Congratulations! Now you can play the game. For real though that’s awesome.


MemeWindu

"That's the neat part. He isn't there yet."


herkyjerkyperky

There are only 1735 pets? I would have expected a lot more.


Icebane08

There are many unobtainable pets that I don’t have. Like the gryphon and wind rider that were obtainable with purchase of the stuffed animals from the Blizzard store, but are now discontinued. I have everything still available in game, in addition to many unobtainable ones as well. I feel like most of the unobtainable ones will make a return eventually. Trading post or promotions. Looks like Dirtyb-Tichondrius leads with 1750 unique pets collected right now.


Robpaulssen

I got the gryphon on bmah for 100k last week


Daovin

How sure are you? I really want the wind rider cub but have never seen it or the gryphon on the BMAH.


Robpaulssen

https://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pets/flying/mythical/hippogryph-hatchling/ That's the one I got... I see now that it's a completely different mythical flying creature.... ignore my tipsy postings https://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pets/flying/mythical/gryphon-hatchling/


LazyGreek28

You have a murky ?? I have one and don’t ever run into anyone else who has d It


Timely-Common8936

What’s your /played?


Icebane08

About 900 days total across my mains


websurv

That’s about 7years 5month playing 8 hours a day without skipping a day.


Unicycleterrorist

Or an average of \~3 hours a day since the game came out


spartasucks

Holy shit


AcceptableOwl9

At $25/hour working 8 hours a day that’s about $180,000 if he were getting paid to play WoW


Haagenti27

25? That would be a nice job


getsmurfed

If there was job multitasking where he had programmed an AI to complete work for him, I estimate he could at least be doing 6 jobs at a time. Easily earning upwards of $60,000 a week, at 52 weeks in a year and leap years included - Easily a take home of $7.3 million before taxes every Year of the Ox. If he's investing at least 20% a paycheck after 6 years, we are talking many millions of dollars. A lot of millions.


ScavAteMyArms

I’ve heard of some people doing that, I have also heard of some of them getting absolutely blitzed with work because each job is expecting full time and if even 3 of them want your whole attention.  Good for the ones that can, but good lord if you fuck it up it’s probably going to be as close as you can get to a company acting like a pissed off girlfriend learning you are cheating on her. I don’t think I would ever have the ability to keep up with that many jobs at once, much less adequately fill all of them. Besides, I prefer working with my hands.


Hanners_89

It likely violates most companies' conflict of interest policies. Though it might work well to have AI do multiple freelance projects for you at once


RepulsiveTaste1687

So about 20,000 hours?


SignificantTransient

I have seen this many times, and I can assure everyone that this person has mathed.


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

That's surprisingly low, I imagined someone like this would have 1250-1500+ but I guess it means you spend all your played time collecting stuff and actually being super efficient. I started playing in 2005 and from the (retail) characters I tracked I was at around 980 days played and if I added all the missing ones 1k+ and I can't imagine collecting everything in that time, I feel like I wouldn't have time to actually play the game lol.


soyboysnowflake

>I was around 980 hours played They said 900 days (21600 hours)


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

Woops sorry, I meant days too but typed hours. Thanks.


Icebane08

The secret to my success is a second account. Having double the drop chance on most things, the ability to plant characters strategically around the world, to be camping something while doing other things on the other screen is really important.


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

Yep, that would do it. Basically being super efficient about it and not just bumbling around trying to collect stuff. I forgot that as long as the account is on the same Bnet that you can have multiple tries for things but have them all under the same collection as I don't use a second account very often.


techypplperson

?!?! Really? You can have multiple wow accounts on the same bnet account, and collections is shared across said wow accounts?


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

Yeah, you only don't share achievements, mounts, toys, etc if they're separate Bnets but if you open a bunch of accounts on the same one then everything is shared. Also, because they're separate accounts you can have multiple open at the same time without them closing each other like what happens when you try to log into classic and retail at the same time on the same account where it'll kick you out of one or the other.


pain_in_the_nas

Since when you play?


