Underachiever: Every WoW Achievement

 I accidentally queued for a heroic dungeon on Monday night instead of a battleground. I decided to stay in the run and picked up [Spires of Ascension] and [Heroic: Spires of Ascension] by accident :) Tuesday morning hits and there is nothing in the weekly chest for me (again) so I grab 750 stygia. This is kind of lame as I lost 2,500 in the Maw yesterday trying to get into Perdition Hold without the questline being complete to access it. [Prepare For Trouble] was obtained, but at great cost. Sending my adventurers out - I'm focusing on XP-granting adventures primarily, with anima being a second goal. I've unlocked a level 46 mission to upgrade my adventure campaign but all my people are at level 30, so I'm way behind. Next up, The Maw.  I got almost half a bar of reputation from the daily/weekly quests as well as picking up [Handling His Henchmen].  Perhaps more importantly, I built a Wormhole Generator: Shadowlands Why didn't I make one of these sooner?! It can telep...

I'm wasting an absolutely enormous amount of time flying between Oribus and Sinfall in Revendreth. Getting 10,000 anima to get the Oribus portal is my current top priority. I'm at 3,638 of 10,000 at the moment. Adventures are a good source of anima for me, but I need to balance pure anima runs with gaining more experience so I can unlock bigger rewards. I'm going to focus on doing the Bastion calling first, theen search for any and all +anima dailies to boost it further. It's a double battlegrounds week, with two weeklies requiring battlegrounds (and another for the weekly brawl) so I have a fair amount of PVP to play today. I lost a couple of battlegrounds (but picked up Four Square!) and then headed to the Maw with my wife to work on rep. After doing the dailies, I ended up heading into Torghast again to do the quest that unlocks twisting corridors. Holy crap those are difficult - the floor 18 boss almost wiped us. It's stupidly long as well - who has a spare thre...

 Off to Ardenweald today, as I have both "Training in Ardenweald" and "A Call to Ardenweald" as my callings. Although I planned to do daily quests, I ended up starting to do some of the quests for Sojourner of Ardenweald instead. I completed the first section of that before picking up a new pet (Gorn Harrier) from a dead body. One of my addons (Overachiever, I think), pointed out that the Tough Crowd daily quest had an achievement associated with it that I'd yet to complete. (Something's Not Quite Right...) According to Wowhead, the simplest way to get the achievement is to install the "idTip" addon and then check the NPCs for the id of "170080" Simple enough :) I started playing again after six pm, focusing on finishing my two covenants and then clearing out some adventures. I finally have a decent stable of adventurers and I'm working on the higher-level campaign quests now - the current one has a pet as a reward. Since I'm alre...

 I did a weekly LFR run to get an item from the cache next week, then did one of the Warlords timewalking dungeons for the 500 Timewarped Badges. Doing this led me to find two toys I'd yet to pick up, leading to the Toybox Tycoon (400 toys) achievement, which grants a new battle pet! I didn't have enough badges to collect the mount I'm missing from the same vendor - hopefully I'll get that next time. This morning, I went to finish up my Rajani rep and I collected a missing pet (Wild Crimson Hatchling) along the way. The rep was easy enough to get and netted me both The Rajani and (much more awesome) 100 Exalted Reputations! I camped The Forgotten (https://www.wowhead.com/npc=157176/the-forgotten#comments) for a bit, hoping for the pet but was disappointed again. I really hate rares that both have long respawn timers and low drop rates :( I did, however, manage to pick up a rare version of the Golden Chirper pet. This pet spawns in exactly one location in the vale at any...

 I took a break after launch to play the wonderful Cyberpunk 2077 and generally enjoy the holidays. I've gotten back into the game recently and am finding it fun so far. I think some of the campaign quests are a little too formulaic, with too many "collect 15 bear asses" variants but overall the xpac seems better than BFA. My main focus right now is on keeping myself somewhat competitive so that I can do mythics with guild members if it comes up. Having good gear also helps with regular questing; it's such a grind to do quests with low-end gear. Right now I'm focusing on doing all the campaign quests (I'm at 20 renown) and doing two high-level Torghasts each week, as well as LFR.

 I didn't get to play much yesterday - it took over three hours after 3pm PST just to get logged on. Into the Maw was my first Shadowlands achievement.  I'm now following the story quests. They seem decently written and tightly bound but very, very linear. There is almost zero feeling of player choice or agency here and everyone does exactly the same thing. Kyrian looks much the same as it did when I played it at Blizzcon over a year ago. It feels like Argus to me, albeit lighter. Fun zone. Really like the quests and the feel of the place. Good pacing, not too grindy. The Path To Ascension was next.

  Not much to say here. Ever since I got my legendary to rank four, I've mostly just been logging on to do my weekly renown quests, send out my adventurers and occasionally do a wing of LFR for the weekly reward, plus a little PVP if it's a Battlegrounds/ Epic Battlegrounds week. With Valor now out in the latest patch I'll likely do enough to upgrade my gear to a higher ilevel (190 at the moment) and probably work on some of my reputations again. I can't seem to bring myself to care about my Venthyr faction stuff like the stupid tea party quests. I think a lot of this is that without flying, travel times are enormous, especially because of the way that Oribus and our sanctums are so far apart from each other so my morning seems to always involve spending five minutes staring at the screen until I land at another flight point. I think the solution to all of this is for me to revisit some of the old content from last xpac and finish up my reps there to hit "100 Reput...
