The goal: Complete every single WoW achievement before 11th December 2010

I've played World of Warcraft on and off since beta, although not always with the same account.

I came back to the game yesterday due to two things: the 3.3 patch with new content and reading the following news story:

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/12/world-of-warcraft-achievement/

In a quest to find out how difficult it actually is to achieve what this guy achieved, I've decided to complete every single achievement in the game (including all the new 3.3 achievements) in a year.

Why a year? Mostly it's because I've never done a single Holiday quest and so it will take a full year to complete everything. My goal is to find out just how difficult it is to beat the entire game.

I am a level 80 Orc Resto shaman. This character is relatively fresh, with less than 40 days /played in total and I have never seriously attempted to get any achievements. The Only ones that I currently have are some random ones that were picked up along the way.

Current achievements: 275/1054 (2890 points)

Current ranking: Unknown - I'm so far behind the leader that I am not listed on http://www.sk-gaming.com/achievement/

Days to go: 365

 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...
