Top 7 Kick Ass WotLK Achievements

7. The Explorer

Tired of the generic pick up 5 of X, kill 10 of Y? Yeah…me too, which is why I’m pretty excited for the challenge of The Explorer! Those who think they are up to the challenge will become a regular Magellan as they sail the seas and explore every zone, every nook and cranny of all 4 continents. For accomplishing this feat you’ll be awarded with a new title, The Explorer.

6. Make Love, Not Warcraft

Even blizzard has a pretty good sense of humor every once and a while. All you have to do to complete this achievement is shoot off a quick /hug on a player you’ve just killed. Personally I think this will be one of the easiest achievements I’ll have to do, especially considering all the /gloat and /spit practice I’ve got in over the years.

5. Leading the Calvary

This achievement isn’t for the casual gamer, not by any stretch. To Lead the Calvary and ride above mere mortals on your Albino Drake you’ll have to acquire a staggering 50 mounts. That’s, right…50! Don’t worry though, you can use 60% ground mounts, 100% ground mounts, 60% flying mounts, and 100% flying mounts to reach that total. If you try to complete this in patch 3.0 you’ll be in for a tough grind, there’s only around 85 total mounts available for TBC, and this includes all rare / trading card mounts / arena drakes / other things you probably won’t have.

Once the Wrath of the Lich King is released there will be a host of new ground and flying mounts, making this achievement much easier.

4. Leroy Jenkins

What would this top list by without a mention of the legendary Leroy Jenkins. The video made popular shortly after WoW’s release and launched the legend of Leroy is now its own achievement! Succeed where Leroy failed and slay 50 dragon whelps in under 15 seconds in Upper Black Rock Spire.

If you haven’t seen the video make sure you check it out! Leroy Jenkins Video

3. Grand Caravan Mammoth

Nothing too complicated here…Obtain a Grand Caravan Mammoth from Mei Francis in Dalaran. No problem right? Or so you thought! Only professional Chinese farmers and Zuggy’s Gold Mastery Guide users will have any hope of completing this achievement (if they want to still have a life that is!).

The Grand Caravan Mammoth costs a mammoth…pun intended, 15,000g! Though it’s well worth the costs, you can carry up to 3 passengers on your mount, including vendors should you choose to invite them to hop on! I love this achievement because it’s the first true money sink that says nothing more than…

HEY LOOK AT ME! Anyone else ready for Mammoth trains in Orgrimmar?

2. Avast Ye, Admiral!

At long last all us bloodsail scallywags are getting our just deserves! This achievement isn’t one to be taken lightly, and for this reason it’s making my list. To complete this achievement and gain the title of Bloodsail Admiral you must get to friendly with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. Sounds easy enough, right? Not exactly, in order to get to friendly you’ll be killing thousands of booty bay goblins to increase your reputation, in doing so you’ll not only be tanking your booty bay reputation, but all Steamweedle Cartel factions. All the way to 0/36,000 hated with every faction of the Steamweedle Cartel.

This will prevent you from doing anything associated with goblins until you get your reputation back up. So, do ye think ye are up to thy challenge, matey!?

1. For the Horde! / For the Alliance!

Whether it’s raiding, battlegrounds or arena I love anything that brings people together for the purposes for domination, and domination is what these achievements are all about. In order to complete this achievement you must kill all 4 opposing faction leaders, a feat easier said than done. Most of these faction leaders will require a raid of at least 40 members.

Those who accept and complete this daunting challenge will be rewarded with a black war bear mount.

You’ve heard my top 7 now I want to hear yours! What achievements do you think should make the list?

Leroy Jenkins Achievement

Best achievement ever? In a word, yes! If you’ve been around world of warcraft for any stretch of time then you’re certainly heard and probably seen the now legendary Leroy Jenkins video. If not…you can check it out below!

In honor of this WoW legend Blizzard has created the new achievement…

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy!

Kill 50 rookery whelps within 15 seconds.

For slaying the 50 whelps in 15 seconds you receive “Jenkins” as a title. Pretty funny, can’t wait to see how many players put in name changes for various iterations of “Leroy”.
