2 Tips:

Einmal sind am Strand an der Dunkelkiste viele tote Tiere die alle ein Q geben... ca 8 Quests

Und zum zweiten in Feralas, links vom "Camp Mojache" ist auf der Karte ein kleines Häuschen. Dort laufen Druiden NPCs rum, auch in Bärform. Weiter im Westen sind 2 Nachelfen die eine Questreihe von 8 Quests geben. 3 Quests sind eine Folge, dann endet die Questreihe in Darnassus. Wenn man in Darnassus war bekommt man kein Quest aber kann von den Nachtelfen in Feralas wieder eine Q annehmen. Vorher solltet ihr im AH oder vom Alchi eures Vertrauens noch Elexiere der Selenstärke 2x besorgen da ihr die dann braucht und dann nicht noch eine Weltreise machen müsst.

Why are Eastern Kingdoms zones listed in these Achievements for Kalimdor?

Onyxia's Lair
Shadowfang Keep
Silverpine Forest

Kommentar von jormundgard

The PTR says that I am over 70 quests short of this achievement Alliance side, even though I have the Eastern Kingdom one. I can't figure out what's up here, other than that the AQ gates aren't open and maybe that explains the missing quests. But there must be more to it than that...

Edit: Latest PTR has me only 60 short, so something is changing.

Edit 2: These comments were back on the PTR, and aren't relevant anymore. Most people that were in my situation should have the achievement now. I didn't expect wowhead to recycle the comments on the live version :).

I have visited every quest giver in Kalimdor and I'm still 40 quests short. It's bug I suppose or number of quests is counted wrong.

Repeatable quests are not counted for achievement.

This site lists the "Hard to find quests"

http://forums.gamershell.com/m-m-o-general/15098-wow-most-easy-miss-quests.html

This site lists many quests not possible to track by wowheads questgiver map.
Example: Cluck! in westfall is not listed in wowhead map as a quest.
See this as a complement to the other methods e.g. lists of "Quests by zone and/or source"

It helped me complete Loremaster Achivment. Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von Lejedifou

I've done alot of quests in Kalimdor. Doing all the quests was of one of my goal, before the achievements have been announced.
I did every quests (at least I thought) in each zone except for :
- Silithus : some quests regarding the opening of AQ gates. Red Shard : I'm at Vael (BWL in 5h). Green shard : stopped at Nightmare Corruption (4 shards to collect). Blue Shard : I need to collect the 8 pages of the book. Also I haven't done the 3 item set quests from the Cenarion Circle, nor the 2 items with badges.
- Teldrassil : no quest. I didn't like the night elf starting zone.
- Azuremyst and Bloodmyst : no quest.

That was my situation before going on PTR. I made a copy of my character (Human Rogue) on the PTR. Then I discovered I had 568/730 quests done.
So I started to do all the remaining quests with the "Low quest" filter :
- I found 2 quests in Darkshore I had missed
- Teldrassil gave me about 45 quests
- Azuremyst and Bloodmyst gave me about 115 quests

That makes 726 quests. Apart from Silithus, I couldn't find any other quest. I started exploring every zone, every corner to find any quest available. I used WoWhead to search for quests and I found 2 quests related to a drop on a rare mob on Teldrassil. I found it. 728/730.

Then I tried to do something else and decided to visit everything in Kalimdor to get the explorer achievement. I needed the ravine and the skull cave in Durotar. And that's where I found the 2 last quests for my achievement : the little gobelin outside Orgrimmar has 2 quests to offer to the Alliance ! Wowhead is wrong about those quests (tagged as Horde Only, fixed in comments but hard to guess when you're searching for alliance quests).

730/730. Achievement done. But that was really a hard one. Due to a bug, I was once able to see on PTR the total quests in Eastern Kingdoms I had done : 807/700. So easy compared to Kalimdor...

Edit : sorry for bad spelling and errors (not an english speaker)

Kommentar von Dyens

WOOT! done with all these quests took so long ><

Kommentar von Falquan

I am completely stumped. I have spent the last 2 days riding around Kalimdor doing every quest I can find. So many of the repeatables dont count towards this Achievement, so most of them I have done haven't helped.

I am still 40 quests short, and I have been everywhere I can think of and farmed "This Item Starts A Quest" items for ages, figuring I must have already done them after over 100 kills with no drop.

I have done about half of the AQ40 gate quests as I killed Broodlord in BWL ages ago, and am up to the raid ones. I have done all the new DWM quests, I have ridden down every road with Low Level Quest tracking on.

I have done the Elvish and Draenei starting zones, I have run the instances. I have got Wintersaber and Timbermaw to exalted, I have done the Magram Clan Centaur quests.... I have even done Vials of Eternity.

If I was one or two short I could understand it, but where am I supposed to find 40+ quests?

Update: What is making this really annoying is I am finding quests that start and end on Kalimdor, but they don't count. Pristine Yeti Hide, and the Razorfen Down/Kraul quests included.

Kommentar von Smaragd

Having just recently completed this achievement, I'll share with you my take on it. I'm a Night Elf Rogue.

How to beat this achievement

While becoming Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms is downright easy with tons of quests to spare, Kalimdor is far from a cakewalk. When I was at around 710 quests done, I had to use Wowhead to find every single quest, going through them all one by one (skipping Horde only, and quests I was 100% sure I had completed). I did this zone by zone, so that keeps it fairly organised. Ignore repeatable quests when the titles remain the same after you complete them. I have not recieved credit for any of these.

Remember that even though a quest chain sends you to Eastern Kingdoms, it seems to me that all the quests belong to the continent where the chain starts. An exception could be indirect chains, where you aren't directly given a new quest, but the quest you did is still considered a prequest to unlocking new ones.

Note that the quest tracker does not always update. I am not sure if there is a bug in some cases, but blue posts have confirmed that the tracking would not always update. Don't necessarily take for granted that a quest won't give you credit when you see someone post that.

But I can't do that quest because noone does AQ anymore!

Regarding this, I think that all quests that are considered unfair or impossible to do for any new players today are not included in this achievement. This seems likely, because it seems that I barely hit the 730 mark, and I can barely find a single remaining normal quest at this moment. I have done the Timbermaw exalted quest, but have not done the quests related to any of the two centaur clans in Desolace. I do not think the AQ chain counts.

What counts for the achievement?

Keep in mind that this is speculation.

I think that everything that falls under any of the following categories are excluded from the achievement: Instanced Raid-related in any way, PvP, Class, Race, Profession, Special (Like Collector's Edition or Chicken pet), Event/Seasonal or Repeatable/Daily (However, the monthly gem quest in Nagrand does count once).

Also note that none of this is true for the "total quests completed" achievement chain.

So what does this mean?

If everything above is correct, then this achievement should be achievable by anyone, and it's very well designed for the fact that you have to do just about every single normal quest. A decent challenge.

Edit (2008-11-21)
Shortened the post, removed details to make it less confusing.

Kommentar von spinkler

The RFK quest Blueleaf Tubers does NOT count toward this achievement.

Kommentar von 160078

Low-level quest tracking is your friend.

Kommentar von 88885

With 9 quests left to go I decided to try out the T.5 chain to see what it would yield. To start you'll need your class' T0 bracers. Here are my findings:

An Earnest Proposal - No
A Supernatural Device - Yes
The Ectoplasmic Distiller - Yes
Hunting For Ectoplasam - Yes
A Portable Power Source - Yes
A Shifty Merchant - Yes
Return to Deliana - No

After this you're required to pick up both the gloves and the belt. I did the next 4 quests (Just Compensation, In search of Anthion, Dead Man's Plea, and Proof of Life).
None of them are on Kalimdor and none of them count. After that it gets especially expensive, requiring items that take a fair amount of time and/or money to collect. Also, the next several quests in the chain may not even count so I've given up this chain for now at this point. I recommend that if you do this chain you stop at "Return to Deliana" if you have *any* other possible way to get this achievement done.

Still, even in the early quests it can be expensive, 20-40g for some quests outright and some extra mats on top of that. It's 5 extra quests that count though.

As a side-note... the quest "The Lost Tablets of Mosh'aru" from Tenaris does *not* count. Have not tried it's follow up yet.

I'm now stuck with 4 quests left and very few ideas for what to look for next. If you're doing this achievement now and find quests that are not obvious to try and that haven't been mentioned here before it would be helpful if you list the specific quests by name.

Kommentar von 219112

I am in a similar shortcoming, I have ridden to every part of Kalimador, I even checked by using the Quest per zone, checking each quest giver and point for drop, it really wasn’t that hard since the hub for quests are close and tied together, I spent already 300g, buying mats for repeatable, trying each with an additional failure, even the ogre suit in Dm, failure, this is bugged, there are over 750 quests absent class, absent profession in Kalimador, absent race, I even did the quest in Duro, right outside ORG. WTF, Blizzard. and why is alliance doing more in both Kal and Eastern for the same points.

Kommentar von spinkler

Is anybody able to confirm if the Morrowgrain quests in Feralas and Darnassus count towards this achievement?

(By this I mean the initial turn in, and not consecutive ones)

Kommentar von 219112

the quest in Duro did count, I was stating my lvl of exploration as I even rode into ORG and Thunder looking for quests. I think as stated above that this is a possible problem with server transfers. I had completed most of the quests in Kalimdor before May of 2005, when I returned to wow a year later, I noticed that a few quest had been reset, those in EPL probably due to that region about to undergo further change. I think that I havent seen credit for time my toon has spent on additional servers than where it presently resides. this occured to me when my TBC credit did not attribute previous server action. this i could and did recover, however I can't generate additional Quests in Kalimdor, I am waiting to see if the Darkmoon faire may provide more when it arrives.

However can anyone think of a reason why the alliance is having to work harder than the horde within both regions.

Kommentar von 234320

Does first turn in of logistic/battle/etc quests in Silithus count for Loremaster of Kalimdor achievment? The same question regarding E'ko quests in Winterspring.

