I actually got the normal raid done ahead of schedule by joining a guild run that seem to know what they're doing. I got one trinket that's much harder to use than the lower iLevel one I'm currently using. Still, that complete run unlocks all of the iLevel 200 gears slot from raid Great Vault. Now just going about to grind the Mythid +.

On the last day of the raid week, I went on another PuG group. This time, I stick around for about 3 hours as they finished the last 4 bosses. No loot, but this unlocks the other 2 normal raid slot in the Great Vault. The battle pet did drop from the final boss, unfortunately I didn't get it.

I did one Theater of Pain +7. Didn't finish it in time, but it's good for next week's great vault. The 7+ extra content is a wee bit harder than the previous week's. I also went onto two PUGs to look at Council of Blood. Didn't finish it, but at least I got to see the final phase.
134/93/66 88 mg/DL 252.6lb
I picked an iLevel 210 cloak from the Great Vault as it offers an upgrade to both Retribution and Holy spec. There was no loot from the World Boss except anima.
I join another group to do the raid, and managed to get 6 out of 10 boss down, receiving one piece of upgrade that's once again good for Retribution and Holy.
139/99/65 100 mg/DL 254.2lb
I did a couple of more Mythic Plus as well as Mythic 0. In one of the Mythic 0, I managed to upgrade the healing weapon. I'm still not ready to heal much with it.
140/95/63 87 mg/DL 252.8
I went ahead and join another PuG Raid to get some normal raiding done. I actually did ok, chalking up #1 on DPS for 2 fights. I was traded with a trinket that turns out to be suboptimal.

After doing Mists of Tirna Scithe multiple times for the weekly event, I got an iLevel 210 shoulder. With that in mind, I chose the iLevel 213 belt from the weekly vault and got the Memory of the Mad Paragon recipe. I went ahead and build a rank 3 boot from that.
137/100/68 88 mg/DL 250.4lb
On the reset day, my character managed to hit the 'revered' state with the Maw NPC. I did a couple of upgrades and did one wing of Torghast in group. Blizzard made some adjustment to make soloing the top level extremely difficult with the current gear. Afterward, I did the World Boss to get the 2 renow for my covenant done, which starts the next campaign storyline. Strangely enough, I also hit friendly status with Court of the Night, the extra Ardenweald faction that allows me to buy a couple of pets. While in Ardenweald, I finished up the Star Lake Amphitheater achievement that allows me to buy the Moth mount for 5k anima. I'm still debating on doing that.
The weekly event is for a piece of heroic raid gear from doing 4 Mythic dungeon. I'm already doing way more than that, so I'll be queueing up soonish. Weekly chest doesn't have anything I'm critically short on yet, and I may just go ahead and make the second best Legendary for me for the time being.
142/98/65 95 mg/DL 251.2lb
I got Exalted with Court of Harvester early on and bought the iLevel 200 neck piece from them, which is a solid upgrade. I also bought the faction horse to bump up the mount count, now well over 500 usable on the Paladin. I spend the rest of the time doing Mythic+. I was able to get two pieces of gears, and these should be options in the Great Vault on reset.
141/89/64 97 mg/DL 250.4lb
I managed to finish a M+7 instance. No loot, but it did improve my weekly chest's loot to be on par with normal raid loot.

We did the first raid of the expansion. We got 2 out of 10 bosses on Normal done. There are quite a bit of mechanics to get through, but that's part of the learning process.
127/86/74 99 mg/Dl 251.2lb
I tank 2 more Mythic+. First I did Halls of Atonement again and this time on a M+2 I got what I was farming for. Later I was invited to tank Plaguefall+3, which I was kind of not prepared for. Closing out the night, I ran Theater of Pain +2 twice and got a trinket that's not quite an upgrade. Still I got upgrade from Plaguefall that brings my iLevel up to 183.
131/105/83 104 mg/DL 250.6lb
I tanked Halls of Atonement again in hope of getting the last dungeon drop Legendary. Still no luck, albeit, this time is Mythic +2. I had enough gears to do that one properly. Perhaps I can get it later. I also finish up Torghast for the week and got to the 3rd level of trust with the Maw's lone friendly NPC.
133/91/71 94 mg/Dl 251lb
On the last day of the 2nd week of Shadowlands, I just took it easy and tank 2 seperate run of Halls of Atonement. Still no legendary.
142/93/63 107 mg/DL 251.4lb
I started to do Ember Court weekly event and found out that I still need to do a whole bunch of side quest to get the it going properly.

