Collectors, what are you still farming/grinding pre-Cataclysm? What are your goals

List of things to finish prior to Cataclysm release.

  • Still farming ZG for Zulian Tiger.
  • Working on Ogri’la Faction.
  • After earning initial ~300 Seal Of Champions, have gone back and try to get remaining ~600 until the end of Wrath.
  • Finish Naxx 10 Glory → (10/14 done)
  • Finish Naxx 25 Glory → (9/14 done)
  • Finish Ulduar 25 Glory → (11/13 done)
  • Start on ICC 10 Glory. (Didn’t do a single achieve run, so only got a few from first 2 weeks of ICC) → (8/16 done)
  • Finish ICC 25 Glory with the guild (Only Sindy achieve left) → 16/17 done
  • Finish farming for Halaa Battle and Research tokens for War Talbuk mounts.
  • End of Wrath, drop engineering, re-level Herbalism, farm up gold for Shadowmourne quest rewards (x2 toys + tabard)
  • Complete “For the Alliance” achievement to slain all Horde leaders.

I’ve already completed “What A Long Strange, Strange Trip It’s Been”, but still missing a handful of off-meta achievements and toys/pets.

Didn’t do anything for Pilgrim event either.

List of To-Do things during Cataclysm (not Cataclysm related)

  • Farm Scale of the Sands (TBC Hyjal) Reputation.
  • Farm Vanilla Nozdormu and Hydraxuan Waterkird raid reps.
  • Winterspring Tiger. Starting Cataclysm it no longer requires rep. Just 21 days of dailies.
  • Clear all Vanilla raids for achievements.
  • Do first PvP season to get some achievements from PvP, as I got nearly none of PvP ones done.

So…what do you have planned?

:dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

I went and got all the tier 0.5 set on my shaman. It was actually a pretty fun little adventure, even at 80. I can’t imagine how time consuming it would have been at 60.

Hoping to push 2.2k in 3s… currently 1990

The only things I’m missing that leave in Cata is Conquerer of Ulduar (need a no death Mimi), He Feeds on Your Tears (10m), Resilience Will Fix It (25m), A Tribute to Immortality, and my guaranteed Invincible’s Reins. Should get it all done before too long though. Everything else can be pushed off.

I thought about getting the stratholme steed, something I didn’t bother to do in the past since there was no account sharing for mounts. Now all my characters could use it. It’s the only remaining ground I’d care about but don’t have. Flying ones are irrelevant because I have a 310% and Blizzard would not share the speed.

At 60, people were doing classic dungeons naturally, so it wasn’t hard to get most of the original dungeon set pieces.

Still waiting to roll higher than a damn 30 on Invincible mount…

I have pretty much everything.
Just waiting for one of the best expansions.

Legion 2027.

3 expansions in 2.5 years? Thats some copium right here

I find Cataclysm just to be a superior version of Wrath

  • Better class design. Rotations feel smooth AF for the most part.
  • enhanced Role playing aspect of the game
  • revived old content
  • story telling got MUCH better and easier to follow the lore.

Sure, Dragonsoul lasted a little longer than ICC did, but this won’t be the case from Classic re-release.

Actually i think ds lasted as long as icc

None of the Above… it will be just like starting over…

You got invincible!?!!?

Even if he doesn’t, he said “pretty much everything”, not everything. …and maybe…it’s just invisible. :dracthyr_love_animated:

And not all care about collecting everything. He could have easily meant “have cleared pretty much everything

Now, I have collected almost everything. I’m only about 20 mounts short

  • 6 from Argent Tournament
  • All raid drop ones. Some Glory achievement
  • PvP mounts.
  • Kodo/love rocket.

My guild is progging LK H right now. Though we were 11/12 prebuff, we didn’t even get a chance to prog on LK due to roster boss. However, even without LK HC clear I’m ready for next adventure.

And got 105 pets, with 19 missing. 6 of which are Horde-only, a few event ones and Children weeks ones are missing too.

There’s not much I want to do outside of reps, I have pretty much all of the vanity pets, all Alchemy recipies (the only profession I care about) and I don’t really care for mounts.

I’d like to work on Ogri’la but I’m already exalted with the Sha’tari Skyguard which makes getting Ogri’la rep annoying.

I’m gonna work on getting the Pony Bridle so that I can have access to a bank with my characters that don’t have Jeeves.

I’ve finished both Naxx 10 and 25 Glory of the Raider achievements

I’m just missing the Razorscale achievement for 10 and 25 man Ulduar as well as the Cat Lady one for 25. As for ICC I’m 8/16 for both 10 and 25 man.

Man don’t get me started on roster boss, my guild managed to down H LK on 5% but I like to think that we could’ve done it prebuff if it weren’t for roster boss.

How many crafts did it take for the TBC Discovery recipes? :3

Due to our roster issues, we didn’t even attempt LK H until after the buff went live.
One our top DPS, (the highest parser in the guild) only raided 1 day a week instead of 2. And now we lost him completely due to his scheduling changes.

So that sucks.
We are at about 50% prog now though after 3 weeks? 2 ? something like that.

I AH’d the entire Shatari for like 1k gold xD
But I decided to do Ogrilla. It’s slow…but at the same time only takes like 10m/day to get all 4 daily quests done.

If you wanna get this mount before Cata without the giant grind and have a Horde character above level 60 or so, I’d suggest just doing the Venomhide Ravasaur daily grind. Because all mounts are account-wide now since ICC, on an Alliance character, you will receive the Winterspring Frostsaber (speaking from experience)

To be fair, there’s also an achievement for maxing the rep and a pet in the process as well. :stuck_out_tongue:

we skip WoD of course
