This month brings us to another Brewfest and for many people that will wrap up the “What a Long, Strange Trip it’s been” achievement and give them a lovely Violet Proto-drake mount. Of my pocketful of characters, I’m only getting this on one. I have some guildies who drag numerous alts through each world event achievement (and many other achievement categories). For me, that seems like a huge undertaking as far as time is concerned. I have enough trouble just doing on the one. For those of you with alts (or many mains) how do you handle the achievement whoring?
One Response to “Achievement whoring”
Listen, I know you…if you had more hours in a day, you’d so take 5 characters through every achievement. Don’t front on us, beeyatch.
Seriously, though, it depends on the scale of the achievement. I would love to have all my characters with a free 310% speed mount but there simply isn’t time in the day. I dragged my rogue through the entirety of the Flame Keeper achievement simply because he had no title besides “Noble” (which was damned simple to do anyway) and he was early-40s, so I thought it’d be cool to have a title that even 80s avoided. For Noblegarden, I dragged as many through as I could stand (7 I think). For Flame Keeper, it was 2.5, because my paladin never finished. For all the rest, its been just niente really. Perhaps this year’s Brewfest will renew my achievement whoring, but really, most of the achievements I care about now I can’t get solo (dungeon runs and such) so I have to go with whoever I can at the time, which is slim since I work until 11 server now. Ah well.
How do I deal with it? Simple. I get my one main all of the achievements, and the rest get whatever scraps I feel up to at the moment. So much simpler than trying to get them all everything they can get. Hell, gearing up 3 80s, a 77, and a 68 who might end up tanking is hard enough to not need achievements on top of it!
