Working on Family Battler

I'm still working on the BFA meta-achievement Family Battler which involves beating 15 (of 19) different BFA pet trainers with a family of all undead, all mechanical etc. In total I need to win 150 different battles. I started doing this in a completely incorrect way, focusing first on getting "Hobbyist Aquarist" then on "Beast Mode" and so on. Don't do that. Instead, just fly to a trainer and do all ten pet families on that trainer, then fly to the next one. You don't need the world quest to be up either. I recommend skipping any fights that are especially difficult with a particular family and revisiting them at the very end if you absolutely need one more win from a trainer. Originally, I read wowhead for every boss and tried to find the correct comp listed in the suggestions. I no longer do that - the ten PVP teams I built for Family Brawler earlier in the month work fine for almost all of the NPC trainers as well so there is little need to create completely custom teams. I still have these PVP teams saved in Rematch, so the whole process of flying to a trainer, fighting with each team and moving on to the next is simplified. In terms of other pet battle achievements, I finally completed the "normal" version of the Westfall and Gnomergan pet dungeons. THESE QUESTS REWARD PORTALS TO THEIR LOCATIONS. I had no idea. After the horde portals were all removed, I found it tedious to get to the center of the Eastern Kingdoms but a portal straight to Westfall is just about perfect - especially because it exists in both (Legion) Dalaran AND Zandalar. Finally, I started grinding the last two Celestial Tournament pets I need. It takes three weeks per pet so it will be six weeks before I finish. The main issue I've found here is that a lot of the guides (e.g. on wowhead) have old information that no longer applies - something that is annoying to find out halfway through a no-heal scenario. Anyway, off to finish Family Battler, then I need to start working on the Legion variants - that means a lot more pet battles to come.

 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...
