short of the 400 needed for the next achievement.
The simple stories told by the treasures are part of the reason I love achievement hunting. For example, the "merchant's chest" is obtainable from an overturned wagon, a squashed merchant and a "gorging raven" that needs to be killed to release the keys. It's almost forgettable if you rush through the game but I love finding these little unique things.
Getting all of the treasures also gave me Wicker, a pet. I already had one but a second one doesn't hurt. There a few things left to do in this zone but it's mostly alliance stuff, like the Lucille's Handkerchief toy, various sausages and various drinks and a worldquest that isn't up yet.
On to Stormsong Valley!
Adventurer of Stormsong Valley is first on the list. It looks like I have literally one more rare to kill to get it. Sadly, the "Whiplash!" quest isn't up right now, so I have to skip this one for now.
Sabertron likewise isn't up right now :(
In the end I headed back to Naz'jatar, where the Blue Hard Difficulty chest was up (thanks macro from wowhead!) and so was Caverndark Terror, a rare I needed to kill. I also noticed I'd finished four Naz'jatar world quests and so grabbed the emissary - that led to me getting A Fistful of Mana Pearls.