142/106/64 95 mg/DL 252lb
I tank both Plaguefall and The Necrotic Wake, though the latter isn't buy choice as our tank DC'ed. The Paladin finally upgraded her tanking shield from the second dungeon. On my way to and from World Quest objectives, I was able to get Famu's mount. Here's the Paladin in the zone on the mount.
145/99/67 83 mg/DL 252.2lb
The first full reset day of the expansion and still no Great Vault yet. I finished the 3 renown for the week in quick order. I finished 1/2 of the Torghast by just going straight to the 3 layer of the new wing. It was way harder than I have anticipated despite the upgraded gear I'm now using.
118/80/68 105 mg/DL 253.4lb
I finished up the last 3 Mythic dungeon for the week and got 2 more pieces of upgrade. Halls of Atonement was a bit of chores, as everyone there speaks Portuguese and I don't. Didn't help that the tank have never been there before. The Necrotic Wake the issue is with people losing power and disconnecting, the actual fight actually went rather smoothly. And finally Spires of Ascension went really smoothly.
146/101/69 109 mg/DL 253lb
I did 5 out 8 Mythic dungeon in running around doing world quests. Properly upgraded my gears to be above 170.

I was wondering where the new Emissary quest (Calling) were now that I've hit 60. As it turns out, I needs to advance the story quest a bit more into Torghast a bit more to get that made available. Once I got that done, I got the Calling to 3 seperate zones.
I've geared enough to get my iLevel past 155, which means I can queue for Heroic. I'm now just queueing for Heroic while doing world quest or other things. I end the night at 162.
141/111/69 84 mg/DL 252.2lb
I got to level 60 in the middle of the 3rd chapter of Ravendredth. After that, I have to finished up the rest of the story quest to get to choose a Covenant. I only replace 3 pieces of gear up to this point, which means I really needs to catch up on gearing up. I did pick up 3 mounts from Ardenweald one of them was a simple puzzle piece, while the other is located at the end of a maze. The maze was populated with elite World Quest mobs so I died quite a few times getting there.
131/98/65 97 mg/DL 252.8lb
I got the Paladin at about 59.5, and I'm only on the 3rd storyline hub of Ravendredth. I guess I'll be spending most of Ravendredth as level 60 and I'll need to complete the story quest just to join a Covenant. I spend way too much time on launch day, so I'm taking it easier on day 2.
137/107/65 89 mg/DL 251.6lb
Shadowlands launch more or less with my expectation. I login a bit early and park in front of the quest portal. There were a lot of other people with the same idea. But once I got in, it went relatively smoothly. By the time I got to Orobus, I was nearly level 51. I finished up Bastion at level 64 and I'm almost at 57 by the time I left Maldraxxus on my way to Ardenweald. It was quite a bit of a shock losing 15% of my with just the removal of Hearth of Azeroth and disabling of the Azerite gears, nevermind the Essence. Right now the only gears I've replace are my lowest iLevel gear, trinket. I sense that my neck and cloak will see me all the way to the max level of 60.
150/117/71 85 mg/DL 251.6lb
I spend the last full day of BFA running around in Icecrown camping rares with the Bank Alt and gearing her up. She ended the day with iLevel of about 100. I also send as many people through Tomb of Sargeras and Antorus as I can for transmog. Didn't get many pieces.

