[2,859 of 4,126] - 25,035 points - Bastion

 8/25/22 - I couldn't sleep and so decided to complete some simple quests instead. I happened to be in Revendreth with two Revendreth blue quests (3 world quests and 4, basically) and so started doing those, plus two "WANTED" quests I just happened to have in my log. I also picked up the toy "Tome of Small Sins" from the chest reward (3 attempts) :)  Next up: Korthia, to finally finish the weekly. Turning this in got me [The Ascended]! This also unlocked the mount, which I have no gold for because I bid on a BMAH mount earlier :( I also seem to need to get the Lurid Bloodtusk from the Undying Army quartermaster. Lacking gold is a pain in the ass. I used to have a profitable AH farm going on but these days I have an ever-dwindling supply of gold and no solid way to make it. I don't just want to buy WoW Tokens to get it, so it's probably time to start making money again. I did a quick Halls run for Avowed rep and tried to do a fated raid, only to zone in o...

[2,850 of 4,126] We Happy Few

 8/1/22 - Nighttime. I'm still in Maldraxxus. I've been working on the Treasures achievement, while also doing anything else that comes my way.  8/2/22 - Tuesday. Servers at still down at 1pm. The initial guidance said 11am, then noon, then 1pm. They are clearly doing quite a big upgrade of something. 8/6/22 - Yesterday, I finished off the weekly for The Enlightened - I'm likely to get exalted next week. After that, I worked on the Ember Court and did some nearby world quests (parasol and dredger race) that I needed to do ten of to get an achievement. Next, I took another crack at getting the "creeper" critter to /love for All the Squirrels... again and yet again I couldn't find it. It turns out, it's not actually called "creeper", despite the achievement text and I had to do "/tar murky" to tag it. This isn't the first (or second!) time I've had issues with these particular achievement types. Anyway, to do the Ember Court prope...

[2,846 of 4,126] Revendreth!

7/24/22 - I was only on part seven of nine of the previous campaign quests (the Korthica ones) so I headed to Torghast to complete A Paladin's Soul. Afterwords, I went to Bastion, to take part in some memories of Uther.  7/25/22 - I finished up [Chains of Domination] and finally got that questline off my list. Next, I found Maelle in Korthia for the first time then hearthed to Revendreth to unlock the fifth (and last) upgrade to my sanctum - I should get the achievement for this in 24 hours :) 7/26/22 - I picked up [Your Covenant's Flavor] and [Restoration Expert] upon logging in :) Soon after, I picked up [Trading Partners], giving me maxed out Ve'nari rep and access to the Rule 7 quest that I need to complete to finally unlock the Secret I mentioned earlier. After that, I headed to Venari's corpse. Now I guess I just need to wait five days to get the secret toy in the mail? 7/27/22 - Working on the weekly Patterns Within Patterns. I'm also realizing that I should ...

[2,839 of 4,126] Zereth Mortis and Revendreth

 7/15/22 - I've been on vacation for most of a month. I picked up [The World Beyond] (100 different Shadowlands world quests) while working on my weekly Enlightened rep. I also picked up [Explore the Maw] after I noticed I still was missing an area.  7/17/22 - I looked up how to spawn Helmix (the last rare that I need for [Adventurer of Zereth Mortis]) and learned that to spawn, you need to kill a bunch of Annelid Mudborers. I took the Wowhead advice and looked for a group with "ix" in the name and immediately found one, making the whole thing go much faster. I estimate we killed 200 of the buggers before it spawned but at least I got a bunch of mats for the various pets. Oh, and I got Adventurer! 7/18/22 - I'm back working on the Zereth Mortis achievements. Most are almost complete. I created another pet (3/5 for [Synthe-fived!]) and I'm realizing that I need an absolutely enormous number of Genesis Mote to get all fifty mounts and pets. It looks like I still hav...

[2,830 of 4,126] Zereth Mortis Mostly

Monday Evening (May 30 2020): I'm starting to work on [Traversing the Spheres]. I picked up several of the items but it looks like others are quite grind/RNG dependent. Tuesday Morning: Before the weekly downtime (until 3pm!). I picked up another particularly well-hidden schematic, did the spheres quest for Firim and managed to get to the General in time to kill him - this was one of the ones I still needed for [Adventurer of Zereth Mortis] Looking through All The Things! I noticed that I just need the Wicked Pocopoc costume to finish that achievement. I'm using the guide here to get all the items: https://www.wowhead.com/item=190062/wicked-pocopoc#comments I got the Kismetric Circlet from the first attempt in the second location for Trace Enigmet! The other items I've managed to gradually pick up by tapping a large number of pheres. One trick: you have to FACE the sphere. That's why standing on top of it often doesn't work. All in all, it took me about 25 minutes t...

[2,825 of 4,078] Lots more Zereth Mortis stuff

 Tuesday, May 24, 2022: I get a 265 shoulders from my weekly chest and a +10 key. I could have taken the 239 gloves for my 4-piece instead but I plan on handling that later this week, and ilevel is more important. My week long Zereth Mortis research has finally completed and so I can unlock the Architect questline to be able to craft mounts. I picked up the Makaris's Satchel of Mines toy on the first attempt. Wednesday: I unlocked the protoform forge and crafted my first mount, (giving me [Synthesized]) then went around collecting schematics I'd not been able to pick up yet, while also working on Patterns Within Patters to get my Enlightened rep to revered. As part of this, I fought Antros for the week and clicked on one of the orbs, giving me [Cosmic Empowerment]. Friday: Finishing up some world quests to complete Patterns Within Patterns. I also finished another small quesline in Zereth Mortis that I was unaware I still needed and I picked up another two schematics. I'm ...

[2,821 of 4,078] Sanctum Superior, I Guess

I haven't done many mythics recently but I'm still playing the game. Right now, I'm working on various Zereth Mortis achievements, starting with the Treasures of Zereth Mortis - https://ptr.wowhead.com/achievement=15331/treasures-of-zereth-mortis#comments I'm skipping the ones that take a lot of time, like the 1% drop rate key that I need to farm elites for. I'll work on that later, with a group. I've largely skipped the Protoform Synthesis stuff so far and so I'm way behind with those. It looks like the main achievement here is to craft 50 (!) unique (!) beings, so this one is going to take a while. I'm following the guide here: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/protoform-synthesis-crafting-system-mounts-pets-zereth-mortis It's super frustrating that so much stuff is locked behind a week-long research task. I wish I'd realized this earlier. Now I have to wait five and a half days just to unlock the ability to START to gather the mats to craft a mou...
