I am well aware that getting the Loremaster achievement is a huge time sink. But I’m finally finished!

Loremaster Thistlefizz, the Seeker
Posted in Fizz with tags achievements, Fizz on November 5, 2009 by thistlefizzIcecrown: The Final Goal
Posted in General with tags achievements, quests on November 4, 2009 by thistlefizzSo apparently nobody quests in Icecrown anymore (besides the dailies). I’m working on Loremaster of Northrend and all I have to do is Icecrown. And I’m down to the group quests. I’ve done every other quest I can and have even soloed some of the easier group quests. But some of these I’m just not that ‘leet’ as it were. So I spent probably 3 hours just flying around Icecrown doing dailies, mining ore and spamming “LFG Banshee’s Revenge/Second Chances/Fate of Bloodbane” over and over. No takers.
And it seems that no-one I know is signing on these days so I don’t have friends to help. It’s super frustrating. But tomorrow is another day, and hopefully tomorrow I’ll get a group together.

What a Long Strang Trip it’s Been!
Posted in General with tags achievements, Fizz, funny on October 30, 2009 by thistlefizzToday I finally earned the achievement “What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been”! I had picked up the helm and sinister squashling a couple days ago, but hadn’t finished the achievement “Check Your Head”. I still had to put a pumpkin on the head of a Draenei, and wanted to wait until people in my guild were actually online. But since I don’t seem to have been online at the same time as them recently I decided I was tired of waiting. I wanted my proto-drake! So I headed to Dalaran and walked around a bit, searching for just the right Draenei. I found one, a paladin named Lewtybewts. I really got a kick out of her name, and recognized her as one of the people I had run the Headless Horseman with. So I snuck up behind her and BAM!
Thistlefizz has earned the achievement [Check Your Head]!
Thistlefizz has earned the achievement [Hallowed Be Thy Name]!
Thistlefizz has earned the achievement [What A Long Strange Trip It's Been]!
It was very exciting, and she was a good sport about humoring me and got excited about the cool new mount. And, I promised her screen shots, so here they are:
Lewtybewts Pumpkined!
Three Achievements at once!
Look how pretty!
I’m really excited to finally be riding a proto-drake! I’ve been trying for that dang bronze one in Culling of Stratholme…but we all know how well that’s been going. So a very special thanks to Lewtybewts for being a good sport and humoring me, and for helping me wrap up a years worth of work and earn my sexy Violet Proto Drake!
As a side note, you may have noticed in my first creen shot that I’m tracking my Loremaster of Kalimdor Achievement. As of this posting, I only need 48 more quests and then it’s on to Icecrown to finish off The Loremaster!

What a Long Strange Trip it Will Be
Posted in General with tags achievements, rant, wow on October 18, 2009 by thistlefizzSo tomorrow is the start of the Hallow’s End event. By the end of it I will have my What a Long Strange Trip it’s Been achievement done and my Violet Proto-Drake. It will technically be my second Proto-Drake mount, as my shaman got one from Culling of Stratholme. But it will be the first one I can actually ride (cause my shaman still doesn’t have his epic flying). I’m really looking forward to finally getting around to riding on a dragon.
I would have gotten the mount during Brewfest like most people, but last year during the Hallow’s End event I didn’t know about the Violet Proto-Drake, and that I would have to do all the achievements in the world events to get one. And the reason I didn’t do the Hallow’s End achievements is because I absolutely hate Halloween. I hate everything about it. And so an in-game event related to it is the last thing I want to be a part of. So it actually kills me a little inside knowing that I’m going to have to get my drake via Hallow’s End.
But that’s not what I’m talking about.
