The OCD Can Fly and Be Free
I love achievements.
Honestly, I do.
It gives the OCD part of my brain a real chance to be unabashedly itself. I can grind rep, collect pets, explore, and maim things to my heart’s content all in the name of achievements.
It also gives me the perfect excuse when someone raises an eyebrow at me and asks why I’m grinding BC rep.
I saw someone with almost every achievement in the game the other day. I shake my fist at them.
Currently, I’m working on any reputation that will award me a mount and/or a vanity pet. Seeing is how I hit the lovely level of 70 about a month before Wrath released, I missed a lot of the BC end-game so going back in the name of achievements has been a lot of fun for me.
So, for you, what types of achivements do you go for first? Is there any big achivement project you’re working on? Do you hate achivements with the fire of a thousand suns?
I have to tell you that the current achievement I am working on for my main (80 hunter) is The death charger from Baron in Strat. I love the Baron Kill counter, it helps me keep track of exactly how obsessed I have become (15 tries in the 3 days since i started). I have gotten down to about 13 minutes from beginning to killing Baron. Most of that time is spent killing the bile retchers right before baron. I am also doing that to grind rep for AD.
A warlock in my guild has been working on that very same thing. I think he’s about to /wrists if it doesn’t drop soon!
World Explorer for meh.
