[3,209 of 4,917] 28,000 points and a bunch of profession achievements

 11/30/23: I picked up [Emerald Dream Glyph Hunter] yesterday. Today I'm working on building a Timewalking set to make the mage tower achievements easier. 12/22/23: I decided to do something completely different and worked on the Furbold language achievement instead. It's a simple grind, taking about half an hour to complete - just kill Scouts and Guardians that spawn regularly and they almost always drop a lot of artifacts. Having to click the NPC questgiver 400 times was a bit annoying though. [Winterpelt Conversationalist]! I also did the Furbolg quests and got Exalted with the Winterpelt! This led me to picking up the last recipe I needed for [Showoff Chef]! I also did the monthly Trading Post, picking up a new pet in the process. Greatfather Winter gave me Festive Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle! Next up, I found the elusive Recipe Rat and worked on the cooking achievement to get his recipe and feed fifty rats. It's more involved than it sounds but it rewards a pet. Inf...

 9/16/23: 1500 Loamm rep. 9/17/23: PVP pet battles and the A Single Wing questline then the campaign questline that involves Chromie. 9/24/23: Started on An Awfully Big Adventure. 20 to go! I started with Blington 4000 in the celestial tournament, only to discover he wasn't up today.  10/23/23: Long break. I got bored of logging in and doing the weekly then stopping. Back at it today. [Proof of Myrrit]]!  10/25/23: I worked on Hallows End achievements as well as the monthly. I also picked up the 1500 Loamenn rep quest for the week. I also AFK picked up [Still Standing In the Fire]! 10/26/23: [Tricks and Treats of the Dragon Isles]!   10/27/23: I did the Headless Horseman with all four curses and picked up [Kickin' With the Wick]! I also finished my monthly Adventure Guide quests and got the broomstick mount! Next up: Rumble coins. 11/17/23: [Super Duper Bloom] and [Incarnate's Wake]! Also the rumble coins are bugged - I'm going to retry to see if I can get the last c...
 8/12/23: I finished three more Dragon Isles pet world quests for [Battle on the Dragon Isles II] - just one more to go! Next up, I have a whole bunch of trainers to do to get [An Awfully Big Adventure] - I'm going to start on this now but I have 20 more to do to get Trunks. 8/13/23: Mote Little Scales Daycare to start the day off. I'm nearing the end now - just one more whelp to go. 8/14/23: I finished all the Little Scales Daycare quests and now have [Hey Nanny, Nanny]]! 8/20/23: [Daycare Derby]! Good start to the day. 8/28/23: I started the day by doing the snail daily - just two more to go! Next, I worked on Lomen Niffen rep, trying to get 1500 for the weekly. 8/29/23: Logged in quickly before reset. I did a snail daily (one more to go!) and then defeated Adinakon in a pet battle to pick up [Battle on the Dragon Isles II]! 9/2/23: I worked on the 1500 Loamen Niffen rep for the weekly. It took a surprising number of world quests to get there. 9/3/23: I worked on Secrets of A...

[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 ...

[3,121 of 4,647] Pets and stuff

8/4/23: I started the day at Little Scales Daycare. I baked a pie a played tag and generally did things unrelated to warcraft. Next up, I headed to the snail races for my daily. I always dislike this one a bit - it's too far out of the way and the quests all take a long time for a minimal 100 rep. [Zaralek Cavern Safari]! I only needed Slabwing and found one as soon as I started looking. [Battle on the Dragon Isles]! I got lucky where the two quests that I still had to do for this one were both up today.  I also finished up a pet quest for the Zaraleth Caverns achievement. Moving forward, I'm thinking about trying to complete ALL of the pet achievements rather than doing them piecemeal. There are a LOT of Family Battler ones that need specific pets, so this is quite an undertaking. I generally have most of the required pets (1450ish unique pets) but most are not level 25 so I really need to level them up with Super Squirt Day and the like. (Next Super Squirt Day is in 42 days)....

[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]! Next up, Little Scales Daycare fo...

[3,111 of 4,646] Lucky Penny!

 7/12/23: [Verified Rifter] - I still dislike the zerg mechanic with this one, you need to be ready immediately at the ten minute mark as the boss dies so fast. 7/15/23: Another Snail saily for a measly 100 rep. This one involved all four main zones. [One of Everything, Please] was next. I thought the Creche Crowler giving you wings was a pretty fun easter egg. Next, I joined a BG to counteract the effects of the Forbidden Flounder and managed to eat the whole thing without dying, gaining [Me Want Bite] (and a 1-hour debuff :) We won the BG too :) 7/16/23: [Ancient Stones of Thaldrassus] fairly simple, just fly to the waypoints and click stuff. [Ancient Stones of Azure Span]] took about another ten minutes. It's probably worth taking the time to reiterate my strategy: I'm trying to get all the solo achievements first, then I'll work on group stuff, saving the most difficult ones (mythic raids and High Warlord) for a particular "push" season once I've done ever...
 7/8/23: [Zaralek Cavern Glyph Hunter] An easy one today. Next up, more pet battles. 7/9/23:  [Neltharion's Shadow]] [Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible]] [Fury of Giants]] Yeah, so I finally did LFR :) I also finished the 1400 points for the monthly mount reward. 7/10/23: Looking for things to do, I decided that snail racing was the sort of pace I was looking for.  I took part in the weightlifting competition. Holy shit this one was boring. Snail racing: I bought treats for Roggy, supposedly the hardest one to win with. I won. Just one more for the achievement now.  After that, I won my last race, despite an Alliance player being ahead of me almost the whole time - his snail got attacked near the end and mine won because of it. Next up, I worked on the 400 mount achievement. I'm on 395 right now so I headed over to simplearmory.com to try to find some easy ones. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=190892/zonwogi#comments stood out - all I needed were 3x20 AH foods and I get the...
