That last item was made worse by the fact that HandyNotes will take the treasure off your map once you have found it, but it doesn’t know about any treasures you might have found before you installed the addon. And even then you had to mouse over it to get the cogwheel icon to be sure. But I had one, a ring at the bottom of a small pond, that simply wasn’t visible until you were right on top of it. And I missed the ledge on the first try.Īnd then there is the fact that some of those treasures are difficult to see, even when you know they are there. Once a treasure was in a hole in the roof of a cave, and you could see it from the cave, but had to go a long way around a mountain to find my way up to drop into the hole and land on a ledge to grab the item. Sometimes the treasure is up in a tree or on top of something. Sometimes the treasure is in a cave below the spot shown on the map, and the entrance is a ways off. However, as helpful as that was, it didn’t turn the hunt into a 100% gimme event.įirst, knowing where a treasure is on a 2D map and then actually finding it in a 3D world are two different things. That put all of their locations on the in-game map and mini-map for you. I did go download the HandyNotes addon for Draenor treasures. There just isn’t any short cut, you have to go out in the world and find 100 treasures in Draenor, excluding Tanaan Jungle. The fourth on the list, the Master Treasure Hunter achievement, is probably where I spent most of my time. Now I just need the 7.0 patch to hit and move tabards to their own special storage, as those are taking up 40 bank slots currently. That also got me Exalted status with the Arakkoa Outcasts and the Council of Exarchs, two achievements there, which meant being able to buy their special mounts, pets, and tabards, which happened to also roll me into an achievement for mounts and tabards. My reputation started at friendly with the three key factions: I went to the auction house and bought some medallions. If I did my math right, that saved me a couple of medallions, which made it well worth the cost. But just enhance that some more, I tore down the enchanting building in my garrison and put up a trading post, upgrading it to level 3, to give me an additional 20% gain to reputation. Since I had chosen a human character for this, I was already set to get a 10% bonus to reputation gains via his innate “Diplomacy” skill. Not enough gold that I could spend recklessly, but enough to invest in that particular aspect of the effort. Why do work when you can spend gold? And Gold I had. However Mazer, also in the comments on the previous WoW post, mentioned the Medallion of the Legion item, which can be used to gain 1,000 rep with all Draenor factions per medallion. So I figured I would be in for a couple weeks of daily quests to conquer that part of the effort. I have done rep grinds before, and I am sure I will do them again. That all showed up with the 6.2 patch about a year back if I recall right, which is about when I stopped playing. The third item on the list Tanaan Diplomat, which meant getting revered status with the three factions introduced with the Tanaan Jungle zone, Hand of the Prophet, Order of the Awakened, and The Saberstalkers. Of course, the last blank spot ended up being the point furthest away from my current location on the map when it came down to it. It was just a matter of riding around the map to fill in the blank spots. The only place I had to do some work on the achievement was Frostfire Ridge, which is the horde starting zone.įortunately I already had the two alliance flight points there, so getting out to the zone was easy. I had explored two zones fully already and was one location away on a couple more. ![]() Likewise, the Explore Draenor achievement was fairly close to being done. As noted in the last post, I only had a couple of steps to go before getting the Loremaster of Draenor achievement. I had none of them, but I was close on a couple. thanks to Kimeni who shared that in the comments on previous WoW post.) (If you want to see your own status, WoW Head has a page that takes your character name and server and tells you how far along you are. Unlocking flying requires earning five achievements, which are:Īs it turned out, I had none of those achievements when I set off. While she has faltered a bit, not having a task in mind, I went straight for unlocking flying in Draenor as a goal. As I mentioned in late June, my daughter and I are back to playing World of Warcraft in anticipation of the upcoming Legion expansion.
