Server Maintenance
Hello all,
We are aware of an issue with some people displaying characters as not in the database. We are working hard on getting this fixed, do not attempt to submit a character request as we still have everyone character data and this will cause errors with your character. At this point we do not have a timeframe for when this will be fixed. When we do get more information we will post it here.
Update 1: We have determined the root cause of this error and are working to correct the problem. This process may take a while, but we are working throughout the night to get it working.

GTA: Perma-Peddle!
Is it Monday? If so, Get That Achievement's here to spur your lazy butt into motion! Our good friend Vyndrian picks an achievement, and then you go out and achieve it! What'll it be this week?
Okay, gang, this has me excited. The world event Love is in the Air has been revamped and let me tell you, it is amazing now. Gone is the double- and triple-RNG for chocolates and candies! Gone is the repetitive cologne-dabbing to kiss random NPCs that break your heart. Gone is that soul-crushing hour-long cooldown.
Fourteen days!
A new boss encounter that makes me laugh every time a precious noob dies!
A sick new pet, and a sicker new mount!
Bracelets you can farm easily for massive auction house gold!
And best of all,
Perma-Peddle is right there for the taking. No longer is it a 1-5% chance to get from an hour-long cooldown. No. If you do eight dailies (or grind for bracelets), this pet is yours. That is so easy. Please, do yourself a favor and go get Peddlefeet. I sure did!
I know it's lazy of me to pick an achievement from a current world event, but I think I'm allowed to do it once or twice. Hardcore people, I got nothin' for you.
And how's everyone doing on the 30-Day GTA, Brood of Nozdormu? You people never e-mail so I don't get updates. Which means I have no stories to share about peoples' favorite Kalimdor spots! Shame on you all!
That's all for me this week, gang. Be prepared, because next week I think I'll have a significantly trickier achievement for you all. You will weep when you see it. Until then!
E-mails can be sent to vyndrian at wow-achievements dot com, and if you want more than a weekly fix of your GTA, please see the Get That Achievement! thread on the official WoW forums. Now Get That Achievement! Labels: Brood of Nozdormu, Get That Achievement, Love is in the Air, Perma-Peddle, Vyndrian

Going Insane - Info Dump
Ok, here's the promised infodump, catch up post! Sorry if it’s a little long and dry.
If you want to know more about what the Insanity achievement is check it out on
WoWWiki or
Fannin's Guide.
My main goal with this post is to provide something of a time line and to be at least somewhat entertaining.
First, I decided to work up my Ravenholdt faction, since this is where I needed a toon other than my main. I did this by farming LBRS for about a week for 2-3 hours a day on my rogue.
A couple tips:
1. Drop Stealth whenever you'll be a few feet away from mobs for more than 10 seconds, this will make the run go a little quicker.
2. Use Sap whenever a mob is in your direct path or blocking you from picking his friends' pockets.
3. Sprint often, but not when you're picking 10 pockets right in a row, because running in place is fairly pointless.
4. Use Distraction or Sap on moving mobs, so they don't walk right into you.
5. Save Preparation for those moments when you do get caught. This only happens when you do something stupid, like walk into a mobs target ring. Not that I know anything about that.
My path was to hit as many pockets as I could, as quickly as I could. I skipped pockets that were too far out of the way because I didn't want to spend too much time only traveling. I think I'll post a video of my cat running my rogue's path rather than explain it in too much detail. But basically, get the beginning area, including the three rooms under the bridge. Then go clockwise around the first UBRS room. Sprint back over to LBRS side and start picking every pocket, skipping the ogre room, because it's too much time for too few pockets. Then go down into the big troll room. I only pick the pockets that are in my path to get to the orc area, because again, it's too much travel time and not enough pocket picking time to go around the whole room. Once I get all the orc pockets I jog (not stealthed) right up to the spiders, once a couple are hitting my I pop Evasion and Sprint. Once I'm past the spider area and sprint drops I Vanish. Then I pick all the ogre pockets right in that immediate area. I do NOT continue up from here. I drop down onto the ogre bridge and pick pockets back to the beginning, where I once again do the entrance area and the UBRS area. Rinse. Repeat. This seems to net me the most pockets in the least time. I'd say
farming lockboxes took 16-18 hours total, although I wasn't timing it. And these macros are golden to auto delete the junk you get. First, you may not want to use the Star Ruby one if you want to sell them. Second, make sure you put the first 5 macros on the right bar in the bottom 5 slots. Then you can put the last macro where ever you want on your action bar. Now, whenever you hit that last macro it will auto delete all that other crap. Luckily, mobs in BRS only carry 6 different kinds of objects in their pockets.
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="Roasted Quail" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="An Exotic Cookbook" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="Homemade Cherry Pie" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="Superior Healing Potion" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="Star Ruby" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end
/MultiBarRightButton8
/MultiBarRightButton9
/MultiBarRightButton10
/MultiBarRightButton11
/MultiBarRightButton12
When I wasn't on the rogue, I was on Cazz in Durnholde in Hillsbrad murdering as many Syndicates as I could as quickly as I could. I popped Dash when it was off cool down and of course I have the feral swiftness talent. I run up to mobs and stop and hit them and move on. I only stop for a second or less. This avoids annoying lag moments where my attacks don't kill them. The video on wow-achievements.com shows a path similar to mine, so just use that one.
This didn't take very long at all,
4 or 5 hours but I was queuing for randoms while doing this part.
Luckily, Lujo, my warlock has
Moll-E, and I had him stationed beside the turn-in guy at Ravenholdt Manor. I'd pop the mailbox and log out, then log Cazz in who would already be standing there
with empty bags, besides his hearth.
Moll-E only lasts 10 minutes, so you gotta be quick. I use the postal add-on for the open all button and I use this macro that is just like the LBRS one to delete the unique quest reward:
So there you have it, I'm exalted with the obscure rogue faction, and it only took a casual week. I'm actually going to cut this short here, since it's getting pretty long winded. I'll tell you guys about killing goblins and starting Shen'dralar next time, and then we'll be all caught up.

