Alas, it&#8217;s the nature of the career I&#8217;m in, so occasional weekend shifts are just something to expect and then deal with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topic 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I never have enough Azeroot, but that&#8217;s largely because I don&#8217;t farm anywhere near as much as I used to. So last night, I thought hey, let&#8217;s do a quick lap or two around Harandar on the druid. Maybe level him up to 88 since he&#8217;s so close, and get some more herbs.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I ended up getting mostly Tranquility Bloom and Sanguithorn, but the fun thing I did was kill Annulus the Worldshaker. He had like 3.5 million health. But I saw him and I thought&#8230; well, I&#8217;m a tank, aren&#8217;t I? Let&#8217;s see how OP druids really are. (I mean, I&#8217;m sure I could have survived on a paladin, but probably not a warrior, so let&#8217;s see how the druid does.) So here&#8217;s a screenshot of my stats about halfway through the fight, which definitely took more than ten minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3263\" src=\"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WoWScrnShot_070526_005357-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So yeah, level 87, 143 ilvl, lots of cooldowns, and maybe halfway through the fight.

I had been fighting him the whole time! \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p>Also, fun fact, he casts some sort of &#8220;sludge&#8221;, I think it is, at you, but it&#8217;s a movement speed debuff. It shouldn&#8217;t bother you too much if you don&#8217;t interrupt it. He does cast a couple of earthquake things, but you have plenty of time to get out of them if you are, you know, paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>So that was fun. I like doing stupid things on my various toons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topic 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Still farming instances for transmog, still selling a few items every week. Certainly enough to make it worthwhile, even though I&#8217;m disenchanting so much. Actually, since Greater Eternal Essences are hovering anywhere between 18-24g each, it&#8217;s actually more worthwhile these days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topic 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The goal for this week is to use the WoW API to download my achievements and review them. The UI is crap for that, even the armory site is pretty gross in terms of the interface. So I&#8217;m gonna download them and present them in a way that doesn&#8217;t suck (locally on my own computer) and then see what I can do with them. What achievements are worthy of a Storytime with Kurn video? What achievements am I missing? What achievements do I want to &#8230; achieve?<\/p>\n<p>What about you, folks? What are you up to in WoW this week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am, unfortunately, working this weekend, so this may be shortish.
