Achievements Made Possible with WotLK

[rsq]

Hey all, wanted to compile a list of achievements that are possible to get now that we can access Northrend. This is likely to be incomplete, so please add any achievements not listed!

# - previously attainable but made much easier with WotLK

General
Friend or Fowl?
To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before
To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life
Pest Control
Higher Learning

Quests
Mine Sweeper

Exploration
All of Explore Northrend
Northern Exposure > Frostbitten

PvP
Wintergrasp Ranger
I'm interested in messing around with Wintergrasp and seeing if there are ways to get some of the achievements associated with the actual battleground, such as zoning in and winning a wintergrasp before you get ported out. No clue if this would work, but would be interesting to attempt.

Moar Titles?

 

[Holypowah]

How do you earn more rep with the Kirin tor and the argent crusade?

 

[rsq]

Just glancing over this, it doesn't look as if any new titles become available after this unless someone has figured out how to get Argent Dawn to exalted?

@ Jsu8, Kirin Tor Commendation Badge - Item - World of Warcraft and so forth... wowhead is your friend

 

[Aradiel]

Second That Emotion - Achievement - World of Warcraft is possible. The Northrend Gourmet - Achievement - World of Warcraft isn't.

Thanks. Second That Emotion looks like a hell of a grind.

Why do you think northrend gourmet is not attainable? I got an incredible amount of recipes from the trainer regularly. Those + the 4 drops would seem to add to 15. It's late so I'm too tired to go through every single recipe... but if you have then I fully believe you.

 

[Aradiel]

Actually, it might be possible I miscounted on the 15 required. Yes, you'd need help killing for the drops. It might be possible with NPC help, although it'd be a lot easier with high level help. I have 117 recipes, I think I had 104 or 102 before. I don't have any of the dropped recipes.

Twenty-Five Tabards - Achievement - World of Warcraft Maybe possible now because i think lofi was at like 19 before and there maybe 6 new ones but just my guess.

Grand Master Fisherman - Achievement - World of Warcraft It's late and the end of the week so I've shut down my math part of my brain lol but I'm at honored with Kirin Tor and it costs 12g 50s to train so I think at exalted it may cost only 10g but again just my guess. Neither are factual but possibilities.

 

[Holypowah]

What transmog set goes with with Argent Crusade tabard? I wear mail.

 

[Bowwow]

Taking the Show on the Road - Achievement - World of Warcraft

 

[Tooh87]

If you half a half-assed geared 85 to help you for the four dropped cooking patterns, I would suggest going to Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown (co-ords 45, 77). There's a lot of level 80 elites with 33k or so hp. A bunch on one side, and a bunch on the other. With my trash geared tankadin I'd pull one side, kill/loot, and go to the next side, and typically by the time I was done the first sides pack had respawned, or did so in under a min. So, fairly quick grind, easy to gold cap your f2p whenever needed, and plenty and random drops to hold that'll put you at, or near gold cap, whenever you vendor.

I had Bad Clams drop off a rare, and Tasty Cupcake/Last Week's Mammoth drop in the Cathedral of Darkness. I think I was there for maybe two or so hours. If you don't have p2p help, it's probly gonna be a loooong grind.

 

[Purse]

Argent Champion title is off limits for pure F2P players.

Argent Dawn rep can only be gotten by some Eastern Plaguelands / Scholomance / Stratholme quests which are all Lv40/50+ range? Bad luck.

Even with P2P help it's unobtainable - only players who also have a connected P2P account will be able to get it.

 

[solvogero]

nevermind

 

[Tooh87]

In regards to Ebon Blade, you can't go and buy their tabard, but you can get the rep badges to take them to Exalted, which is an achieve.

Slight-Edit: It (unintentionally) sounded a little douchey when I re-read it.

 

[solvogero]

In regards to Ebon Blade, you can't go and buy their tabard, but you can get the rep badges to take them to Exalted, which as this topic is discussing, is an achieve.

thanks. i'm such an amateur.

Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown (co-ords 45, 77)

Thanks for the tip!

Has no one found any mobs that grant the rep?


And I chose not to add 'The Argent Crusade' because it was technically possible pre-wotlk. Should I add it anyway, considering now it's much easier to obtain?

Also, unrelated, /cry at how Sons of Hodir tease us with their shoulder enchants.

 

[Tooh87]

I'd suggest it since it technically is a WotLK rep/achieve. And from every bit of research I did in the past, there aren't any mobs that will grant AD rep, or at least not until Exalted. They did away with it and put the mobs that grant AC rep instead.

 

[Björke]

The Oceanographer and The Limnologist should (?) now be attainable

Oceanographer should be attainable, Limnologist, however, shouldnt be because Albino Cavefish can only be fished in Deepholm.

Awesome, thank you!

A lot of the old mobs that did give Argent Dawn at one stage were either changed (at the start of Cata, due to the Azeroth-wide revamp) to not give rep anymore or removed from the game completely or started giving rep for Argent Crusade instead. This might have been a design oversight, OR as a result of the changing Lore, probably a bit of both.

As far as I know the only way for anyone of any level to get Argent Dawn rep since Cata is to do the Fiona's Caravan quest chain in Eastern Plaguelands -> grind 2 repeatable dungeon quests in Scholomance and Stratholme.

Yes i would add the Argent Crusade rep achieve along with the other WOTLK faction achievements
