Yet another World of Warcraft player unlocks all achievements for the first time

Russian World of Warcraft player Хируко has become the first in the world to unlock all 2,057 of the decade-old MMORPG’s achievements. While it’s not the first time this has happened in WoW, it is the first since the addition of new endgame content and increased level cap introduced in Mists of Pandaria

The player even managed to snatch up a lot of Realm First achievements in the process, such as being the first to level every character class to the new cap of 90 for his server.  While that’s certainly impressive, it takes on sinister undertones with his explanation of how he pulled it off, posted on MMO-Champion. Namely, Хируко moved to a small server with a gang of friends that went around murdering anyone else trying to hit 90, while others gathered crafting materials for him–not the most sporting behavior.

Blizzard will be removing Realm First achievements from the upcoming expansion, Warlords of Draenor, in order to disincentivize this sort of abuse.

Here are all the tips and tricks you need to level a brand-new character from 1 to 50 and, further down, how to level your first, and any subsequent characters, to level 60 quickly in Shadowlands.

World of Warcraft Shadowlands dungeon guide: How to fight through Plaguefall
wow shadowlands plaguefall dungeon boss guide

Toward the end of your romp through World of Warcraft's new Maldraxxus zone, a region of the Shadowlands caught in its own civil war, you’ll make your move on the desecrated land of Plaguefall. The former House of Plagues is home to the now utterly nuts Margrave Stradama, who needs putting down.

It’s a dungeon filled to the brim with poison clouds and goop-covered floors, making movement a big part of the trick to surviving its tunnels. It's a tough one to heal, but everyone playing their part can make it far easier than it sometimes looks. Here’s the complete guide of Plaguefall boss strats.
How to unlock
Much like the first dungeon of the expansion -- The Necrotic Wake -- Plaguefall is unlocked simply by hitting a certain level. In this case, 54. On top of that, you'll need to have an average item level of 100 to enter, after which you'll be free to queue as and when you please.
