Hello all!

I'm Skorne, a Night Elf rogue PvP junkie who will be starting up a column discussing all things PvP. To kick things off I thought I would do a quick post outlining a bunch of easy PVP achievements that you may want to pursue. Personally I didn't plan to pursue Achievements before I heard about PvP achievements. But now once I started I can't stop! And I recently got my 50,000 Honor Kill Achievement.

How far you choose to take your achievement hunt is up to you and its pretty easy to underestimate the agony value of some of the achievements out there, but if you are keen on getting a few quick PvP achievements under your belt that require minimal effort check out the ones listed below

 An Honorable Kill - Achieve an honorable kill. Step foot into a battleground, a pvp zone or simply kill a flagged player!

 100 Honorable Kills - Get 100 honorable kills.

 Know Thy Enemy - Get an honorable, killing blow on five different races.

 Make Love, Not Warcraft - Emote /hug on a dead enemy before they release corpse.

 That Takes Class - Get an honorable, killing blow on one of each class.

 Alterac Valley Victory - Win Alterac Valley.

 Arathi Basin Victory - Win Arathi Basin.

 Eye of the Storm Victory - Win Eye of the Storm.

 Strand of the Ancients Victory - Win Strand of the Ancients.

 Warsong Gulch Victory - Win Warsong Gulch.

 Leaning Tower - Destroy a tower in Wintergrasp.

 Wintergrasp Victory - Win the ...

This is a funny video that a fellow guildmate Gufoni in Alea Iacta Est made. I thought it would be appropriate since today the Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff has reached its maximum of 30%.

With the ICC Raid Buff now at 30% its time to get The Frozen Throne achievement along with the highly coveted title "The King Slayer".

This video cracks me up every time I watch it and it helped me learn the Lich King fight. I've done a bunch of practice runs on it with the raid group I'm in and hope to down it this week for my first time.

This is a more technical guide than the above, if that didn't do it for you.

Phase 1 : Shambling Horrors

You will need at least 2 tanks and preferably 3 healers for this fight in 10 man. The main tank will position him at the bottom of the stairs. The raid will be slightly to the right of the middle of the platform. The offtank will be toward the right of the stairs.

After the pull the Lich King will cast Infest which is an AOE that applies a dot raid wide that does damage and can only be dispelled by the person infected being healed to 90% hp. It's important for healers to get their raid healed while conserving their mana and not over-healing. He will continue doing this throughout the fight.

The Lich King will spawn Drudge Ghouls which are ...

Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 Player) Guide

Rewards a Rusted Proto-drake

I wanted to start off with a common middle ground for people new to achievements and for those who are heavily acquainted with achievements. With badge gear being easily attained as a matter of constant grinding, these achievements should be easier for some while still retaining an overall difficulty for others during the Wrath of the Lich King to Cataclysm gap. I'm going to show you the ins and outs of obtaining these achievements. There is a lot of number crunching for these achievements but I'm going to simplify it while making sure you get all the information you need to know. This guide is written from the perspective that you know a little about Ulduar, but not enough that you could do this in your sleep or already have this achievement, otherwise, why would you even be reading this?

Welcome. This guide marks the first part of what I hope to be a long series of guides for Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 Player) which still rewards a Rusted Proto-Drake..
This guide is distributed into parts and will be combined together at the end.

Part 1 Orbit-uary

Orbit-uary is a 4 part achievement that will net you 40 achievement points; 10 points for each Orbital Defense System Tower that is active.

I want people to know enough about the fight that, should they encounter difficulties, they could amend the strategy to fit their group ...

Update: Caspi has made a super move and is now back in the joint lead with Iapeto! Looks like we are going to have a real race once CAT is released.

Hi All, I was just digging though some referral links were were getting and happened to come across this article written by our friends at wow.com . Here is a snippet:



15 Minutes of Fame: Good heavens, man, you do it all! Do have any primary focus in game, or do you truly enjoy every part of it?

Caspi: In my opinion, a good mix is the key. Raiding is still fun, but when the raid is over, it's really enjoying to queue some BGs with friends, build up some classic raids like Sunwell or just do five-man heroics. Arena is also a big factor for me in the game. The first two WotLK arena seasons (season 5 and season 6) were quite unbalanced, but they changed a lot in terms of class balance, so the last season was fine for me. The main goal for me is to having fun in all aspects of the game. I also have a level 80 death knight alt, but I'm not really a friend of alts, so I'm logging in one day a week for a heroic with friends or something.

It's obviously taken quite a while to rack up this many achievements. How old of a character is Caspi?

I've been playing my hunter since ...

Hi fellow achievement maniacs! I'm Hikikomori and I'll be writing a new column called "The Spirit Guide". It will be a comprehensive guide to all types of achievements. From compressed Meta Guides for all the Raiders out there to guides for your every day achievements. I'll be your spirit guide along the way. If you've been reading wow-achievements.com since the start, you probably have the majority of achievements out there but there will be content just for you. You'll learn how to get those insanely hard achievements like raid and PvP Meta's, and Feats of Strength. There will also be Guides for readers new to achievements. I want to show different perspectives on the multiple ways you can earn achievements. I've done some ridiculous things while going for an achievement and somehow still successfully gotten that achievement. These achievement guides will have a more in depth personal touch than your standard "If you can't do this, then you're a noob" guides.

As per the title of this column, besides showing you end game achievements with my 80 mage I will be starting my own Goblin Shaman during Cataclysm to show you how to get those plentiful new achievements once the expansion has launched. Ghost Wolf Ftw. I personally can't wait for the new Guild Achievements.

In real life I'm an ordinary college student by day. At night I put on a cape and fight crime. When I'm ...

From Blizzard Jun-29-2010:

"As noted in the official patch 3.3.5 notes, the release of the Ruby Sanctum was briefly delayed to better align its availability across all regions. We're happy to announce that the wait is over, and the Ruby Sanctum is now open."

Unfortunately 73 realms were down for extended maintenance during the release!

There are four new achievements for the raid, one for each of 10 and 25 player defeat of Halion, both in normal and heroic modes.

We will report world firsts as soon as the data becomes available.
