In World of Warcraft, achievements serve as a key measure of player progress, presenting numerous challenges that require extensive dedication. Notable time-consuming achievements include **Khan**, which demands mastery of multiple battlegrounds, **Warlord of Draenor**, where players must defeat 500 opponents from each race, and **110 Exalted Reputations**, requiring extensive daily quest farming. Other achievements like **The Master of Traditions** and **Thanks for the Ride!**, which involves collecting 500 mounts, further test players’ commitment and engagement with the game.
Unlocking Achievements in World of Warcraft
In the expansive universe of World of Warcraft, player progression is often highlighted through a classic video game staple: achievements. Within Blizzard’s iconic MMO, these milestones are known as Achievements or AAs. The game is filled with tantalizing challenges that, while not outright impossible, demand countless hours of dedication. This keeps players engaged, debunking the myth that WoW is a game that can be ‘completed.’
Top Time-Consuming Achievements
Here’s a closer look at some of the most daunting achievements that will test your commitment and skill:
Khan
First up is the notoriously challenging achievement: **Khan**. This meta achievement is particularly grueling, as it comprises five separate meta achievements:
- Mastery of the Battle of Gilneas
- Mastery of the Twin Peaks
- Mastery of the Temple of Kotmogu
- Master of the Isle of Conquerors
- Mastery of the Silvermine
With a total of 53 AAs involved, some of these are incredibly difficult to secure in battlegrounds. Expect to invest at least 1000 hours of repeated battlegrounds to achieve this!
Warlord of Draenor
This challenging achievement requires you to engage in PVP activities within your Garrison’s Sanctum. But there’s more! You must eliminate 500 players from each race of the opposing faction. This task transforms into a true test of endurance, especially considering the desolate state of the continent associated with the **Warlords of Draenor** expansion today. Your best bet for completing this AA is to coordinate groups within the Sanctum, making it a logistical nightmare for just 10 achievement points.
110 Exalted Reputations
While this achievement isn’t out of reach, it demands hundreds of hours dedicated to farming daily quests to boost your reputations. This seemingly mundane daily grind is more taxing than it appears, explaining why only about 9% of players can flaunt this validated AA. However, for seasoned veterans who put in the effort across expansions, this achievement can be gathered naturally.
The Master of Traditions
To earn this achievement, players must finish all quests from each successive expansion of World of Warcraft. This journey can feel like a monumental challenge for those who dread leveling. On the flip side, it’s an excellent opportunity for lore enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the rich storyline of the MMO.
Thanks for the Ride!
Do you consider your mount collection impressive in WoW? If you haven’t secured the AA ‘Thanks for the Ride’, which requires you to amass 500 mounts, you may want to rethink your collection status. Only about 6% of WoW players have achieved this milestone, which necessitates involvement in various game aspects. Notably, mounts often serve as rewards for other achievements. Additionally, players who choose the Paladin class enjoy a significant advantage here, gaining access to unique mounts throughout their journey.
At the highest levels, it’s common for a meta to emerge within the instanced PVE of World of Warcraft. Recent statistics highlight a significant concentration of a single specialization dominating the tank role in Mythic 15+ dungeons.