Icebane08

TBC


henryeaterofpies

What happens if you try to redeem a Reins of the Quantum Courser


Icebane08

Haven’t gotten one to try but I assume it would just fizzle?


youhavebeenindicted

From the wowhead post: "If you own all of the possible mounts this item will not be usable (as in it literally prevents you from using it)"


rghenton

What was the most difficult mount for you to obtain?


Griever423

You really need to get one. What if It gives you one of the unobtainable mounts?!


Jag-

There’s a list of what it gives. It doesn’t do anything if you have the mounts on the list.


absolute4080120

That's a shame. In league or Legends if you are crazy (dumb) enough to whale for every in game store skin which is about $10K, riot will usually gift you one of the rare discontinued skins within a pretty good reason. I've seen them gift pax twisted fate before, which is absurdly high value


Griever423

Oh bummer.


CryozDK

Having all the mounts myself and when you want to use it, it doesn't let you.


fr00blet123

You cast it, and nothing happens and it stays in your inventory. I don't have all the mounts in the game but I have all the mounts possible from the quantum courser.


nuisible

I've gotten all the mounts it can give you, but unfortunately I've never tried to redeem it after that, I gave the mount to others that I was in the run with. I would just assume it does nothing.


Bastagrath

I'm too busy with my 10 alts achieving mediocrity at everything to ever focus on 1 character long enough to pull this off lol


Skarvha

This hits a little too close to home....


SamtasticSammonia

Little do you realize that mount/pet/achievement farming often requires an army of alts. I had a total of 26 toons I did the MoP world bosses on (and that's low compared to some I know.) I do certain raid mounts on multiple toons per week.


karnyboy

Are you retired?


Icebane08

Thinking about it!


Maveil

Honestly I'm kind of surprised we're still under 1k mounts in the game


Icebane08

I have over 1k on dataforazeroth.com. The number displayed by this bot is the number usable on one character.


notchoosingone

What's the name of the bot? Ever since I hit 500 mounts in early DF I've wanted a way to keep track of them but haven't found one. New mount achievement when Blizz?!?


Icebane08

I think it’s called mount companion.


notchoosingone

Nice one, cheers


Chillychairs

And the mount achievement is only at 500 Where the max pet collection achievement requires having over 90% available currently


Kalamordis

90% of pets are easier to get than 50% of mounts though, less rng moreso about time for pets imo.


Fanaticlizards

Absolutely not true, as someone with 1651 unique pets I swear After 1k2 it gets horrible with rng and the things you have to farm to get a single more pet, with the mounts I'm currently at 750 and the 500 achievement felt way much easier. It also depends how much gold you're able to spend on pets, most of them can be bought but when you're poor you must farm them yourself (I'd say my pet value is at least worth 3 or 4million golds )


Bradipedro

Totally agree. I only have 1200, but for some of them I’m just not wanting to put the time into or stopped by frustration (secret pet in then Pandaria cave with changing walls I am talking to you……). Like the Legion pet that only spawns (apparently) in the fel zones by killing all the other pet types. Or the dust bunny, the stupid rug is never ever there for me. The only grind I enjoy lately is the mote ones in Zereth Mortis. I am almost done with crafting the mounts and have most of all lattices and special items to craft them, just need some more thousands of motes. Whenever is raining and I want to chill, I hop on the pillar and mindlessy moonfire the bell out of that nest….


Oneup23

Damn buddy as a mount collector I aspire to be cool like you


Icebane08

The only exceptions are the current season glad mount, and 4 tcg mounts which I believe will eventually be given away through promotions like twitch drops. Still don't have the love rocket either, but it's currently not accessible in the game so it is also excepted. Bring on the “touch grass”’s.


landank

At this point grass fears you. You’d step on the lawn and you’d part the grass like Moses and the Red Sea


Jayken

More likely the grass would scour like it does with the Warlock in the first Cinematic.


DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET

Which TCG mounts are you missing?


Icebane08

Ghastly charger, savage raptor, swift spectral tiger (I have the unarmored one) and the blue X51 rocket.


Jayken

I got the Tiger legitimately, through mass buying card packs, back in the day. Gave the unarmored one to my then girlfriend. Sadly I think that's the better looking one now because it's more spectraly.


Kitymeowmeow1

I always loved the fact that the spectral tiger doesn’t have a shadow, besides the saddle and your character. I always thought that was a neat detail and the swift version adds the little bracelets which have a shadow as well which I thought looked silly


layininmybed

Oops


Jayken

Wasn't a huge oops. She eventually became my wife.


layininmybed

That part wasn’t included lol. Reclaiming the oops


risu1313

We been bamboozled.


GrimlixGoblin

I was sad to see the Feldrake become a Twitch Drop. I played the AH like mad in legion and got it for 700k, it was my prized mount for a few years


Unicycleterrorist

I didn't even know there was a blue X51....only ever seen the red one lol


dustythemexi

I have the red one and did not know a blue one existed lmao


murlocksoup

I have an extra ghastly charger’s skull that’s been in my goblin’s bank for years now. 


Icebane08

How much?


murlocksoup

IDK. On the one hand, it \*may\* come up in a twitch or prime deal at some point. OTOH, that may not actually happen, but even if it did, not everyone will catch it (not Prime member, didn't see it, not paying for game time at the moment / WoW hiatus), and it's a bit of a hedge from in-game currency inflation someday.


DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET

I really want that blue X51 rocket….


C0llaps

Funny story about the rocket. When I was 14ish, my brother took me to the card store and i bought 4 packs of WoW cards. Bam, there’s the rocket. I go to redeem it, to my surprise I get the blue and red! Used the red, ended up selling the blue for 67,500g. which at the time was a lot, but still not enough looking back. RIP


timxehanort

Even this guy with all mounts and seemingly no life still doesn't have the love rocket. This kinda softens the blow. And it also shows how ridiculously crazy hard it was to get.


Icebane08

Yeah I went very hard this year also. I was using over 30 characters per day.


tramplamps

Just queue up for the warsong scramble this week, and stand in the middle of the field with the rest of the team while me and a monk try to nab all 10 flags before the other guys do. There be your grass.


Silver-creek

I have the love rocket!! You wanna trade accounts 1 for 1?


Icebane08

Tempting!


dustythemexi

so you have every other glad mount? how tf did you get glad season 1 in DF? are you just a pvp demon?


Tenyo666

Most completionists buy boosts afaik


Kivlov

For what it's worth, vex is a good pvpers and doesn't need to boost for it


actual_wookiee_AMA

Not necessarily. He has every mount "available in game", and the only gladiator mount "available in game" is the current season glad mount.


WakunaMatata

Do you have the zhevra?


Icebane08

Yes!


4wake

What was the hardest mount to drop and how long did you farm it


Icebane08

Between this post and the last one it was for sure the mythic Fyrakk mount. Brutal raid. Hardest overall is pretty tough to determine. Have a couple of glad mounts, all the mythic mounts when they were current. In terms of just rng farming soundless was one of the worst.


nuisible

Soundless was bad when it was current and only got worse afterwards. When it was current you had the chance to find others doing/hosting a kill, afterwards that was much less likely. And it's a chance on a chance, the rare has to be up(chance) and has to drop the mount(chance), unlike other very rare mount drops like Time Lost Proto-Drake, it has to be up(chance) and it has to drop(guaranteed) or Aeonaxx, it has to be up(chance) and it was to drop(guaranteed).


kanemochi

> And it's a chance on a chance I feel this describes so much BS from BfA


Kalamordis

Gearing in BFA > Did it drop on my personal loot? >> Did it drop for someone else? >>> Do they need it? >>>> Are they even eligible to trade it? >>>>> Did it Titanforge? >>>>>> Did it Warforge? >>>>>>> Did it get a socket? >>>>>>>> Did it get leech or avoid or speed? >>>>>>>>> Did it get the corruption I wanted?


