10 More achievements and a lot of minor things

I busted out another 10 achievements yesterday. I leveled cooking to 325 to get the Gingerbread Cookie recipe for Treats For Greatfather Winter.

I did all the Argent Tournament dailies and in the process, fished from my first node for The Old Gnome and the Sea.

I ran a quick heroic at the behest of some guildies and picked up Don't Look Up. I also picked up Haunted Herring recipe which is part of a couple of achievments. I also picked up a solid MH fist for my enhance set.

My stuff finally arrived in the mail, so I did A Frosty Shake in Dalaran.

I did the fishing and cooking dailies in Shattrath, getting my fishing up to 245. My reward was Fish Don't Leave Footprints from a Weatherbeaten Journal. Tracking fish is eessential to many other fishing achievements so I'm glad I got this one.

I dinged exalted with Warsong Offensive while doing dailies.

I did a wintergrasp. We were on offense so after completing the weekly quests, I focused on trying to get kills in the less populated areas for Wintergrasp Ranger.

I followed this up with a 25 man Vault of Archaron althought I failed to get anything good then I ground my cooking to 350 and got Grand master Cook. Then I did the dalaran cooking daily (very easy) and got my first Dalaran Cooking Award.

I also picked up two new recipes from doing the cooking/fishing dailies this morning: Captain Rumsey's Lager and Skullfish Soup. I got the achievement for the lager.

I picked up the Kungaloosh recipe from Washed Up Mage and got Short Order Cook from this.

I also drank 25 different beverages for It's Happy Hour Somewhere.

I've been reading about the fishing achievements some more - it looks like the STV fishing tournament is going to be a huge pain in the ass to accomplish. I only have 51 attempts to get it this year and I'm sure I'll miss a few Sundays here and there. I'm going to use This Strategy as well as having a number of guild members help me out by killing allies and blocking bobbers. I'm on a PVP server so it's probably the only way to win.

Total Achievements: 319
Days to go: 359

 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 ...

[3,339 of 5,120] Pandaria Remix

 4/11/24: So I'm working on The World Awoken before it goes away in the next xpac. It's possible it won't go away but still, it's a good focusing mechanism. The longest one to get looks like it's going to be https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=16543/tetrachromancer#comments [Tetrachromancer] - people have done hundreds of hunts and not gotten all the colors. It looks like the strategy is to get class trials and do the weekly hunt with them to get purple bags, since those have a higher chance of dropping the colors (once weekly). 4/11/24: [Whose a Good Bakar?] This one took forever. I finally had it show up after a bunch of attempts. 4/12/24: [Puzzle Performer]! Finally! This one took forever but WQAchievements saved the day and let me know that it was up today. I also picked up [Adventurer of Thaldrassus]! [Longhunter] too! I picked up the Friendsurge Defenders toy and so now I can get the pet from the Emerald Dream! 4/13/24: Finished up the Eon's Fringe dailies...
