Thorium Bortherhood and other old world reputations

All turnings for things like Thorium Brotherhood and other obscure reps (Timbermaw etc.) have been QUADRUPLED. This means you can get exalted with them for 22 lava/fiery cores and a direbrew remote to quickly port to BRD. I picked up the 10 cores I needed (I was revered) for less than 200g, making this one of the cheapest exalted's I ever got. I didn't need any of the exalted items - the revered already gave +22 int (best heirloom caster enchant) and strength to weapon.

Tuskarmageddon

I finally picked this one up. It's a slow grind because you can only gain 1500 rep per day and the rep required a bunch of travelling to far-off places. Still, you get a nice (epic) +30 fishing pole from it that also gives underwater breathing and a penguin pet. The fishing pole is something I've bee waiting a long time to pick up as it should help with fishing in cataclysm. I have a High-Eternium Line to add to it that I picked up from the fishing daily quests - it seemed a waste to use a +5 line on a crappy pole. Next up: I'm not sure actually. Certainly, I'm going to grind out the BC reps thatare grindable, and I really want to finish skyguard so that I can get my 100 mount achievement almost done, but I'm not sure what to work on next. It will almost certainly be somethign reputation-based, although I DO have a lot fo quests to re-do because of the changes from the Shattering that wiped out 1500 of my hard-earned quests :(

Outland Raider!

I finally found a magtherion group. I've never done this fight at 80. It's so, so much easier. You can ignore all the clicking mechanics and just burn him down. Took all of 2 minutes.

Pilgrim!

I've mostly been grinding out dailies that I don't want to have to run in Cataclysm (Kalu'ak etc.) but I took time to finish up the Pilgrim achievement. Some tips: 1. Getting the four alliance cities is much harder now that the guards are all 85. I wound up having to use an invisibility potion to get there. 2. Killing 40 turkeys isn't hard, you just need to give it a bit of time. Don't kill the next one right away - wait until there are 5 seconds left or so to kill it. This maximizes respawn time. 3. For the "kill a rogue of each race" one, try looking in BG's. Ever since they got rid of Dalaran as a portal area, the place is dead. Just sort the player list by class and go hunting for any dwarf rogues you can find.

So, what have I been doing?

Sorry it's taken so long for an update. I kind of stalled out after hitting 8000. It looks like all achievements in 16 more days probably won't happen, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying. I'm simply goign to turn it into "all achievements as quickly as possible". It also stung a little that all of the Kalimdor quests were reset! I lost at least 100 points right there. I'm going to start working on the new cataclysm achievements today, but first, I'll fill you in on what has been going on. Firstly, I've been making gold. Almost all of my time has been spent on gold generation. I have a nice little business on both the alliance and horde side factions selling Heirloom enchants to all the new rerollers that are coming in for cataclysm. I have over 100 of every low level scroll right now and I'm making a solid 4000g a day with 30 minutes work (after a LOT of fixed setup costs). In addition to the scrolls, I've been tradi...

Assumptions about Heirloom enchants

8000 points

Realistically, I think I'll get the "Over 9000" feat in the next 40 days and not much more, but I'll keep plugging away - perhaps I'll finally get a non-fail TOGC and Ulduar hardmode group together...
