20,000 Achievement Points!

It's slowly getting there! I mostly ignore achievement points in and of themselves because there are a whole bunch of "easy" points that are ultimately not worth getting until it's time to focus on them. As an example, I have a bunch of unused Mark of Honor that I can trade in for several season's worth of PVP transmog sets but I've yet to do so becauseit's not something I am focused on right now, as well as because I may already have purchased the majority of the items in the set (and so it would be wasteful to buy a full set). Right now, I'm slowly grinding out all the pet achievements as well as doing the Tortollan and Talanji's Expedition emissary quests when they pop up to finish off my rep. I'm also nearly finished the twenty-day grind to get the Venomhide Ravasaur mount, which involves going to Un'goro Crater every day. The other grind that I'm getting close to finishing up are the four Legion PVP achievements for Free For All, More For Me I usually teleport to Dalaran a couple of times a day and do whichever one is up. I should really do the pet achievements in those zones at the same time but I can never remember which ones are actually needed for each achievement.
Achievement tracking in the wow UI is enormously better than it used to be and having them up as a daily reminder to check them has helped me stay on task. One thing that I just noticed as I was looking at the "Free For All..." criteria is that there are now a bunch of BoA achievements for War Mode. This is a bit concerning as it means I'll likely need to get them done sooner rather than later to avoid the problems with zero people around to do war mode with. Time for me to get a PVP set and practice? I'd happily practice PVP but Shamans are by far better at being Resto than Elemental (my current spec) for PVP, yet the achievements seem to require me to be in a DPS spec to actually kill enough people to finish the achievement. Ho hum.

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

 7/21/23: I started the day with some quests from the dragon hatchery and for Chromie. The Chromie one was fun - she turned me into a quest giver and had me hand out quests. After that, I did the Tempo quests near Chromie and picked up a cosmetic shades in the process. Next, I worked on the Daycare questline. I now have to wait until tomorrow before continuing. lAfter that, I worked on Loamen Niffen rep to get the 1500 for the weekly. The first quest I did however was for a 405 bracer that I upgraded to 411. (afternoon) I just learned that I can buy Vault keys for 50 Dragonscale Supplies each! [Every Door, Everywhere, All at Once] is mine! I also picked up An Odd Round Object, which is an item I needed to continue the "story" questline from Voraxian (this is an achievement I was working on a few days ago). 7/22/23: I noticed that Old Hatreds' mob was no longer evade bugged and so finally finished that questline, getting [A New Beginning]! Next up, Little Scales Daycare fo
