Loremaster of Kalimdor Achievement - Horde

Has anyone completed this on horde? If so, would you kindly share your strategy? I have searched the entire continent (using low quest tracking), and I can't seem to locate the last few needed for this achievement to complete.

I believe I am currently 677/700. I have done all the quests started from item drops. I have done everything I can think of and still can't find another 20 or so quests to complete this Kalimdor Loremaster achievment.

Remember - this is HORDE side that I'm needing assistance with. I know it's possible. I saw a tauren in Dalaran the other day with the Loremaster title just as I was diving into a portal and during zoning, he logged out and I can't remember his name otherwise I would have asked him for some assistance/advice.

Any information helps. Thanks!

Have you done all realistic instances? If not, there's probably your answer.

Have you done cloth hand-ins ?

Each first cloth handin yields one quest - so that's 3x(Tauren, Orc, ??) x4 (Wool, Silk, Mageweave, Runecloth)

I had a lot of trouble finishing Kalimdor. My last was the turtle escort quest in Tanaris - first time the bloody turtle decided half-way to run back and the quest failed...

Also i found that some quests, i had started in Kalimdor and completed in Kalimdor did not count towards the Kalimdor total and were not repeatable. I think that some quest(lines) are counted towards the other continent (by the quest starter) so some part of them is completed in the other (an example might be the necklace quest for Uldaman - though i cannot verify that any more). If this holds true, you might want to look in eastern Kingdoms for left-over quest chains from Kalimdor - which will be hard. There are 2x bread and butter quests in Thunderbluff that lead to the UC 2nd zone (... Forrest).

In total i wish you good luck. Finishing these 2x old-world achievements was tough as you only have the quest total indicator and no hint which areas are done and where you might have missed doing a quest.

Yes, I've done the cloth quests as well.

Did you do all of the starting quests in all of the starting areas? Searched every nook/cranny for quest givers tucked away?

Yes. I have done every instance quest available for Kalimdor. Well, with the exception being AQ stuff. However, I'm not sure that I can get 20+ quests from AQ. I still think I'd need to pick some up somewhere else? Thanks.

As a follow up to my previous post - the 29 Sholazar Basin quests I had done showed up again in my achievement log today. I have no idea why or how, or even what made them disappear. In any event, they are back.

Things that make you go hmmm...
