Loremaster, oh how did I underestimate thee!

Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms is taking a long time due to the large amount of travel involved, however I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have 120 quests to go as of 1st March 2010 and accoprding to Everyquest, I have more than 30 quests still to do in the Hinterlands, WPL and EPL and more than 15 left in STV. Add in some dungeon quests and I should be able to finally finish up everything without too much travel within a few days. Happily, these quests are all nicely clumped together for the most part.

So, my new plan:

Hinterlands tonight.
WPL by Wednesday.
EPL by Friday.
Loremaster of EK by Saturday night. Including all exploration and dungeons.

Then Kalimdor, then all the outlands ones.


To keep myself on track, I added a counter to the top left of the screen. You should see it there now.

This is a little over 40 weeks.

Conservatively, I have about 10 hours a week to spend on this challenge, with another 8-10 available for raiding. This means I only have 400 hours to complete everything. My biggest worry is that this simply won't leave enough time for WSG and AB rep grinding. I'll probably have to semi-afk play these battlegrounds when taking the train to work and back. You know, just basecamp/ guard the farm or run with the zerg since my connection will suck otherwise.

 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 ...

 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...
