[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. Info here: https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=17736/the-gift-of-cheese#comments I found that the best spot to farm rats is Shattrath, to the north, alternating war mode on and off. There is a cluster of ten or so rats there, making the achievement pretty simple. [The Gift of Cheese]! Oh, don't forget to summon Roland once you get him - he teaches two recipes if you don't have them.

With that, I'm 100% complete with Cooking achievements. On to some other profession stuff!


Next up, I went to work on the Enchanting achievements. The first one I need to do needs the Spectral Visage toy. I don't have it, which is weird because I have almost 550 toys, so I need to go to Arathi Highlands to find it. The coordinates on wowhead are only for Alliance but I found the Horde version and got the toy on my first attempt!

It turns out I needed to learn how to make the Scepter of Spectacle: Order and so had to turn in some Dragon Shards to get the Knowledge to do so. [Spectre of Spectacles]!


[Shattered Expectations] was next. Kind of easy but I needed two more enchanting knowledge and so had to go do a quest first.


I then set up AFK enchanting for an hour after buying 8000 Strange Dust to get [Enchantment I] [Enchantment II] [Enchantment III] [Enchantment IV]!

 

Next, I AFK crafted 4000 Solid Stone into Blasting Powder for [Dangerous Devices I] [Dangerous Devices II] [Dangerous Devices III] [Dangerous Devices IV]!


 [The Ub3r Spanner] was next - nice and easy :)

 

12/24/23: The other engineering profession achievements are a good bit harder than the enchanting ones. One of them looks like I need to craft forty different goggles, another is reaching level 20 of the Blingtron game and another is using the Zapthrottle Mote Extractor a bunch. I picked up [Chromatic Calibration: Ectoplasmic Specs] but my ADHD won't let me gather the mats for forty different goggles for some of the others right now.



12/25/23: Greatfather Winter!

12/26/23: [Portal to Everywhere]!

12/27/23: Taking a break for a bit. I went to Nazjatar to work on some achievements and just got disgusted at how many of them were "kill this one thing for hours and hope a rare spawns". No skill just a huge timesink. My ADHD refuses to let me do boring stuff like this over and over again so after about an hour of killing critters waiting for a pet to spawn, I was done.

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 ...