Due to some error on Blizzard's part, Dunegorger Kraulok wasn't dropping mount Mollie. They've hotfix it and reset the weekly counter. I was able to get it on my 10th re-kill of the day. Here's the Lightforge Draenei on Mollie with the boss behind her. Total attempts minus the 24 runs from Wednesday when it was bugged is 118.
140/110/67 96 mg/DL 252.4lb
The reset day came, and the server came up earlier than advertised. The scourge invasion is now in full force and it's a bit of pain getting anything done. I've given up on doing any of the new quests on the older characters who don't need gears, concentrating on getting the full sets of transmog from the vendor. I should also go and pick up more pets before they're totally gone.
I managed to get all of my level 50 characters their 2nd shot at the iLevel 115 weapon. This is made even harder by some people who became zombie while infecting as many people as possible.
138/89/73 93 mg/DL 252.6lb
The internet went out for 7 hours during the entire morning. I of course didn't get anything done.
The emissary is once again 2k gold, this time in Najatar, but first I have to complete the Icecrown quest for the prelaunch event. This unlocks more dailies for the rest of my characters.
137/98/72 98 mg/DL 253.6lb
The daily emissary is for 2K gold. Unfortunately there's no handy portal to the Warfront zone, so I have to lug all 21 level 50 characters to Nazmir to do most of the quest.
I've also figure out how to get characters that didn't do Legion content to go to Argus for the sole purpose of getting to Antorus raid instance. It's much shorter than I remember it.

Did another run of Antorus full clear on the Paladin. Still missing the 2 tier pieces.
137/102/60/95 mg/DL 251.4lb
The emissary is for iLevel 99 weapon. While I've already gotten 115 weapons from the limited time world quest, this helps out on some of my other specs for the 5 new characters. I also ran them through both invasions to get quest tokens for the Horrific Visions.
I've started to farm Bronjahm for his 34 slot bag. Bag space is bag space.
166/107/69 102 mg/Dl 251.2lb
While the pre-patch event is active, I'm going to go and stack up on the new limited time battle pet as much as possible. This means doing the dailies and the rares. I've also started to look at the new version of the haunted memento price, which have dropped down to 70k. I'll probably want to pick up as many of those as possible.
145/99/65 95 mg/DL 251.8lb
The 2 week long pre-patch event starts. There's also a weekly world quest that rewards iLevel 115 weapon, which the majority of my characters could use. Some of the new dailies are rather time consuming. And the new rare rotation is a bit of a chore to farm for questionable gear.
123/88/67 105 mg/DL 251lb
On the last day of pre-pre-patch day, I went ahead and practice how to heal on the Mechagnome Shadow Priest. It went mostly well. The next day will bring the pre-patch event in Icecrown and plague events in the capital cities. I'll probably do them first on the main character and any other characters that needs catch up gears.
146/112/69 96 mg/DL 251lb
After going through most of Drustvar for the 40-50 run, the Mechagnome Shadow Priest hit the current max level. I was able to get the iLevel up to 91.50 with 94.56 being the maximum available. This involved roughly 7 hours of doing all of the 8.2/8.3 contents. I even spend time on Mechagon Island in hope that the punch card trinket would help (it didn't). Still doing everything correctly winds up not costing me as much as I fear. Playing a class with heal also help, as this past week's event is the 4 Mythic dungeon for Heroic raid gear. I was able to get a trinket from that. Afterward, I also use Mythic dungeon to gear up the character further via emissary and Assault. One thing I was keen on testing out is the Mythic Tol Dagor where there are sections of the instance where you can bypass with lock picking. Mechagnome has build in lock picking and I was able to get the group to bypass that.

I spend more time doing emissary quests and end the night doing Antorus for the transmog. Still did not get the transmog I was looking for.
I also finished up the weekly events for 2 more characters. No good gears.
138/98/62 107 mg/DL 252.4lb
The emissary is Najatar factions. I decided to do the weekly event instead, the 4 Mythic dungeons. I got the Hunter through her runs to get an melee specific trinket that's rather useless for Beast Master spec. I did finish 3/4 of the weekly for the Death Knight. She'll finish those the next day.
130/106/63 91 mg/Dl 250.8lb
No interesting emissary, and the weekly event is Mythic dungeon. I spend the day doing the Invasions on the 4 new characters as well as the daily minor vision.