Kommentar von 224146

I'd like to point out some areas you should definitely check if you are short on quests:
Collin Mauren - NPC in Stormwind, all his quests count towards Kalimdor
Gaim Rustfizzle - a gnome in Stonetalon. You might have forgotten to do his quest line til the very end.
Piznik - an easy-to-miss goblin in Stonetalon, has a couple of quests you might have missed as well

Hope this helps...

Kommentar von 39966

My 5 cents...

Feast at the Blue Recluse, becomes available after you completed Stinky's Escape in Dustwallow Marsh. This quest is in Stormwind, but still counts as Kalimdor one.
The Moss-twined Heart -- this quest in Teldrassil starts from a rare spawn mob and thus many players might miss it.
The Matron Protectorate -- starts in UBRS, gives you one step in Winterspring and then goes back to EPL (but who cares from that point on).

Kommentar von Serai

quests related to the dungeons zul'farrak and razorfen kraul do not count at this point

i assume this is a bug but the gm did not respond yet

Kommentar von Nukken

I did the two quests to turn in Abyssal Scepters and they both counted.
A Humble Offering
Scepter of the Council

I also did Shroud of Unspoken Names and Kris of Unspoken Names. They both counted, just need to get ahold of a ring.

The Volunteer's Battlegear quest did NOT count and i'm assuming the other 3 do not either.

Does anyone know if the three quests given from Malyfous's Catalogue count?

edit: Finished it. I had missed all 4 of the beached sea creatures in darkshore and the two quests the goblin gives you on the far north coast.

btw, I did one of the centaur factions but not the other and have not done done any of the scepter quests requiring neutral with brood.

Kommentar von 235205

Also, easy to miss is Get Me Outta Here! escort quest in Desolace, close to the Maraudon entrance.

Kommentar von Malphator

The quest from Mudcrush Durtfeet did not count towards this, for me.

Kommentar von skylaahylder

I finally finished this Achievement tonight. 730/730 after I did something I said I would never do. I got to 725 quests without picking one centaur faction or the other. My only options were to farm rep for BON or try the last step in upgrading the dungeon gear thru the quests. Since I did not have the helm/chest piece yet and my rep with BON is still 22k from nuetral I went the "easy" way and got friendly with Gelkis. I have more quests out there I know I do but I got this achievement done before I had to go back to work and all those extra quests can just count towards "The Seeker" title. Mainly I wanted to post because many many of you have been very helpful in pointing out the quests people have been missing the most. Alot of folks have been discouraging but I like to just tell folks it can be done keep chugging away and those of you with useful information please keep posting it. Thanks for the help,

The Lost Tablets of Mosh'aru did not count towards the 730. Ugh. Running out of options, at 719.

Kommentar von 235205

Make sure you get all the beached creatures in Darkshore, there are three on the small islands between Darkshore and Ashenvale which are easy to miss.

Kommentar von 233210

I just managed to complete this achievement with about 10-15 quests left over in Dustwallow Marsh. If you have been busy before TBC doing instances and raids and stuff, you will have no problem in doing this.

Kommentar von 47022

Yes.. having completed this achievement I can assure y'all that it will be a challenge, but it certainly *can* be done. Be sure to drain every quest-giver listed on WoWhead dry, double check for quests given from item drops and quest chains that start in EK and drift over, and don't be afraid to startup the Dungeon 2 upgrade quests and/or the AQ chain. Most people won't finish this over-night, but it most certainly can be done.

I can confirm that quests tagged as "Special", "Raid", and any location header that is not located in Kalimdor will not count. In addition, class-specific and profession-specific quests will also not count. "Dungeon" tagged quests will count, unless they are tied to world-events like the scourge invasion, etc.

Also - if you feel you're going to need to complete the Centaur reputation quests in Desolace, be certain to ally with the Gelkis Clan. They have a longer quest chain - which means more quests that count toward your Loremaster achievement.

Happy questing!

Kommentar von dustdog

http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=930 some people forget to pick up the strange plants. in my experience you must do glowing fruit before the shimmering frond. shimmering frond is 2 in 1 btw, denalan plants the seeds that grow plants which give a quest. don't forget to escort mist and do the bloodfeather quest, stupidly i had originally planned to do them but got distracted. sitting at 711, with gelkis, and a few others to do. since brood of nozdormu is out of reach, looks like i might have to give up dartol's rod. does onyxia's head give credit for kalimdor? i'm reading yes and no from various sources.

as an aside, many will probably have tried/already know it, but the 'investigate the scourge of darnassus' quest will not give credit to kalimdor loremaster; however it does for your total quest count. 'grove of the ancients' also doesn't count (why?)

one i'm keen to try out is 'the perfect poison' which requires drops from kurinaxx in aq20 and venoxis in zg; since people are doing achievements for these raids, it shouldn't be too hard to find a group; or atleast a few people who will help with them. they're not hard to get to at 70+ with a small group. comments on it's page says it does count, so that's 1 less to worry about

Kommentar von lorddoc

well i had 722 quests when the scrouge invasion started so i went and killed a few for AD rep, so stoped looking for quests today i looked at my accheivments and low and behold it said 730 which is odd, i shouldent complain but its weird how its done now and not before bliz must have done something

Kommentar von 236975

Kommentar von 237053

In wrath, there is one quest added in Un'Goro which counts toward kalimdor. The quest is called "The Activation Rune". The chain of quests start in Sholazar Basin and is for people of level 78ish.

Kommentar von dakoth

I just got ~8 more quests after today's maintenance patch, so it appears they fixed something (went from 716 or 717 to 724).

Kommentar von Balrog

I believe Blizzard flagged at least a few quests that were previously not counting for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement as counting today. Yesterday, I logged out with 729 quests completed out of 730 and didn't play until today when I log on to see that all realms were restarted during my absence. I log on and am surprised to see that I earned the Loremaster of Kalimdor, and it says I did complete 730 quests, so I think these restarts fixed that for at least a few quests.

Kommentar von 237140

I did this now, finally hitting 730.

Looking back in perspective, you do actually have some quests to spare, I was actually choosing what quests I wanted to end it with. I did not need to do the AQ line, just took the first one where you talk with the dragon in Tanaris. I did Tier 0.5 until Baron, but after that the mats became just tedious so I didn't bother further.

A few hints:
-Do a Dire Maul North Tribute Run. Both the Ogre Suit, Unfinished Gordok Business and The Gordok Taste Test counted. I really didn't expect those, so that was a pleasant surprise.
-Easy to miss, the dwarven corpse by the lift in Thousand Needles. Only that quest counts, the RFK followup doesn't.
-Get Timbermaw to Friendly (Easy, do all their quest up to that point, and also hand in Deadwood Ritual Totem, Winterfall Ritual Totem and Runecloth (30 Runecloth). Those all counts.
-Mudcrush in Dustwallow now counts (I did him today and it counted)
-I'm pretty sure that both Bring the Light (RFD) and Knowledge in the Deeps (BFD) counted.
-Chicken Escort quests in Feralas and Tanaris, those two actually equals 4 total quests. (2 for locating the chicken, 2 for visiting the goblin in Booty Bay)

Kommentar von 219112

The gather quest for Brood Rep counted twice. I did this while testing the Combat Quest in Sith. Combat did not count, however the first two turnins for Brood Rep did work. Offcourse i had to redo BWL to get the prequest out of the way.

Kommentar von Serai

the 2 timbermaw exalted quests do count,. its just quite a bit of work

since it seems some more quests are counting now, can anyone confirm if the issue zul farrak and razorfen kraul count?

dont forget http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12866 btw

Kommentar von 235205

Ok, I got credited for eight quests after the maintenance, and went from 716 to 724. I got 730/730 last night, and here is my two cents:

- You CAN do it without any of the AQ scepter quests
- You CAN do it without raising rep with Timbermaw/Wintersaber Trainers
- I did one set of Desolace centaur quests (you don't have to grind rep with the other faction and do their quests as well to reach the achievement)
- I am a miner, so I had one extra quest for the salve in Felwood, but that did not make too much difference, since I still had two quests left to complete when I hit 730.
- I only finished the first quest of the Tier 0.5 chain, and I currently still have the Hunting for Ectoplasm in my log.
- I did all the quests by Aurel Goldleaf in Silithus, only took a bit of grinding for the Twilight Trappings set, although you might also find some in the AH. Had no trouble killing any of the elites (MH/BT-geared hunter).

Try not to:
- Miss Gaxim Rustfizzle, Kaela Shadowspear and Ziz Fizziks in Stonetalon Mountains, quite a nice bundle of 15-ish quests there.
- Forget to check the new quests in Forest Song in Ashenvale.
- Miss the Faintly Glowing Crystal from an Infested Nighstalker Runt in Azuremyst Isle, two quests there. This item which begins a quest is easily missed even if you did the Azuremyst quests, because no other quest leads you to killing this specific mob.
- Miss the Stillpine Hold quests in Azuremyst Isle. This is a special note for those who were grinding Exodar rep before - since these give no rep, perhaps you did one or two quests and not bothered with the rest, forgetting completely about them (personal experience :)). There is a total of 8 quests from/involving Moordo, High Chief Stillpine, Stillpine the Younger, Gurf and Kurz the Revelator.
- Miss the two quests from Wizzlecrank's Shredder in north Barrens (I think there is a Ratchett quest which takes you close to those coords).
- Miss the shore quests in Desolace. I found this Desolace questing guide Desolace for Alliance v2.0 quite useful, with the addition of the Get Me Out of Here! escort quest which is not mentioned there. Also, I followed the caravan until they got to each of the locations and did both caravan escort quests, they both counted.
- Don't forget to pick up the The Giant Guardian before going to Shay Leafrunner in Feralas. You can pick up the escort quest from her as well, but you will lose one quest if you don't talk to him first.

I'll edit if anything else comes to mind. Good luck and have fun. :)

Kommentar von Yume

Ok, getting this achievement done is quite hard.

But after last maintenance downtime I noticed that my count raised (I was at 716 quests counted and 5 in my quest log, today I saw that i was at 728). So I ended getting this by simply doing a couple of maraudon quests I skipped during levelling.

I think that Blizzard fixed some quests locations (IE the RKF and/or RFD ones) so that those can be counted for reaching this achievement. Check it out better now.

