		<description><![CDATA[I suppose my pre-expansion rituals maybe count, but I do always have a bucket list before moving on from one expansion and getting into the next; it’s usually completing viable raid/dungeon achievements and getting things set up for the levelling burst.

At the moment I only have to complete the last Kalimdor quest achievements (which I’m struggling to get going for), and that’s everything crossed off my list.  I managed to hammer my nerd point target into the ground, got far more gold than I set a target for and my bank/VS/bags are empty and set.

Just waiting on Tuesday, now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw that but would have liked a writeup of the actual story. Maybe some more details on each of the people involved. I know some people will prefer this setup where you put the hints together yourself but ... I like more background is all. If these people were famous enough to have antiques, I just would like to know why.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes. Yes, they do. The first item in the achievement is a gift from Pyramond. The second is from Theleste. Then glass animals. Then a letter from Pyramonds parents saying they can&#039;t be together because she is a poor. Then a bottle of poison and a suggestion that they both drink it. 

As for the names http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramus_and_Thisbe. Though on others where the names aren&#039;t a pop culture reference, like who killed the war chief, you get a bit more of a description.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a bit of information about each found item, but some of the achievements lead you to hope for a bit more. For example, one of the night elf archaeology achievements is about discovering artifacts that tell the story of two ancient lovers. But you never do get the actual story (unless I missed it somewhere), just a few artifacts with initials on them.

I&#039;d like more context about who some of the named characters were, is the sort of thing I mean.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember you saying you enjoyed the Jedi Sage playstyle in ToR too, which has some similarity to Shadow/Disc priest specs.  I agree that new Shadow is excellent and it&#039;s also a good example of how the new talent system can allow you to (somewhat) tailor the rotation/playstyle to your own preference.

Speaking of Balance druids, there&#039;s my bucket list. :)

I&#039;m planning to main swap to Balance/Guardian (from my Ret/Prot paladin) come MoP, so I&#039;ve been spending the final weeks prepping my druid for maining.  I&#039;ve been leveling my secondaries (which allowed me to clean up some archaeology achievements now that they&#039;re account-wide), making sure professions are up to scratch, and stressing over the lack of full, green exalted bars in my reputation window.  (They&#039;ll likely stay that way.)

I finally got that stupid fish from Ironforge too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes. It has this exact thing. 

In your archeology professions tab there is a little paragraph for each item you&#039;ve already found, telling you about it&#039;s role in history or that culture. 

Some of them even tell a little story of sorts when taken together.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;. There are hints of lore behind the found items but really this thing needs a full codex style interpretation with extensive entries for each item, which WoW conspicuously does not provide.&quot;

It&#039;s been a while since I dabbled in Archaeology, but I thought WoW already had this in the archaeology screen, where they describe each artifact you&#039;ve recovered.]]></description>
