    Hi All,

    Just wondering with WoD coming up has anybody been achievement whoring until it comes out?

    I've been working on a lot of reputation for ages. Only Anglers/Emps/Dominance Offensive/Shado Pan Assault left in MoP.

    Also been farming old Cata dungeons for rep/soloable achievements.

    I really need to do Ulduar, have a mountain of them left but I just hate the raid, especially the 1st boss.

    So is anybody else achievement whoring?

    Shaoshao and celestials ( was killing guards) are the last I need . I run most major raids that drop mounts weekly.

    I'm only10k achievement points myself. I tend to focus on the ones that give titles or mounts. My favourite is probably my Herald of the Titans Feat of Strength.

    There's a great addon (which is outdated at the mo) called OverAchiever that will suggest addons you can complete depending on the area you're in. It also allows you to create a quick-view list for achievements you're working on so it's easy to navigate to to check progress.

    I've been doing some of the dungeon ones, but mainly just because i've been getting some transmog gear. Not really bothered with most of them to be honest.

    Achievements have been on thing I've never bothered with . I did the Halloween ones just cause I wanted the title, but never actively gone out of my way to earn them.

    I used to be like this also but my problem was i had way to many chars and it can be pretty meaningless when you switch between chars allot.

    When i finally started to pick just two chars one of them to be my dps main i started doing them and had allot of fun at it. Combined with that the mounts you can get from them its also pretty cool.

    It is a testament to the game that there is so much depth and thing to do in it outside of traditional modes of play. It keeps me busy allot of the time but is always allot of fun.

    My current activities are, farming bloodcoins for that mount, finish off shaoshao rep, finish leveling LW for the new mount in WOD and start archeology for the bug mount.