But again I repeat: getting this done is a quite a hard work but if they fiixed some quest locations can be done by all; it just takes a lot of time because this means doing more than 95% of Kalimdor's quests.

Kommentar von 95483

There are 11 beached turtles in Darshore that doesn't show up as a quest giver, they all count.

The non-repeatable cloth turn-in quests (A Donation of Wool, Silk, Mageweave, Runecloth) in Darnassus does not count towards this achievement, and neither does the Head of Onyxia quest.

Kommentar von MrGuru

Having just completed the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, most of the chain counts towards the achievement, but it's not needed.

Kommentar von 94806

I have gone though this topic up and down to do the quests people have listed and i am still 6 shy. I can grind the centuar/Timbermaw/Frostsaber ones but people keep saying they didnt do those or the raid quests. Well what ones did you do to finish up your achievments if you didnt do any of those long grinds? I have scoured everything I could find and finished up what I could now I'm 6 shy.

EDIT: 727/730...did the tier.0 chain almost finished that but dont think anymore of it counts still working.

Kommentar von nd836

I just completed this achievement tonight through the help of the comments on this page. I did not go past the Head of Broodlord Lashlayer quest in the AQ40 quest line. I did not resort to grinding exalted with the Timbermaw. I did not have to do the Centaur faction quests in Desolace. Here is my advice:

-If you are not sure of what quest you have done while looking through the quest list from Wowhead's database then take the time to go to the quest givers. For example, http://www.wowhead.com/?zone=405 make sure you set "Show on map..." to "Alliance" (option is above the top left of the map picture) so there will be indicators on the map as to where you should look.
-If you are a Blacksmith, http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5124#comments:id=427803 "Fiery Plate Gauntlets" will count for credit.
-Other people have listed uncommon quest givers on this page, use them. (I did have to do the Dire Maul North ogre quests, Piznik in Stonetalon, ect)

Gl to everyone attempting this.

Kommentar von DerSquirrel

The E'ko turn-in quests in Winterspring do NOT count towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Kommentar von 238834

This achievement is NOT easy but certainly doable for all players.
ui have completed it yesterday on EU-dragonblight server.
here are the things you DON'T need to do :
1. You don't have to be exalted with timbermaw (which open more quests)
2. You don't have to do the T0.5 armor quest chain BUT IT COUNTS if you do em (i done only the wrist to check that it counts)
3. You don't have to do the Hyppograph egg quests even once (i haven't done em at, cba with round trips to get 1 egg at a time)
4. You don't have to do seasonal quests
5. You don't have to do Wrold event Quests
6. You don't have to do the AQ secpter chain quest BUT IT COUNTS if you do it
7. Sillthus armor quests Doesn't count as well as any of the repeatable quests there.

ok those are the things you DON'T have to do.
what you do have to do is :
1.serach zone 1 by 1 and do all possiable quests, use wowhead to track down quests (i found wowhead the BEST site for that)
2 note that several quests will open in each zone AFTER, you have already complete "all" the quests in that zone. i.e. http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9674 start after you completed http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9671, but you can't go to the NPC and take it. you have to recive an in-game mail which starts the quest.......
3. after you have completed all zone, if you don't have that achivment done yet. scan the zones again\
4. note that several EK quest counts to Kalimdor so go do them
5. note that several quest don't count at the start (espcially on chains), but then when you hand in a certian part of the chain, it will count as more then one quest. i.e. http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4005 counted as 3 quests for me (i was on 727/730 and once i've handed it in got to 730/730) wired if you ask me

NOTE : it seems that several quests were reset to me as if i have never done em after patch 3.0.2, as i was scaning the zone i discovered they are avilable to me again, which was wired i am 99.99999% sure i have done em before so you might wanna check it out

Edit : i still have quests in Kalimdor after hitting the 730/730 mark

Kommentar von Ladysarah

As above poster, I completed this quest yesterday. It's just about doable, but its no walk in the park and I'm surely not doing this again. I've come across a few good tips here questwise but i've found a lot of quests I never even heard of, so I'll list a few of them below, hope its any help.

Teldrassil: Mist, an escort quest i never saw before. Also make sure to get the quests off the glowing fruits and The Sleeping Druid inside the Ban'ethil Barrow Den

Darkshore: Easiest ever: there are 9 beached creatures, each and every single one of them counts. 3 are north of Auberdine along the beach, 6 are south of it, all the way down. Gyromasts Retrieval comes from a gnome captain (arr) way up north along the beach. One Shot, One Kill is a very easy quest in the hills near the Ashenvale border, and I never spotted it before. In case you feel lucky, the cultists at the Masters Glaive drop a book The Powers Below that counts as well, and at the same spot is a druidgirl you can escort.

Azuremyst Isle: Most quests here are pretty obvious, apart from a few drop quests: Bandits is a bit of work, you'll have to run down the spawnpoints to find a bloodelf but its doable. Gurf's Dignity drops from a named murloc along the hovels south and Rune Covered Tablet drops from the naga just west of Odysseus Landing. Also kill at least a few infected nightsaber runts to get Strange Findings which starts from a crystal they drop.

Bloodmyst Isle: Again, just a few drop quests that are harder to come by. First of all note that Signs of the Legion is bugged as of patch 3.0.1, the demon does not spawn. I guess future patches will fix the issue. Cruelfin's Necklace drops off a named murloc on the beach named Rawgrlgrlgrlgrlgrrgle! Yes, thats his actual name. Also note that the final quests on Bloodmyst Isle are now only available to Draenei players, and im not even sure if they count for them.

Stonetalon Mountains: Two quests for stonetalon starts in Stormwind, Collin Mauren in the mage quarter is the one you're looking for. Then there's a goblin down in the Windshear Mine, who will ask you to defend him from a couple of kobolds. Gerenzo's Orders also has a followup to hand in the ore he mines, so its 2 quests easily done while you're there.

Ashenvale: All BFD quests count, so do those. Furthermore, stating the obvious - don't forget the elf sitting near the Zoram Strand, Talen. He starts The Ancient Statuette. There's also a quest from a drop by the demons on Felfire Hill, Diabolical Plans but thats pretty hard to miss if you do the regular quests there that start in Forest Song.

Azshara: Only one questline that really makes you work in Azshara starts on the border of Blasted Lands, at the Fallen hero of the Horde. The first few quests are in Blasted Lands itself, but later on you're send off to Kalimdor where you'll end up doing a quest or 5. Time consuming but much needed quests.

The Barrens: Wailing Cavern quests count, 2 start in Ratchet (make sure to do the prequest Raptor Horns first, after that he'll send you to WC) and the rest is in the cave above the instance if you're Alliance. RFK quests did NOT count, so save yourself the hassle. RFD quests DID count, one of them starts in SW Cathedral, the rest is near or at the instance. Don't forget A Host of Evil given right outside the entrance of RFD (the pig's head).

Feralas: Dire Maul quests count, but I never did any of the tribute run quests. Some quests start at Feathermoon, but another starts at the Lariss Pavilion, Pusilin and the Elder Azj'Tordin. It's the quest that makes you chase the imp in DM East. Another great questline in Feralas starts just east of Dire Maul at the Grimtotem camp. Freedom for All Creatures is the first questline you'll get from Kindal Moonweaver. Once you've been send off to Darnassus however, return to her and she'll start a SECOND questline called An Orphan Looking For A Home which sends you off around the world but in total has about 8 or so quests that ALL count for Kalimdor. Another 'rare' quest starts at the giant all the way north near the Ruins of Ravenwind, The Giant Guardian.

Desolace: First the questlines that start at Nijel's from the dwarf from reclaimers inc Reagents for Reclaimers Inc. Do note you have to complete Business in Desolace before the quests are available to you. There is also several goblins in Desolace that give out quests. There's a goblin with kodo's just north of the graveyard, as well as a goblin at the graveyard itself that will give you Ghost-o-plasm Round up. There's also the quest to escort the goblin caravan, and an escort quest that starts outside Maraudon called Get Me Out Of Here!.
All Maraudon quests count as well.

Felwood: I personally didn't find any new quests here, I did not try to cleanse any flowers/plants. Getting the beacon itself from the elf just south of the Emerald Sanctuary does count as a quest, also make sure to do all the Timbermaw quests given to you both south and north in Felwood, as well as on the other side of the tunnel in Winterspring.

Winterspring: If you're an oldschool player like me, you might have missed out on the hunting quests the tauren gives you at Everlook, starting with Ursius of the Shardtooth and the e'ko quest Luck Be With You. Only the e'ko prequest counts, handing in any of the E'ko does not count as a quest, not even the first time. Other then that, nothing new over there :)

Un'Goro Crater: Most quests start at Marshals Refuge, another few start at the Tauren near the entrance coming from Tanaris. A few quests are more hidden though but worth doing. First of all, do the Linken questline. It's a lot of hassle for travelling but its around 13 quests. It starts at a sunken boat southeast: It's a Secret to Everybody.
Another remote quest starts at a goblin at the Golakka Hot Springs, Finding the Source. Handing in 15 bloodpetal sprouts for the kodo at Marshals Refuge won't count as a quest, it merely gives you a bunch of lvl45 supplies.

Kommentar von Ladysarah

Tanaris: As stated in other posts, the pirate treasure quest doesnt count. Also the Sunken Temple quests given by Maron Rivetseeker do NOT count, as well as the tablet quests that send you away to Eastern Kingdoms. As a rule of thumb: the quest only counts for Kalimdor if its listed in your log under a zone thats in Kalimdor, whether the quests start there or not. Tanaris also has 2 escort quests. One starts at a turtle in the Thistleshrub Valley Tooga's Quest. The other is one of the famous robotic chickens who crashed in the hills just north of the gaping chasm, Rescue OOX-17/TN! Also, doing Nice Hat... for Don Carlos in Old Hillsbrad does NOT count towards this achievement. I did also not hand in any eggs you can find in southern Feralas, at the gnome girl and her eggmachine in Gadgetzan. I have seen posts claim it counts once, also seen posts saying it doesnt count at all. If you're really running low on quests and are sure you never done it, it might be worth a shot but i'd leave it be otherwise!