Blizzard released a new battle pet quest chain to get the pat Glimr. Unfortunately too many people with nothing better to do but to grief those of us that actually wants the pet by parking very large mount over the quest object. I managed to hop onto a druid and finished the quest. It's a very cute murloc.
149/108/64 105 mg/DL 251.8lb
Two back to back 2k gold day. On my main server, I managed to make about 100k of gold just on doing them. I did a couple of mount runs in Nighthold. No mount.

The screen protector for the new phone arrive, which means I can finally start working on it. After attempts to wipe the phone failed, I had to go ahead and upgrade the toolkit (3 years old). 6 hours later, I've copied the data over and finished setting it up.
On Warcraft side, I finished up the emissary for the echos and did as many Horrific Vision as I can.
154/105/65 95 mg/DL 253.2lb
I'm still recovering from the long night's work on Tuesday night. My attempt at tempering the coffee intake have only resulted in caffeine withdrawal headache, so I have to stick with my regiment.
The emissary is for war resources that none of my characters needed, but my new characters still does them for echo.
165/84/65 93 mg/DL
The emissary is for Azerite gears that my new characters can use, so I ran all 4 of them through that rotation. I then went about doing the Mythic Nighthold and Antorus for transmog and mount. I came away empty handed.
150/108/66 98 mg/DL 251.2lb
The emissary does not have any rewards that I'm interested in, but I still needs echos for the newer characters to buy the essences, so I went ahead and do them. I also finished both invasion and the patch 8.3 world boss for gears.
164/111/61 101 mg/DL 250.8lb
The emissary is for Champion of Azeroth and Azerite Power. I ran them on my 4 new characters since they still need the currency to buy essences. I ran a full run of Antorus, and nearly all of the paladin there are for the chest tier piece, none of them got it though.

I went to the dentist for a small filling. After they took x-ray picture of tooth in question, the order changed to a root canal. I'm not exactly thrilled about this, and I'll have to go back in 2 weeks to get permanent crown, while working with a temporary one for now.
I'm poor again in World of Warcraft after spending 3.57 million gold on Shackled Ur'zul. This is by far the most expensive mount I've bought since start keeping books on Tradeskill Master, beating out only by Mighty Caravan Brutosaur from the start of BFA. Here's a running list of expensive mount I've bought:
Mighty Caravan Brutosaur 5 million
Shackled Ur'zul 3.57 million
Solar Spirehawk 2.94 million
Swift Shorestrider 2.5 million
Son of Galleon 1.269 million
Cobalt Primordial Direhorn 1.097 million
I'm going into Shadowland with less than 500k gold.
Here's what the mount looks like:

On the last day of week 1 of pre-patch, I went about fixing as much mods as I can and run some instances in specs I'm not used to, like Balance Druid. I still don't know how to play the new version of Balance Druid, but I'm having a good time.
153/101/64 109 mg/DL 251.4lb
I spend the day gearing up the new hunter through Mythic 0 and finally Heroic Darkshore Warfront. By the time I was doing Warfront, I was so sleepy that I didn't contribute much to the match, and I only got a bracer.

Day 3 of the prepatch. Found some more issue, such as the fact that one of the mod is currently stopping my character from using taxi service. Now it's time to do search. to find out the mod.
My hunters' is currently taming Elegon as pet, here's Kycilia with her pair of Elegon.
I also started another hunter on the Lightbringer server and try the Exile's Reach experience. However, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to get off that ride once I finish it (and I was exactly level 10 when I left). I was send onto Kul Tiras to start the entire BFA expansion. Once I got through the introductory quests, I also found out that I cannot just go to Drustvar, like I always do. I was only offered Tirisgarde Sound and I finished up the storyquest as far as I can (with the Ashvane driven out of power). At the end of the night, the character is at level 22, almost to 23. Now I'm just trying to figure out what I'm missing in terms of story quests to continue my journey. At level 30 I should be getting flying which would make the whole exercise a lot faster.
