Well well.. as I was rendering this video, I spotted a WoWhead article outlining some nerfs that went out for this achievement.. today! so.. it's now a bit easier, I may do a video explaining exactly how much time this will save us, and if the nerfs are enough, we shall see.. link to that guide here: www.wowhead.com/news/massive-battle-for-azeroth-achievement-nerfs-in-patch-11-0-7-351343 Cheers for watching!
As someone who never did pvp island expeditions during bfa, I wouldn't be able to WIN 50 of them now, so that nerf alone will make it possible for me to get it all done eventually. If the pvp island achievement stayed, I'd just not bother.
As someone who did the insane title grind back when it was in its complete state, this sounds like a breath of fresh air compared to that. At least you get to actually do different things during this meta achiv...insane is just the same shit...over and over, for a year.
oof, i hear that... though those who utilize the Anniversary wont have to grind it that long for the title. since there's a 50% Classic Rep buff up, PLUS a 20% Boost to Rep in general thanks to the Anniversary, all the way until Jan 7 2025.
I’m almost certain you turn into Jani not just ride it. And I’m already done with everything for Jani. 1052 mounts atm this one will be a welcome addition.
The vast majority of this Meta I already had and over the past few weeks, I've been catching up on the ones I don't have. So, as of right now, I only need 1 more achievement and I'm just waiting for a WQ to pop up to do it, then I'll all done and will get Jani on day 1! 😃
Same here. I am glad I got both of those when they were current. However, I will wait to see what the actual requirements are when the patch comes out. I suspect that some of them will be dropped or will be changed. I also hope that rng on some of these will be improved. I still do not have the sand fishing achievement, for example.
@@avishaifishmanIs it the older pet achievement one? The one that's missing several of the later Island pets? I hope so because I am still missing the stupid ghostly whelpling?
I love the look of that mount so I'll probably try to do the achievement and then get distracted by another game and forget what I was doing when I start playing WoW more. That's what happened to me with the Shadowlands meta. 😅 To be fair I played a lot in Battle for Azeroth so I have a good chunk of the achievements done.
I am done with all the painful parts you mentioned when it was current content. I believe I just have 2 achievements to complete, and then I will have the mount.
Jani was me favorite Loa in BFA, so much so that i named my Zandalari Cat Druid after her. so now Janimala has a new purpose, she will seek to earn Jani's highest favor and earn the Mount. some of this i had already done back in BFA and i already had a long list of things i needed to get from BFA still, so it's just another reason to return to The Fourth War once more. i was gonna skip Season 2 of TWW anyway outside of leveling toons, so that's my plan as of 11.1 release.
Do we know which pvp tasks will not be required for the achievements? I can't find any info regarding Notorious and the pvp Heart of Azeroth essences, and I'm concerned that they will be required despite being impossible to earn.
@@LazyBeastGaming I saw updates to the achievement list on wowhead! Didn't see anything specifically calling out the HoA essences (I could be blind), but not having to do PVP islands is a huge relief.
I have wanted to get mecha-done for years but got tired of the layers of RNG that zone has. The fact that you have to do that for the BFA meta has me turned away from it.
... ive been missing Holographic Digitalization Relay and Encrypted Black Market Radio for years. Only thing i have left on Mecha done... so frustrating. Fortunately, i have nazjatar done. Island expeditions i have a few remaining, but not terrible. Went around and finished my treasures last week in prep. Otherwise from what i can tell not TOO bad but need to look into how much alliance stuff ill need to do or if i actually did it... will just have Mecha-Dome lock me out for another 6 years.
@@knighthawk3749 Ya, that one was my fault. For like 2 years i thought i was missing the pvp pattern from the cave... and was farming that.... already had that one and was missing this one. Now just never see him up... Oddly enough, i got a paragon chest literally today and holographic digitalization relay was in it... after years of farming. So ill just need Gao to show up 3 times and im done! :D
Hey, not a complete list but I might do a video going through every single one tbh! Which timer did you mean specifically sorry, and I’ll try name that one?
I already have Mecha Done and Undersea Usurper I was a CE raider back then so I did a lot of stuff but missed some stuff too. Most raiders ocused on prog and didn't play much outside of that and had another group I did fun things w/ like achievements and stuff but wasn't everyone.
It’s not currently live, wowhead does have a guide with a useful comment where someone’s left a script to see if you’ve completed the achievements, it’s quite a few strings of comments, but it is handy
Yup... RNG was a pain in the ass for achievement collectors in BfA, it was very frustrating. There were even some smaller achievements that couldn't be completed if you were Horde.
Which vinyl? It's been years, but I don't recall her dropping any unique ones. I know she can drop any of them, but the chances are stupid low. I know there were some tricks that made it easier to get some of them from other sources.
I am two achievements away from completed the BFA meta. But however for me my pain is the Shadowlands meta.. as I did not play that expension. Even the DF meta is somewhat painful.
I started doing this achievement. And I remembered why I hate mechagon so much. Plus I never play horde so I have to get a horde character up, not a lot of fun.
If I already did most the island expedition ones, will it carry over? I farmed a lot of the Island Expeditions and got the mounts from the vendors the required 1000s of coins and also the pets..... so I am hoping it just carries over..
i got Taivan yesterday cuz i going hard and did most of the DF achievements last summer and got burnt out and then just put forbidden reach on hold. i went in this week to finally get the mount and honestly looking back at things. i think i would do them again cuz i really liked dragon flight. nice zones good story overall my fav expansion. but fuck BFA going back and entering islands or some other shit that they thought was nice at the time is a hell naaaaaaah. other than covid there was no real reason to play bfa honestly if the mount was a bit nicer sure. but over all seems like this is pain galore and ptsd mixed in together in a bag. imagine having to go back and deal with bfa bullshit for a mount that looks subpar. this just like the shadowland mount will be a pass for me because the expansion themselves bring nothing but bad memories. im currently doing the achievements for TWW so i dont get burnet out and get it when it comes out even if the mount looks bad the zones and achievements sure do feel nicer.
At the end of Shadowlands I Was missing 17 achievements (5 glad, 12 Mythic Raiding).. Soooo back after 2.5 years and I'm now missing 1100+ hahahahaha /CRY
Meta achievements should not involve things that involve RNG or timegating. Completing all the stuff for pathfinder, sure. Getting all of the island stuff and warfront stuff done is ridiculous.
Can you please PIN your comment with the wowhead link. Thanks. Also by getting the war achievement on both factions, you can earn the "There Are Two Sides to Every Tale" achievement and the opposite faction's base mount. Horse for Horde and wolf for Alliance. I did it during SL, but it's even easier now.
Not great, adds to the general annoyances WoW gives you, earlier this year I finally gound out 10 eggs for the mount in Korthia, nothing, go to wowhead, its a 'known issue' and nothing is and has been done about it and tickets are brushed off. That is frustrating.
@@Decilag and how would I know that? Was it credited and sent to me in mail? No. Let alone they 'fixed' it allegedly halfway into the following expansion.
Do not forget about the achievement Essence Essentials, its horrible if you have not completed it yet... :c annoying quests for expedition pvp for exemple and more..
@@captain_context9991 I have mecha-gone because I wanted the mount, but I just saw that they nerfed the Island Expeditions one so I might be done with that.
@@captain_context9991 What PVP aspects? I looked through and did not see any that are required. I mean there are some pvp quests in Nazjatar, but none of them are required for the sub-meta.
WTF is Blizzard thinking. I totally understand making something prestigious by making it difficult ( I have Insane in the Membrane), but ffs. Giving a Herculean task to bored players is a 100% way to piss them off.
THAT is the problem with WOW in a nutshell "Something to do". WOW has stagnated so bad that the game is based around "Something to do" rather than to have fun. the game has Min/Maxxed itself into trying to create inane content to pander to the ADHD, and keep that sub going
This is not a healthy way to engage with the game. They could add an achievement to rp walk from one end of a continent and back and call that content and people would do it. I think more people need to self-reflect and realize these made up "achievements" are not worth your time or sanity. They're made up to fill you up with busy work during content droughts so they can keep collecting your sub.

