INVINCIBLE!!! ... no, not the mount.


I have finally found my new favourite Battlegrounds! Temple of Kotmogu Whenever I am in this battleground I feel absolutely invincible thanks to all that arena I have been doing, of course my gear helps out in many other battlegrounds but I just find that during temple, I get targeted way less than any other BG. Which is kind of amazing. I have never found it so easy to get Battleground Achievements and I have never enjoyed killing gnomes so much!






I can hold the orbs for at least half the game at a time, Providing I have a healer! (the debuff starts getting way too high! and only then is when I actually lose, because I cannot use deterrence while holding an orb.. LAME!) This Battlegrounds seriously so much fun!
So if you are looking for some easy achievements, and you are a PVP'er I recommend getting the temple achieves, even if you don't PVP, just get a set of prideful from yolo bgs or yolo arenas and rock it in the Temple!


I dont think I have ever topped BG charts in any category before haha

Also I managed to get the Darkmoon Dancing Bear! (Finally!) This mount costs 180 Darkmoon Faire Tickets, which are actually super easy and quick to get, they just require consistency which I clearly lack! I swear I am working on the guide! Enjoy this screenshot of an epic dancing mount!



Congratulations to the Guild for FINALLY getting a Class Achievement! Haha. oh gosh.
What are we even doing?

Reminder, If you haven't already share some love with the facebook page! We only need 10 more like to announce the winner of the Pet Giveaway! Get in on that action!

Darkmoon Achievements to come!

Sometimes I feel like I am in a rut because I have got so many achievements and there are not many left to do. And I have no idea where to start!

I figured I am going to have a crack at getting all the Darkmoon Faire Vanity items and at the same time work on my Pet Battle Achievements (collection) and my Mountain 'O' Mounts achievement, not too far to go actually!

Mount Count: 126/200
Critter Collection: 317/400 +


I will be writing a darkmoon faire guide specifically targeting the achievements and the fastest ways to go about doing them, somewhere down the track I might write an overall guide.

A neat little trick that I found is that I can accumulate tickets all on one character, as the boxes from the dailies are not soulbound so I can send the boxes to Gerjaranna to get my mount faster!

Pre Patch stuff, yay so much work to do, I need to smash out some CM and get my 10 norm garrosh kill for the mount! Oops been too slack. It also doesnt look like I will be getting my 100 3s wins this season! :'(

I know this is a short post but I am getting prepared for some written achievement guides, the recording of my first parody and also all the pre patch things that need to get done! Oh my.

Back To Blogging

Hey guys, I have been rather active on the Facebook Page and been neglecting my blogging duties! I am going to be starting the Achievement guides in blog form and the video recording is having quite a few issues that will take some time to get sorted!

I have decided to put an hour away each day to blog, and only blog!

To start my morning I have logged on to Gerj and found the suprise of a lifetime! NAVI messaged me! :O
For those of you who do not know who Navi is, Navi basically runs the Frostwolves blog that actually inspired me to start blogging myself and Navi does all the super cute artwork you can see on their blog!

Anyway, Navi messaged me because I fangirled pretty hard in a dungeon on my Shammy. I met Bikesbabesbytes (A frostwolves guild member) on his toon Dasal.



We chatted for a bit and I asked Bikes if he could tell Navi that I said hello and that I was a big fan of the blog! I guess he did because I got this wonderful message and I will be smiling for days! Navi, you're just too sweet!

Visit their amazing blogs at: http://frostwolves.blogspot.com.au/

For those of you who follow my Facebook page you would know that I have been playing the Beta a little bit. I created a level 100 character and set out to find the Genie! Here are some images of the character.


The character pops out of the 'Ever Burning Lamp' with some text before he quickly shrinks back into the lamp with more text! I am sure you could figure out what he says, but in case you can't I don't want to spread to many more spoilers. The 'Ever Burning Lamp' can be found on a little island off the coast of Nagrand. Its next to a tree behind a LARGE egg with a chair inside. On the island I found quite a few little decorations and after a bit of a read up on it all, it looks like there is the possibility of a few other Robin characters to be released. One character that has been datamined seems to be dressed as Mrs Doubtfire. I love how they have this little island dedicated just to him!

