So much to do, so little time...

When you take a break from WoW and come back closer to the end of an expansion you find yourself in a rush to catch up and there is never enough time to do EVERYTHING you wish to get accomplished. I have 4 kids, a man and a home to take care of as well. None of which can be neglected for a game, and although I do have my weak moments, I can usually tear myself away from the game to get things done, like cleaning :P but in WoW I have a list of things I want to accomplish:

  • I need to get my reputations up and I despise doing dailies, so that in itself hasn't been easy for me. I miss slapping on a tabard and running instances for rep.
  • I need to work on my legendary quest line and due to some bad luck I can't seem to get the drops I need. Mind you, Moya hit 90 about a month ago, it's not that I've been slacking, my priority has been set on gearing her for raid first and foremost.
  • I need to continue on my quest for transmog gear for Moya. I can't seem to get a full set for any of the outfits that I like.
  • I need to level up the rest of my characters, starting with my hunter. I have a project I want to do with her and her rare pet farming for the blog.

  • I need to level up Moya's professions, most of which are at 1. Unlike my shaman, whom I have been playing since 2006, I simply didn't have time to level her secondary professions at the same time as her. It irks me to have fishing and cooking barely off the ground and I believe your main character should have everything maxed out. Unfortunately I just don't have the time for everything on this list and to do that as well. 
  • I've also been getting her ready for 5.4. As one of the main raid healers, her gear needs to be in tip top shape and as high as I can get it.
  • And last but definitely not least, I still need to make money in this game. Mind you I am by no means rich. In fact I'm usually broke. The most gold I've ever had was 40k and for a lot of people that's just pocket change. None the less it's enough for me to maintain my characters and spoil them and Izzy whenever I can. That's not to say that I don't want to make even more gold, so that's something that I'm working on with the help of Nev over at Auction House Addict.
So I ask, how do you deal with the pressure of changing mains? Do you level their profession or do you continue using your old main for that? How do you manage your time and what are your priorities after a hiatus from WoW?

With 5.4 just around the corner I'm feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with my inability to catch up fast enough.

The Lorewalkers...

The Lorewalkers are an MoP faction who's exalted reputation can be easily acquired. There are no daily or zone quests to grind. You can gain reputation simply by visiting monuments throughout Pandaria, completing achievements and listening to folktales. With the organized path I have provided below you can reach exalted in about an hour.

Once you've reached exalted you can buy the Lorewakers Tabard and the Disc of the Red Flying Cloud.

I did all of this on Möya yesterday while I gathered screenshots and found the easiest and fastest path for you to take. So today I'm doing it on Izzy's priest, Rahdiggah, to test my quide :)

Start in the Northern section of the Jade Forest and follow the coordinates. By the time you reach Kun-Lai Summit you have all the achievements completed. Remember, you don't need to dismount for any of these, unless it's in a building of course, all you have to do is be on the ground.

I hope he enjoyed that. Wish I had taken a better look at his name, Grimdwarf or something like that, anyway!)

As you can see, Rah started at 0 neutral with the Lorewalkers and with 10,325 Achievement Points. I headed off to the Jade Forest at 9:55 AM.


At 10:59 AM I was finished with all the achievements giving her a total of 10,425 points. That's 100 achievement points in an hour, not bad! Plus each one of those gives 2000+ rep depending on your racial/guild perk.


Once you're done in Kun-Lai Summit you can head to the Shrine to pick up all the mail from Lorewalker Cho. Each one of those is a quest to turn in which will give you 3000+ rep, again it depends on your racial/guild perk whether you get more or not.


Head over to the Seat of Knowledge just above the Mogu'shan Palace to run in your quests.  This will take you a little bit of time because every time you turn in a quest he tells you a story. At this point you can just put you're volume up and walk away until you hear a gong, then come back to turn in the next one. Of course if you like WoW lore than by all means, enjoy!


By the time you're done with all your quests you will be exalted. Rah just happened to also get his 45 exalted rep achievement from this.


Then head over to the Lorewalkers Quartermaster for your tabard and mount! She's on the left side of the room by the sleeping tiger.

So I'm leaving Rah on her flying disc for Izzy to find when he gets home :D


And here's Möya rocking her tabard and disc!


I hope this guide helps you with your Lorewalker Achivements, if you have any questions or find any typos in the coordinates please let me know :)
