Mania – seriously, your banking alts are level 43? That sounds a bit like having muscles on your muscles.

I was quite pleased when Naughtygirl (I couldn’t believe that name was free), my alliance banking alt, dinged 5 during Brewfest – without, I’ll add, ever killing a mob (unless you count the ones Zsuzsa killed for her so she could complete the quest for her imp). But I can see that she’s got quite a bit of catching-up to do, particularly if she persists in her pacifist stance.

Thankfully my extremely limited WoW time means that I have only 1 main (Horde hunter)to worry about, and when it comes to achievements I collect them like Pokemon. My oft-abused alts (2 alli hunters, 1 alli druid, 1 horde pally) get nothing unless its completely incidental to whatever else I happen to be doing.
My big problem is going to be my death knight, because I’ve already invested a lot into the character (very sad considering the expansion isn’t out yet) and will want to go all out with them as well. Winterveil will be…hectic.

I have two main toons, one alliance, one horde, but I only really have one main toon that I play, and that’s my troll hunter. I’m just going to gather up as many acheivements as I can on my troll and just get whatever I can for my alts when I play them, including my night elf hunter.

I had to give up on the seasonal achievements except on one character. I don’t really have Mains or Alts per se. I have a level 70 of each class Alliance side. And I have a character of each class on Horde side as well on a different server. It would drive me insane to try to complete all the achievements on everyone. One time I decided to do the trick or treating on all my characters on both servers. By the time I got done with the last one, the first ones were ready to do it again.

I’m being real casual with all my toons, mains & alts alike. My troll rogue is my current pet-collector, the rest I’m just getting when opportunity presents itself.

I’m a total alt-o-holic, to the point where I refuse to name any of my characters as being my ‘main’. But with 11 level 70s, some tough choices have to be made of course.

Securing a decent flow of raw materials to feed leveling all the professions on those characters is of primary importance of course. So the first to go leveling will be a dual gatherer. From previous experiences I know that frost mages are excelent levelers, and my frost mage happens to be herbalist+skinner. Add to that the fact that mages can get to Dalaran earlier than other classes (if I understood correctly), and the choice becomes easy. With three of my characters depending on ores and bars, a miner will be second in line to level up soon after. Most likely that will be my mining & jewelcrafting hunter, though if leather is tough to come by, my mining/skinning feral druid may need to go first.

As far as achievements go, the aforementioned frost mage is already on her way toward the explorer, salty and chef titles, and she’ll certainly continue trying to get those titles. Apart from those, I don’t intend to focus too much on achievement, just let them come as they come…

I just don’t even bother on any character but my hunter main.

If I get achievements on an alt, neat! If I don’t, ah well.

I try to split my time between the 3 characters I have in my current server. I usually spend my time finishing quests so time and priority is not a problem. However, if I’m in a party at the time, I concentrate on that character until the party’s goal is completed. Whatever time is left for my evening, I spend doing housekeeping chores on my remaining characters, like crafting and checking the Auction House or moving the character to another town.

The only exception to this was Brewfest 2008, where I spent all my time trying to get tokens for all 3 characters. That left little time or energy for questing or grouping afterwards. Ram Racing is very exhausting despite it being virtual.

Although the shaman serves as a healing/enchanting/jewelcrafting alt rather than the tanking/leatherworking options provided by the druid :)

Nim is going to be the only toon where I make a significant effort at getting all the achievements. My druid is my only other 70, and she’s just going to continue as a handy tanking + leather working alt rather than worrying about maxing out her achievements. Ditto for my shaman if I ever get around to levelling her past 40.
