WOW Achievement: Discombobberlated

One of the profession achievements which rewards a toy is the fishing achievement, Discombobberlated. This achievement rewards the toy, Reusable Oversized Bobber.

A quick way to complete this achievement is to go to Legion Dalaran and first visit Marcia Chase <Fishing Trainer & Supplies> near the fountain, to purchase Oversized Bobber.

Then enter the Dalaran Underbelly and make your way to The Black Market area.  Be aware that this area is sometimes PVP but if you want to counter that, to make sure you are not attacked, you can buy a bodyguard for 5 gold for 5 minutes from Raethan <Underbelly Guard Captain> near the entrance.

Once at the black market area you will see some green pools called Shimmering Whorl.  Using the Oversized Bobber fish in these pools and you will fish up the Sightless eyes,

From each successful cast you will get between 6 and 9 Sightless eyes and these will all count towards completing the achievement making it take far fewer than the 100 casts required if you were catching one fish at a time.  To complete the achievement took less than 5 minutes.  

Enjoy your new toy. :)

How Many World Quests?

I was checking my achievements the other day and noticed this:

How did I get so close to completing this and not realise.   Just 1 more world quest to go and this is complete.  So I did it.  One pet battle later, 22 pet charms collected and achievement finally completed.

10,000 World Quests Completed -  Complete 10,000 world quests.  

I do not regularly do all the world quests and never have.  If I am aiming for something I will do the world quests required and usually the easiest or quickest ones only.  Over the past few expansions I have done quite a few world quests in order to collect resources or complete dailies like the Callings in Shadowlands or the Emissaries in Legion.  This would often include the pet battles or profession world quests, as they are easy and quick.  I did spend a few weeks trying to do all the pet battle world quests in Shadowlands and BfA in order to collect the pet charms towards the cost of the 10,000 pet charm bauble worm, which I am still working towards (almost there). 

To get here I have completed 10,000 world quests, which sounds like a lot.  I really think there should be a title for completing this achievement.

Good luck for anyone else aiming for this achievement.  My only tip is don't make it a chore, if there are quests you don't like, don't do them.  If you need a break, have a World Quest day off.  We play for fun, there is no rush.  Make sure you enjoy it or do something else for a bit.

Snapback Scuttler part 1

I decided to start working towards the Snapback Scuttler mount.  This is the awesome crab mount that is a reward for completing the Nazjatar meta achievement Undersea Usurper in BFA.  This is a very long achievement and has many parts.

Undersea Usurper - Complete the Nazjatar Achievements listed below

So far I have completed 6 achievements but still have many more to complete to get the mount.  
I have only played in Nazjatar in order to get reputation for Pathfinder Part II, back then without flying it was a nightmare to navigate and I only did the bare minimum required.  The zone looks great and once you can fly, getting around is a lot better, although there are still times where I couldn't work out where to find something as it was maybe in a cave or on another layer of the scenery.  

Nazjatar

There are a large number of rares with many pet/toy drops which don't seem to drop much for me, although I haven't been killing them that regularly so maybe they would if I put a little more effort in. 

The six achievements I have done so far are:

Explore Nazjatar - to explore the zone.
The Unshackled - earn exhalted with the Unshackled.
Unfathomable - complete the Nazjatar storyline.

Subaquatic Support - complete 30 requisition or bounty daily quests in Nazjatar (most of the dailies are these so its not hard to complete although one of them to collect of of about 8 different items is a little annoying so I often skipped it)
Mrrl's Secret Stash - obtain one of Mrrl's Secret Stash.
Terror of the Tadpoles - shoo away 100 Bloodfin Tadpoles in Nazjatar.

Time to keep working on this.  Some of the achievements just take time and some will take a little more work.

Raiding With Leashes VI finally

After several months and many runs I have finally got the achievement Raiding With Leashes VI: Pets of Pandaria

and the reward, the very cute battle pet, Happiness.

This achievement is the most recent of the raiding with leashes achievements and is from dungeons in Pandaria including Mogu'shan Vault, Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring.  I have run these dungeons multiple times and collected multiples of many of the other pets but one pet, Living Amber which drops from Amber-Shaper Un'sok in Heart of Fear, had eluded me until today.

The pets to collect for this achievement are:
   Terrace of Endless Spring

      Azure Windseeker (Tsulong)   
      Spirit of the Spring (Lei Shi)

   Mogu'shan Vault
      Stoneclaw (The Stone Guard)
      Wayward Spirit (Gara'jal the Spiritbinder)
      Comet (Elegon)
      Mogu Statue (Will of the Emperor)

   Heart of Fear
      Kor'thik Swarmling (Imperial Vizier Zor'lok)
      Amberglow Stinger (Blade Lord Ta'yak)
      Spawn of Garalon (Garalon)
      Living Amber (Amber-Shaper Un'sok)
      Ravenous Prideling (Grand Empress Shek'zeer)

It's a nice collection and I look forward to Raiding with Leashes VII sometime in the future.  Good luck if you are collecting these pets which can also be caged and bought and sold in the Auction House if you want a quick completion.

