[3,259 of 4,954] Another level 50 - Highmountain

 

 

1/30/24: I unlocked Old Stratholme!Unlocking the secret was actually a lot of fun - it FELT like something secret and hidden. I got vibes like the old Onyxia attunement quests which had a feeling of achivement behind them once complete - a new thing that you could do that others could not.

I'm going to unlock Naxx soon enough once my wife is ready. Actually, this is part of why it was fun - my wife and I played together, first farming the toy solo until one of us got it, then doing the work to unlock the old version of the dungeon. MMOs are supposed to be played as a group - who knew? :)

I also picked up a bunch of BFA Mythic raid achievements a couple of days ago. Not a lot to say here, other than some of them were tough to do with 2-3 total players. We hit some walls where some simply weren't possible with two people so I'll need to come back and do those later.

Right now I'm trying to decide between getting all the old dungeon achievements that I'm missing, just to finish them all off and working on something like professions for all my alts, none of which have unlocked Dragonflight yet.

[Honor Our Ancestors]! This one was easy enough except some of the wowhead items were wrong and I had to get new ones from the AH. The other big caveat is that you need a Fire-Blessed Greatsword which is pretty rare. I was lucky to get one for 2000g but apparently it sells for up to 100k. There were only two on the AH when I looked and the other was 30k.


2/3/24: [Toe Tension]! This is one of a few climbing achievements that I'm working on. The others take more time or need a second person to complete.

2/4/24: I've been working on getting a Highmountain Tauren to level 50. I found an excellent speedrun guide that told me to do all the quests in Silverpine Forest. The problem is that halfway through it's no longer possible to complete one of the quests: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=27401/what-tomorrow-brings The issue is that the new Gilneas update added walls around the telescope and there is no way to get in without flying. Very frustrating.



2/17/23: I picked up a Love Is In the Air achievement as well as finally hitting 50 on my Highmountain Monk. It was slow going - 13 hours to level up. I'm going to try guardian druid next for the fast queues in tank spec but first I need to learn how to tank :)

[3,126 of 4,647] The Shadows Revealed!

 8/7/23: I picked up the Duskytooth Snooter by repeatedly resetting the Mechagon instance 18 times until it spawned! Next I did some more Little Scales Daycare quests and picked up two more pets from it. 1464 total now. Now to use my Ultrasafe Transporter and head back to Mechagon to get the last two pets I need. The first of which, Specimen 97, looks like it should be easy enough to catch as it's supposed to be unique but always up. The last one I needed was Yellow Junkhopper. I took the advice on wowhead and made a macro to target it, then repeatedly exited and re-entered the Mechagon instance in order to eventually have one pop up. I think I did this thirteen times or so before it worked (lockout is at 10, so it took an extra hour) and now I finally have [Mecha-Safari]!  I went after the Shadowlands pets next. I was missing four, including Clutch which is semi-rare so I went after that one first. The rest were easy and so now I have [Shadowlands Safari]]! 8/8/23: I spent a bit o
 8/12/23: I finished three more Dragon Isles pet world quests for [Battle on the Dragon Isles II] - just one more to go! Next up, I have a whole bunch of trainers to do to get [An Awfully Big Adventure] - I'm going to start on this now but I have 20 more to do to get Trunks. 8/13/23: Mote Little Scales Daycare to start the day off. I'm nearing the end now - just one more whelp to go. 8/14/23: I finished all the Little Scales Daycare quests and now have [Hey Nanny, Nanny]]! 8/20/23: [Daycare Derby]! Good start to the day. 8/28/23: I started the day by doing the snail daily - just two more to go! Next, I worked on Lomen Niffen rep, trying to get 1500 for the weekly. 8/29/23: Logged in quickly before reset. I did a snail daily (one more to go!) and then defeated Adinakon in a pet battle to pick up [Battle on the Dragon Isles II]! 9/2/23: I worked on the 1500 Loamen Niffen rep for the weekly. It took a surprising number of world quests to get there. 9/3/23: I worked on Secrets of A

 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
