Underachiever: Every WoW Achievement

My current "meta goal" is to get 300 mounts. This includes getting essentially all of the achievements that include a mount (since I'll need to get those eventually anyway). One of these sub-achievements is to collect 300 toys, which again means that I need to get every achievement that awards a toy for similar reasons to the above. It just so happens that a bunch of professions have a whole crapton of toys that can be created that are Bind On Pickup. Since there is an achievement to obtain 800 skill in every single profession, this implies that I'd need a much of alts to get all of the professions. There is another achievement for hitting 110 on five different characters and, well, hopefully you see how a simple-seeming achievement like "obtain 300 mounts" can cascade into a mess of sub-achievements. Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that I have been grinding alts to 110 in order to max out their professions (a lot of the profession quests require lev...

Despite the fact that my previous post was four years ago, I still think this thing is doable. I've spent the last few weeks playing around two hours a day and slowly picking up a whole bunch of the easier stuff that I'd missed in the past. Given the way the wow expansions work, my plan has always been: 0. Priority zero is to grab any achievement (or part thereof) that is time-limited and will likely never re-occur. 1. Complete almost all of the soloable/small group content that I possibly can, including almost all of the old raid achievements. 2. When the new xpac hits (8.0), try to get every PVP achievement finished fairly early (season one or two) 3. Complete the solo/ small group content when not doing PVP. 4. Finally, at the very end of the xpac, right before 9.0, finish the very hardest Mythic raid achievements. It's worth noting that I consider anything in-game to be valid. I have no problem paying gold for power-levelling or quick runs or even specific help (hir...

I've decided to give the "get all achievements" thing another shot. I sat down and made a list of the most difficult wow achievements (in terms of time). Some are "difficult" because they take 30+ weeks to complete (like conquest points) and others are difficult because even through they are theoretically uncapped, the amount of time required is ridiculous. In no particular order, the "big" achievements that take months: 1. Quintissential Quintet (5 level 90's) (1 on alliance side - need all the levelling help I can get - DK + RAF + all heirloom gear + rested XP + monk). 2. We're going to need more saddles (150 mounts) 3. 100,000 Daily quests complete (Account wide) 4. Bloody Rare, Frosbitten, Glorious - just because of sheer number of rares needed 5. 250,000 Honerable kills (account wide) 6. 50,000 Conquest points (single character - need to do BG's to hit cap for around 30 weeks) 7. The rated BG + Arena ones (e.g. 2400 points and gladi...

I am finally, after well over a year, finished with all of the world event achievements. The Mask Task has gone from being a horrible, horrible grind to something that was fun to finish up. Don't forget about the 150 token pet that you can buy for your pet achievement! This Hallow's End should see you pick up two more pets for your 150 pets achievement.

The worst RNG achievement ever, A Mask for All Occasions, is becoming less RNG-oriented. It looks like, starting tomorrow, we can buy the masks we were missing with Tricky Treat tokens. Same goes for any pets you may have missed. Awesome!

20 measly achievement points for getting 5 grindy reps to exalted. It doesn't really seem worth it :) All 5 are a grind and I suggest getting a friend or three to power through all the heroics. My biggest complaint was KoT where, aside from two dungeon quests, all the rep needs to come from a pair of very slow dungeons, neither of which can be mass-pulled. Having the signet ring of the kirin tor achievement from earlier made this a little easier - port to Dalaran and then port to Tanaris from there.  I'm glad these are over with. In other news, I've started doing the Molten Front quests and achievements in earnest as well as finishing up my cooking - I need 6 more recipes for the 200 total. Flying to TB every day to check the daily is tiresome too :) Finally, I've started grinding archaeology. Not much to say here, you all know how long it takes. Blah.
