End of Shadowlands

 Some quick wins to start: I've resigned myself to not finishing the meta achievement, mostly because of the Necrolord quests that I simply can't finish in time. Surprisingly, the game is now fun again. I felt pretty down about playing because I hated the obvious time-sink nature of those quests in particular. A 20 second cooldown on an ability that needed to be clicked fifteen times for a single quest was just garbage. There was no gameplay there, just an intentional waste of player's time. I picked up an Ember Court achievement soon after, along with [Mush Appreciated] the following day. 11/23/22 - I'm three quests short for Abominable Lives at the moment. 11/24/22 - I've started clearing out my bags in preparation for the expansion. The first thing I needed to do was finish the Lil' Abom pet - I had all the parts bar the head, so I went to the Maw in search of it. Next stop, Korthia, both for the weekly and to try to close out as many achievements as possible...

[2,928 of 4,418] Into Dragonlands!

 9/21/22 - worked on Mush Appreciated. I need to remember to do this daily as it takes a month to get Exalted. 9/22/22 - [Death's Advance]! Rank 3 Abomination Factory and another construct quest. Mush Appreciated for the day. Then Ember Court. [Parasoling]! I picked up the Onyxian Drake (needed for the Drake achievement) from the BMAH for 230k! Ember Court - the bonus rep from Brewfest is amazing!  Maldraxxus - working on Wardrobe Makeover. There are SO many things to collect... 9/24/22 - Working on Night Fae anima to get transport network to level 3 Torghast PVP - epic and normal The Avowed timewalking timed M15 brewfest korthia weekly - trying to hit 5 of 6 this week. [A Sly Fox]! Korthia - hit 5 of 6, got extra Anima bonus. Night Fae upgrade transport network. Maldraxxus weekly quests. Ember court with 300% brewfest friendship gains! 10/16/22 - Lots of Mythic raids from the last two expansions. 10/17/22 - Working on getting 2500 more Anima so that I can unlock the rank 3 tr...

 9/14/22 - I started the day off working on the Necrolords campaign and gathering souls in the Maw. I believe I need the sanctum upgraded to level 5 so I'll need a whole lot of souls. [Re-Re-Re-Renown]! Aerial Advantage quest sucks. Totally not clear how the hook works. "invalid target" Finally, an interesting quest - being a skeletal hand to escape from a jail cell! [Dead Men Tell Some Tales]! This one snuck up on me - I was at 6 of 9 and then quickly it was over. Glad that grind is done :) 9/16/22 - Halls of Atonement for both rep and for Malleable Flesh (got 3) Korthia and ZM for the weekly plus anima for Necrolords Halls of atonement x2 9/17/22 - Theatre of Pain for a quest. Got the anima I needed to upgrade the abomination stitching yard to level 2. Ember Court is next. I picked up the Ember Court ambassador quest which requires me to do four world quests in each area to get the ambassador upgrade. Since The World Awaits is this week's weekly quest, now seems lik...

[2,879 of 4,126] - 25,220 points - Night Fae and random teleportation

  9/5/22 - Raids and gear 9/6/22 - Korthia and another elite, then ZM, then two more LFR bosses for my third coin 9/7/22 - [Sojourner of Bastion]! Ember Court and more quests for it ZM. I got the toy and (better) the portal upgrade from the paragon chest! The portal upgrade is still pretty useful given the number of things in ZM I still have to do. Zorthia dailies and the weekly. Timewalking x5. Picked up a 30 ilevel improvement for my gloves, giving me 274 ilevel! Night Fae after that. The Starlight Amphitheatre was pretty awesome. Here is me as a "horse". ZM to get some Anima More night fae questing And yet more 9/10/22 - DK Classic mount! This is a time-limited mount that you get for doing the WOLK Classic DK intro questline. It's amazing how much more difficult the game was back then simply due to a lack of good mapping. I honestly hated the experience. 9/11/22 - I found a Marzan group while trying to finish the weekly for ZM! [Dune Dominance]! This one achievement ha...

 8/30/22 - I logged in before reset but got little done. After reset I picked up a 272 weapon, then started working on the weekly LFR fated raid. I'm going to be doing some raiding or mythic runs later in the day, so I need to figure out some gear and a spec to use. Later, I set up for the Ember Court, getting [Rendle's Big Day] in the process!  After that, I did five Normal Fated bosses and then did the Ember Court, hitting Revered and unlocking the final options for some of the entertainments etc. Also, I've picked up enough new gear for seven ilevels today - I'm now at 267, which is almost good enough to start doing M15 runs. 8/31/22 - Korthia this morning. I picked up a rare that I badly needed (Ve'rayn) and then set out to work on the dailies. It didn't take long to finish them up and so I next went to do some housekeeping tasks and crafted a Deeptremor Stone legendary to improve my DPS. While I was there, I picked up [The Jailer's Gauntlet: Layer 1]! N...

 8/25/22 - I couldn't sleep and so decided to complete some simple quests instead. I happened to be in Revendreth with two Revendreth blue quests (3 world quests and 4, basically) and so started doing those, plus two "WANTED" quests I just happened to have in my log. I also picked up the toy "Tome of Small Sins" from the chest reward (3 attempts) :)  Next up: Korthia, to finally finish the weekly. Turning this in got me [The Ascended]! This also unlocked the mount, which I have no gold for because I bid on a BMAH mount earlier :( I also seem to need to get the Lurid Bloodtusk from the Undying Army quartermaster. Lacking gold is a pain in the ass. I used to have a profitable AH farm going on but these days I have an ever-dwindling supply of gold and no solid way to make it. I don't just want to buy WoW Tokens to get it, so it's probably time to start making money again. I did a quick Halls run for Avowed rep and tried to do a fated raid, only to zone in o...

[2,850 of 4,126] We Happy Few

 8/1/22 - Nighttime. I'm still in Maldraxxus. I've been working on the Treasures achievement, while also doing anything else that comes my way.  8/2/22 - Tuesday. Servers at still down at 1pm. The initial guidance said 11am, then noon, then 1pm. They are clearly doing quite a big upgrade of something. 8/6/22 - Yesterday, I finished off the weekly for The Enlightened - I'm likely to get exalted next week. After that, I worked on the Ember Court and did some nearby world quests (parasol and dredger race) that I needed to do ten of to get an achievement. Next, I took another crack at getting the "creeper" critter to /love for All the Squirrels... again and yet again I couldn't find it. It turns out, it's not actually called "creeper", despite the achievement text and I had to do "/tar murky" to tag it. This isn't the first (or second!) time I've had issues with these particular achievement types. Anyway, to do the Ember Court prope...

[2,846 of 4,126] Revendreth!

7/24/22 - I was only on part seven of nine of the previous campaign quests (the Korthica ones) so I headed to Torghast to complete A Paladin's Soul. Afterwords, I went to Bastion, to take part in some memories of Uther.  7/25/22 - I finished up [Chains of Domination] and finally got that questline off my list. Next, I found Maelle in Korthia for the first time then hearthed to Revendreth to unlock the fifth (and last) upgrade to my sanctum - I should get the achievement for this in 24 hours :) 7/26/22 - I picked up [Your Covenant's Flavor] and [Restoration Expert] upon logging in :) Soon after, I picked up [Trading Partners], giving me maxed out Ve'nari rep and access to the Rule 7 quest that I need to complete to finally unlock the Secret I mentioned earlier. After that, I headed to Venari's corpse. Now I guess I just need to wait five days to get the secret toy in the mail? 7/27/22 - Working on the weekly Patterns Within Patterns. I'm also realizing that I should ...
