aberrus the shadowed crucible

Now that The War Within has started, I thought I’d take a few minutes to blog about how the last two seasons of Dragonflight went for me. (And then I’ll forget to publish it for a bit.)

Season 3

Mythic+

I earned Keystone Hero and all ports on the following:

Resto shaman (2753)
Fury warrior (2740) – previous best was KSM
Disc priest (2718) – previous best was KSM
Frost mage (2685) – previous best was only KSE1

The “all ports” don’t matter as much now that teleports are finally account-wide, but it was a fun goal.

Raiding

Amirdrassil heroic and Ahead of the Curve on the same four characters – resto shaman, disc priest, fury warrior, and frost mage (first time on mage pushing past LFR).

I also cleared Amirdrassil LFR on every other class while transmog hunting and earned Glory of the Dream Raider.

What else?

I obtained Fyr’alath the Dreamrender, the legendary two-hand axe, on my warrior.

This is the first time I’ve had a legendary weapon when it was current.

I got all the rewards from Azerothian Archives.

In Love Is in the Air, I did the new quests.

I also got all the rewards except X-45 Heartbreaker and the gold donation achievement.

gem got the super rare mount though!

In the Hearthstone’s 10th Anniversary event I earned all rewards and got the bag on 6 toons.

I got the Swift White Hawkstrider from Magister’s Terrace.

I also earned the 400 mounts achievement and the mount that comes with it.

What else did I do during season 3?

Earned the LFR and normal class sets on every class

Season 4

Mythic+

Keystone Explorer on disc priest (652)

Raiding

Finished the three awakened raids (Vault of the Incarnates, Aberrus, and Amirdrassil) on resto shaman, pres evoker, and fury warrior.

Radiant Echoes

I farmed a lot in the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event. I bought every reward and earned all the under level 70 rewards as well. I also reached level 70 on 7 additional characters. With the 13 I already had, that’s 20 max level toons. With the 16 I leveled in Remix, I ended Dragonflight with 36 max level characters:

2 priests
3 mages
3 locks
3 druids
2 rogues
3 monks
2 demon hunters
3 shaman
3 hunters
4 evokers
4 warriors
2 paladins
2 DKs

What else?

I finally got Nasz’uro, the Unbound Legacy (the evoker legendary) to drop. After finishing the quests, I fully upgraded it.

What else did I do during season 4?

Earned the Northrend Cup transmog
Azerothian Archives – all research done
Photography world quests
Fully upgraded Fyr’alath the Dreamrender (legendary axe)
Got dragon armor from Midsummer Fire Festival boss and all new and remaining rewards
Every achievement, every purchasable reward, and a ton of drops in Remix

Season 3 is about to finish, and I never posted about the season 2 transmog I earned. I know it’s not the most exciting aspect of the game, but I spend a significant amount of time chasing these sets. Let’s take a look

Class sets

Shaman – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I love the red heroic tint. I could use the mythic tint too. The normal is okay, and I don’t think I’d ever use the LFR tint.

Warrior – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

None of the four Aberrus tints are bad for warriors. I doubt I’d use the LFR or normal ones after unlocking the heroic and mythic ones, but they’re all cool.

Mage – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are all fantastic. I like the pink LFR tint a ton! I don’t think I’d use normal much, but I like the peach vibes from heroic too.

Priest – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I don’t like the LFR tint, but I do like the normal and heroic priest tints. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d ever use them. I just have other sets I like more. If I was going shadow, maybe I’d use heroic!

Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the hunter class set. I think they all look great!

Evoker – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the evoker class set. It’s all terrible. That’s all I have to say.

Druid – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are the LFR and normal tints for the druid set. I think they both look really cool, but surprisingly, I like the LFR best.

Paladin – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for the paladin.

Death Knight – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for DK as well.

Rogue – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR on this alt.

Demon Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

And just LFR for Demon Hunter.

Warlock – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR!

Monk – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible?

Nothing! I didn’t have a monk at max level in season 2. Hm, maybe in the season 3 post…

Mail gear

These sets are for all mail-wearing classes.

Time Rifts (mail)

These are the two mail sets from the time rift vendors. I’m not sure I’d ever use them.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (mail)

I collected four the Cavern Delver’s Gear tints – time rifts & Dawn of the Infinites (bronze), world quests and world drops, campaign, and Suffusion Camps and PVP. I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps.

Plate gear

These sets are for all plate-wearers.

Season 2 PVP Aspirant (plate)

The aspirant set for plate-wearers is cool.

Time Rifts (plate)

These are the two sets from Time Rifts vendors available to all plate classes.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (plate)

Like the mail versions of this set, I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps best. Unlike mail classes, I didn’t unlock the campaign version of the plate sets.