Silithus: I did not do any of the AQ20/40 armor quests, I also never got the head of Broodlord Lashlayer (my rolling skills suck!) so those quests are NOT needed to get this achievement done.
You'll have to run down most of the original quests there though.

Thousand Needles: Make sure to do all quests at the Shimmering Flats, there's quite a lot of them actually. Also don't forget the book just below the Great Lift, Lonebrow's Journal. Apart from those I haven't found any other Alliance quests in Thousand Needles.

Durotar: As stated in posts before me, the goblin on the road near Orgrimmar gives out 2 quests that count for Alliance as well.

Dustwallow Marsh: Make sure you do all the new quests that have been introduced 6 months ago, most start at Theramore Isle and Mudsprocket, but there's also a couple at the towers down the road as well as at Witch Hill and a Tabetha's Farm. Also make sure to drop by the inn on the border with The Barrens as the items there will give you another 3 easy quests + followups.

Hope all of this helps you fanatic achievement gainers out there to finish this Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement. It's pretty rough and especially the 600-700 bit is a drag to do once you run out of hubs, but whenever you think you're out of quests, a new one will pop up somewhere :)
Make sure to run down all the zones on WoWhead and double check them yourself if you're unsure. Goodluck!

Just finished a few moments ago, with a few turn-ins to spare.

First thing's first -- if you want to successfully reach the magic number of 730, then you MUST do your homework, starting with reading all of the helpful comments above, and eventually, below mine.

As said many times before, there are something like 10-12 beached animals in Darkshore, and they all count.
Dire Maul quests that did count for me -- 1) class book turned into the library (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7499), 2) Felvine Shard (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5526), 3) Pusillin (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7441), 4) Lethtendris (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7488), 5) Ogre Suit (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5518), 6) quest from guard Kromkrush after tribute run (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7703)
Dire Maul quest that didn't count for me -- 1) quest to place Frost Trap down to capture Guard Slip'kik (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1193).
There are a handful of quests that count towards Kalimdor from the Tier 0.5 armor questline that begins in the King's room in IF. Pricey, but worth it obviously if you find yourself short on quests.

Kommentar von Hallheal

DONE FINALLY! Thank you all for the tips...it was driving me crazy doing this quest. What really helped was all the items that started quests since when you're high level killing lowbie things, you don't generally pick up their crap...at least I don't lol. Learnt my lesson if I ever have to do this again!

Kommentar von 95508

As previous posters have stated, the Tablet quests in Tanaris don't currently count towards this achievement and I'm pretty sure that Confront Yeh'kinya didn't count for me either. However, the final quest in the chain (The Hand of Rastakhan) DID count when I handed it in a few moments ago. Might be worth bearing this in mind if you're struggling for those last few quests.

Kommentar von Talragan

For the last 2 weeks I have been doing this achievement. Looking in forums, wowhead, thottbot and other sites for quests. Scouring each zone one by one, npc by npc, drop by drop. When I logged out before the patch yesterday I was at 724/730. I was confident I would be able to find 6 more quests. Now I log on this morning and it has me at 714/730. Far from improving things the patch has made it worse.

I am usually not one to complain but, after this I have decided to give up till something is done.

Hope others have better luck.

EDIT. Ok After this post I got insanely mad and decide not to let blizzard beat me. I rescoured kalimdor once again and managed to complete this achievement.

I found one mara quest i had missed, from willow in desolace.
I found a four chain quest i had missed in felwood, crimson key dropping from jaedenar mobs.
I found 3 quests in dranei starting area,
Lastly I hadnt realised how many quests the mini boss summoning quests in silithus gave, which put me up to just 730.

Despite this I realise in retrospect i do have a few quests spare which i could have done. DM chest run, molten core quests as well as AQ sceptre line. Apart from that I have ZERO quests left in Kalimdor.

I am relieved this is over. Hopefully more people get it.

Kommentar von 240469

I just don't understand why we have to make 700+730 quests, and the Horde only 550+700.

EK was a joke: got it when achievemets came out, and still there are lots to do above the 700. But Kalimdor's 730 is just too much. I've read lots here in the comments, other sites - traveled through the continent with Low Level quest tracking and found out that i can reach the 730. Yeah but i need the MC (water q), BWL (Silithus - Broodlord's head), and the Poison quest for ZG/AQ20. Have 717 now, with these and maybe some AQ20 item-giving quests i can reach 730.

And i don't know how can this be? Horde has to make only 550+700? Blizzard must be kidding.

Kommentar von 172375

I am at 695/730 and apart from a few quests I really can't find any more to do. I did a lot of thse quests years ago shortly after release. I am a very thorough player so I'm sure it is bugged. Some players who started later seem to be able to get to 730 with more ease.

Kommentar von darchik

I ended Monday night with 728/730. Logged in Tuesday to 718/730. Managed to find enough quests that I was back up to 726/730. Logged in Wednesday to have the Achievement completed...

So long as it doesn't take the achievement away after you get it, I'll stay happy! :P

Kommentar von 220153

Yeah, pretty much the same experience for me. Logged in this morning and had magically hit it after losing 10 quests from the patch. Only thing I wish is that I'd been able to have the "poof you just got an achievement" moment--it's a bit anti-climactic this way. :/ Now to decide between rep grinding and EK loremaster...

Kommentar von 241323

I completed this achievement. I did use part of the AQ opening to boost my numbers. But I do however think it's possible to do it without it. There are a few quests that people probably dont know about that chain over from EK to Kalimdor. There are several quests given from stormwind that when completed give Kalimdor credit, so i suggest doing as many ek quests as u can, and you will see Kalimdor go up. There is also a quest line from the ghost orc between SoS and Blasted Lands that gives a few quests for blasted lands, then u kill a felhunter which provides a quest to goto aszhara, and that leads to about 5-6 more Kalimdor quests. Also, now that everything is pretty much easy, the head of Ossirian in aq20 is also a quest that completes for Kalimdor. In my experience, none of the instance/class quests worked for the achievement, so i wouldnt even bother with those, except the one out of WC from the final boss, because it's a chain with quests all over Barrens. There are also 2 quests that you can get in Durotar from goblins that most people just dont even go there to know about. And I suggest you search wowhead for "This item starts a quest" items. Because there are about 10-15 of those that you can do spread out over the map. 5 of which being on the exodar island. Hope this helps, happy loremasters to you. Before 3.0 I didnt do any quests in dustwallow, I went there and completed 76 quests total.

Kommentar von 241345

I have just spoken to a GM and he confirms that there are issues with this achievement causing some quests not to count when they should have.
They are looking in to it and it will be corrected in a future patch.

Kommentar von 69784

I'm a living example of being able to do it w/o touching AQgates chain and t0.5 chain.

It's much of a pain though. Farming all "this item starts a quest" stuff. Surfing through wowhead zones for quests...
But its doable :)

-i am Cenarion Circle, Timbermaw and Wintersabers exalted

Kommentar von 241540

Wow, just finished this achievement tonight... was a pretty awesome journey scouring the continent for unfinished quests. Was especially tough since the character I did this with is about 3 years old, so I had no idea what was missed..

Here's a couple pointers, I did read through the pages of comments, but some may be repeats:

- Be sure to grab the quest from the NE just below the last boss of RFK, he gives a quest which you take to Darnassus

- After the final boss of Uldaman, check the room which opens up - there's a quest that takes to you IF, and then to Tanaris, the Tanaris quest counts for the Kalimdor total

- Be sure to do the Murloc boss in WC, he drops a quest starting item which takes you to a few places, all of which count

- Check the Jaedenar cave in Felwood, theres an escort quest in there which also leads to another quest after that

- Also in Felwood, talk to an NPC at Emerald Sanctuary and see if she'll give you http://www.wowhead.com/?item=11445 in case you did not do this quest previously (it will not show up as a question mark) - this item starts an escort quest which in the past was very long and not worth the effort, so a lot of people skipped it.

- In Un'goro don't forget Finding the Source - hes in the middle of nowhere so it's easy to miss

- Get the RFD quest from the Cathedral in stormwind

- If you have to, check the AH for the Abyssal Scepter for the quest in Silithus.. I ended up getting one for 50g which might not be worth it for some

- there is an escort quest at the very northern tip of Silvermyst Isle (South West of Azuremyst Isle)

- if you become Friendly (takes like 30 mins of grinding from neutral) with Timbermaw Hold, you get a quest to hand in 30 runecloth which counts towards the total

That's all i've got right now... but i'd like to give a big thanks to the people in this thread, your contributions were greatly appreciated!

Kommentar von TheLazarusHeart

This achievement has major, major bugs. Being a night elf, I leveled in Kalimdor. Not only that, but I recently made a complete sweep of the continent to pick up any quests I may have missed (I've completed the T0.5 and AQ chains). Yet currently, it is showing me as 129 quests short of the goal. That's just not possible.

An older post mentioned a bug that didn't count quests in starter zones. Draenei starters give about 115, and night elves give around 30, so I believe this is exactly what my problem is. Ticket open, but no response yet.

Kommentar von nabziF

Lists of easily missed quests are great, but they're rather random, and a bit redundant sometimes. What we need is a definitive, annotated list (I guess using a brand new toon) of every single quest that counts, since apparently Wowhead's lists are inconsistent (some quests taking place in EK counting toward the Kalimdor achievement for example). I don't suppose anyone is working on such a list?

What would be even more useful is if Wowhead (or Thottbot or Allahkazam, anything) had the ability to check off quests, like a checklist. That way it would be easy to filter down to just the ones you'd missed. Anyone know of a tool like this? In the meantime, probably will resort to just making a spreadsheet...

Kommentar von Inchhigh

Just completed this myself, will admit at times i was close to just quitting.

having re-rolled at the start of TBC, this was a fairly long process to do, as skipped most quests upto 60.

Thank you to all the contributors above for their tips, used plenty of them as a resource for them tricky to find quests.

What i did have to do though.

Grinded exalted with CC to do all the quests there. (get a boomkin to help you here was insanely fast)
Did 2 turn ins from AQ20.
Did the Centaur Quests in Desolace.
Did the Tier .5 upto handing in the Belt/Gloves.
Did the MC Prequests, Including killing 1 of each mod in MC (Didn't do the next part as needed honored).

