Named after a Grateful Dead compilation album.

The title of the compilation comes from one of Robert Hunter's most famous lyrics, the line from "Truckin'": Lately it occurs to me: What a long, strange trip it's been.

As it currently stands, players will not be able to complete this achievement until September 20th, 2009 at the earliest, when Brewfest 2009 begins. ~~All new characters, including death knights, will be unable to complete this achievement until September 2010 at the earliest.~~

Update: Brew of the Year was removed as a requirement for this achievement in patch 3.1. Players can now complete the achievement in one year.

This Achievment could very well take a few years to complete. Knowing very casual or strict players,many usually hold-off on paying for more Game Time when it expires. An average player would pay for a 30$ Game Card once every 2 months. And since theres practically a Holiday every 2 months or so,especially during Fall-Winter Seasons Desperate Players wouldn't want to miss out on any Holiday and wait next year. Do the basic math and the 'average' person will spend 180$ a year,possibly more just to complete this achievment.

Now if It's worth the reward,then go for it. =)

This However will not apply towards Hardcore Players or anyone that endlessly pays for Wow. =P

The name of this achievement is a nod towards the track Truckin' by The Grateful Dead (who by the way started life as The Warlocks). The band are well known for their live shows, eclectic sound, extraordinarily dedicated fans known as 'Deadheads', and drug culture. Many LSD prints feature art from the bands album covers.

The lyrics "What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been" were supposedly used as a metaphor for the bands troubles on the road and how they adapted to them. Similar to the aggro we're in for in trying to obtain this achievement - clever Blizz. Although one can't help thinking that it may be a reference to a different kind of 'Trip'.

It's good to know that there's possibly Deadheads working at Blizz!

alot of people don't know that the violent proto-drake is a 310% mount. so it's worth waiting a year for

I noticed Blizzard has now added Noble Gardener to the requirements for this achievement. So now, everyone who's been doing the achievements since Merrymaker, have to wait longer than a year since it was first announced?

I ask because I didnt start focusing on these seasonal achievements until Elders. So i figured I'd be getting the mount a few months after the first people who did every achievement since Merrymaker. Now it looks like everyone is back to square one...and has to wait a year from today, unless of course Blizzard adds another requirement somewhere down the line.....

I love that mount. unfortunately i missed noble garden and childrens week this year. Does anyone know if this mount gets removed like the plagued and black protodrake? would hate to miss this one

Anyone else think that this achievement should also grant the title 'the Traveler'? After everything we have to do to get the Proto-Drake it just seems fitting.

On the PTR it looks like they're revamping the Harvest Festival, or whatever fest is the one that's based on Tanksgiving Day. In addition, I've seen a few other World Events Achievements: one based on the day of the deads and another about the Pirate Day. While I'm happy to see new achievements being added, I'd like to ask to someone who's on the PTR if there's any chance that the new Meta Achievements will be added? This way, the people (Like me) who just need a few Brewfest achievements for the drake would be sort of shafted. I don't want to farm like a crazy every day for a new meta achievement as it was for Noblegarden.

Here's the mail you get upon completion, at least Horde side (yes, it's two times "remeber")

With the drums of war pounding in the distance, it is easy for the denizens of Azeroth to forget all that life has to offer.

You, on the other hand, have mainteind the dignity of the good races of Azeroth with your ability to remeber what we fight for. To not celebrate our victories is another form of defeat. Remeber that well, reveler.

May others be inspired by your good cheer.

As of September 20th, 2009, this Drake is now obtainable. Granted, you must have completed all the Hollidays up to this point, but Brewfest, the final holliday, has been released and it can be obtained NOW.

i posted this a couple weeks ago, not noticing that this achievement was split between the Horde and the Alliance, so here you go:

To earn this achievement you must meet the following requirements:

You must be Level 80 (heroic Gun'drak elder in the Lunar Festival)
You must have access to Dalaran (many)
You must have access to Naxxramas (I Pitied the Fool, Love is in the air)
You must have access to several 5 man dungeons, from old Azeroth to Northrend.
You must have the ability to perform well in battlegrounds/pvp (many)
You must have 325 cooking (The Winterveil Gourmet, Winter veil)
You must have a lot of time (even if you subtract that months of total time without events, during each event you must spend a lot of time chasing achievements.)
You must have the willingness to travel EVERYWHERE.

This final achievement name pays homage to one of Jeff Kaplan's aka Tigole (A lead developer for Blizzard) update from his former life in EQ as a "reporter" from Legacy of Steel. You can find his titled 11/18/00 update here: http://www.legacyofsteel.net/oldsite/arc94.html

Also as a fun fact there are a number of NPCs in Dalaran named after Legacy of Steel members.

This is an achievement that awards mages and teleportation. I've been amazed at how much faster this has been going for my mage than it was going for my 'lock. With the warlock the quests were too much work. With the mage, the daily quests are a pleasure.

