Exalted with The Defilers, Squirt Day was a bust and lots of Marks of Honor

I've played about twenty five matches of Comp Stomp and I'm now Exalted with The Defilers (thanks to the DMF buff and the 15% bonus from the current event). I honestly thought this would take forever to get so now I have hope for the WSG version.

Super Squirt Day was a bit of a bust. I didn't have a lot of time and I HATED the repetitive grind so I only got ten pets to level 25.

All that winning of Arathi Basin got me something in the region of 120 Mark of Honor though - I picked up around ten different sets of PVP armor, which gave me 100 achievement points, plus a further ten from the meta-achievement.

As I'm looking at this, it's clear that I have a lot of old dungeons to farm. My current plan is to do this with a RAF friend or three to maximize the number of rolls I can get for the tier gear.

Speaking of RAF - I really want to do it for the rewards soon. More importantly, I just recently learned that things like pets and (most important) honor are shared between all the accounts tied to the same Blizzard account. This means you could join, say, an AV (like the one currently ongoing) with five accounts and get crazy honor from them. I'm seriously considering buying a few extra monitors and playing 4-5 accounts on the same machine if this is a viable thing to do.

Finally, I did my usual MC run for Hydraxian Waterlords rep and I ran Firelands for the Avengers of Hyjal rep. These two, plus Throne of Thunder are the main reps I still need to pick up for 100. Hydraxian Waterlords is going to take many more weeks, even with the DMF bonus, the 15% bonus and a guild banner for an extra 15% (plus 10% and 5% on other pulls with the three different guild banners).

My plan for today is to run Throne of Thunder for the rep, then to dig into how multiboxing works in practice, then set up RAF for at least one account and start to level up the allied races that I need for the max-level achievements.

 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...