Didn't do ANY of the AQ40 Scepter Quests.

NOTE: I did the Super Egg o Matic quest in Gadgetzan and that did NOT count.

Also the RFK quests is a known issue, and will be rectified with a patch. So if you know you are short make sure you have these done, and wait for the patch to get credited for them.

Anyway to eveyone on this Achievement you have my total respect if you complete it, i know how hard it really is.

Kommentar von 242530

I just have to say i really find it strange that wenn you look at the horde version of this achievement that there are sooo mutch less people complaining about it then on the alliance side.
Plus i have done a few quests with friends and with some quest my friend got 1 quest extra and with me nothing and no that was not a repeateble quest or something like that just a normal quest.

I really must say for the people that did get it completed respect because i am now at 706 and spended more that 1,5 week allready on this &*!@ and i just cant find anything els, did everything that is all ready posted here but i dont get any quests anymore :(

I really hope that blizzard will change a thing or 2 about this achievment for the allience because to be fare wenn the horde dont have problems with it wy should we + they have to fix that quests counts for everybody and not for the one and not for the other that just isn't right.

Sry about my english havent written anything in english for awile :P

Kommentar von killerkarl

When the patch went live I already had the Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and Outlands completed but was a little under 100 away from it in Kalimdor. I had already done all the AQ quests back in the day and my T .5 set quests so there wasn’t anymore to pick up there. I printed out a list of quests and went zone by zone picking up the ones that I had missed, the hard to find quest posting were very helpful in increasing my quest total. At the end of all of this I was sitting at 720/730. I had dropped the questline once I got Dartol's Rod of Transformation so I went back and continued it for steps 7-10. Then I went to Desolace and grinded the other centaur rep to friendly so I could do their 6 quests. Bam 730/730 DONE!

I have no more quests left to do except for the last one where I would lose the rod and have since done well over 100 in the Eastern Kingdoms that I had missed. This makes me think that there has to be quite a number of quests for Kalimdor that are not counting correctly for whatever reason. One might want to consider just waiting for a fix to be implemented by Blizzard before going through this hell.

Kommentar von 242796

Is there any chance someone could enlighten me as to where the majority of the 'crossover' quests begin? I've got a little over 610 quests complete, and was hoping to use the quests that start in Eastern Kingdoms to get the remaining 120 or so left.

Kommentar von Xenomech

Here's a site detailing a quest chain in Feralas that's easily overlooked. As a bonus, you get a pet sprite darter in the end!

http://playthingofthegods.net/SpriteDarterHatchlingGuide/SpriteDarterHatchlingGuide.htm

Kommentar von 127328

Well, I had to backtrack into a lot of places.

Desolace to get the two escort quests (had to camp there for an hour and nearly missed it due to an untimely gank).

Azuremyst for the escort at the north end of Silvermyst Isle.

Feralas for the Sprite Darter line, the homing beacon, and the Dire Maul imp quest.

Felwood for the flute of Xavathras escort.

And to finish it off I ended up doing the Abyssal Duke thing in Silithus. Handing in the Signet put me at 730.

I wound up not having to do much raid stuff, or grind Timbermaw/Wintersaber/etc. exalted, nor did I have to get the other centaur faction.

This achievement will likely be nerfed when enough people complain that Horde only has to do like 30 less in EK and 200 less here -- a valid complaint IMO :P -- but I can definitely say "I did this before it was easy!"

Kommentar von 146841

I got this yesterday on my human rogue.

It's pretty straight forward.

There are two tips I have that made it possible.

Using the Gordok Ogre Suit you are able to unlock Captain Kromcrush's quest and Stomper Kreeg's quest.

More importantly, buying Shadowcraft Bracers for 3 gold resulted in 5 kalimdor quests.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Kommentar von 243283

Achieved yesterday on Nightelf Druid.

Since this character is so old, the hardest part, by far, was remembering, and often not remembering, what quests I had completed.

Finished it by doing the first 2 Duke Hydraxis quests in Azshara, for some reason I had thought that they were all raid stuff and hadn't swam out there before. The first two are completely and easily soloable.

Do be sure to do the Fallen Hero line through to the STV delivery.

Do pick up and do the entire Sprite Darter line.

I did do one side on the centaurs. That wasn't too painful.

I had previously gotten friendly with Timbermaw, so I may have done a quest at that time, but certainly no higher.

Otherwise I used all the good suggestions from previous comments, Durotar, rare mob quest drops, escort quests I had overlooked. Centaur pariah. Nothing too weird or raid-like. DM quests were the hardest bit, since I had to get a bit of help for that.

It can be accomplished by a casual, but semi-obsessed player.

Kommentar von 11243

I just got this today thanks in part to all the great comments here.

To add a few things of my own, several of which are no doubt repeats...

I kept two Wowhead pages open throughout my quest, one with the zone I was working in and the map set to display quest givers. The other was an item list filtered to display "This Item Starts a Quest" items and a second filter for the zone I was in.

Work on this Achievement before you do Runecloth turn ins for City reps you will get tons of rep from all these quests.

If there is a quest that starts from a dropped item that your not sure you have ever done or not, a polite request to a GM can sometimes help you out, they were able to tell me which of the three chicken escort quest I had done saving me alot of time farming for something that wouldn't have dropped.

Most importantly be patient and methodical, at first I jumped in randomly and I ended up having to revisit many zones, do the zones in the same order you would if you where leveling up follow the normal progression and it will minimize running. This achievement is doable with wiggle room left to spare, not much but there is some. Just when you think there isn't possible any more quests you could do you will find another cluster or find something you missed. Just stick to it and you will have it done in no time.

Kommentar von DarkShinigami

For everyone who thinks this is unbalanced, it's not just this. For the Loremaster title, the Alliance has a total of 283 more quests than the Horde.

For the Alliance: 1430 for Azeroth, 568 for Outland, 875 for Northrend
For the Horde : 1250 for Azeroth, 595 for Outland, 745 for Northrend
Difference of: 180 More Vanilla quest for the Alliance; 27 more Outlands quests for the Horde; 130 more Northrend quests for the Alliance.

Outland wasn't too bad on either side, same for Northrend. Both of those seem balanced to what is available to each faction. Honestly, vanilla is the only thing that seems to be VASTLY unbalanced, but Blizz could cut the Alliance a little slack to balance the totals out, at the very least.

Just finished this beast. The last 30 quests were rough, here are a few that I missed that I haven't seen mentioned here.

A Reliquary of Purity: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5527
-- I ran around Moonglade with low-level quest tracker and this NPC didn't have a quest available. However, if you talk to him a quest DOES become available. It's 2 more quests for the achievement. You need to have been in Dire Maul first to talk to him.

Covert Ops: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1079
-- These two quests have TWO prereqs, which made the gnome's 3 quests not show up for me because I had not done the Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun quest.
-Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1074
-Special Delivery for Gaxim http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1077

Think the other quests I used have been mentioned.

Kommentar von Kerrianne

Something else for people to consider:

I've been working on this one for days now, and I'm finding that a lot of the quests that are counting towards Kalimdor are parts of chains that I abandoned over 2 years ago when I was leveling.

Why? I think the sheer travel time involved. Kalimdor seems to have more time-wasting quests, imho, and that usually means traveling long distances or just generally large amounts of time not spent earning XP, which usually results in people abandoning quests in favor of faster XP gaining methods.

I know that's the case for me, since I had quite a bit of the Shimmering Flats travel quests still there, as well as Linken's whole quest chain & the Fallen Hero of the Horde chain.

Currently at 718/730, with a few quests left to turn in.

After that, I'll go do Storm Peaks & finish Icecrown, and reaps my rewards!

Kommentar von 14782

I am almost positive this achievement is bugged in some way. I have scoured every corner of the world for quests going to and from Kalimdor (and I'm positive I've finished every damn quest in the Eastern Kingdoms).

All I have left is the AQ scepter questline, and exalted Timbermaw to grind out. And the myriad of quests in CH that requires idols and scarabs from AQ20 and 40. Short of that I have to un-grind 35,000 rep of hated Magram Centaurs to get at the 5 or so quests from their leader, and I'm not willing to do that until I'm at 725 or higher. It appears that the older your character is, the worse this seems to be to achieve, and not just because you dont know which quests you have and haven't done. I'm beginning to think that a lot of the quests I did as a young druid 2 years ago have somehow not counted. I am also hearing some talk about characters involved in realm transfers are being the worst hit by this bug, which makes sense considering I've hopped at least 3 realms in the last 2 years.

I've been to every starting zone, found every quest giver, found every drop quest that would drop with 20 minutes of farming for it, used the Wowhead Alliance quest giver only maps, every instance quest and been to every hidden NPC and all their wacky annoying escorts.

Currently sitting on 718/730. I know this achievement is within my reach, but compared to the eastern kingdoms achievement this is a real pain in the ass. This Achievement has more bugs than AQ.

Kommentar von 264289

I was also stuck at this achivement and the hidden quests mentioned here really helped me a lot!

I dont think anyone mentioned this one yet. When I was out doing the centaur quests in Desolace I found a centaur without any faction patroling around the southern end of the zone called Centaur Pariah, he gave me this quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7067

Kommentar von 122312

Finally done today!

One tip, almost all the quests in Shimmering Flats that send you to EK give Kalimdor credit, and those that don't will send you back for a good 2-3 more Kalimdor credit quests in the chain, so keep going if a quest sends you to EK.

Just keep it up, and you'll eventually get there. This achievement is definitely an achievement.

Kommentar von 253833

I just finished this achivement with all the help that came from everyone in theise comments.
I think if everyone would contribute a hard to find/forget quest, this achivement can become cake.

I had forgotten this chain on my shaman since when BC came out the flute was bugged and wouldn't drop for Draenei's

Good Luck.

Kommentar von veno3

This achievment is in line for some changes.

Loremaster of Kalimdor has been changed from 730 to 700 quests for the Alliance, from 700 to 685 quests for the Horde. It seems that they no longer include Silverpine Forest quests and now take Darnassus, Exodar, and Caverns of Time quests into account.