Mechagon: Scrappy's Best Friend

Around Rustbolt in Mechagon you will sometimes see a small robot dog collapsed on the ground.  This is Scrappy and there is an achievement relating to him,
Scrappy's Best Friend - Revive Scrappy in Rustbolt and feed him a Mechano-Treat.

The Mechano-Treat is a tasty treat that small robots might enjoy and can be made by Pascal-K1N6 once you have uploaded the blueprint into his database.  This blueprint I got from Bonepicker, but it also drops from The Scrap King, Ol' Big Tusk and Gorged Gear-Cruncher.  It costs 100 spare parts to make 5 treats which are soulbound so you unfortunately cannot buy or sell them on the auction house.  There are no comments about these having any effect on other pets and I tried feeding them to some of my mechanical battle pets but it just said invalid target.

To complete the achievement Scrappy's Best Friend you need to find Scrappy, collapsed on the floor around Rustbolt.

Use 1 Energy Cell to revive Scrappy who will jump up, bark happily and nuzzle your leg.  Then feed him a Mechano-Treat and you will get the achievement.

Watching Hazel really is Lucky

I was watching HazelNuttyGames mount run stream live on Monday and many people on the chat have said its lucky and they have got some lucky drops while watching so I thought I would give it a try.

One of the pets I am missing from Raiding with Leashes VI: Pets of Pandaria, is Comet, from Mogu'shan Vaults despite quite a few runs and of course, I still need the mount from Elegon, Astral Cloud Serpent.  So this was my raid of choice. 

I started the run and after beating the first two bosses arrived at Gara'jal the Spiritbinder.  He dropped the first pet, Wayward Spirit which I already had two of but, who turns away pets? :)

Moving on I got past The Spirit Kings with no trouble and then on to Elegon, which after the long wait for Lorewalker Cho to catch up, I defeated, and was really pleased to drop the Celestial Gift, and Comet was mine, but unfortunately no mount!

On to the final boss.  On starting the encounter, which on heroic difficulty starts when you break the pipes inside the arena, I defeated Will of the Emperor and the final pet Mogu Statue, Baoh-Xi also dropped.  All three pets in 1 run is pretty cool.

On top of this I also got the achievement Sha of Fabulous - Collect any class armor set from the Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring.  I am not sure what dropped to give me this as this achievement is for gear collected in Endless Spring and Heart of Fear and the only new piece of transmog I got were these sweet shoulders that do not appear to be part of any set but look nice.

Spaulders of the Emperor's Rage

So overall a successful and lucky run.  All three pets on a single run that is quite nice.  Thank you Hazel and good luck to everyone else in the RNG drop rates. One pet to go and Raiding With Leashes VI is mine.

BfA Pets: Rebuilt Mechanical Spider

The Rebuilt Mechanical Spider is one of two mechanical pets that you can get from Vol'dun during the Faction Assault.  In Vol'dun there is a bridge (41:42) where two large robots, a mechanical spider for the Alliance and a mechanical gorilla for the Horde, battle against each other every few minutes.

If your factions robot wins this battle you will be able to loot a part from the corpse of the defeated robot which, when all are collected, can be made into the pets.

For the Horde you can make the Rebuilt Mechanical Spider, a small version of the Alliance Spider, Arachni.  The parts need to be looted from three separate Faction Assaults and as these are on a rotation it should take almost three weeks to get all three parts.  For the Horde the parts you can loot are Handful of Glass Spider Eyes, Steel-Plated Arachnid Exoskeleton and Mecha-Spinneret.  You can increase the chance of your robot winning the battle by collecting and handing in Alkalescent Salt, dropped from the Saltspine Krolusks and Krolusk Hatchlings by the bridge, and handing them into Blixthraz for Horde and Binny for Alliance.  This will not guarantee the win but can help.  There is a World Quest to collect this salt, Q - Battle Bots - Requirements: Alkalescent Salt x10, Give Salts to Blixthraz/Binny, but this does not have to be up for you to loot the pet parts.

Once you have collected all three parts you can combine them to make the pet.

As the spider parts and therefore the spider pet can only be looted and created by Horde players, this pet can be caged and therefore if you only have an Alliance character you should be able to buy these from the auction house.  Currently on my server they are between 10-20k gold.
