Mr. Smite's Brass Compass is pretty great. Even if you don't fully realize it, everyone needs a little Mr. Smite in their life and his removal from the game was a grave crime against all.Now, if only they would do something about that awful 2-hour cooldown...
The Day after Christmas Ashes of Al'ar dropped for me and he was my 150th mount achievement.
I was most excited to achieve the original "Loremaster" title.I have always been a quest junkie. Even before achievements, I had one Alliance and one Horde character that were dedicated to completing every quest in the game. I researched Thottbott, Wowhead, and all the game sites I could to find quests, even the little breadcrumb quests, to make sure I wasn't missing a single one. There were some quests I assumed I would never achieve, not being a raider, but I was determined to complete as many as possible, just to know I'd done it.I was pretty pumped when the achievement system came out with the Wrath expansion, but I was especially excited about the Loremaster achievement. I felt it was validation for all my hard work and obsessive completionist tendancies. I had everything but the new Wrath zone achievements already done!It took me about two weeks to work my way through the Wrath zones, and every zone completed was one step closer to to my goal. Finally, all I had left was Icecrown. To my dismay, I wasn't able to complete the zone by myself, as there were just too many group quests. I begged and pleased for my guild to come help me, and I three of us worked our way through those final quests.Having completed the last one, I flew to the airship to turn them in. My heart was pounding harder and harder with each one, until finally I had just one more quest left. I handed in the quest, and watched the achievements light up my screen. "Icecrown: The Final Goal," "Loremaster of Northrend," and of course "The Loremaster."12/10/08. I felt like I had won the game.
"Its over 9000" - great and embarrassing at the same time. I was among the first of my friends to get it so it revealed how much of a wow nerd I am, but I'm a happy wow nerd :)

when the Ashes of Al'ar dropped i was allmost screaming :D
Id Have to say the biggest thing ive achieved in WoW was the Bloodsail admiral title. took forever to gain the rep for it.
Ashes of Al'ar! I have adored this mount since Day 1.. not because it is rare, but because of the beauty of it. I never thought to obtain it.
My 176 mounts i have collected over the years <3
getting my girlfriend to play with me was biggest achievement. and also thunderfury after 80 or so baron kills for that stupid left binding
I think for me, it was 'It's Over Nine Thousand'. Even thought it may be trivial to most, I felt it was a nice nod to the culmination of all the things that I've seen and done one my several years on WoW now.
Sounds sappy, but my "feel good" achievement was back in about 2005. A guildy of mine and myself were the only druids of the group. Both striving to prove ourselves useful healers and both having a genuine blast doing so. We had the complete set of WIldheart gear ...except for the helmet.I'll be damned if the Darkmaster would Never drop what you needed! *snickers*Well, one night we were both in the group. I the healer and the other healer dpsing. ...it dropped.Sidewinder (i think was the voice chat we used..) lit up like Christmas. I never heard our friends make such a racket.I got all excited and butterfly guts, Woo-freaking-hoo! Damn thing finally dropped! (Think everyone's been there with something or another).I, to this day, can't explain why I did it..I whispered the leader to give the hood to the other druid. Without saying anything to them first, of course.I slipped into a side room and hearthed out so there could be no argument.Bam.Eventually, as most do, the guild went their own way.Over the years I've popped back on the old server and, to my continued surprise, each time I do I always get a heartwarming cheer from a certain druid that just doesn't know when to quit.Here's to ya bro,.... and to all of us that just don't know when to quit.Damn Warcraft. ;)
I have two big achievements/goals that I can't choose between. The first would be obtaining my Fiery Warhorse from Karazhan after several weeks of farming. And the second is obtaining my rogue's legendary daggers back in Dragon Soul. :D
I like stuff!
finding and achieving the Time-Lost Drake
Spending 6 years farming for the Fiery Reins. Best looking horse out there, excited to finally have it!
