If there was an achievement for being frustrated and road blocked by game bugs, I think I’d have earned it. Outlands seems particularly finicky in the number of quests needed for completing Loremaster. With only Netherstorm left to go, I have four zones for which I have still not completed the Loremaster related achievements.

You may wonder why I had a flurry of posts over the last month or more and then…. nothing for the last week and a half. The cause of it is simple: Dragon Age. The game is amazing and pretty much everything I could want in an RPG. The combat is challenging, yet mostly intuitive. The story is intriguing. I have been sucked in completely. I don’t really expect to surface for another couple of weeks, though I’ll try to post something between then and now.

On Sunday morning, I finally finished the last few quests I needed to wrap up Loremaster of Kalimdor. I have to admit, I was nervous over the last twenty quests or so. It certainly looked like there weren’t going to be enough to carry me all the way to the end, and I figured I’d either have to do some instance quests or hunt for dropped quest-starting items. In the end, though, I still had two quests left in a chain once I was done.

This past weekend, I had some good luck in two separate pet-related ways. First, I finally had a Sinister Squashling show up in one of my Treat bags. Now I just need the Helm and I can realistically get the Hallowed title and achievement this year. Second, as I was working on the Loremaster of Kalimdor title by questing in Dustwallow, I saw Dart shoot past me. I sprinted to catch up to him, and he dropped the Darting Hatchling for me, which is my new favorite companion. Every once in a while, he runs really fast away from me, then in another direction, and then back to me. It’s entirely too cute.

I have now done the Crocolisks in the City fishing daily quest three times. Each time, I have received a different bucket (pet baby crocolisk) as a reward. That in itself may not be terribly surprising. The drop rate is rumored to be around 60%. What does seem surprising (and great!) to me is that each time has given me a different baby crocolisk. Last night, I added Toothy to my collection. That means I have only Muckbreath left to go.
