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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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?
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
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 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.
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..
... 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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.

thats just my game i have 95% of that done now and have insane title old way . lets gooooooo

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 🙌🏻
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.
"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 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!!
Island Expeditions still one of the best Expansion Features.
do you have a list of all your addons? that timer looks super helpful
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?
@@LazyBeastGaming those sorta circular iris timers, when you were playing your boomy against Fetid Devourer etc. those look fantastic
Good news is I have three 80's that did a bunch of the early endgame for bfa the mecha-done and Naz will suck but doable
Is this meta achievement live or do we need to go to wowhead to see all the achievements we need?
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
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.
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!
They removed the reining champion thank god. Nerfed quite a few of the achieves too.
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
Been failing horribly on and off for years on the vinyl drop from the siren rare 😂
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.
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 😂

I am still missing one pet I gave up on because it's so rare. Ghostly whelpling, I think.
The Insane Title!
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.

As someone with the insane title, this is like 6 billion times worse hahahaha
you can at least technically get the insane title in a day
I’m glad you agree as someone who’s actually got the title 😅
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.
yea, make everything easy so we would be done in 1 week :)
It is eaiser than the SL one. That has such low drop rates, takes years to get 1 item
Which SL one?

Ah the 10 korthia eggs mount isn’t working?! Did not know that, but that sucks majorly.. fancy not fixing it 😬
Its been fixed for 3 months now but okay
@@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.
For Island Expeditions I just need ONE event that I have never seen. Otherwise Im done with those.
I am in the same boat, but I think I need 2.
@@knighthawk3749
And ALL of Mecha-Gone. But other than that, Im pretty much done.
@@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.

At least I have the Nazjetar done. Which must also be nerfed as there are several pvp aspects of it which cant be done now.

wait why is an old expansion getting a new meta achievement? so confused.
Why not? It’s a nice throwback to old expansions making some of the previous content more relevant.
I’m guessing it’s cos people have engaged well with the shadowlands and DF ones and they just thought, “why not!”
I expect they will keep going back to keep adding them.
