[Tripping the Rifts] Achievement

-
Tripping the Rift (Amazon)
No, I am not referring to some Sci-Fi network cartoon, featuring aliens, but a Feat of Strength based on the Cataclysm pre-launch events. This achievement requires you to kill ten elementals at each of the various types of rifts. These rifts are spawning all over Azerorth.

In one night, I killed elementals in Stonard (air), Blasted Lands (fire) and Darkshore (water). The rifts spawn on a roughly 50 minute timer and last for approximately 10 minutes. This means you could (like I) run from Blasted Lands to Stonard and get both in one time frame.(Note: no way to track which elementals you already killed, so keep notes or do it quick).

The best list of spawn points I've found is on Wowpedia. This site contains a table for each elemental containing zones, levels and coordinates. Find a good spot, and camp it. The first night, I partied with a guildies and we camped two spots concurrently. Calling out in vent when they arrived.



If you kill (or are present for 10) elementals at your level range (i.e. 70-80), once a day you can pickup and turn in a daily quest with your local Earthen Ring representative. This quest awarded Elk 13g.

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...

Welcome New Adventurer to World of Warcraft!

 Hello adventurer,  I am excited to see you have joined us on this journey. You are joining other fellow champions, like yourself, to save the planet Azeroth from any number of villains.  Step 1: Pick a realm.  If you are a fan of multi-verse fiction, think of each realm as a different phase of the same planet. In IT terms, each realm is a cluster group. The differences here are only the population of people who call it home. With recent changes, realm lines are blurred so much that the realm doesn't really matter. You can share your gold and equipment across realms using the "warband" or account-bound bank. You can join guilds across realms (even factions).  Step 2: Character creation.  Build the character you enjoy. Experiment. Keep in mind that the gender and appearance can be changed in-game at the barber shop, but the race and class cannot. (unless you want to spend money). If you have friends or family playing with you, create a character in the same...

Pick up 2 rep relic quests (turn in titan relics while there) Pick up the elemental shard quest Find and kill the world boss See if Storm's event is going on (this week world boss is in the primal future so 2-fer).