For those of you who want to race off and find this island to pay your respects the island can be found here:


Also for those of you who don't follow the Facebook Page, I mentioned that I felt this xpac I would roleplay because the areas are just so beautiful! I think I will be taking a trip to Moonguard this christmas!





 Absolutely Gorgeous!

One long overdue post!


Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for being patient with me ^_^

As many of you know I was hacked so that put a huge spanner in the works for me as far as blogging and youtubing goes. But I now have my account back!!! YAY! ^_^

I also didn't blog over the weekend as I was an official photographer for AVCon - an adelaide (SA, Australia) anime convention. I unfortunately didn't see as many Blizzard costumes as I would like to have seen but some amazing cosplayers revealed themselves! Photos will be posted on my personal photography page if anyone is interested in visiting it click >Here<

Secondly, before I do my catch up I have a SUPER EXCITING announcement...
(Exciting for me anyway) :P

I was doing Ulduar last night with Raggaz and Boff. It was a pretty standard run and then BOOM! MIMIRON'S HEAD DROPS!!! Oh my gosh. The one night I am not recording! You should have heard Skype, you would have thought we had won the lotto or been offered immortal life.

I totally won the roll with a 76 and although I couldn't bring myself to /learn the mount for about half an hour, winning the roll was well worth having my friends hate on me for a week. ^_^

The Ulduar Mounts

Rusted Proto-Drake, Mimiron's Head, Ironbound Proto-Drake
Boff, Lila, Raggaz





So lets get going with the FLASHBACK FRIDAY!

I made a post earlier about my amazing alliance guild, RAZORS EDGE back in Lich King days. When Sindragosa was a total B#$%H to down , the guild had one night where everyone agreed to stay a few extra hours for progression reasons & it helped that it was holidays so not many people had school or work the next day.

After about 5 hours on Sindra a few of us started becoming delirious, we were short on food, our flasks were disappearing, our pots were well and truly used up and our repair bills... well lets just say we spent the next few days farming to replenish the guild bank. Our attempts were getting worse each time due to being super tired and frustrated with running back constantly! Someone needed to run to the bathroom and while we waited a guildie popped their dwarf flask and started to dance.
Now after midnight, when you haven't had dinner and you have been smashing up against a horrifying boss for 4-5 hours straight, you start to find most things hilarious. So the next person popped a flask, and then the next, and then the next, and before long the whole guild had turned in to dwarfs and created a dancing train which slowly traveled throughout the room in which Sindragosa laid.

We stayed like this for almost an hour. Instead of working on progression, we wasted an hour of our lives as dancing dwarves. Although that hour could have really come in handy, I wouldn't trade that memory for the world!



SCREENSHOT SUNDAY!


Now I definitely had a screenshot in which I was excited to share with you all, but when I sat down today I could not for the life of me figure out what it was I wanted to share! So I logged on wow and figured I would go out and get you a screenshot but as I was traveling around I totally forgot what I was doing. So when I remembered I took a screenshot of what was right in front of me. So enjoy this dinosaur & thankyou to the hunter who had him in my face!

If you have a Flashback story or a Screenshot you would like to share please submit to Lilakian <-

TRANSMOG TUESDAY!

This weeks Transmog Tuesday was submitted by the lovely Ouhabanana - Dentarg US and features gear for Leather wearers!

He names this set 'Simply Purple' and well, its a fitting name! This is not a set from somewhere like firelands or molten core. These pieces can be picked up from all over the place and if you would like this set go to the Transmog page to see item names. The pale green in the above image shows the 'glowing effect' of the weapon and shoulders. Here is an image of his character, totally rocking the set!






Sorry for the reallllly long post!
Happy Hunting! ~ Lilakian

Hacked!

So I was going to post on my blog last night and update a few things here. Originally I was announcing PvP footage to be released. But just as I was setting up recording gear BAM my account got hacked. I am currently locked out of my account.
*Shakes Fist*

In the meantime enjoy this amazing Murloc Cosplay!

Transmog Tuesdays! x2

So as I promised I will be making up for my absence with Transmog Tuesday last week by posting two this week! Originally I was going to post more Hunter xmog that I have been working on since I didn't have any submissions, however I decided to get inspiration to play my god awful paladin.

