So on my druid Edaia (the achievement hunter), I finally got the year-long meta for the Purple Proto-Drake! The PvP part wasn't nearly as painful as I expected, getting SotA three times in a row helped out a LOT (especially starting out on the defending team 2/3 times in a turret, racked up HKs), then AV. I had a little bit of a difficult time getting the right race/class combos to chuck snowflakes at. But by far, the worst part was leveling my cooking from 0 to 325 for the cider. The hefty dwarf doesn't want regular vendor cider, oh no, he wants SPICED cider. I had power-leveled my druid back in the day because I wanted to raid with her, so I didn't bother with professions that much, meaning I had no cooking skill. It took a few nights (since I was camping Madexx on my hunter, too), but I finally did it! So one red hat and a minced fruit cake later, and I got my pretty drake!
And THEN, because that was my 50th mount, I also got the Albino Drake! I'm not too fond of its colors, but maybe I'll get used to them. Still, it was cool nonetheless.
Whew, a years' worth of work finally comes to fruition. Feels good.