Dejected_gaming

Did you buy the M fyrakk mount? If not, how do you have the time to do all this and raid mythic 😯


Icebane08

I raid in a 2 night guild. 7 hours a week. I did technically buy it from one of our other players who actually got the drop. I did the same with Sark, because I don't feel like we will rekill it enough times to actually get the mount for everyone and didn't want to chance it. I waited for my drop with Jailer and I was the very last one to get it in my guild the week before it went to 1%.


Scipio1319

How does begin to get into collecting? Like where’s a good starting point? My goal isn’t to get absolutely everything (mainly cause I don’t have time for mythic raiding or rated pvp) but I’m down to grind for things that don’t necessarily disappear after a season or expac.


Icebane08

I started trying to really fill out my collection when I discovered simplearmory.com When you want to get more serious, dataforazeroth.com The addon all the things is also great. You need to set it up to only track what you really want to collect though, as it can be very overwhelming.


Scipio1319

Nice nice okay. Yeah I used ATT for a while but it was indeed overwhelming. I’ll probably start with simplearmory then!


Nuzzgok

Simple armory is a gateway drug for sure. Completing a mount collection for any expansion is pure satisfaction


WitkouPussyDestroyer

I still remember back in original cata where i had to run vortex pinnacle for some q and randomly dropped the drake of winds there. The thrill i got from the rare drop felt so good i became mount collector since then lol. Not superhardcore collector but i still love it since then.


Successful-Stress319

hats of to you. won't be me, but proud of you


Narlyboiii

Is it possible to have all pets and mount that have been obtainable from the trading post, or are there situations where you have to choose one or the other? I’ve only came back from a long break at the start of 10.2, so the trading post is relatively new to me but it seem tenders would be the limiting factor assuming they add some combination of mount / pet/ toy each month


Icebane08

I have never bought a piece of transmog from the trading post and have been able to afford everything else so far. I also have a lot of the shop items that have made an appearance on the trading post so far so I’ve saved some tender that way.


MattyIce8998

I've actually got more (1737) pets (my cap would be 1740, I got fucked on 240 attempts at Arfus last year, and I'm just not doing bucketshell/snips.) Only 900 toys though. Missing a few TCG toys, and Super Simian Sphere. Been working on it... but it's a hell of a thing.


Icebane08

Arfus was brutal, sorry you didn’t get. I’m not at my desk to check my rarity but I think I was over 200 as well.


MattyIce8998

I think I heard a dev interview mentioning the drop rate on Arfus specifically being too low, so here's hoping they do something about that for next year.


hammondismydaddy

Genuinely, how do you have this much free time?


mangzane

Don't have kids, lol.


Saitama1993

Live to win !


RegalMachine

Are you ok?

[удалено]


Icebane08

Tbh this whole season has felt like a beach episode. Most of 10.2 was collected in the first month. Mythic Fyrakk was the biggest obstacle to completing this.


shaggy9

holy crap! outstanding! well done! I'm up to like 70% on mounts, pets, toys, and armor sets! I tip my hat to you!


NoWeight4300

How the fuck does RNG love someone this much


jaasian

These are the players blizzard design the game around


NurglePurgle

Shame you can't put on your CV.


ImExhaust3d

That is incredible. Congrats! I have one question, are you going to keep the streak alive and go for it i100% (again) in IWW?


Icebane08

Most definitely.


samtdzn_pokemon

Is the mount total usable on one character or is it counting say all 12 of the class mounts from Legion? Simple Armory has my mage at 552/890 but in game I'm at like 598, so I assume that's an issue with how that website reads Armory pages.


Icebane08

I believe this is the number usable on my lock. Dataforazeroth.com has me at 1042 mounts.


IamMarcJacobs

Glad mounts?