Well I found it! THE LAWBRINGER SET! Oh yes this is a gorgeous set that may just be making my paladin turn from tank to heals with these amazing 'holy' colours. It such a fantastic set in all aspects. Not only was the set bonus amazing back in the day but it actually looks amazing on Tauren. The Lawbringer set is fairly easy to get as all pieces Drop from Molten Core which is easily farmed these days, not to mention you get cool pets from it too!



Most parts of this Transmog are BoP but there are a few pieces of transmog that you can pick up and sell for value such as the belts from all class specific transmog.  (Providing its a popular transmog)
In this particular image I have accompanied the Transmog with Khorium Champion, a 2h weapon that can be crafted by Blacksmiths. I think it looks great with this set, however, I see myself desperately trying to find a Mace to match or shield and 1h!

Ive been feeling the Tauren love lately, probably mostly because my only other level 90 at the moment is a Tauren. I guess I've been feeling pretty bummed out that all the amazing transmogs I have on my hunter just don't look as good now that she has gone from being Draenei to Troll. Female Trolls just don't have a good body for great transmogs. So my 2nd Transmog will also be modelled on a Tauren and that is the Stormrage Set.


The Stormrage set is specifically for druids and I have always liked the whimsical feel to Druid attire. I am in the process of attempting to level characters to 90 and I am hoping that some amazing druid transmog will get me going in the right direction considering she needs to be higher level to farm the pieces!

The Stormrage set drops a little from all over the place so its honestly easiest to go to wowhead and search stormrage. You will find some great alternate colouring aswell!

I hope you have enjoyed the Transmogs this week and remember to submit your transmog to be featured here on the Facebook page: Lilakian - The Achievement Hunter
Just another announcement that the Facebook page is just a few likes away from the reveal of the pets for the giveaway! Make sure you watch for the battlepets to be revealed shortly!

Good Luck ^_^ Happy Hunting!

Artwork!

I was browsing DeviantArt as I do and I came across this AMAZING artwork.

It is so simple but it really captures the main features of Taurens. For some reason I just feel so drawn to this image. It makes me want to race change my Troll. Ive always loved Tauren, but Troll & Orc are better for their racial abilities (being a hunter).

There is just enough features to make this image appealing to look at but still holds the simplicity really well. It truly is a great piece of art and I wish I could generate my art this well! I think I have found my new desktop image!

Check out this fantastic artist at http://ryunosuke-fuji.deviantart.com/

Screenshot Sunday!

I was in Ulduar finishing up some old non-meta achievements and Raggaz, Boff & I were upto Freya. That fight can be annoyingly long if your trying for non-meta achieves! Anyway, one of the achievements is to kill all of those elder tree guys (mini bosses) within a certain time limit of each other (15 seconds). This achievement is relatively easy as long as you arent stun locked & the roots arent glitching!

Anyway, my Direhorn Mount is just my default ground mount on my action bar, we mounted up & split into three directions to all pull the treemans. When I mounted I just thought my Direhorn looked at home in this area and decided to capture the moment. If real life was like WoW, and dinosaurs wernt extinct, I would love to be able to stroll through a forest like this and see a horde of peaceful Direhorns grazing away!

I've fallen in love with this particular screenshot (pictured above) and have decided to make it my new facebook banner. If you havent already check out the official Achievement Hunter facebook and share some love! https://www.facebook.com/LilaAchievementHunter

Do you have some screenies from raids that you've fallen in love with? I would love to see them!

Flashback Friday

This was my guilds first Lich King encounter back when I was alliance, the guild went through many stages of names, Immortalis > Razors Edge > Bound by Blood as we had a lot of problems with trolls ruining our reputation! I really do miss these crazy hooligans! There are so many amazing memories with these absolutely gorgeous people. I would have to say that this group in particular will always hold a special place in my heart, not only because this was my first successful guild (when I was about 14) but because I couldnt have asked for a friendlier and welcoming group.

This group was like family, we raided together, but we also practically lived together. We pvp'd,  quested, achievement hunted and some of us even studied and helped each other with homework. Sometimes I regret taking my 6 month break and changing servers & factions. Ive never quite enjoyed WoW the same.


