[2,595 of 3898] Shadowlands prep




Friday Evening:

I checked Mechagon without luck and then got a couple of friends together to do some of the older achievements. I picked up four of the five I needed for Cataclysm Raider , including both of the Temple of the Four Winds achievements. I mis-read the Nefarion one or I'd have a shiny new mount today. I also picked up a couple of Cataclysm heroic dungeon achievements that I was missing.

I'm going to try to knock out a lot of these this week - they are easy and quick and by doing so, I'll be better able to gage how much more I still need to do once all the easy stuff is done.


Saturday:

I did my three Naz'jatar follower dailies, then went pet charm hunting with three world quests.

I deecided to clear out the pet battles in my quest log. Gnomergan was the first one - I had to defeat it in challenge mode. I found this useful from wowhead:

If you're horde, the ideal, death-free way of getting to Micro Zoox is the following:
- go to Grom'gol Base Camp in Nothern Stranglethorn
- take the teleport into Gnomegeran
- create a custum group and instantly leave it (or join an existing group)
- wait a minute to get teleported out of the dungeon
You'll spawn right before the NPC! No deaths, no repair costs!


I promptly wasted HOURS doing this dungeon, only to finally fail for the last time on the very last boss because I didn't fully read the strat and missed a key line. :( I was so frustrated that I gave up.


Yesterday:

With Gnomergan mocking me, I decided to get some more pet charms, followed by a Naz'jatar puzzle check and the dailies for followers. I played a bit more in the evening but it was mostly just gather Shadowlands supplies and grabbing additional pet charms.

In terms of supplies, I'm using the suggestions found on a Reddit thread:


LIGHT STEP HOOFPLATES 5

GUNSHOES 80

DRUMS (UP TO LVL 51) 5

GREATER FLASK 15

ABYSSAL HEALING POTION 80

TEN LANDS XP POT (50-51) 2

BEAR TRTR / FIGHTER CHW 40

GOBLIN GLIDERS 60

LIGHTFOOT POTION (50-51) 15

HERBALISTS SPADE (PROF) 1

TOME - (QUIET MIND) 5


This morning:

Another round of Naz'jatar dailies for followers, plus another puzzle chest and then some pet charms. I'm at about 850 charms now so I'll hopefully be over 1000 by the time the xpac drops.

Planning for the final week of BFA:

Weekly Periodic Destruction

At least three island expeditions.

Try to do a heroic warfront (I think I need Darkshore).

Do a bunch of Visions of N'Zoth to clear bags and to try to get We Have The Technology

Do all pet battle dungeons (this should also clear out my quest log)

Make progress on everything left in my log so I don't have to hang on to a bunch of old quests.

Find a Shadowlands guide to each profession and IMPORTANT find out which reps I need to grind first and how to do them.

[3,115 of 4,646] A whole lot of random.

 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]!

[3,126 of 4,647] The Shadows Revealed!

 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
