New season, new easy to get achievements. Hit over 42k! The start of this season was pretty easy-peasy so I should be able to focus on my collections sooner than later, too.

My coworkers and I have started referring to our morning coffee as "pre-potting" and now I feel extra productive in the mornings. Start the day with a food buff to make sure you're extra prepared for the day ahead. #warcraft

I've been keeping a running total of the mounts I've gotten over the month - almost 30 including dupes - and will be posting my collection when it's all over. We've had a lot of fun as a guild running together and sharing tips on speed running these old instances!

Ministry of Defense @modaeriepeak.bsky.social · Jul 27

Many of our guild members partook in the Collector's Bounty event and claimed many rare mounts for their own! Congrats everyone!

A response from the legends themselves! Have a killer Monday, team 😎

It's been a really long journey to get to this point, but we did it. It's been a community effort and I'm so grateful for everyone who helped along the way!

The Ministry of Defense mythic raid team got their first CE achievement kill tonight!!! @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com #undermine #WarWithin

Hair patch notes for July.

Raef with long blue hair and a pink undercut. The blue of her hair accentuates the color of her glasses frames and her eyes.

Finally bothered to finish the grind for the last two crackling shards for Alunira. Super easy, just bounced between 2 spawns and watched some YouTube in between. Mount #1113 for me in #worldofwarcraft .

Reminder to all the #warcraft #worldofwarcraft collectors to change your covenant to night fae before doing all the timewalking coming up! Then you can get the timewalking related wild shapes.

Signed, someone who keeps forgetting they're venthyr :(

God, the mage guy is a PITA as a balance druid. 45 second interrupt and he casts it SO often. But hey, now I only need to farm out around another 10k currency, which I can do significantly easier :) #warcraft #worldofwarcraft

As a bonus, this pushed me over 41k achievement points - on my way to 42!

A number of achievements related to Horrific Visions Revisited in World of Warcraft.

The Corruption of the Aspect mount, and the Scourage of the Aspects battle pet, which are rewards from spending currency related to Horrific Visions Revisted in World of Warcraft.

The mount it's based off of, Heart of the Aspects, predates Dragonflight by 10 years. The model got a slight change / upgrade when the slitherdrake came out (uses some of its animations) but that's it :)

I've been doing this silly World Quest on and off since it came out in DF, and I only JUST now got this toy to drop. What is the point of a random-drop reward? Blizz has done this a few times over the years and it's always a pain. On to other farms - up to 809 toys / 744 useable :) #warcraft

Mid raid? Shoulder time. 40 minutes of a 55 minute work meeting? Shoulder time.

Kahlua knows one thing, and that is that he is JUST small enough to hang out on my shoulder without discomfort, but JUST big enough to be in the way all the same.

Hey there #worldofwarcraft mount hunters!

If you're looking for the phosphorescent stone drake, I'm your girl!

I've picked up dozens of these over the years. If you're on US realms, just leave a comment - I'll be in touch when I get one! (It may be a few weeks, but I get at least a few a month :))

Hair patch notes. Kind of reminds me of those candy dots that came on the paper rolls.

There is a 20% tax on them when you transfer, but they *are* warbound!

On a whim I logged into my Timeless Isles toon, found myself in the cave, and killed the Jadefire Spirit. I only need one more item for "Going to Need a Bigger Bag!" Time to farm crabs, I guess. #warcraft #achievements

Glowing Green Ash drop from Jadefire Spirit, one of the required drops for the World of Warcraft achievement "Going to Need a Bigger Bag".
