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:

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

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:

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]!