I’m almost certain you turn into Jani not just ride it. And I’m already done with everything for Jani. 1052 mounts atm this one will be a welcome addition.
Confirmed as I've seen someone with the achieve on the PTR.
Jani is not a mount, it's a transformation. Like the Sandstone Drake.

Got big boy Taivan before WW but dang was it a grind.. but those island expeditions could be HELL
Grats on Taivan!
The /love achievement is in the War Within Meta. If you're doing that one, i recommend finding spawn sites and creating a macro.
Agreed, macros for the win with stuff like this 🙌🏻
thats just my game i have 95% of that done now and have insane title old way . lets gooooooo
Luckily I got Mecha-done and Undersea Userper done during BFA, so, that's a chunk less to worry about...

Legend
"Tell Me A Tale" Has been a personal cockblock since BFA. I've run so many islands during and since BFA and 3 quest items will never drop.
Man that sucks, I do wonder if they’ll boost the drop rates or something. Or make them more targetable somehow.. it’s doable, but will they..
@@LazyBeastGaming they just nerfed it to 10 quests on PTR, as well as the pet achievement and a few others
@@avishaifishman thank goodness!

I'm still working on Taivan, so this one is not going to happen for me any time soon

Mecha-done was pretty painful for RNG
Yup... RNG was a pain in the ass for achievement collectors in BfA, it was very frustrating. There were even some smaller achievements that couldn't be completed if you were Horde.

That's a big dog
LoL
Hell no, not going to try for it
Hell,I can't even keep up with all the secrets for the anniversary :(
It’s a hell of a time investment ain’t it. At least it’s content that’s always there and you can go do it whenever you want to, even if that’s never 😅
@LazyBeastGaming LoL
Truth
I would love to get back on top of all these secrets for the anniversary
I will never bother to grind for this as I don't care, yet I watched the entire video bc your voice is so soothing lmao
Haha appreciate that mate thank you! 😂
AGREED! I think audiobooks and voice overs should be on the cards!!
Haha. I only miss Expedition Leader and from this only the Venture Co. Business Plans...
Island Expeditions still one of the best Expansion Features.
I started doing this achievement. And I remembered why I hate mechagon so much. Plus I never play horde so I have to get a horde character up, not a lot of fun.
The Insane Title!
And some of these requirements just got nerfed with today’s PTR patch.
Can’t believe this news came out as I was uploading the video 😅
Yeah, I figured. It take time to edit a video.
If I already did most the island expedition ones, will it carry over? I farmed a lot of the Island Expeditions and got the mounts from the vendors the required 1000s of coins and also the pets..... so I am hoping it just carries over..
I am still missing one pet I gave up on because it's so rare. Ghostly whelpling, I think.
I did a lot of stuff in BFA but nope I shall not do the ones left as they drove me to madness already when current so no thanks .... not worth for me
That’s fair enough, respecting your own time and sanity!
Since Blizzard will soon add Houses for players in WOW - they are preparing us to actually LIVE in the game with such achievements xd
You’re not wrong 😂
Yeah, I'm not doing this. If I couldn't be bothered with Mecha-done back in BFA, I sure as hell cba with this one.
I neeed that title.

Why not? It’s a nice throwback to old expansions making some of the previous content more relevant.

I expect they will keep going back to keep adding them.
Nope. I spend far too much time in the game as it is.
