[3,111 of 4,646] Lucky Penny!

 7/12/23:


[Verified Rifter] - I still dislike the zerg mechanic with this one, you need to be ready immediately at the ten minute mark as the boss dies so fast.

7/15/23: Another Snail saily for a measly 100 rep. This one involved all four main zones.

[One of Everything, Please] was next. I thought the Creche Crowler giving you wings was a pretty fun easter egg.


Next, I joined a BG to counteract the effects of the Forbidden Flounder and managed to eat the whole thing without dying, gaining [Me Want Bite] (and a 1-hour debuff :) We won the BG too :)

7/16/23: [Ancient Stones of Thaldrassus] fairly simple, just fly to the waypoints and click stuff.

[Ancient Stones of Azure Span]] took about another ten minutes.

It's probably worth taking the time to reiterate my strategy: I'm trying to get all the solo achievements first, then I'll work on group stuff, saving the most difficult ones (mythic raids and High Warlord) for a particular "push" season once I've done everything else.

[Ancient Stones of Ohn'haran Plains] was next. Another easy ten minute achievement.

[Ancient Stones of the Waking Shores] had one stone that was tricky to get to - underground in a mob-filled area - but as soon as I got it, I also got [Ancient Stones of the Dragon Isles]]! Not bad - 1 hours work for five achievements :)

 



7/17/23: I started the day trying to complete a quest that was still evade bugged. frustrating. Then I went to buy 50 boxes of rocks for [Many Boxes, Many Rockses] - these are on a 15 minute timer so it will be a while before I've opened them all.

Next up, [Lucky Penny] - this one is a fun easter egg. If you scroll to the very end of your adventure guide, you get a button that says "free money" that gives you a copper and this achievement.

After that I worked on [All Sides of the Story] - this set of quests takes six weeks to complete and I'm only on week two. I'm also a few weeks in to Tarjin the Blind - the part that takes six weeks. For this, I need to farm five dragon skulls each week.

I also did more of the Veritizstraz questline. The next bit requires an Odd Round Object from the vaults. It's been a while since I did any vaults and I need to get the 40 key achievement anyway so maybe I'll do that next.

I grabbed some more Tuskarr rep as the soup was up, hitting Renown 24 (one away from two mouints!).

After that, I discovered the breadcrumb quest to the time rift area and did the Chromie daily and some quests that gave me a pet.

 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...
