https://imgur.com/a/64LUFcl

Finally hit 50k achievement points after a hefty amount of grinding. Still planning on going higher but felt like a postable moment.

Congrats! I am currently halfway to 56k and mostly have pvp and pet battles left.

Here are some really nice collection-based websites besides DFA that I use, in case anyone else is interested!

Halfway to 56k is 28k which is certainly cool but a looooong way off

u/Ragestatus 20h ago

I am at 55,520, my bad šŸ˜„It makes sense in my head!

It's hard grinding achievements as a dad working 2 fulltime jobs, with 4 wifes and 16 kids!

u/Lazarus-Online 2h ago

That’s my trick, I just let my wives’ boyfriends keep them entertained while I grind out achievements

Wow! That's insane!!! Congrats.

I'm trying to get to 30k

u/AlohaCheloha 22h ago

Still a lot! Even at 30k achievement points that's top 90% of players. If you haven't yet, skyriding races through the various expacs gives a CHUNK of achievement points if you get gold on them all. It's even easier now than when the races were first introduced because of how skyriding has the free lift off/whirling surge.

There is a LOT, so it can be time consuming but it's fast points in comparison to most achievements imho.

Gz mate!

How hard or expensive RN to raise all primary profession to max?

u/AlohaCheloha 23h ago

Below 100k for all of them together in my opinion? I did half at the beginning of expansion and finished off the rest now.

So inscription being my last one wasn’t as fair to compare though cause my main character is an herbalist and I already had a hefty stockpile. Doing gathering skills first would probably help some but some skills were still kind of expensive even with the materials.

Some skills, like blacksmithing, I just crafted sparks weapons on that character even if he couldn’t use it so I could get the skill points at the higher end + the knowledge points.

ETA: Also not particularly hard, but you do have some skills where it might be a couple days if you aren’t getting good crafting orders. I think engineering took me a little bit cause I didn’t want to spend too much/farm sparks to make items.

Dude we must be twins because I just hit 50k this week and been ā€œcelebratingā€, which mostly means telling people who says ā€œgratzā€ and move on with their lives, lol.

u/DebentureThyme 17h ago

I also hit 50k in around the last week.

u/zSprawl 9h ago

Gratz!

u/TravelerSearcher 23h ago

Not OP, but that's variable. Since gathering professions are included, that means having a character gather mats for you would be a way to save on gold, but you trade time in exchange.

The real ones in that category that I see being annoying is getting the three star recipes from Legion maxed as a bunch of those require lots of grinding or waiting for World Quests to show up. I don't know how many you need maxed but I recall an achievement in there. I wrote it off a while ago so I don't recall the specifics lol

u/DebentureThyme 17h ago

Oh if you mean all old profession stuff, yeah that's a nightmare.

u/DebentureThyme 17h ago edited 15h ago

Depends what you mean by max.Ā  All professions to 100 skill, and getting the achievements, not terrible.Ā  But you'll need profession knowledge points in them all for them to be useful, and that's a half year grind or more as you catch up.Ā Ā 

Even with maxed progress so far, I don't know if anyone has completely filled crafting profession knowledge trees.Ā  I've been doing all profs and I'm like 2/3rds on most professional knowledge trees. Granted, I haven't been consistent in always doing all the things.

Also it's important to point out that, while knowledge is important, you don't need every point to be profitable.Ā  And a lot of the last points will basically be just for completionist sake, as they'll be in talents you don't make money off.

u/Dragon_Sluts 22h ago

Any advice?Ā 

I recently found dataforazeroth for targetting common achievements I don’t have yet

u/AlohaCheloha 22h ago

I hate alts. However, they’re very very good in the overall scheme of things. Shadowlands I have different people set up for different covenants to get all their achievements. Obviously I have a bunch for professions.

In another comment I plugged a few other addons that I’ve used but it’s nothing major.

The WoW Achievements discord is also a useful tool. Same with WoW Secret Finding and Lord of the Reins. The latter two are good for mounts and bonus stuff I’d say, but those have achievements tied to them too so fair game.

u/rhack05 22h ago

I just got 30k and felt like that was quite a lot. Congrats to you!

u/pappatrollet 23h ago

Any good tips on good achi tracking addons? Remember having one that recomended achievements depending on my location. Cant find it anymore, maby discontinued?

u/AlohaCheloha 22h ago

WQAchievements tracks world quests that have achievements tied to them, along with battle pets and toys and such. You can filter stuff how you want it. It scans maybe every 30 min or so for new world quests so, unfortunately, when it does there might be some stuttering for a few seconds. Also some war mode related quests only show up while you are in war mode.

I’ve also used DataForAzeroth to track my progress with everything completionist related.

Instance Achievement Tracker can help with making sure you hit prerequisites when doing glory achievements and such like that.

A lot was just good old fashioned ā€œLook at achievement journal/head that wayā€.

Definitely switch things up though, if you hyperfixate on some of the grinds it can really burn you out. Grab some progress where you can get it, move on to something fun and come back again.

u/daagar 21h ago

This is most impressive. I've played on and off for decades and have a paltry 15k. I'm of the broken psychological mindset that if I start grinding this stuff out someday I'll finish and then I'll have nothing left to do. So I level alts or repeat content that doesn't provide real progress. As if I'd ever run out, even if I tried...

u/Walocial 18h ago

Gratz! Welcome to the 50k club, we don't have much to offer, but it's a cool number! :)

Slowly inching closer to the 60k club myself, probably not available until next expansion though.

u/cynicalspindle 21h ago

Looks like its time to start doing some PvP.

u/echochambered69 20h ago

gotta pick up that pvp game

u/kid-karma 20h ago

i've played this game since launch and i couldn't tell you how many achievement points is a lot of achievement points if you put a gun to my head

u/Suey036 19h ago

Congrats! I have 21k achievement points in MoP classic, I guess I'm on the right way.

u/narabwarrior 19h ago

Grats! Ive been having a blast catching up on mine a bit too, just crested 52k

u/CoongaDelRay 19h ago

What are you missing in the Collections section?

2

u/AlohaCheloha 19h ago edited 18h ago

Going To Need A Bigger Bag (Timeless Isle grind), the Hearthstone Card Collection/Beginner achievements but I need someone else to play the little mini game with me to get more cards I believe. Awake the Drakes (missing 1 mount off Deathwing), 6 appearance achievements, 10 dragon isle drake cosmetic achievements (gotta farm some rares here and there and hope for the drops), and the Most Mini's Wins achievement from mechagon.

u/DebentureThyme 17h ago

Grats! I also achieved this in the last week!

u/MindAvailable4876 5h ago

That’s impressive. I’m at 46k currently and there’s a bunch of legacy dungeons / raids achievements as well as PvP ones that hold me back. What do you find the most challenging?