Love is in the Air has CHANGED ... A LOT
Wow... so I hop on this morning to take a video of the new boss (only to find out that
WoW.com already took a good one at 6:15 this morning... personally... I was doing better things that early lol.
Here's their video
However... there have been A LOT of changes to the event this year... I'll do my best to tell you about them.
First off, unlike previous years, you have to BUY your items using Love Tokens.
These Love Tokens can be acquired by doing the dailies.
I gotta admit, I unfortunately don't have time to write up a great guide today... Superbowl and all, but I am not one to leave my users wanting, so check out wowhead's AMAZING guide to both
The Dailies, and
The Main Questline.
If you guys run across any good advice feel free to post it, I wanna hear from you guys!
Also, we want to see your
Love is in the Air Screenshots, feel free to post away, if we get enough of them we'll do a cool Mosaic :)

TGIF: 2/5/10 - Love is in the Air
On Friday's I like to talk a little bit about myself, the game, or whatever else comes to mind. I editorialize a bit, so take everything with a grain of salt.
Hello all!
Well, for those of you who may have missed your
Bag of Candies last year, this Sunday begins the
Love is in the Air begins on Sunday... (so does the Super Bowl (Go Colts!!!)) so make sure you're on those hourly candy bags to make sure we don't have the QQ and heartbreak of last year.
Tonight I'll be working on the new redesign of the site quite a bit... hoping to make some real progress as I shouldn't have any real distractions (if I'm lucky).
What are you guys up to this weekend? Colts or Saints or Don't give a crap?

AT: Ding...You've got rare mob
Every Thursday Eiseldora will write a post with tips and links to resources you can use to help you reach your achievement goals. This segment will be called Achievement Toolbox.
Today I wanted to share with you an addon used to alert you when there is a rare spawn nearby, called NPCScan. This addon Is great to use when you are questing in Northrend or Outland, and can help you work towards the achievement: Bloody Rare and Frostbitten
Additionally, this addon will also help you find any rare tamable hunter pets, but rest assured if you come across one of these pets in Dalaran the addon will not alert you to kill. However it will not alert you to when you see the beast again "in the wild" until you've cleared your cache. Also if you run across a rare spawn's corpse you'll need to delete your cache. While annoying, the addon works by recording all the mobs that you encounter then sending you an alert/playing a sound when you see a rare spawn, so its good practice to be clearing out the cache on a regular basis just to make sure it doesn't lag your game.

Going Insane - Introducing Cazz
Allow myself to introduce myself. I am Cazz. I am a cat, and rarely a bear, like my wife, usually a minx, but beware the bear. I'm not insane yet, but, I hope to be soon. I reside on Kul Tiras, as does my druid wife, Maizy the wonder-tree. I have been playing WoW since Beta and I have leveled several 80s, and a few over 70, so for that reason it's safe to assume I know nothing, I mean, everything.
I just joined the WoW-Achievement team to share my adventures of going insane. Sort of give a timeline of what you may go through if you'd like to become insane. I wish I would have joined a little sooner and shared my first steps, but I'll just have to share all the stuff I accomplished without you guys in one giant infodump post, sort of like reading any of the middle Wheel of Time books. Coming soon to an iPAD near you, and
maybe even a Kindle.
I love to write. I'm not a professional, but I would be if I could. I even started a novel. It's about a guy, in this place, who does some stuff, and there are kings and bad guys and some bow chicka bow wow love. Awesome, I know.
Anyhow, I want to thank Mep for bringing me onboard. I hope this blog helps some less-awesome-than-me people out a lot!

The time has come... for the Lich King...
Hey guys,
So, yesterday was the big day... the Lich King and the Frost Wing are finally available to us. There have been a bunch of new achievements added (which I'll be adding to the site tonight), and long story short... this expansion is coming to an end. (Personally I'm happy about this, I'm eager for Cataclysm).
Have any of you downed him yet?
Blood Legion managed a 10 man kill last night, quite a feat, and certainly an achievement... although I'm looking forward to hearing about the world first 25 man kill, and even 25-heroic in (what I imagine) will be a couple of weeks / months.
As for the AKC, Paranoia was preoccupied with something the last couple days and didn't have a chance to write it up for this week... I'll get on his case about it, so don't you worry :)
However, being as how we didn't have AKC today, I'd like to take this chance to try to involve you guys a bit more... for one reason or another, the comments have been dwindling... it seems that the re-engineering and designing of this site couldn't have come at a better time.
It is well underway, and I'm trying to fit in as much coding as possible most days... I even finally got around to fixing the individual achievement tracking thing again... Not everyone is updated yet, however, quite a few thousand are. It will take a little bit before it's all sorted out, but by relaunch, things will be looking a heck of a lot better.
I'd like to see your pictures of your fight with the Lich King, so upload them to
WoW-Screenshots.com, and you may find it as the main image on my TGIF this week :)
