    Just sayin.I don’t know if I ever said so, so I will now. I used this guide and my guildies were shocked and amazed at how fast I got these achievements (they shouldn’t be, they know I’m an achievement whore, but anyways….). So thanks a ton for writing this, I’ve recommended it to all of my guildies 🙂

    You should probably put inYou should probably put in the skill requirements for fishin the floating wrekage, thining i could level my fishing while doing so I found out later after hitting 150 that floating wreckage requires 305 fishing, not sure about the other spawns though.

    Ah, sorry I didn’t see thisAh, sorry I didn’t see this right away.

    Upload it to another free file site, such as google sites, and let Jame know where it is. He can upload it here, but we normal users can’t upload that filetype.

    Thanks for making it!

    Love this guide!Well Done Choppas!
    This guide is right up there with the best!

    I followed it to a T, but had trouble finding the Schooner Wreckage
    in STV. Found it in other places but could not find it there. It may be worth mentioning that it can be found elsewhere (Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills, Stonetalon Mountains, Wetlands) Hillsbrad being an obvious choice for the particular part of the guide.

    I hope you will keep going and do more guides.
    Thanks very much.

    ackWell I went ahead and changed it to larger maps, plus the maps are now clickable without the annoying “download” screen…

    Edit:
    I could put it back to the smaller maps with the option of the clickable maps still without the annoying “download” screen…

    Edit again,
    I didn’t like them as big as I made them… they’re now a more modest size.

  • img
    Feb 5, 2009 @ 22:09 pm

    Hah, thats exactly what IHah, thats exactly what I thought you did originally, but it took me to some kind of download screen. Perhaps I’m just doing it wrong?

    Edit: Once I clicked “yes” to the “download”, it loaded the bigger map. This is really counter-intuitive, though I think it has to do with where your pics are hosted (google?) and not really something you can change. It’s too bad though, I really like the idea of small maps that are clickable.

    Feb 5, 2009 @ 22:00 pm

    I could make the mapsI could make the maps bigger… or you could click on the map to open it in a new window.

    Feb 5, 2009 @ 21:49 pm

    Looks awesome!Looks awesome!

    Edit: My only concern is that some of the maps are rather small, and the colors don’t show up too well with the smaller size. But they are probably good enough to follow 🙂

    NICEWould you believe that I haven’t finished these myself… I have more time available to work on a guide than I have to play WOW. I made the tourguide version of this guide and will be testing that one out ingame soon.

    ModIf you’re a mod nut like me, you can get OverAchiever (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/overachiever.aspx). It adds info to the tooltip when you mouse over an animal you need to /love or a book you need to read or a school you still need to fish. It also puts an icon in your cookbook to let you know you still need to cook that item for your cooking achievement.

    I just found this yesterday and installed it last night after work. It’s pretty cool.
