The recently introduced achievements in World of Warcraft are like bright, shiny, irresistible candy. I want them all, but I am interested just looking at them at times.
Of course, there are a lot there that I am probably never going to get… but then if they were all easy, they wouldn’t really be achievements.
On the other hand, there are some in there I am surprised I do not have already, especially in the exploration category. Zones I thought I had traveled to death seem to have one or two locations off in a corner that I have missed over the years.
And then there are some locations I cannot believe I missed. For example, The Farstrider Lodge in Loch Modan.
Yes, it is a bit out of the way, over on the southeast edge of the zone, but it seems to be a sizeable outpost, with vendors, a few trainers, and quests to be done. There were quests that I missed!
Anyway, that finished off Loch Modan for me.
Now to go find that spot I missed in the Wetlands.
Ah yes, I went there a few times, never seemed to be anyone else around though.

Odd. I thought there was a Hunter quest that took you there at one time or another…
After finally getting patched, I started looking through achievements and while Blizz seems to have caught most over the past few years, they did not get all of them. So its a trip down memory lane for me too.
Thats ok. I still miss pre cataclysm (TBC) Azeroth.

You would think that me, the guy with three hunters over level 40, would know the answer to that question.
I have run across a number of out of the way locations I never quite found in my travels.
It seems to have missed Strat and Scholo among my accomplishments. Well, I’m sure Earl won’t mind a trip back to either!

IIRC there is no specific hunter quest that takes you to Farstrider Lodge. However, as a hunter player I can tell you there is a decent green bow as a quest reward there at the end of the quest chain. I always made it a point to do that quest as a hunter as it’s one of the first good bows you can get unless you get a lucky drop or have the cash to buy one.
And here I am responding to old posts…bored at work.
