Nightfallen Exalted and Full Discography!

Full Discography might seem like a weird achievement to get excited about, but fuck Gurubashi Arena.

I actually ended up getting REALLY lucky.  I thought this was going to be one of those futile achievements.  I ended up running down around 2:30, only to find a good 8 people already camping for it. Great.  I went and did some other RL stuff (internet cut out) and when the internet came back on at 2:50, I figured, WTH, I'm already up at 3am, the worst that's gonna happen is I'm going to get steamrolled and figure out that I'm going to have to pay a raid of 40 to help me get it.

So the guy drops the chest, and I don't even bother to try to go after all the other people.  I just try to loot the chest while everyone else is at each other's throats, except there is one druid moon firing me.  Luckily I'm disc, so I just bubble, and try to loot again, moon fire, repeat cyclone, repeat, moon fire, repeat.  Then, another hunter pops up beside me, half dead, and starts looting the chest.  Druid decides to moon fire hunter first, and BING, open chest!

I learned my Angelic Music roll, dinged my achievement, and GTFO of there!  Talk about huge adrenaline rush and relief!

So, the moral is, even if you think an achievement is going to be a huge pain in the ass, just go for it.  You might just get it done.  So relieved that only took one day.

Other than that, I got Nightfallen Exalted.  Its nice to have one set of world quests crossed off the list to worry about (though, I do end up doing them for the rewards anyway.) I do need to figure out a game plan for finishing up my daily quest achievements, since they seem to be going by the wayside.

I've also outgeared my class hall gear and bought my double legendary research for my whole 0 legendaries, so I've also lost the need for mass class hall resources, so that frees up a lot of farming time as well.

Anyway, here's a pile of achievements.  I've been maintaining my surplus, which is nice because I've had a few days when I've been feeling burnt-outish, so I don't log on everyday.  But, mount drought, unfortunately, continues.

Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake!

Well, I didn't farm it from Stonecore, but I snagged it off of the BMAH.  So, kind of cheating, but I did grind up the 200,000g for it, so I guess I still farmed it in a way. I was actually surprised it went for so cheap, but other people probably figured "She's outta her damn mind, its farmable!"

Very true, but I am honestly glad that is not a farm I have to do anymore.  It probably would have been maddening, and I actually did farm it for a couple days.  Constant resetting until you're out of instances is pretty boring.  Plus, I still have to do it for Stratholme and Baron Rivendaire's mount, so I'm glad to only have one of those types of grinds to go.  (Unless the BMAH wants to be generous again.)  So I'm not rolling in more mounts, but I'm pretty ecstatic with what I got.

That said, I'm pretty discouraged by how far away I am from Mountacular.  231/250.  Lots of people already have their 300 mount achievement, so I feel way behind the curve.  It doesn't help I've been slacking off on weekly raid runs and old school dailies since I've had so much to do this expansion.  And I haven't been leveling alts like I wanted to.  I've been mostly focused on world quests and working on gear and professions.  But, there's no reason not to focus on current content before the content drought hits I suppose, I haven't been on 'cutting edge' of an expansion in a while.  (Didn't play at the beginning of MoP or WoD.)

Anywhoo, I've really slacked on updating my achievements.  I have a whole list of them, and still in the negatives.  (But doing the math week to week sucks when I skip weeks, I need to stop it.)
