I remember the day achievements went live. I spent a good portion of that first day just before Wrath‘s release hunting down and completing the few achievements I could definitely complete. Well Read? Done. To All the Squirrels I’ve Loved Before? Well, I couldn’t quite complete that, but I did dutifully go /love every animal I could, aside from the few in Northrend I couldn’t get to yet. When Wrath was in its waning days and I was bored, I’d work on obscure achievements I didn’t have. Bloody Rare and Frostbitten were both completed during this time.

I haven’t really focused so much on achievements this expansion. However, my guild is on the brink of finishing heroic content, which means from that point out, we’ll just be farming various content, I’m guessing. And that sounds like it’s just about time for my achievement obsession to kick in again — as well as finishing off tracking down and nabbing those few pesky mounts and pets in game that I haven’t gotten yet.

In Mists, all these achievements I’ve got on my main will automatically be granted to my alts, which I was pretty pleased about. But then I started to think about it.
