Today happened something really strange with my warlock while questing in Jade Forest. I was at the Tian Monastery doing the quest where you have to pick up oranges
from Greenwood Thieves.
( A Courteous Guest - Quest - World of Warcraft )
The follow quest was to talk to High Elder Cloudfall, where you can choose between 2 dialogues 2 times, I always clicked the one at the bottom saying "save your time old man, skip this shit" or something like that

After getting a short black screen because of a cutscene I suddenly unlocked the Professor Title and the achievement for finding 20 rare artifacts
( Professor - Title - World of Warcraft )
But I only found 12 rare artifacts yet, and not 20?!
The day before I solved 1 Mogu and 1 Pandaren rare Item (trinket+speer).
I don't know if this is a bug and if it is repeatable, but it worked for me and now I don't have to waste my time finding more rare artifacts
Achievements just popped up after the cutscene / blackscreen!
First confirm from a user!! This will save you hundred hours of stupid flying around to skill archaeology and to find rare artifacts
What did u say? Screenshot or it didn't happened? Well, here you go:

Hope this works for you too and maybe somebody can confirm this!
Happened on a EU realm, today @ 17th of october after server maintenance
Seems like you have to begin the achievements first to make this work.
If you already have done the quest, try this with another char (85 or higher)
I should mention that you can't get banned for doing this, you are just questing in Jade Forest

You need to have Goblin Glider - Spell - World of Warcraft , it may work with other items, this is one I have tried with.
Steps:
1. Queu up for random BG.
2. Make sure you are on your flying mount.
3. Accept BG.
4. When BG is about to end use Goblin Glider, and hopefully you timed it right so you are still on it when BG finished.
5. Click Leave BG.
The buff still stays even if it hits 0 seconds & even if you log out, also when you dismount you will have slow fall effect till you touch the ground, so its an unlimited slow fall.
This video shows you a Mob with 2.1 Million health we have a paladin tagging and killing it to receive 110k xp Per Min, 20 Second Kill 10 Second Downtime Leading to 30 Seconds per 110k
110k x 2 per Min = 220k Per Min x 60 = 12 Million xp Per Hour we have only been online for 2 Hours and our paladin is at level 88.

Is the location it's showed within video.
how to increase your chances to get you the FoS achievement -
Or if you are really setting your goal for it, maybe even get you it!
Disclaimer: This is not for noobs, you must be very experienced with your class, World of Warcraft, fast leveling in general, and you must have the time! This will not work if you are not ready at LAUNCH time, you can not excpect to get realm first if you go to sleep early and then go to school before starting the journey to 90!
Preparing for MoP Realm First:
Things you will need :
#1 Reliable network
You must be 100% sure that you have your network ready for the launch day. One Disconnect and you risk your realm first achievement right there!
Having 1000ms won't help you very much aswell, make sure you have closed every download / porn sites / YouTube or whatever that might cause you to lagg more than wanted.
#2 Food, Energy (Drinks / bars etc)
Even tho you are going for realm first, you need to stay hydrated and not starve This is pretty self explanitory but you cant spend 30 minutes at level 87 cooking food because you get hungry. What I like to do is to make some awesome taco before launch and eat me full and then wrap some more so I can eat whenever I get hungry, just put it in the microwave for one minute when you have any idle* time on WoW.
*Idle time is a time where there is some cinematic. You probably remember the first time you went to Vasj'ir and had to sit on the boat for 3 minutes doing nothing. This is a good time to go to the bathroom and get your food heated up in the microwave.
#3 Privacy
Tell your wife / friends / your dog or whoever you may live with, what you are doing. You dont want your girlfriend charging into your room dragging you to shopping or your boyfriend begging you for le sexy time. So make sure they know, you don't want ANY downtime!
#4 Have the client downloaded!
Make sure you have downloaded the game before the launch! Open the launcher and it will start download (They have allready made the game available for download)
#5 (Optional) Some good music!
What I like to do when playing games is to turn on my kick ass surround sound system and fire up some awesome music! This makes the gametime more fun and less boring 
Spotify is a great way to setup music for your gameplay, just make an account on Download Spotify - Spotify (I highly reccomend getting premium so you wont have any commercials between the music which is really annoying trust me.) Make your playlist and put it as "Available Offline" so it wont use any uneccesarry net.
In-game Preperations :
#1 Keybindings
Make sure you have keybindings for targetting and interracting with friendly NPCs, this will make it much easier if there are alot of people blocking the quest givers etc.
#2 Addons
You dont want to spend alot of time clicking accept and and complete and all that, Turn In lets you skip all that and makes you a couple of seconds ahead.
Turn In - Quests & Leveling - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse
You dont wanna stop for 10 second figuring out where to go looking at you map. Mapster gives you the ability to have the map open while running around questing.
