ysobelFor reasons beyond my ken, I have decided to go for Boremaster Loremaster -- basically, DO ALL THE QUESTS. And I have decided to do this before Cataclysm hits. Because I don't know if Cata will make Loremastering easier (in that there will be zone splittage) or harder (in that they will turn loremaster of ek/k into feats of strength that are no longer possible).
I am at the moment running around Stormwind picking up quests that give me all of 90 copper as rewards! And quests for Deadmines! And I suspect, if I venture outside, that I will find plenty of yellow exclamation marks in Goldshire and probably Westfall and maybe even Duskwood and almost certainly Redridge Mountains. ;_;
... to those who do not speak WoW, I am taking a max-level character and doing quests that are intended for very very beginning characters.
The ones that are just "kill X" are okay, because I can use lightning shield. (This is a skill that basically does damage to anything that pokes me. The amount of damage that it does scales to me, not to what I'm fighting. If I'm off with creatures that are appropriate to my level, it does a bit of damage but not much. If I'm doing things in early zones... well, let's just say that the last LS-related line in my log is "Haaki's Lightning Shield hits Loch Crocolisk for 328 Nature.(1481 Overkill)". The *shield* is doing five times as much damage as it takes to kill one of these things. So I can run through them to get their attention and let them poke me to their rather quick demise.)
The ones that require looting? ("bring me 10 heads of dead X" or whatever) They're frustrating because I keep forgetting to take down lightning shield. (I can't loot from something if an AI mechanism -- one of my spirit wolves, or a summoned elemental, or lightning shield -- kills it before I have a chance to touch it.
Guess which is more common a sort of quest. ;_;
(The ones that are "deliver Y" or "go talk to Z" range from amusing (go talk to a guy who is ten feet away from me in a very non crowded room!) to okay to horribly frickin' tedious (this is where I miss GW's map travel system). But they tend towards HFT more often than not, especially since there's usually a quest to take something back to the first person. And sometimes this repeats.)
...............I have *no idea* why I'm doing this to myself. *wry grin*
Current status: 516/700 quests in Eastern Kingdoms; 419/700 in Kalimdor. (Also Outlands -- I have all but three there, and one of the three is 62/75, but Blade's Edge Mountains is 1/86 and Netherstorm is 0/120. But I don't think Cata will change Outlands, so I'm concentrating on old-world quests.)
Also? I really wish there weren't a limit on the number of quests you can have at one time. grumble.

The only thing is that your quest count would be reset, and since you're already fairly deep in, you'll probably just want to get it over with now on your main so that it goes a bit faster. That said, go you, and good luck!
