Gnomeregan Achievement to become Feat of Strength?

-
I am one of those Horde players that have yet to complete Gnomeregan. One, it's hard to get to, especially if you (like me) didn't do the quests to get in there and second it's a very big zone. Last time I tried to solo it, I got lost in the entry areas. Worst off, this enormous zone, that you can't mount and ride through, lots of running around (lost).

Coming soon, it sounds like this area may not even be available:
For Mekkatorque, however, his plan goes beyond just reacquiring lost technology. The retaking of Gnomeregan will determine his place in history, either as the high tinker who lost the gnomes' beloved capital, or the one who reestablished it as the center of innovation on Azeroth.
Operation: Gnomeregan is about to get underway.(source)

 I guess that I am going to need to revisit this zone, because I really, really want to complete the Classic Dungeonmaster achievement. I am not too worried about Cataclysm closing down this zone, but if I am bored, I should fire up the Wow-Pro Instance guide.

    Hey Elkagorasa, perhaps it's not too late to do the Orgrimmar/Booty Bay quests? Seems so much easier than actually getting to Loch Modan by foot/hoof.

    I've got a good map for the full Gnomeregan clear on my blog. Perhaps you'll find it easier to get around especially if you're like me and vertically challenged.

    If it's really just that one dungeon left for your achievement I think it's worth the effort. Do it!

    Thanks for the doc, it definitely will come in handy. I like how you broke down the map on a boss to boss basis. Plus in these times of portal to the start, the graveyard run is a nice touch.

    Unfortunately the starter quest Chief Engineer Scooty is considered completed and the portal unavailable if you don't do it at the right time. See here.

    Yeah, Gnomeregan and LBRS are my last two classic dungeons. I've heard LBRS is a bugger to complete the quest chains as you have to run in/out to do it.

Bee Math

So you've finally realized that the Bee Mount is the absolute BEST mount in the entire game. You want one, no, NEED one right now. OK, so what do you need to make this happen. Step 0: Go to the auction house and buy a few monel-hardened stirrups . Using the stirrups is the best way to harvest jelly. No need to dismount unless you are attacking something. Try not to. Step 1: Head over to wowhead and read what they said over there. This will give you all the details on how to get started. Turning off ground clutter really does help. Step 1B: set your hearthstone to the inn in Brannadam. It's a bit of a pain if your dalaran hearth is on cooldown, but nice to not have to fly back to stormsong each time. Step 2: You've now finished the intro quest chain, and are planning to harvest lots of thin jelly. You need to level your baby bee up 10,000 (3,000 for baby, another 7,000 for mature) health points to 'mature' and each thin jelly feed this little guy 6, SIX. Th

Are you Mecha-Done?

One of the most exciting mounts to come out this last expansion (personally) is the Model-W. This wheel mount comes in two variants, new and rusty. The rusty edition is dropped from Rustfeather with a 0.5% drop rate. The Model-W is a shiny edition that comes from a fairly lengthy bunch of achievements. I have been working on this achievement on my Alliance Warlock for some time now and thought it was time to look up the remaining portions. (Note: Comparing achievements with my alts, it appears the meta-achievements are BOA. My son has Making the Mount marked completed, yet hasn't completed the quest chain.) You can find the achievement under: Character > Achievements > Exploration > Battle For Azeroth It has 10 meta-achievements included in it. I believe the very first achievement " Unnamed Branch " is from completing the main storyline which concludes with killing King Mechagon in the dungeon "Operation: Mechagon". (update: as soon as
