Archaeology = done!

[Catriona R]

Ahh, finally. I finished the Seat of Knowledge achievement (pristine
versions of all pandaren/mogu artifacts) several months ago, but got
slightly burned out before completing History of the Mantid (pristine
versions of all mantid artifacts), so left it... until tonight. Three
hours and 50-odd solves later, I have it! At long last :-) Still
haven't got half the Tol'vir finds I want, but my alchemist will deal
with those, not my main, because I don't have the Vial of the Sands
recipe yet, thank goodness for accountwide drops (on everything except
the stupid vial recipe, sigh). Final totals of solves:

Pandaren: 282
Mogu: 323
Mantid: 314

Total: 919

I think I've probably done enough archaeology for this expansion...
:-P

Hehe. I only leveled archeology so I could get the ach. But I have
considered completing it just like what you just did. Mainly for the
achs, of course. :) But I wish a site could be done just a little
faster than now. And that is what keeps me from doing more archeology.

Atm I'm trying to clean up all the pet battle achs. And here the
PetBattleMaster addon really rocks. :) The possibility to make a
specific group with specific abilities for each daily pet battle master
is wonderful!

It's very fun if you're a completist, though the last few objectives
are seriously tedious on the big achievements. I believe from what I
read on wowhead last night, that Foragers Gloves can speed up the
surveys, if true, that may help a little, at least - beyond that
practice and knowing where the spots are likely to be works best for
me. Most annoying for me was the sites on that island full of mantid
in Townlong, constantly having to fight off adds is annoying as heck
(and there's that one site in an area with packs of mobs that
permastun you, I always used lorewalker's map to reroll my sites when
that one came up...)

Ooh, that sounds handy, I'll take a look at that one! Love pet battles
myself, got most achievements though, just working on the celestial
pets one, mainly because the tournament is so big a task that I don't
get round to it most weeks, got 3 of the 4 pets so far lol. I want a
lot more battlestones though, got way too many low quality pets that
I'd like to boost, and doing more trainers will help a lot on that.

Congratulations. Remembering what archaeology felt like, I believe you
should get a second insane title ;-)

Hehehe :-) I *did* get a title for the pandaren/mogu bit of it: Seeker
of Knowledge, which I carry at present, according to Guildox it's less
common than Insane, which I think says it all! No title for the mantid
one though, I reckon that deserved more than 10 points!

I've always wondered what the least common mount is *among active
players* (so I could look at the list and see what the least common
mount is that I have). But all the lists are for the least common
overall, and of course list mounts that are either no longer available
or where only from the TCG or something.

I was going to put in some effort on this, but then discovered they are
selling a lot of things that aren’t in the game in the black market
auction house.

Yeah, the guildox list is alright if you can mentally filter it out,
basically everything at the very bottom is no longer obtainable, and
assuming you're not likely to get a gladiator mount, probably start at
the Sha of Anger drop mount (probably soloable when well-geared at lvl
100!) My rarest is the Brewfest Ram - no, not the swift one that's
available every year, but the normal one which was only available back
in 2007 :-) http://www.guildox.com/go/g.aspx?a=30

Heh yeah, it's quite handy if you missed out on stuff... but given I
don't have a goldcap of money yet, I always get outbid, I have never
ever won anything on it yet.... maybe it's easier on a low pop realm.
