Aloha! After 6 years of hard work and posed as a personal challenge, a player from the Vashj kingdom, the wizard Xirev, manages to complete a whopping 3314 achievements.
Xirev manages to complete all the achievements of the game
The magician of the kingdom Vashj, Xirev, he manages to complete a whopping 3314 achievements after 6 years since he began his personal challenge of completing all the achievements between TBC and WotLK, getting the (non-existent) "title" of First in the World to achieve all the achievements in the expansion of Legion. It is quite an amazing and hard amount of work invested, throughout all the activities that the game presents us.
There was also another contender, metatroph, I was only 1 achievement when Xirev finished, and had the same number of points at the time, as the Alliance has an extra 10 points. It was a pretty tight competition.
Congratulations on completing your Xirev challenge!
Note: The Demonic Combatant achievement has been converted to a Strength achievement and does not award points, but has not yet been moved to the Strength Achievements tab. It will likely be kept on the Achievements tab as a way for players to track their progress.
People are dying to know: How much does your / played score?
I don't know for sure as I have 2 accounts but I don't necessarily play them at the same time constantly. In my main account I have 800 days and in my second account I have 250 days (which I have only had since the beginning of Legion), so I would say that in total I probably have around 850-900 days played. My wizard only has 434 days played, not so much compared to others. I'm hardly ever afk in the game and most of my playing time is collecting achievements. The rest of the game time is divided between my alters: I have 30 characters at 110, 2 of each class and 8 wizards. And yes, I play a lot with my alters.
In your Reddit post, you mentioned that you started your achievement challenge 6 years ago. What got you started on this crazy challenge?
I started playing WoW very casually at the end of Vanilla and TBC beginnings on my stepfather's account at my mother's house, I only played during the holidays for 1-2 weeks 2-3 times a year while visiting them because the computer that had in my father's house could not stand the game. I only made it to level 35 as my highest level character and I remember my only goal at the time, to get to level 40 to get my first mount, I never read the patch notes and actually thought there was a new patch every Wednesday. One day, while I was leveling in the Deadmines, we went out and there was a gnome on a mount at level 35, I told him that I was using cheats because the requirement to buy a mount was level 40, and he informed me that it had been reduced to 35. I immediately went to learn the riding skill and I remember running around Hillsbrad Foothills with my new Saber mount, the character is still there at level 35 in Hillsbrad Foothills to this day.
At WotLK I bought a computer that could run the game at 10fps with all the lowest settings and only played on test accounts, then one day I open the launcher and see that the X-53 Touring Rocket has just been launched. I went to school, I told my friend about it and he offered to give me the expansion and 2 months of play so that he could get it, a generous guy. I was lifting the characters but I was always burdened with gold and couldn't afford an epic mount, but then I heard that if you got It's been a long and weird journey you'd get a free flying mount, I started doing all the event events and that was on the extent to which I made achievements back then.
Cataclysm came along and I continued to level characters to the max but didn't play with them much, as the Firelands patch was coming to an end I got a better computer and finally get into bands without having 2 fps. Dragon Soul was released and I started doing it in LFR and was very lucky with the loot (when LFR had Need before Greed). One day a guild was looking for a wizard for their core roster in the general chat and I had what they were looking for. I joined them and started making Heroic Dragon Soul, I was the only player in the brotherhood who didn't have an epic mount yet, I always flew with my Tawny Wind Rider on the sidelines and this was often pointed out, but I didn't even have the 280% skill to ride. After a while I decided to make Obsidian Sanctum to get the Reins of the Black Drake and buy the skill 280%, since I was not even close to getting the Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake, now I felt the need to obtain as many epic mounts as possible and started to make the Sha'tari reputations of Netherwing and Skyguard. Finally the guild I was in fell apart after passing Ultraxion and now I had 8 months left waiting for Mists of Pandaria, with a lot of time in my hands and love for this game, I had finally started to be able to play the time I started to turn my time into the only thing there was for me: achievements.
As time went on my dedication grew, the biggest turning point for me was around 16k achievement points in the middle of MoP when I started to get very serious about getting everything done. WoD was a huge expansion for me as there wasn't much going on in the current content so I had plenty of time to catch up on all the previous achievements, I think I made it to rank 400 by the end of WoD. Then when Legion came out I jumped right into the top 10 and now I've been there for the entire expansion.