Its a true shame that I have lost contact with all of these people, and I hope that somehow this post will reach them and we will be able to get back in contact with each other!

Transmog Tuesday + other things! (Catch up!)

I've been under the pump with work this week so I didn't have time to blog! So this is a catch-up post and I will post my Flashback Friday later tonight ^_^

First things first I MISSED THE TRANSMOG TUESDAY! D:

So, one of my favourite transmogs of all time, one of the first available sets to players who could wear mail: The Battleforged Set!



Absolutely stunning with its yellow and red features and it was one of my first sets I ever collected, back in Vanilla when you couldn't 'transmog' and if you were wearing something awesome looking and standing around in the main cities, people would flock to you like wildfire and share some /love.

Of course I only had a level 40 Warrior through vanilla since I was a very lazy leveller and had around 15 characters all under level 20, (still have no idea how to play anything but hunters and priests btw).

Yes warriors were plate wearers (once you paid for the training!) but were mail wearers until you hit level 40, being a lazy leveller and having no gold I was stuck in the mail gear, making the bloodforged set perfect for me since I also spent most of my time talking to people in the cities!

My mum was very kind and let me use her level 60 warrior when she was working to farm, and the greatest part about this gear, is that it is BOE! Yay, so you can farm it on your quickest farming toon and mail the loots to the toon you would like it on, of course you could use it as a money maker aswell, some parts of the transmog drop way less often and depending on your server, some of the gear will sell for a mint! (Particularly on RP servers)

Now for the downside, Its a BOE World drop with its most likely drop being 8% from a rare elite which we all know can have respawn timers of hours! It drops from random creatures of level 25-30, so maybe you would prefer the AH Farming option.

It cost me about 10 gold to collect the entire set on my level 40 warrior throughout Vanilla & BC but now that I am horde and on a different server I wanted to get the gear on gorgeous hunter! (Which I wish was still a draenei for transmog reasons) The chest piece alone cost 45gold!!! Sorry but id rather get the chest through farming & sell all the goodies aswell!


So thats the Transmog Tuesday!
Now on to my other ramblings!


So I was browsing my Facebook News Feed and found some exciting images posted on one of my favourite clay crafters page! Screenshots from the Beta!! And I just could not wait for Screenshot Sunday to share them with you!!!
Source: https://www.facebook.com/WarcraftsbyEuphyley




Is this not just one of the most beautiful sceneries in the WoW world? I am a huge sucker for nature filled areas, especially ones that are quite green, example Nagrand! Ive never been a huge fan for the dark swampy areas. But this artwork is making me quite excited for the swamp areas! ALSO my favourite clay crafter is a hunter and I am excited to share this next screenshot of her taming a gorgeous pile of goo & rocks!



Does anyone know what this is? I do ^_^ and I am super excited to announce that you do not need to be a Beast Master to tame this lovely creature! He looks rather exotic and is the size of a Direhorn Mount! (I wonder if they will fix that before warlords is released, on one hand I like the idea of a big kickass beast, on the other I can see all hunters running around with these and getting in the way!)

I might just wait until Screenshot Sunday to show you what this beast really is! Any guesses?

Sunday 29 June 2014

Screenshot Sunday!

Raggaz helped me get my 25man ICC drake! FINALLY! Two pesky achievements were holding me back, Been waiting a long time for this & Full House! I will be releasing achieve/mount guides for the ICC drakes slowly but shortly ^_^


Anyone else have ICC screenshots they'd like to share? I would love to see them!

Happy SS Sunday everybody!

Tuesday 24 June 2014

The adventures for today!

So for the most part of the day I spent my time working on two new videos for youtube, Part 1 & 2 of the Mount Parade guide are officially finished! Yay! Just need to upload! Can't say i'm overly thrilled about the content in them but the future parts will be much more exciting now that the boring class mounts part is over!

Raggaz and I derped around in ICC25 for a bit and bugged the lich king! oops!

ALSO I GOT THE BLOG STARTED!!!! About time too!

+ I started my PVP set by purchasing the shoulders! Time to derp around in the BGs before I retire for the night!


Monday 23 June 2014
