[2238 of 3346] Mechagon spare parts farming

Over the last few days I've been working on my gear, including doing the occasional sim and spending a bit of time working out what the best talents/ gear/ corruption / azerite essences and so on are. One of the things I've needed to do is to is get rank three in each of my four essences that I'm using for Mythic+ - Blood of the Enemy, Purification Protocol, Breath of the Dying and Essence of the Focusing Iris.

In order to get rank 3 Purification protocol, I ended up having to farm 20 S.P.A.R.E. Crate's, which meant joining a Mechagon "spare parts" farming group. I'd never seen the need to do this before but I'm glad that I did. The whole thing was super-efficient, with me just spamming AOE for an hour while others tagged and pulled mobs to the group. Importantly, they use the weather control tower nearby to change the weather to "raining" so that the mobs also have much lower HP, something I didn't think about doing before.

I ended up with an enormous quantity of the recycling components (e.g. Hardened Spring). I originally planned on selling these for around 12g per item on the AH (which is an insanely good price) but then realized that they were needed to unlock several of the sub-achievements on Mechagon. As a result, I turned in probably thirty recycling crates and picked up a bunch of music scrolls and paint colors and the like. I definitely need to come back here again to finish up all of these half-finished achievements.

More generally, I wish I'd taken the time to learn all of these systems earlier. There is so much to the game that I feel I've been missing, like how all of the different corruption and essence systems work, how to use titan residium properly, how the rare spawns in mechagon work and so on. In my quest for "efficiency", I'd ignored learning about a lot of these systems, assuming I'd just learn them later when it was older content if I needed to but I see now that that was a mistake. Not only was I missing out on having much better gear (which makes EVERYTHING simpler), but I was missing out on a lot of the fun of the game - doing current content with other people.

Anyway, my current primary goal is to gear up to the point that I can finish the missing M15 keys I need for the mount that is going away in the pre-patch. I'd also like to hit rank 8 in the brawler's guild since I'm already halfway there anyway and it would be nice to get the feat of strength before it goes away (I already have the Bruce mount, which was a really fun questline).

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]!