Source: http://www.mmo-champion.com

EDIT: fixed typo.

Kommentar von Murasaki

If you leveled your character pre-BC, you may not have finished Freed from the Hive in Feralas. It's part of a quest chain starting with The Missing Courier at Feathermoon Stronghold.

Originally you were supposed to escort an NPC out of a silithid hive at the Writhing Deep, but it bugged out a lot and many people couldn't complete it. Eventually, Blizzard fixed the quest by taking out the escort part!

Just go down into the hive, open the "!"-marked pod to pick up the quest, and wait for the NPC to finish talking to complete the objective.

Finish the chain for three more Kalimdor quests.

As of test realm patchnotes for 3.0.8 (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html)

Achievements
The Loremaster of Kalimdor Achievement has had its quest amount reduced.

Considering these are test realm patch notes they are subject to change, but as it stands now only a very small reduction in quest amount will grant a fair amount of players this achievement.
On one hand I'm glad, for as it stands I am at 719 of 730 and I while can still squeeze 5-6 quests out of Kalimdor, it's looking increasingly difficult to get to 730.
I won't say it's impossible to get the achievement without the AQchain/Exhalted quests because there may be quests I have overlooked, but it doesn't change the fact that it's pretty hard - which leads me to hoping that the amount of quests isn't reduced by too much, because that would make it pretty easy and imho remove the achievement part of the achievement.

Edit: seems like I got beaten by a couple of posters ;)

Loremaster of Kalimdor has been changed from 730 to 700 quests for the Alliance and from 700 to 685 quests for the Horde.

Silverpine Forest quests will now correctly count towards the Eastern Kingdoms rather then Kalimdor. If you have already completed the Kalimdor achievement via the Silverpine quests you will not lose it although the correct count will be displayed in your achievement panel.

Many quests in Darnassus, The Exodar, and the Caverns of Time which did not previously count towards the Loremaster achievement are now counted.

I'm filthy they've "dumbed" down another achievement, now any Joe quest doer can get it. I worked my arse off for 730 and my Loremaster title & tabard and now it's less special. Wish Blizzard would stop dumbing everything down so much.

Cant remember exactly what put me to 723 but i did the dungeon set quests which put me at 728. One of the escort quests in desolace and the final one from the first one of two from http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=8420 so dont miss them. never checked silvermyst isle so be sure to check that out aswell.
not really much else i can help out with as all has been stated in previous posts, just ride through each zone and make sure you cover most if not all.of the zone especially the draenei starting zone-Silvermyst,Azuremyst and Bloodmyst isles and make sure you have done all of the "this iten begins a quest" quests. Be patient, it will come :D and good luck!

The amount required is being changed for 3.0.8.

The patch notes did not say to what number, anyone on PTR able to tell us?

Kommentar von 18785

Ok before TBC was released i did infact try to complete every quest available ingame. Now without doing any extra quests through TBC or WOTLK i have a total of 605 quests complete. They appear to have added 125 new quests in lowbie regions most probably to make the grind faster. So if like me you have complete the majority go back to areas you have covered.

Kommentar von 18004

just did a fishing one in darkshore called The family and the fishing pole. did count towards the achievement, so there are still some proffesion ones that do.

edit: but the other one i did at the same time called Gaffer Jacks, did not count. not the followup electropellers either.

and on a side note, doing low lvl quests makes it easy to skill up unarmed (for the knucklesandwitch achievement), as most mobs die of one hit anyways (warrior)

update: used about 2 weeks of a little more than casual playing to get the last 200 quests done.
deffinetly doable without having to wait for the patch. tonns of quests in the dranei areas, as ppl said, just have one window displaying questgivers, and dig up all the other quests with the quest search "start from...." and then search for both items and object. and i got my knuckle sandwich achievement to go with it.
good luck guys. not as hard as ppl want it to be.

Kommentar von 275533

So I was able to complete this prior to the 3.0.8 patch. yay!
Big quests for me were the:

Gelkis/Maghar (sp?) quests in Desolace
Shimmering Flats - including all the parts that you have to do in BB, and Eastern Kingdoms
Sprite Darter
a tiger escort quest in Teldrasil
some item drop quests on Azuremyst Isle
timbermaw rep to Friendly to do the cloth hand in (and the mooncloth hand in if you are a tailor)

I didn't do any of the AQ Scepter stuff.
Anyway.. booo to Blizz for dropping the number of quests in 3.0.8. At least mine will be dated before that.

3.0.4 patch quest requirement drop from 730 to 700 for Alliance.

Kommentar von Furydeath

I'm at 690/730 with most the AQ line done and I'm just barely finding quests to get.

Kommentar von 275516

everything posted has pieced together to make a pretty helpful guild. i was stuck with 7 quests to go when i decided to try the cloth quartermaster quests. much to my surprise that took me over the top =) i'm horde btw

Kommentar von 294128

So far I'm 241 quests in to a level 26 Warrior Draenei and only 236 of those quests count towards the Loremaster achievement.

Kommentar von 245247

I'm just listing some that I missed, I'll update this post as I find them:

1: Find Azore Aldamort in Desolace 38, 27. He has two quests that count towards this achievement. Getting up to him can be tricky. Use the path going up starting at 41, 29.

2: Find Quintis Jonespyre in Feathermoon Stronghold 32, 43. I confirmed his Morrowgrain quest counts the first time you turn it in.

Kommentar von Liri

Dont forget 2 alli quests in Durotar. Thanks Rezlak!

Kommentar von 297533

Just finished it after 2weeks of questing, thanks for all great tips here.

If you have problem finding last 30quests, do all the things posted above then go zone by zone to all quest givers (wowhead maps show them) and im sure you will find at least 15 quests which you skipped whilst leveling. You dont need any of the AQ tier/scepter quests to do it.The moment I did achievment I had 3814quests done total.

Goodluck everybody

Kommentar von 99580

In patch 3.0.8. (21 Jan 2008) The number gets reduced from 730 to 700 for Alliance and from 700 to 685 for Horde.

Kommentar von andyhre

So I went to bed last night with 689 quests, frustrated as heck but determined to keep plugging away. I ad a list of a lot of the harder to find quests, and I was going to start going to doing them today, only to see there was a patch, and then, miracle of miracles, the total quest required was lowered from 730 to 700. After some further digging, I saw some of the quests I had done that had inexplicably not counted, were going to count after all.

I logged on today and bang -- I had the achievement. So I got credit for at least 11 quests I had already done that had not previously counted. Wish i could tell you which, but I suspect they included stuff in Darnassus and Exodar (I had done all of the cloth turns ins) and also the Caverns of Time baby quests (got talk to so and so, go take a tour from whatshername, etc.).

Kommentar von Heekale

Cripes! The 3.0.8 patch -which nerfed the number to 700- came in too soon ~ I was at 712/730....

Kommentar von Hartge

As much as I wanted to complete this before the patch they definitely made this easier with the patch. I was 614/730 before the patch hit and logged in with 639/700, so I got credited with 25 quests that did not previously count. I am guessing now the quest in Tanaris that requires you to go to EPL and get the last two tablets may now count since the quest ends in Kalimdor.

***Completed this last night after needing only 61 quests after the patch opposed to 116. Even then, when I completed this I dropped about 10 quests in my log, a few of which had a 1-2 chain after them and still had a few other places to check.
Low level quest tracking really made this achievement much easier, but I am going to beat the dead horse when I put my 2 cents in here.

First thing I did was go to objects on Wowhead and put a filter in for "This item starts a quest..." and went through each zone in Kalimdor and wrote down the ones I know I hadn't done and the ones I was not sure of. Be sure to check the comments of each item(there really aren't that many) to check the drop rate, though most of them are 100% if you have not done it yet.

After you have that list(which isn't big), bring up a map of each zone on wowhead and show Alliance Questgivers and be sure to check each and every one of them. If that giver does not have a quest for you, click their dot on the map and see if there are any pre-reqs for the quests they start, because they usually will. Ironforge and Stormwind yield a decent amount of quests that count towards Kalimdor, the best to way to tell is to check the zone the quest is under in your log. Retrieval for Mauren that starts AND ends in Stormwind will be under Stonetalon Mountains in your quest log meaning it gives credit toward Kalimdor.

At 614 quests before the patch I thought I was in for a lot of running around(which you are anyways), but the biggest hubs I missed containing numerous quests were: Feathermoon Stronghold and Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles, I really could not believe just how many quests I had missed in those areas.

Another big hub was Desolace, however, the quests I was missing at Nijel's Point did not open up until I turned in Reclaimer's Business in Desolace which is picked up from Roetten Stonehammer in Hall of Explorers in Ironforge. While you are doing those quests you'll probably see Azore Aldamort pop up with 2 quests near the coastline, along with a few goblin questgivers around the area.

Honestly I feel all Blizzard had to do was implement the quests that didn't count before and this would still be very easy, with the patch I gained an extra 25 quests that hadn't counted before, and completing the other 30 quests(if they kept it at 730) would really have been quite simple and reasonable.

I am not as burnt out as I thought I would be and I did my last 61 quests in about 4-5 hours time. I was really hoping for more of a challenge than what I got, but I am sure I would have gotten one if I had tried harder to finish it before the patch.

Happy questing.

Kommentar von Loafer

As of this patch handing in cloth DOES count towards the loremaster achivement for Kalimdor. Of course, only for the first hand-in of 60, not the repeatable.

Did all the cloth hand-ins today in Darnassus and Exxodar and they all count towards the loremaster achivement.

GL to those that have just a few left and ignored these.

Kommentar von PoisonSystemX

If I could slip this one in here, found it in Desolace whilst completing quests for the clans.

Kommentar von 181649

If you need a few quests, try running Uldaman and starting a quest line from the Discs of Norgannon at the end of the instance. (Horde, Alliance)

Kommentar von 254037

There are quests in Stormwind and other Eastern Kingdoms places that count for Kalimdor aswell. For example Devils in Westfall ( Bring Dust Devil Debris to Collin Mauren in Stormwind )

If you're unsure if a quest in Eastern Kingdoms gives you a quest-point for Kalimdor, check online what I did and see if it's for Kalimdor. If not, then don't bother doing it UNLESS it gives a quest AFTER it that does give you.