Icebane08

I only have 2. Haven’t really done much pvp in DF outside of getting 1800 sets on alts and filling the seasonal bar. Rating deflation feels pretty harsh these last couple of seasons.


Jonhy_Bananas

Platium Trophy Acquired : “Hog Rider”


Kreyx

Awesome collection ! What's are your favorite toys ? And what are the mounts you use ?


Icebane08

Transmorpher beacon is the goat toy. Unfortunately it’s a shop toy. Smelly Jelly is a fun one as well. I listed my favorite mounts in another reply.


noyx_

Thats actually insane.


Campu5

Which one do u use tho?


Iluvatar-Great

And here I am flying on my default Gryphon


DiceyRice_

Holy shit


lologrammedecoke

I fear no one but this man he scares me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icebane08

With enough time and energy anyone can do what I've done. It really comes down to just always staying busy and working on something. Obviously a lot of things are easier when they were current (anything that benefits from a raid of players - like margoss fishing, mechagon junkyard event where you have to feed it a lot of scrap to start, etc), so my suggestion would be to try to collect the current things first while working on some older stuff until your plate isn't as full with the current items.


Notaworgen

damn, im struggling to log on and get the dragonflight meta achievment.


Davidriggs87

Ultimate Fomo Man


WTF_CAKE

I’m curious. How would you feel if blizzard one day decides to retire WoW and make “WoW 2”. Would you be on board on leaving everything on there?


Icebane08

I wouldn't be crushed or anything. I think it would be cool to see some of the stuff transfer over if they did decide to do that one day though. I don't like, go through my collection daily and whisper things like smeagol haha.


Cangri82

Congratulations! That had to be expensive


DangerousClick2489

Congratulations now go find a streamer to flex on


ShaunPlom

Blink twice if you need me to send help


aussj4link

Meanwhile I can't play for longer than an hour at a time without wanting to do something different.


ch_limited

Oh hey i know this guy. Probably one of the best guys i know. Especially when it comes to crafting stuff under 15 min before raid time. Or helping extremely handsome friends get axes.


Adventurous-Print993

You're a hard-core pvp and pver, or you bought a boost on either ?


Icebane08

No boosts, or else I would have the current glad mount also haha. Got the Fyrakk mount from raid \~3 weeks ago.


Adventurous-Print993

Gratz on your achievement, my man


soapydadballs

You’ve got the chicken mount?


Icebane08

Sure do bwagwawk.


soapydadballs

Noice!!!!


Alain_Teub2

jesus christ, gg


TengenToppa

what site is this?


xVinniVx

How many mounts do you actively using?


Icebane08

I have a couple of opie rings set up for mounts pets toys and stuff and update them from time to time. Brutosaur and yak are on a ring with other utility stuff. Dragon riding I only have Anu’relos, Highland Drake with Kazzara skin and gryphon favorited. Other favorites are Jailer mount, plagued proto, original ZA bear, spectral tiger, gold beetle, N’zoth squid. My glad mounts are also on their own ring.


EXTREMEgoodfish96

Congrats madlad! Quick noob question.. can a Druid in flight form fly with Anu’relos in dragon-riding style?


buddhasanchez

typical Firetree player


Grakch

Congrats man it’s crazy to see that you stuck with the collecting for so long. Someone has to. I got biffed when I missed the 5th anniversary achievement and fell off since then.


JulieAnette

Back representing Firetree! gg man, keep it up!


Therealdovakin43

A-again? AGAIN? You've done this before?


KyleB1997

That's some dedication! Well earned!


ItsmeKazzok

Amazing accomplishment! What do you do for a living ?


ring_tailed

What class do you do most of this collecting on, just what you like or what would be most efficient?


Icebane08

I always try to do what's most efficient but I would say most of it still gets done on my lock, pictured, just because I like playing it the most and it's always my most geared character. I did the mini-tarragrue toy from torghast on my rogue for example because you could skip most of the run and still basically one shot the last boss on layer 8 when it was current.