Mapster - Map & Minimap - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse
Make sure all your addons WORK on the Beta, you don't want your addons to crash your client while playing the game.
#3 Daily Quests
Make sure you have 25 daily quests and preferrably normal quests besides that.
I will have the comment below reserved for full guide on all the quests you can get and deliver when MoP hits.
#4 85 Heirloom gear *Note: this is not tested, but it worked at Cata launch!
In Cataclysm only 2 new heirlooms was implemented, the head and the cloak (80-85) Im 99% sure this will work in MoP. Basically since its 80-85 it means you can use it in 85 aswell to gain more exp untill level 86.
#5 Flasks / Potions / Food and inventory
This is pretty much self-explanitory. Clear your bags of trash, put useless stuff in your bank and buy alot of potions, flasks and buff food.
The more buffs you have, the faster you will level!
#6 Level 25 guild
Make sure to have a level 25 guild for the extra experience points and to setup dungeon groups before launch.
Beta preperations :
If you don't have beta access, buy it from someone on the forums, get it from a friend, just make sure you have it! If you don't...well then you could pretty much give up allready.
#1 Talents and gear
Figure out the best possible spec you can have. Get BiS gear, the better gear you have, the more damage you will do and the faster you will level up.
#2 Read up on your class
MMO-Champion - World of Warcraft News and Raiding Strategies
Mmo champion have all the updates on every class, I won't teach you how to play, so go read up on that site if you are not 100% sure of what changes gonna hit in MoP and how you will handle that.
#3 90s everywhere!
Go to Battle.net -> Summary -> WoW Beta -> Beta Character Copy -> and copy your char.
Now what? Level it up, level it up 10 times, level it up 100 times. Level it up enough times so you are 100% sure your method is the fastest!
Ask other 90s their /played time and if they did it faster then you? Well guess what, level your char more!
Optimizing your strategies :
#1 Figure out the fastest way to travel
Where should you put your HS? Figure out the best times to change zones. There are many items in-game that lets you teleport to different places around Azeroth!
#2 Enchants and Gems
Keep enchants and gems in your inventory to enchant your new gear. Every oppertunity to gain more dps is an oppertunity to level faster!
#3 Don't kill uneccesarry stuff!
Don't stay around to finish that 1 extra mob you pulled after completing the neccesarry stuff for your quest! Are you a rogue? Vanish. Are you a hunter? Feign Death. Are you a druid? Dash away. Effectivity ftw!
#4 Practice!
Don't stop with the Beta playing until you are fully satisfied with the speed and effincency of your leveling method and you are sure you will get Realm First with that exacy method!
Bonus:
MONKS ONLY!
If you plan on getting realm first level 90 Monk, you HAVE to do the RAF to get your monk to level 81 ASAP!
Basically, just kill a couple of mobs at level 1 and then grant to level 80. And after you have granted that last level. You will be level 80 and have 99% exp for level 81
Reagents needed:
150 Maelstrom Crystal = 90 Maelstrom Crystal + 90 Heavenly Shard
200 Spirit Dust = 60 Spirit Dust + 25 Mysterious Essence
~46 Enchanting Vellum.
Preparation:
Make sure that you are in 25 lvl guild and you have 90 Maelstrom Crystal + 90 Heavenly Shard.
Log into the game approx 3-4 hours before MoP release.
Run to any Enchanting Trainer except all proffesions masters in noob locations. Prepare to meet few competitors there.
Remember name of your trainer and do a macro for targeting.
Interact with him through keybind(there might be some mammoth-guys or something like that)
Learn Zen Master Enchanter.
Buy all the greens and Spirit Dust from AH till you get 200. Or you can buy only greens you need about 67 of them.
You should mix both ways.
You also can spam in trade chat about it. Many people will gladly sell it to you for about 100-300 gold per one item.
So you need about 21000 gold for all 67 items.
Important! If you will buy greens, you should ask ppl to sell it to you through trade window, not through mail. If they are not in your guild(17+) ofcourse!
Leveling:
1. 525-540 Enchant Chest - Peerless Stats x20-30
2. 540-550 Enchant Bracer - Major Dodge x2
3. 550-577 Enchant Chest - Superior Stamina x9
4. 577-597 Enchant Chest - Glorious Stats x4
5. 597-600 Enchant Off-Hand - Major Intellect x1
Usefull information:
It would be very good if you know any crafting profession except Engeneering at 525 skill level.
You can buy mats and craft few MoP greens. As I think, it would be good to farm skin somewhere and craft cheap greens with leatherworking.
Almost all profession greens are BoE, so you can ask your friends with Skinning and Leatherworking.
Or just recruit few people to farm skins for your friend or you(anyone who will craft greens).
Misthide Boots in Leatherworking. Reagents: 8 Exotic Leather
Spiritguard Gauntlets in Blacksmithing. Reagents: 7 Ghost Iron Bar
Windwool Bracers in Tailoring. Reagents: 3 Bolt of Windwool Cloth = 15 Windwool Cloth
Average amount of Spirit Dust per green item disenchant: 3
Lowest MoP green item ilvl is 364, Stitched Robe as example.
