[2,769 of 3,980] Pandaria Scenarios and More

 Monday morning: at a loss for what to work on next, I simply grabbed the next item in the achievements UI - Wyrmrest Temple. I picked up [Rapid Defense] without many issues other than Bartender4 and the WoW vehicle UI conflicting.

Since I was here, I headed down to the pet tamer to work on my Elekk Plushie achievement.

I'm skipping the Frenzyheart until I get my Green Proto Drake from the Oracles' egg (pick one up every three days via the Northrend engineering wormhole), so next on my list is Deepholm for the "Glop, son of Glop" quest. Or it would be, except it doesn't seem to be up today, dammit. Perhaps Lost in the Deeps is up instead?

It wasn't. Alas. Fungal Fury was also not up. Maybe Restless Brood? Nope.

Tuesday morning and I can't play because 9.1 is coming out.

Over the next few days I do all the main quests to unlock being able to use a mount (so much for the one I unlocked already...) as well as all the dailies and the "assault". The new content is fine but not especially interesting - there is almost nothing new in all of it other than more timegated grinds.

Bored already (and it's only Friday), I decided to look at doing some Pandaria scenarios since I have a ton of those left to complete.

First, I needed to figure out how to even start these old scenarios. It's been a long time. It turns out you need to go to Mogu'shan palace then talk to Lorewalker Fu and Lorewalker Shin.

[Cannonballer] was easy enough, as was [I Used to Love Them] and [We've Been Dancin'] - just keep queuing until the right person shows up.

[It's a Trap!} may have been one of the easiest achievements to get ever - I got it accidentally while doing the Crypt. [Fancy Footwork] and both [Crypt of Forgotten Kings] and [Heroic: Crypt of Forgotten Kings] only took a few more moments.

Greenstone Village gave me [Perfect Delivery], [Save it for Later] and (because it was a Saturday) [Scenaturday]

[Hekima's Heart Halter] and [Heroic: Blood in the Snow] took only a few minutes and then it was on to [Heroic: Dark Heart of Pandaria]

[The Few, the Proud, the Gob Squad], [The Secrets of Ragefire] and [Heroic: The Secrets of Ragefire] took under ten minutes. This is easily the simplest set of achievements I've ever attempted :)

[Keep those Bombs Away], [Battle on the High Seas] and [Heroic: Battle on the High Seas] also took about ten minutes. Why didn't I do all these sooner?

[For the Swarm] was another easy one. Interestingly, the achievement toast seems different to most of the others I've seen.

[Heed the Weed] was difficult until I checked wowhead for the instructions, then it was trivial - just go to the waypoints and finish the achievement. Like the others, the toast for this achievement is in the old style which is marginally interesting.

Sunday morning: [No Egg Left Behind] and [You Mean That Wasn't a Void Zone?] followed by [Kite Fight] and [No Tank You].

I have about six left, all of them require more thought than I want to use before coffee. 

As for the rest, I mostly did Korthia dailies, giving me [Exploring Korthia]


and another quick Dragon Soul run for my wife (picked up most of the armor set for that zone).

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 ...

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

It probably won't make it to live. But check out this feat of strength from the beta:

A Song of Wind and Water

I've been working on Oracles and Ogri'la rep every day and have about four days to go. One thing I've noticed about these older daily quests is that there is little provision for high-level players that one-shot everything. Two quests in particular stand out as being annoying until you learn the high-level trick. The first is Banish More Demons in Blade's Edge. This involves placing a portal on the ground then killing demons within a few feet of the portal. The portal has a one-minute cooldown and you need fifteen demons. It was a slow exercise in frustration because kiting further-away demons was difficult sue to all my abilities one-shotting them before they got near. In the end, I learned to use the Shaman's "Purge" ability to aggro mobs without killing them and pull them close to the portal. The second, and more annoying, quest that isn't scaled for high-level players is the Ogri-la's Song of Wind and Water .  This involves weakening ...
