You did miss some pretty important collector addons yes, and it touches on an aspect of collecting in this game that I haven't seen extensively covered on RU-vid, sharding. The addons are RareTracker and NPC Time. RT shows your current shard ID. It also tracks the last time a given rare was killed on that shard, getting that info either from your own kill or another user of the RT addon. NPC Time shows the time a NPC has been alive, whether respawned or freshly spawned in a new shard, and the current shard ID when mousing over any NPC. How is this useful? Well recently I used it to get the Breezebiter mount. I quickly changed shards by joining groups in the zone, checking if the rare's up, rinse and repeat. As it spawns right next to the dig event and it was current content at the time I sharded all the time anyway. I could tell which shard I was in and whether the rare was dead or unknown there with RT, and instantly tell whether the shard was freshly spawned by mousing over a NPC and seeing how long it was alive. This is obviously useful for many, many rares that are actually rare spawns with poor drop rates and thus would be harder to get in the next expansion but has the disadvantage of only being really useful in current content. It was great for Silence, for example. Which brings up another good point about collecting, it's about maximizing your mount count over time, efficiency, not hardcore grinding. Before I go after new content grinding hardcore, I always think to myself "Would this be much much easier or harder in a year with nobody around and another ten levels?" Hope this helps, love the channel!
Oh that's interesting. I'll have to look into those addons for when I do more open world mount/rare farming. Funny story, I accidently got Breezebiter on my first try flying to a Community Feast. Thank you for the advice, I'm actually pretty new to WoW and Collecting in general, so anything helps!
@@UweaGamingSure thing! There's more nuance to it once you pick all the low hanging fruit as I have. Highly suggest using this technique for Breezebiter on season 4 when the weekly sends people to cook soup and/or do the dig. It'll be much harder when not current content. Edit: You lucked out on that drop, took me 130 kills! Well, the technique could make for an interesting video, anyway.
Hi, I’m a avid achievement, mount, toy, pet collector. For achievement wise for dungeons and raids a must have is an add on called instance achievement tracker. It gives a list and a guide for the achievements in the instance you are in, and calls out progress during the boss fights and confirmation once you met the criteria before killing the boss. I used to do achievement runs for people and gotten 100s of mounts for others. I can see you have just started your achievement journey. If you get stuck or need help or want an achievement friend let me know :)
I'll look into that! I've been wanting to do more of the glory dungeon/raid achievements for the points and mounts locked behind them. That might have been an addon one of my guildmates used when we did Glory of the Dream Raider. Sure, I'm always looking for more people to do collection and M+ stuff!
Great video. I was actually trying to figure out that quest tracker addon yesterday or the day before. Do yourself a huge favor and get eAlign Updated. It can put a grid on your screen at any time to help you align your stuff. Blizzard added it to the move ui pane but this one is better. Also I made it so maybe I’m biased lol.
I'm pretty sure tom tom has a paste function as well. Type /ttpaste in game and it should pop up. I use it all the time and I don't have the extra 'paste' addon