I'm 56 away from this achievement ( and title ) so I'll be spending some time here looking :)

Kommentar von Gwalchgwyn

Is this possible to do without doing the quests in Everlook?

Kommentar von 254037

Dear fellow Loremasters

I'm having a difficult job finding quests for my achievement. This morning I began with 45 quests to go and slowly I could reach the amount of quest I needed now, which is 20. I handed in ( Exodar and Darnassaus ) the Donation <Wool etc> for each cloth, and now i'm stuck on 680 / 700. I been to Exodar where I discovered 10-12 quests and since then I've been checking wowhead for escots ( like Mist in Teldrassil ) and " this item begins a quest " It's been 3,5 years ago I dinged 60, so I can't really remember that sharp what I have done and what not. I have some Silithius quests open which requires me to get mats from AQ40 and AQ20 but that's all I can think of.

I done the 3 "chickens" from beacons you get in Hinterlands, Tanaris and Ferelas and I got a pet out of that so i'm pretty sure I done those. I am really confused what I have done, where I should go and what to do. I even done Dire Maul quests to get up the number of quests done ( I hate Dire Maul ) I'm pretty sure every instance on Kalimdor-side I have completed all quests from, with exception of quests I got from EK. I'm 20 off and I'm so desperate to get this achievement I would like some help or tips how to get the last ones :(

Kommentar von 254037

It's been like 3,5 hours later and i'm on 11 quests now. I found some at the beach of the coast of Darkshore ( to the North ) I finished 2 quests in Dire Maul and I can't even remember where I did the others. 11 to go, sigh

Kommentar von nirces

In desolace, its possible after completing the quest chain for either gelkis or magram to switch reputation and do the quests for the other.

to attack friendly targets, you need to click the "at war" box on there reputation info

Kommentar von 288337

I'd like to give some tipps:
- A Supernatural Device quest chain starts from IF and counts for Kalimdor (5 quest)(I'm not sure weather the first quest counts toward Kalimdor, but the following ones do)
- To Winterspring!. Most of the quest chain count for Kalimdor
- Diabolical Plans. Starts from an item which is dropped by demons in Ashenvale
- Pristine Yeti Hide. It also started by a quest item.
I think this achievement has become really easy since it was nerfed. It would be more exciting if the quest ammount was still 730. Anyway, this achievement is a great adventure, you can learn the true story of the Old-world and it also very useful for those who started to play WoW after the realising of BC. So thanks Blizz. :)

Kommentar von 331212

For anyone starting out, my tupence worth for speeding this grind up after it took me 3 weeks to get the complete title in all lands (Inc grinding exalted with a few factions along the way)

1. Free up as much bag space as possible. Don't avoid looting as you may miss on drops that begin quests. If you have something like a herb bag replace it with a std 18/20 slot as you won't be gathering anyway. The more time you can save emptying bag space at a vendor the better.

2. Use up the low lvl health/mana pots as you get them to save stopping for food as you clear entire areas out.

3. Start on the lowest level areas as some of the final quests will often send you onto the next lvl areas.

4. Avoid going into the dungeons until you have at least 2-4 quests in one.. it'll save you running in and out of them.

5. BUY A KIRIN TOR RING that you can hs back to dal with and use your hs for whatever land you are in.. I promise this saves a LOT of time.

6. Quest chains that you dumped half way through that required an item can amount to a good few quests.. so when you arrive in each hub, quickly see which npc's you can speak to then see if they offer you a replacement item. (eg.. anyone remember that annoying gas mask quest in blade's edge that everyone dumps?) .... If you find this frustrating, just look for cooking recipe vendors at the same time to go for the 100/160 recipe achievement.

7. 5 mins with pen and paper going through the quest lists on here and writing down the coords of any starting npc's outside of the hubs is WELL WELL worth it BEFORE you leave the area.

8. Do Kalimdor and EK at the same time as much as is possible. Many of the quests in EK lead onto Kalimdor and EK is a hell of a lot easier to find the 700.

9. It is possible to complete Kalimdor WITHOUT raid quests or grinding out Silithus for those quests that give you sets of gear as rewards.

10. Have an alt at the AH ready to check if any items you need for quests can be bought.

Much of this is stating the obvious but hope it's of use to someone sometime.

Oh yeah final tip.. when you're in the very low level areas.. don't be tempted to aoe everything down as you can almost guarantee you will be sent straight back to the area to kill even more and you'll just be standing around waiting for a respawn of some head murloc called Timmy that you didn't even notice 3 mins earlier when you snuffed out his existence.

PS..Don't forget to /love all the critters on the way :D

Kommentar von 144725

Remember to check the quests given by the gnome in the Stonetalon Mountains, I just did this achi, and I lacked about 200 quests. Stonetalon, Dustwallow, Ratchet, Silithus and Desolace gave me a lot of quests. Once I hit 700, there was still plenty of quests left (whole centaur line in Desolace for example), few in Silithus, Some random ones here and there. Don't forget the Winterspring quests too, there's about 10-15 of easy ones there. This is doable, and quite easy in the end. Silithus quests are the only real pain in the butt.

I also didn't complete nor start the AQ questline. Never did any of those dungeon set thingies. Also, above post is very good and points out good things. Good luck to all the aspiring Loremasters!

Kommentar von 336709

BOOYA FINALLY GOT IT.

someone already posted it above, but it helped SOOO MUCH that i felt i should post it again for those that might have missed it.

at the wowhead home page,
database--->zone------>kalimdor------>(specific zone)

right above the map of the zone you chose,there is a small box that says "show on map" and is empty. click on it and make sure "show alliance quest givers" is highlighted.

this will show you every alliance questgiver in that zone. its easy to see which questgivers you probably missed, because they are usually in the middle of nowhere. i was at 687 and strugglin, read that and gave it a shot, was done with loremaster of kalimdor in like 1 hour. was A LIFESAVER! THANKS ARLETE!

Kommentar von 118126

Is it possible to complete this achievement with if you're hated with Booty Bay, Ratchet, Everlook and Gadgetzan?

I only ask this because like an idiot, I went after my Bloodsail Admiral title before I could complete the loremaster achievment. I understand I'm missing out on quite a bit of quests but can I find a way to still complete this achievment and be hated with Steamwheedle Cartel or am I going to have to grind my rep back up to neutral with Steamwheedle?
If anyone who's encountered this situation before can give me some advice or pointers, I'd really appreciate it.

Kommentar von 344834

As for the holiday quests not counting... they do.

At least, the ones during the Lunar Festival (getting those Coins of Ancestry) do.

A++++ on that Blizz!

Kommentar von scottishhaig

Just finished this achievement for Kalimdor - definitely NOT easy. My tip is for an Orc Ghost that sits on the left side of the path from Swamp of Sorrows to Blasted Lands - 17 quest chain which starts in Blasted Lands, but has at least 6-7 quests that count in Azshara. Remember to look for 'This item begins a quest...' pieces. I picked up a few with that. I DID have to reverse the Centaur factions in Desolace, however, I did NOT do any of the AQ attunement quests or any Dire Maul quests. Good luck to everyone! And major kudos to those that had to get 730 before the patch - think I would have killed myself if I had to get that many. :)

Kommentar von Ayria

A great add-on for this achievement is Carbonite. Basically what it does is gives you a checklist of every quest you can start in a zone. When you do a quest it marks it off the list. It lists all hard to find escorts, rare drops, and out of place quest givers. The only downside is after you download it, you have to mark off the quests your have already completed because it can't track quests before it is installed. Still a great way to go through a zone and see if you missed any quests.

Kommentar von calmlunatic

For me, the last quests that I had to do were the Linken quest chain, the chain where you have to get the crystals and investigate the towers, and some quest chain in Winterspring. While getting LM:K and EK were notably harder than their NR and OL counterparts, the integration was kind of neat.

Kommentar von gamerunknown

Kommentar von 454558

can you get this done without doing any dungeon quests?

Kommentar von Sithspit

You said: "As a side-note... the quest "The Lost Tablets of Mosh'aru" from Tenaris does *not* count. Have not tried it's follow up yet."

This is correct, and I opened a ticket, as the following two quests also didn't count; here's the thing to look for: Even though a quest starts and ends in Tanaris, if you look in the quest log, it shows under the Swamp of Sorrows or Hinterlands (Ancient Egg, the follow up to "Lost Tablets"). As such, since they list under an EK zone, they do not count. Using this logic for the rest of my Kalimdor quests, quests that I discounted because of their starting point suddenly became useful, because their category placed them in a Kalimdor zone.

Kommentar von 230812

Found a nice little quest line in Darnasus. The Barrens Port. This will send you to Ratchet -> Boot Bay -> Darkshire -> etc... Nice thing is while you're doing the quests in Eastern Kingdoms, the turn ins will count towards Kalimdor. Hopes this helps those who are a bit stumped with a few to go.

Kommentar von azzeria

It would be a wonderful idea if we were led to the quests THAT DID count for the acheivemnt. I have been stuck at 689/700 for over 3 days, and every single quest that I have been doing does not count towards that Achievment. I already have "the seeker" title, so when soemone tells you are close to getting the pre-bc ach...don't beleive them...it's a grind that has given me pre-mature gray hair!

Add-ons currently being used are:
EveryQuest
TomTom
Inquest

Kommentar von 254117

March 20, 2010 Complete for my level 80

Kommentar von Darkmanian

So you've decided to try and get Loremaster?

Addons you'll want to help you along the way:
1st is EveryQuest. A helpful tool that utilizes the recent quest database functionality introduced to the game, allowing you to see which quests you have not completed, in every zone/ dungeon / raid. It can also filter out various quests you might not want to start ie; raid specific quests / cooking / class etc.

The 2nd is Lightheaded which has the ability to show you valuable WoWhead comments and info when you access your quest log. It can also show you where quest givers are in the form of coordinates. Very very helpful. Also displays quest chains (very helpful) and helps you find where you are up to in that chain.

