Atheren's Gaming Goals for World of Warcraft October 2024

 

Get Sojourner of Hallowfall

Atherne has all of the major achievements except Sojourner of Hallowfall.  There are two time gated quest sequences, as in a week between them when you'll be able to do the next one, and I thought I got the third part of one of them today, but zip.  This, along with the whole time sink area with the all the light the fires and blah blah blah are making Hallowfall my least favorite land in the game.

Raise Rep with Azj-Kahet

Particularly with The Vizier.  He and I are at Crony level, if you can imagine.

Level up The Big Four

Get Proudmoore Paladin, Earthen Ring Druid, and the Blackwater Raiders Fire Mage to level 80.  The Paladin is at 77 1/2, and has only been out for a few days. It helps so much that Atherne did every single thing everywhere, so I know where to go and what to do.   I've got the Mage doing quests and World Quests to gear up quickly, as Mage isn't one of my best classes to play.  Druid two should be heading out soon.  All should be 80 by months end.

Tradeskills

Honestly tradeskills are a super butt pain, requiring loads of materials to trash with experimentation, and little to nothing to show for it, even for Cooking.  Knowing this now, every character is loading up on every resource possible before they even start to craft.

Do Every Quest, Every Delve, Every Dungeon Before Moving On To The Next Area

As much fun as it is to move along to the next adventure, leave no Quest or Delve unturned, is my motto.

The Long Dark Road to Darkmoon Faire

 I do Darkmoon Faire each month with my five main crafters at least.  Those few extra crafting points really help advance in crafting.

 

I'm finding the War Within's crafting system to be very different and hard to advance in.  Does it seem to you that my Alchemist could have made 45 Health potions and be sitting at 10/100 in Alchemy?  She got three juicy points by going to Darkmoon Faire this week, though, so she can do anything.

Look at these things she could make.  Some require you to destroy your hard won potions!  And one wants you to destroy via experimentation 20 Herbs.  Yikes.

Although I can craft Algari Healing Potions on the fly, note some of these require an Alchemists Lab Bench.  Back to Legion and that annoying requirement.  Yes, this likely was all put in place in Dragonflight, which I skipped.

All of that isn't even the long road of the title.  In order for my main crafters to learn Khaz Algar tradeskills, they need to go to Khaz Algar.  Your character will need to go around the city of Dalaran preparing for the city to be moved.  They will need to fight off attackers and try to get civilians to safety during the attack on the city.  When you get to the beach in Khaz Algar, you've got Nerubians to fight and citizens to help.  When you get to Dornogal, there are more Nerubians to fight, then you do some city cleanup, you bad outsider dog.

Dornogal is not a friendly city to navigate.  The trainers are spread all over, up this way, and down that way.  By the time you get to Darkmoon Faire, it's a relief.  

I've done these steps with my four campfire characters, and those have Alchemy, Tailoring/Enchanting and Blacksmithing covered.  I still need a Leatherworker, Engineer, Inscriptionist, Jewelcrafter to learn the new level of crafts, so four more times through the above so they can go to the Faire.  Next month it will be simpler.

I'm looking at these characters as being able to provide high level crafted goods for the entire Warband character list, via the Warband Bank.  As it was, I had Atherne put Health Potions for the next three in line in the Warband Bank to help them in the upcoming fights.  My Proudmoore Alchemist has been working on Dragonflight Alchemy and could provide level 70 potions for everyone.  Also, my Proudmoore Engineer can't make Thermal Anvils yet for the Blacksmithing quest at the Faire, so I just moved one into the Warband Bank for use by Proudmoore's Blacksmith.  It is so handy!