You must be Level 80 ~~(heroic Gun'drak elder in the Lunar Festival)~~

The elder has moved to the room with the Drakkari Colossus and is accessible on normal mode.

Editted to be more correct, thank you brionl.

I just got my Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake in the mail, which was well worth the insane amount of time I spent working on holiday achievements, plus it gets me that much closer to the Mountain o' Mounts achievement and the Blue Dragonhawk that comes with it. GL to everyone working on the achievement! =)

Thanks to 16h queues in "School of Hard Knocks" I lost a whole year of achievements and will be able to get the Proto Only on 2011's Children's Week.

A Lot of People are asking me if this achievement is hard and theres a simple answer: no its not its just consuming a lot of time especially if you miss 1 of the events that require you to go around the entire world (Haloween, Lunar Festival, Flame Warden ) . Some of the Achievements can get a little tricky but its still doable even for ppl who havent got full ICC gear or so :)

GL to all who want to be a Proud owner of the Violet Proto Drake :D

AS of 4.01 this is just a diffrent skin it is not or does not give you 310% mount speed. We should all submit a request that the reward for thei long hard achievement be the mount and a tome to learn the mount speed riding skill.

Yay! I spoke too soon! *Deletes her last comment*. XD

From Zarhym (blue poster) here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?sid=1&topicId=27187849344&pageNo=28

Q u o t e:

"I have a slight update to spread to the masses. We are going to be adding a hotfix for the achievement What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been. This hotfix will make it so that obtaining the Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake will award players Master riding.

The way in which 310% will be awarded is going to be a little quirky at first, but we plan to make it a more smooth process in a future patch. For now, you will need 280% flying in order to learn to use the Violet Proto-Drake. Once you mount the drake for the first time it will teach Master riding. The only catch is that you have to dismount and mount the drake again in order for 310% speed to take effect."

I only need Merrymaker (PvP part), Love Fool and children's week, so I'll be getting those instead of paying 5000g. Yeah, I'm a cheapskate too.

zahoan의 댓글

I just obtained Violet Proto Drake from what a long strange ... achiev

You will gain Master Riding only after you mount the Proto Drake

I don't know if it applies for other Proto Drakes but it sure does for this one, as Blizzard said it's a hot fix ( for the momment)

mrgummage의 댓글

It is worth noting that this achievement also now grants Master Riding, if you have not yet learned it. If you are close to getting this and want to save 5000g, consider holding out on buying Master Riding.

What I wonder now is if I get this on an alt with regular 150% flying, will it suddenly be rocketed to 310? if so I'm going to need to do this on alot of alts...

TbeL의 댓글

If I were to complete this achievement at a level <80 would I still get the master riding skill even though it has a req. level of 80?

If you get this achievement before you have epic flying, and you get master riding from it, do you get epic flying as well? If so, this could save me 8k just to wait a while to finish this meta

Alas... I triumped over Omen, prevented the next Ice Age, and got drunk like a frat-boy at a Stag Party. I saved the stupid Reindeer, and picked up hidden Eggs like a little Pamsy. And all I can say is boy... What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been.

shardsofpower의 댓글

This might be a stupid question and I'm sure the answer is no but just thought I'd ask anyway. If you already have Master Riding do you get a gold reward instead?

Solaire의 댓글

As you probably know now, if you still play, the mount is still available. I hope you got it! :)

Solaire의 댓글

I'm under the assumption that the reason you have to mount on it before earning Master riding, is because the physical mount (proto-drake) is 310% and it is the actual thing that gives you 310% (it's not just bestowed for getting the WALSTIB achievement) on all your other mounts.

Phobu의 댓글

in game the achievement says it gives master riding (the skill) what if you don't have the riding skill below that? Does it just give you that skill and master riding or what?

This achievement also gives you Master Riding if you don´t already have it. Nice to know.

You need Cataclysm expansion in order to complete this achievement.
Mainly due to the fact that some of the necessary achievements require you to be over lvl 80 (like Brewfest etc)
Just FYI, you can't get it with WotLK anymore.
:(

Waddafack의 댓글

So... I will get my 4000 gold from Master riding back, once I complete this achievement... right?

987495의 댓글

So, I just picked up the "WaLSTiB" achieve on a couple of alts during Children's Week.

There seems to be some discussion concerning how the Master Riding bonus works. When you finally get the WaLSTiB achieve, go check your mailbox. In your mailbox is 보라색 원시비룡 고삐. In order to use this item, you MUST have Artisan Riding. So, you cannot get "two-free" riding levels. You need to shell out the gold for Aristan Riding. It also says, "Upon first mounting, a character without Master Riding will learn Master Riding." Once you pull the drake from your mailbox, add it to your mount collection and then mount up. As soon as your mount, you will get 음속 돌파. If you already paid for Master riding, you do NOT get a refund.

Enjoy the drake and faster flying speed.