The 3rd is TomTom waypoint arrow. This will integrate with your EveryQuest & Lightheaded and allow you to see where you need to be on the map, mini map and on screen HUD. Its a small movable arrow that points the way to objectives and/or quest givers and any other location you wish to ask it to point to.
For instance, if you're currently looking for a druid in Moonglade named Rukthaan (fictional as I can't think of any of their names right now) you would only need to type the NPCs name into Lighthead's search engine. Find the right NPC and then click on the provided coords inside Lighthead interface, that will automatically engage TomTom's way point arrow to help you locate the NPC.

But that was a hypothetical and EveryQuest should tell you exactly what quests you need to complete in order to finish each zone as you go on. It will also have the functionality to help you see which quest givers have what, and allow TomTom to tell you where to go to find them. But.. incase you want to trek to a specific NPC and want info on the (what could be) thousands of quests you have remaining you'll want Lightheaded as well.

Kommentar von 554189

I just got this on 4/10/10 at 11:58 PM CST. It got pretty hard by the last 50 quests or so but I just stuck with it and did every quest I saw and got it from a quest in Mara. Anyways I still have to do the EK and Outlands but good luck every!

Kommentar von 589687

Is there anyone who knows what quest in EK leads to Kal? I am 20 quest short and I have no idea what I missed. I have gone through every zone in Kali. I haven't done the tier quest because I can't seem to get the bindings. So any ideas? I'm going nuts with this! ~Thanks~

Kommentar von mightydragon

Finished this achievement some days ago! :D Ty a lot for all those guides and tips about those quests that can be easily missed since some are really tricky to find them.
Btw if you're trying to do this too make sure to do the quests that can be picked inside the dungeons aswell, it will make it a little easier too. ^^

Kommentar von 462823

This realisation made this achievement so much easier: Whilst levelling my Main character I skipped loads of quests in order to get to the next areas ASAP. I made the mistake of thinking I had completed most of the quests mentioned in various posts but in fact I had completed them on various ALTS! Maybe sounds stupid but true none-the-less. On re-visiting areas and toggling "Low level quests" on my mini map I found I had missed practically the whole of the Wetlands quests, none of Azuremyst and Bloodmyst isle and heaps of others. I didnt need to do a single quest in AQ or ZG, nor did I need to group once to complete a quest (gear not particularly good) and still I had plenty more quests still to do once I reached Loremaster. Toggle "Low level quests" and go have a look.

Kommentar von darkelfpoet

For the Bloodsail Admirals out there, this is still doable, but extremely difficult since you do not have access to most of the quests in Everlook, Ratchet and Gadgetzan (compare to EK where you are only missing Booty Bay as a quest hub). Beyond that, there are a lot of NPCs aligned with one of those three cities that you cannot talk to. Some interesting notes though...

1) The goblins in Stonetalon Mountains still love you*
2) There is a tauren and two Argent Crusade people who still give you quests inside Everlook
3) The goblin outside of Timbermaw Hold in Winterspring still gives you her quest chains*
4) Most of the quest givers in Un'goro Crater are still available to you
5) Tanaris still has a quest giver or two that is available to you
6) Can still Free Knot! and make Gordok Ogre Suits in Dire Maul

If you are looking for a specific quest, check the quest giver/turn-in and any NPCs you need to interact with - if any are listed here as a member of one of those four goblin factions, you can't do that quest or any of the follow-ups! For example...

1) You can't do the blue shard arm of the SotSS quest line (the green one gives you some completion points though)
2) You can't do your tier 0.5 upgrade quest line
3) Can't do the goblins in Durotar

* - These quests also give you goblin rep without lowering your Bloodsail rep!

Confirmed that Loremaster will not be removed with Cataclysm, but will be changed to accomodate the changes to Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.

Official post:

"Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and Loremaster of Kalimdor no longer requires you to complete a given amount of quests anymore. You now have to complete the achievements for each zone to get the Loremaster title."

Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor zones will get their own quest achievement per zone, similar to how it works for Outland and Northrend.

Official post:

"All the WoW classic zones now have their own quests achievement: Arathi Highlands Quests, Badlands Quests, Blasted Lands Quests, Burning Steppes Quests, etc..."

Just ran across a quest in Azshara I don't see on the tips above. Called Crew Under Fire, totally out of the way on the Reckless Reaches beach southernmost tip that you swim around to get to- Continue on past the Sanctum there, you will find a lone hut with a survivor from a shipwreck and beyond that, a narrow valley inland. Long trip but if you desperate for that one more....

As patch 4.0.3a (The shattering) came live you need to do a certain amount of quest for these area's.

- Ashenvale
- Darkshore
- Felwood
- Silithus
- Southern Barrens
- Thousand Needles
- Winterspring
- Bloodmyst Isle
- Dustwallow Marsh
- Feralas
- Stonetalon Mountains
- Tanaris
- Un'Goro Crater

Now the quest achievement system Northrend and Outland is also used for Kalimidor, Eastern Kingdoms and the cata area's

Kommentar von 695235

As a Bloodsail Admiral, I have no chance of completing Loremaster of Kalimdor as I won't be able to quest in Tanaris!
With 4.0.3 out, a number of (Steamwheedle Cartel) goblins are already level 85 and they hit pretty hard and once spotted by one of them, chances of escaping are very low.

For those of you who didn't complete Loremaster before Cataclysm came out (like me), all the quests have been reset. So, yes, you DO have to do all the quests over, which is kind of a bummer. But there are some new quests and new areas, and they go quickly. AND you get to fly. Happy questing!

The best addon for this process is Everyquest from Curse.com. There was also one that went hand-in-hand called Loremaster, but as of right now it has not been updated. However, Everyquest will let you know which ones you are missing (some, such as dailies, may not count towards the Loremaster achievement, which is what Loremaster the addon used to tell you) so then you can look them up here on Thottbot.

As you can see, by completing the loremaster achievements, you will also get over 3000 quests. I suggest picking up Quest Completist (similar to Everyquest, but updated for Cataclysm and still being updated. Everyquest seems to have been abandoned) to help you find lost quests if you get confused or stuck. Good luck, and happy questing!

This, along with the other Loremaster meta achievements, will soon receive account wide progress. In other words, completing Quests im Eschental on one character and Quests in den Düstermarschen on another will count.

This is good news for those of us that got into fights regularly with the Booty Bay bruisers!

Kommentar von Jenneskimo

I wanted to add that while the individual achievements are account-wide (and can thus be used on multiple toons to collectively get this larger achievement), some do not share. I just completed Quests in den Düstermarschen on my Undead hunter. When I logged in as my Night Elf Druid, I did NOT have credit for Dustwallow Marsh. I'm guessing this is because they have different criteria (alliance need 60 quests and horde need 48).

I say that is is because of different achievement criteria and not the horde/alliance thing because immediately after, I took my undead hunter to Felwood and quested there (both alliance and horde need 55 quests for Quests im Teufelswald. After earning the achievement and logging in as my alliance toon, I did have credit for Felwood.

That being said, if you are trying to get the quest achievements for Loremaster on different toons from different factions, pay attention to where you are questing and if it will count for your overall achievement progress.

compared to Azeroth loremaster, this can either be very quick and easy..or very laborious depending on how you go about tackling each zone, and of course whether you have a few low level alts (mid 30's) for southern barrens where you will get the odd beat them up and arrest them quest..needless to say it will go extremely badly if the only thing you have is a high level toon.

also, another thing. Please do use your high level toon, and make sure you have 310% flying. Why? it might not seem it at the time, but your quests will quite literally be a blur as you do them, but you also want to get to the next zone without wasting time. One needs to remember that because realms are now connected to other realms..its literally first one there, first one served so to speak, and there is nothing worse then having to wait for slow quest mob respawns.

Traveling mammoth comes in a great treat doing loremaster for obvious reasons. it does not matter if you loot everything, its sold straight to your vendor / repair npc.

how to tackle kalimdor most efficiently / quickly? It's simple start in the north, and literally zig zag your way down, you won't want to go down one side then all the way back up the other again.

also, if you haven't completed mount hyal, you could also split it up, save time and complete that zone while your on kalimdor.

At level 100 and with max level flying at 310% and presuming your doing it at night / late with least people on, you should be able to complete the entirety (not hyal) within 5 or 6 hours, as long as you move / kill / collect what you need.

Finally and most importantly. You do not need all the quests in the zone, only the amount that your zone quest tracker says you need. Often people get bogged down doing every quest, even beyond the tracker then start complaining. Stick to the minimum needed, then move on, unless you really want to complete every single quest.

The only things your going to find tricky, is if you need to beat some mobs up and arrest them, and of course because of your high level you 1 shot them..oops...so either get an appropriate level friend and have him/her do the beating, while you do the arresting when needed.

do not make your life harder in this continent then it needs to me.

Hey all. One question I have not see clearly answered anywhere is - toward what achievement do the Teldrassil+Darnassus quests count? I want to know that they count toward Loremaster .. Spent last 3 hours farming Teldrassil starter quests

Kommentar von Entelligente

For quest tracking, I can highly reccomend the add-on Wholly and the required library Grail. It shows quests on the minimap, displays statistics that contain the total amount of quests for every zone and the amount of completed quests for every zone and has a quest book showing all quests filtered by continent and zone for a quick lookup.

Kommentar von Lanelmorark

With the recent changes to questing (as of 7.3.5), I think that this achievement, along with the other old world quests, is just a tad bit harder.

Kommentar von Bunnyhugs

Anyone else have the issue where they can find the individual achievements completed, but when looking at the criteria for the meta achievement, some of the ones you've completed on other characters are greyed out? I thought it was a horde/alliance thing but after logging into a few different toons that doesn't seem to be the case (though sometimes it is).

Kommentar von TarrynItUp

I am so confused. I have completed every single quest line for the HORDE side and got all the achievement's required ... but there are ALLIANCE quest achievements left which I obviously can not do on my horde toon .......and I have not gotten the loremaster of Kalimdor achievement? Do we have to roll Alliance to finish this? What am I missing here?

Edit: Tanaris Quests achievement was not showing up at all in the achievement page so once I figured that out I was able to finish off Tanaris quests and got my achievement done as Horde.
