[2,731 of 3,900] Direhorn and exploration achievements

 I did my Direhorn dailies (1 more day to go!) and then decided to work on something different. Firing up my achievements list, I saw that I'd yet to kill the Whale Shark in Vashj'ir, so off I went. [From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee] was mine!


I felt like doing another "exploration" achievement and so spent a pleasant fifteen minutes in Nazmir frog hunting for [Hoppin' Sad]

 

For bonus points, I hunted for a couple of critters to /love.


Wednesday morning started with a jaunt to visit my Child of Torcali. After a fun questline, I've finally managed to pick up [How to Train Your Direhorn]!

Next, to Naz'jatar where once again I don't have a Stronge Oceanic Sediment to finish my quest. My last puzzle for [Puzzle Performer] is also missing, so I just did the bodyguard dailies.

I hung around at 9am for [Back to the Depths!] but it didn't spawn, even seven minutes later.

I headed over to Siltstalker the Packmother with the hope of spawning Banescale the Packfather on her death. Alas no luck.


Wednesday evening and I decided to head to Frostfire Ridge to see if I could get lucky for [Writing in the Snow] (it spawns in a random location occasionally). No luck but I managed to snag a couple of critters to /love for [To All the Squirrels Through Time and Space]. Or at least I thought I did - Frostfur Rat is bugged in exactly the same way that one of the BFA achievements is bugged (a gekkoka I think). Frustrating!

Deciding I want to do something completely different, I chose to start work on getting the secret Lucid Nightmare mount. Guide is here: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/lucid-nightmare-secret-mount

I just realized I can use my Wormhole Generator: Northrend to go straight to Storm Peaks - so useful!

I ended up getting stuck on the An'Quiraj puzzle and logged out, when I logged back in I was back at the entrance and so gave up.

I went to do the exploration quest [The Zandalari Prophecy] but realized I had some Shado-Pan dailies I could do along the way, making progress on several achievements. Once on the Isle of Thunder, I killed Molthor (a rare I needed) then finished [The Zandalari Prophecy] then [Rumbles of Thunder]. I then killed Progenitus (another rare) and /bowed to a Kroshik egg :)

Next up, [Gods and Monsters] was another quick one.

My current plan is to keep working on my multi-character stuff (just need the Death Knight campaign to finish all five, then I can work on professions) as well as picking up as many "easy" achievements as possible. I want to hit 2,900 of 3,900 as soon as possible because that way I only have 1000 more to go (until the next xpac :)

 8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!  

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 ...

[3,445 of 5,450] You Know How to Reach Me

 7/3/24: [Neltharion's Legacy] and [Legend of the Multiverse]! I picked this up from the weekly time vault. [Scroll Hunter]! This one I am happy to be done with. I thought it was going to be a lot harder - wowhead comments imply as much. In the end it probably took two hours of farming Froststone Vault with crystals. [Treasures of Thaldraszus]! 7/8/24: [Treasures of the Azure Span]! [Wake Me Up]! [Treasure Hunter of the Dragon Isles]! [Treasures of the Waking Shores]! I have no more treasures to find! This one promised to be a slog but actually was easy enough, I just picked up Disturbed Dirt and Expedition Packs while doing other things like hunts. 7/9/24: [Forbidden Spoils]! 7/11/24: [Hunt Master]! I finally figured out how hunts work and realized that they don't show up until you are actually in the zone. As a result I can finally work on [Disgruntled Hunter] [Under the Weather]! I just logged in every two hours and got all three I was missing in a row!   7/13/24: I've b...
