Great Achievements

Last night, I got two awesome achievements done. The first will result in me getting my Hallowed title. Right when I awoke, Xenoxa wanted to run the Horseman - and of course I was ready to go. We quickly found a tank, assembled some other DPS and went to the Monastery.

Four of us made it there quickly and while we waited for the fifth to arrive, Xenoxa and I decided to raise our unarmed skill a little with some Spirit Boxing.


After our fifth arrived, we had five shots at the boss, and on the fifth...he dropped...the one...the only...the Sinister Squashling!

We all rolled for it and wouldn't you know, I rolled a 1. Luckily, the great people of the greatest guild in the land, even though they rolled higher, gave the pet to me! I love you guys. DarkLight Resolution is the greatest bunch of people I've had the pleasure to group with. So we ported out (bonus points if you can tell where I ported to) and I took some pictures with my new pet:



He's just so amazing as he collapses into a jack-o-lantern if you're not moving for a while, and his short legs have to work overtime to keep up with you while you're on a mount. This addition brings me to 77 of 88 pets! And I love them all.

Following the Horseman runs, I got back into my regular schedule and went off and did my dailies. Utilizing money made from the dailies, I bought mounts #47, #48, #49, and #50 giving me the awesome achievement, Leading the Cavalry. My new Albino Drake is amazing, but he was unwilling to pose for any photos last night, so hopefully I'll get those up soon. The guild was quite impressed with my latest achievement and I'm working my way up on the Loremaster achievements.

I now have 2 quests to do in BRD, 4 to do in Uldaman, and a couple of those are chains, so hopefully I'll get much closer to the 700 (I'm currently stuck at 686/700 quests). I might have some time to complete those quests tonight providing the instances cooperate. After I complete the Eastern Kingdoms, I might head to Kalimdor, but there are other achievements I'd like to complete - most notably Old Ironjaw.

All Hallow's Eve

I woke up today and started fishing in Ironforge for Old Ironjaw - and then I saw it - Trick or Treat! And so it begins. I quickly set off and found the treats in the Ironforge in and started to get a group going for the Headless Horseman. We traveled to Goldshire, picked up the quest and then trekked up to the Scarlet Monastery. All told, after completing the quest and switching people out for others, we had 13 tries on him (he bugged out on one). In the 13 tries, we of course got a ton of rings, three brooms, one Hallowed Helm, and no squashlings.

I shall try again tomorrow I guess, but with the achievement Sinister Calling, I fear there will be more competition than usual for my pet. Luckily, as long as I run with the guild, I might get lucky as people there know I'm a pet collector, but I don't want to deprive them of their achievements, so it's a fine line to walk. They really need to increase the drop rate if they want people to get the Hallowed title.

After fighting the Horseman, I plan on traveling the world to trick and treat and also do whatever other achievements pop up for me.