Up-Converts:
5 Spirit Dust = 1 Mysterious Essence - Mysterious Essence
5 Mysterious Essence = 1 Ethereal Shard - Ethereal Shard
5 Ethereal Shard = 1 Sha Crystal - Sha Crystal
Down-Converts:
1 Sha Crystal = 2 Ethereal Shard - Sha Shatter
1 Ethereal Shard = 3 Mysterious Essence - Ethereal Shatter
1 Mysterious Essence = 3 Spirit Dust - Mysterious Diffusion
After you first get to Pandaria as a horde, you fight the alliance from your ship.
Two quests later you get "Finish Them!" & "Fire is always the Answer".
Do NOT turn these in. If you do, you will be phased out.
The mobs; Tunder Hold "XXX". It's a different bunch of mobs. Mender, Sharp-Shooter, Infantryman etc.
Spawn rate is very fast. I could basicly just stand still and aoe.
They drop a lot of Windwool cloth. If you are interested in this as a leveling spot they give between 2-4k exp.
Not the best exp, but its a lot of cloth!
Horde & Alliance!
Hello my friends, this is pretty simple, all you have to do is get enough fishing skill to get this quest.
"Could I get a finishing flier?".
Horde side: Orgrimmar close to AH, goblin male. Just complete the quest over and over again.
Alliance side: Ironforge close to AH aswell, dwarf mage. Just complete the quest over and over again.
For easy rep++ download an addon called "Completer", and bind a key to "interact with target" and thats it!
Enjoy ur exalted and level25 G.
This includes the INSTANTLY repeatable Fishing flier quest available from Grinkle as well as Barrus
All you need to do is accept and complete the quest. and repeat. Exalted in no time. Works at level 85
macro contributed by hackerlol to delete fishing fliers from your bag:
/run for bag = ,4,1 do for slot = 1, 32, 1 do local name = GetContainerItemLink(bag,slot); if name and string.find(name,"Fishing Tournament!") then PickupContainerItem(bag,slot); DeleteCursorItem(); end; end; end
The following taken from Phantoms post:
Alright, now this part isn't needed, but if you wish to make this happen quickly, I strongly suggest it.
First, bind Interact With Target to an easy to reach key, such as Action Bar Slot 3.
Also, turn on Sticky Targeting.
Next, bind the following macro to an easy to reach key, such as Action Bar Slot 2:
/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward()
What the above macro does, is clicks "Continue", and then on the next turn "Complete Quest" for you after you talk to the guy.
Now, click on the quest giver. Since you have Sticky Targeting on, even if you click somewhere else, it will not take you off of him.
Now, press the key you bound to Interact with Target (I used 3).
This will start the quest log. Click the macro you bound (I used 2).
That will auto-click Continue and Complete Quest for you.
That's one quest turn-in.
So, the basic order is 3-2-2 (using my keybinds).
However, with Sticky Targeting, just spam both at the same time as fast as you can. This will result in turning in the quest VERY fast, and causing you to get Exalted with your guild within 5-10 minutes and letting you get 60k guild exp per .5 - 1 second!
This achievement/feat of strength isn't intended to be obtainable ingame because the limitless setting needed was eliminated prior to the release of Cataclysm. There is nevertheless a workaround/exploit that permits you to acquire it in spite of this.
Don't Want No Zombies on My Lawn
Survive 15 waves on Endless Mode the Peacebloom vs. Ghouls quest in Hillsbrad Foothills.
I've sought out this but haven't thought it was posted before. A pre-requirement is that you simply never have finished the quest sequence before. For those who have, then My apologies. I really don't believe you can acquire it.
Step 1: Travel to Hillsbrad Foothills and finish the Basic Botany, Flower Power, Gouls Hate My Grains quests of the collection. It is crucial you do not finish "Someone Setup the Pumpkin Bomb" quest. It is probably also possible to complete this on the "Lawn of the Dead" quest but I did it on the earlier one.
Step 2: Begin the quest "Someone Setup the Pumpkin Bomb". As soon as you have started it disconnect. By pulling the cable. I disconnected by pulling the cable when confirming it but by accident( internet shut down for a second) when discovering it.
Step 3: Re-connect as soon as you can. The quest should now be failed but you should still be playing. The event will now be in endless mode. Continue playing it by any decent guide, f.ex: Peacebloom VS. Ghouls - The Strategy Guide to complete the achievement. After surviving 15 waves you will obtain the achievement. Congrats.
It seems to bug for some people when reaching 6/7 or 7/7 waves where the waves just stops spawning. If you are stuck at 6/7 or 7/7 for a couple of minutes without additional spawns then I suggest you try again.