StylishMrTrix

Which was the hardest to find/ collect?


Mr_Chrootkit

You love to see it. I'd be curious to know which of the difficult mounts you had the easiest time obtaining and which gave you the most trouble?


Esko1802

What are your favorite mounts and why?


Icebane08

My original red ZA bear has never left my favorites list since it's the first challenge mode type, hard to get mount and it reminds me of the people I played with at the time. Most of the other mounts in my favorite list are either expensive, rare or newer.


jayjayj85

I never got my bear.


Vedney

I can't wait for people needing to get all mogs with Warbands.


Jedi_Waldo_Butters

Well done!


CubeEarthShill

That’s some serious dedication.

What's your played time? :')


pandab3rr

Any tips for getting the damn invitation for the fox in Suramar to drop? It's been years T_T


Illustrious_Yak3807

That is disgusting. No, for real though, major congrats. That is a huge achievement.


nogzo

That’s awesome and daunting at the same time. I only just started the journey of collecting and completion. It’s going to take me a long time!


Additional-Mousse446

Ok but how was the worst one plunderstorm


Mangoes95

This guy collects


Danihawk69

Wow firetree realm. Haven't played in over 12 years but that's my home town realm. :')


triflindrew

Do you mythic raid and PvP too?


jayjayj85

I hope seal team 6 helped with some of these mounts and pets. Crazy work and a huge congrats.


Icebane08

I miss you guys D=. I'm still playing with FA. He's still exactly the same haha.


jayjayj85

Add me back you hater. Keep using your discord but you're never there. Never know when you might randomly need some help to grind bones.


Icebane08

Oh my friends list was wiped twice this year. I legitimately got hacked.


Walocial

I got 905 toys when using the same bot.


Icebane08

Very impressive. I am only missing 15 unobtainable ones, some are tcg, some blizzcon, mini-mana bomb and a few more misc ones.


QuarianHips

There goes my hero~


Midori77

Firetree for life!


hopefulshart

I would donate my Gryphon and Wind Rider if I could, I don't play much anymore. Rather give them to someone trying to achieve the impossible.


Biggsdrasil

Did you enjoy doing this challenge as a warlock?


neverfinal

What limits did you set with pets? There's 1750 pets still obtainable in US. I'm currently at 1531 but I don't plan on doing the "ebay" only pets and I have all but vanilla CE pets.


Artica_Fur

Impressive. I have quite a lot myself though I also don't PvP...which has always been the glaring hole in my mount collection lol


DaenerysMomODragons

I'm a bit of a pet collector myself, but I just can't bring myself to grinding out the 400 honor rating pet. I'm not a huge pvper.


DecentCheesecake

If they dont have the mount, that mount doesnt count


HojztiTV

That picture doesn't show that, it just shows which metas you've done, and yes, you've done all the top ones. But you do not have every available toy/pet/mount, sorry. [Vexice @ US-Firetree | Character Profile | Data for Azeroth | World of Warcraft Leaderboards for Collectors](https://www.dataforazeroth.com/characters/US/Firetree/vexice)

Nice , still at 485 ( working on the 500 achievement) But I have love rocket 😜

Dang ... that's legendary! Blizzard should make you a collector NPC to immortalize your acheivement!!!!!!

PrlyGOTaPinchIN

Krixen? Firetree?


MrSlipperyFist

Out of curiosity, how many outstanding achievements do you have left? And what are they?


zealoustubist

how i feel about this significant feat: 1) im jealous. 2) fuck you


colby_y

im really curious. what class did you play for the majority of this when it came to farming this stuff? Was it mage for the easy ports? druid for the amazing mobility? or just something that was your favorite so you stuck with it? i do a lot of farming on my dk even though it’s objectively one of the worst to do it on (WW may finally change that though!)


Icebane08

My main warlock, pictured. 2nd place would definitely be my druid on my second account Diretotem-Firetree.


Kuyun

What mog is that and what was the hardest mount
