Mounted Lumber Harvesting Achievements Now Tracking Progress

A much-desired change to harvest lumber while mounted, so are these achievements available now or just tracking the info?

Achievements aren't added yet, so it's just tracking to reward them when they are added.

Tracking them like they tracked the 'joined a PvP instance' achievement? Good grief.

What the heck is lumber?

Or... you could be a Druid, who can already harvest in travel form.

The entire point of adding these achievements is so people do not feel forced to play their druid to gather lumber.

Unfortunately 250 of each lumber type is still quite a lot when most nodes yield 1, sometimes 2 lumber.

The inevitable result is that people will continue to gather lumber on a druid, at least until acquiring these achievements.

It depends on what else you do while you're gathering lumber.

My druid is a skinner, but not a herbalist or a miner. Unless you have a flock of druids, you're going to be using several chars to gather lumber while farming anything else that you need to get.

Ah, another thing I would never bother, because neither the housing nor the lack of rewards for these extra grindy achievements are motivating to do.

Naw it adds up pretty quickly if you are just gathering lumber as you quest through zones.

Well they still need to implement lumber on WoD zones. I probably have the Mist one done already seeing as I've been focusing a lot on Pandaren walls and Jade statues.

IIRC it isn't retroactive.

Kinda sucks I went and crafted one of every profession decor already. Oh well.

Just out of curiosity where did you see that Blizz hotfixed tracking this stuff in? I never saw anywhere Blizz stated it. Since I've asked this now I'm sure it will have been right in front of my face and I somehow missed it XD
