Today WOW, tomorrow the skies!

[fbhjr]

The last expansion that came out for WOW they said they weren’t going to let people fly. Basically because it made it too easy for people.
No, my bear mount can’t fly. Just parachute.


But, they have finally relented. They said you will be able to fly if you go and look at all the new content they wrote and see how cool it is.

OK, that isn’t really what they said.
What they said is that you have to get these achievements, explore the expansion, do the quest chains, and get reputation with certain factions.

But, trust me, it comes down to "look at the content me made that you’ve been ignoring!"


Of course, some of it is buggy. Like floating people for no reason. (Upper left)


But, a lot of it is cool. You do spend a whole lot of time grinding in their new section.


But, no one minds grinding the same quests every day for a month or two, right?


We did manage to get the grinding one done over the weekend.


And, I got the exploring without too much trouble.


Last night I got the final piece (of 100) of buried treasure I needed.


And, today we finished the last two quests you have to do, getting the "pathfinder" achievement.


Up until now it hasn’t mattered how long we took to do this. Even if you finish it, you don’t get anything. But, tomorrow is the big update and that’s when you’ll be able to fly.
So, my wife and I finishing tonight is perfect timing.
Tomorrow we’ll be able to fly our characters around.
Of course, we won’t have anything we have to do as we just finished everything…

Yeah, I think we only had one story line quest to finish as we had done almost all.
And, we had almost everything explored already.

The treasures is a tough one. But, if you get the treasure maps it becomes much, much easier. I got more than 30 treasures out of the starting area in only an hour.

Securing Draenor was the last one I got done too. It got much easier once we realized we could buy the quests to do the areas and didn't need to wait for them to come up in rotation.

Oh? Where do you buy those quests?

In the garrison next to the supply pile was a person who would sell "scout reports" for resources. They turn into the quests for those zones.

I'll have to look for him tonight. thanks!

Last night I ground for 60+ treasures primarily in Gorground and Shadowmoon Valley. If you're level 100 the mobs are like threshing wheat!

I did 15-20 treasures last night in Gorgrond. I figured I'd hit it again tonight.

Good on ya, I found it a slog!

I'm finding it pretty tedious. I seem to spend an awful lot of time running around where they are supposed to be trying to find them. But, I'm up to 80 now, so another evening or two will do it!

hey, thanks for this! I managed to get myself down to just one area left - The Pit, which they don't sell. If I don't slack off, I should be able to fly by next week!

I was so jealous last night of all the folks flying past me in Tanaan.
