[2,603 of 3,885] S.E.L.F.I.E. Madness!


Wednesday morning:

Sorted out AH stuff - bought gunshoes and healing potions, sold as much as possible.

Found a Medium Orange Chest for Puzzle Performer. Note that this one, like the blue one, showed up for the macro on Wowhead but wasn't in the spot that it should have been. In both cases it was in the "easy" spot instead of the "medium" one. Anyway, I only have one more of these to go!

Did the three emissary quests and picked up Seasoned: Neri Sharpfin. My others are at rank 9 and 11 so I'm now a third of the way through this achievement - hopefully I'll finish around the same time as I get Puzzle Performer.

Afterwords, I spent some time hunting for rares and items for the "biggest bag" achievement.


As an aside, this is a fantastic Shadowlands TODO guide: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTuGw0mW-s2nKPaiunMQsAK2CiX8w0ULLCMD8-ymgpIfxQ5veiv-iwHZlcDF8oC4PwRulspZxO4Ndcd/pubhtml#

Evening:

I started in Mechagon and was about to hearth when I thought I'd check if the Trogg was active. It was, and he hated green today, so I finally managed to unlock the green spraypaint. The only one left is "Big 'ol Bronze".

I finished the pre-patch questline for the feat of strength.

I worked on some battle pet world quests - I'm at 995 pet charms now.

In the mood for something different, I decided to finish up Field Photographer (take a S.E.L.F.I.E. at a whole bunch of locations). I had seven locations left when I started. The Temple of Karabor was noteworthy as it was one of the few times I've ever needed to use my Blessed Medallion of Karabor. Or would have been, except that I confused Draenor with Outland... Oh, and I picked up the Star Chart toy while I was in the zone.

A trip to Western Plaguelands for two more locations had me end up at Uther's Tomb. A quick flight south (I was heading to Karazan) made me realize I'd failed to complete the Hillsbrad Foothills questlines. I also picked up the Gnomish Cloaking Device engineering recipe I was missing (saving myself 4200g on the AH!). I've said it before but this kind of "wandering with a purpose" and openness to doing new things is why I love achievement hunting so much. Finding all the small things that get overlooked makes me appreciate the game so much more.

One annoying quest cropped up: Human Infestation in Hillsbrad Foothills. It requires getting humans below 35%. The problem is that even when naked, all of my attacks do more than that in damage. In the end I had to use purge to aggro a human and then use my escort for another escort quest to bash it down to 35% before I used the shackles. 

Cry of the Banshee has a similar mechanic and is even more annoying. Fortunately Wowhead comes to the rescue again! Use the Soft Foam Sword toy to reduce them to 1hp without killing them :)

These Hillsbrad quests sure do have a lot of cinematics...

Anyway, I am now the proud owner of the Hillsbrad Foothills Quests achievement!

Oh, and I picked up the Goblin Jumper Cables recipe from Zixil, along with three other limited supply recipes.

NOTE: Gnomish Cloaking Device seems like a great way to make money. Only a few gold worth of mats and they sell for 6.5k

I headed to Karazan, for a SELFIE of course, and stopped by Ironforge on the way to visit the tram and take a photo. I didn't even die!

After taking the selfie, I took a shot at Midnight (no luck on the mount, but I scored an engineering recipe I needed) and at the opera house music roll (like Midnight, no luck tonight).


Friday morning:

Before I headed to the Halls of Origination in Uldum for my penultimate S.E.L.F.I.E. , I stopped in Org to sell off my junk. I ended up buying a couple of companion pets that I didn't have, including Caverndark Nightmare for Give Me The Biggest Bag You've Got (buying it from the AH counted for the achievement).

A quick jaunt to Vash'jir and I'm now the proud owner of Field Photographer!


Next up, the Naz'jatar dailies. The PVP event was on, so I worked on that first for the battle commendations (eight, plus five more for winning). There was also a pet quest up offering Polished Pet Charms. The companion dailies gave me Seasoned: Peon Gillbrack as well.

Lastly, I picked up the Interdimensional Pet Portal for 1000 Polished Pet Charms, giving me enough space for all the Shadowlands pets.

[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
