Cataclysm Bucket List

Cynwise wrote a great post on CFN yesterday - a bucket list of things he wants to do during the rest of the Cataclysm expansion. I'm a bit resistant to January-inspired resolutions as if New Year grants you some mystical power to hold true to your course, but this was less grandiose, more practical and just generally motivating to read. So. There are things I've been wanting to do since I started playing WoW and other goals that are a little younger. Just for fun, here's my Cataclysm/2012 bucket list! (It's been copied to a permanent page for posterity and kept up-to-date there!)

General:

• Level one of each character to 85
• Druid - 85
• Paladin - 85
• Death Knight - 80
• Shaman - 49
• Mage - 25 and 13
• Priest - 22
• Rogue -7
• Hunter - 6
• Warlock - 6
• Warrior - need to roll one
• Level each profession up to 525
• Alchemy - 525
• Tailoring - 525
• Jewelcrafting - 525
• Mining - 525
• Herbalism - 525
• Blacksmithing - 520
• Skinning - 333
• Leatherworking - 241
• Enchanting - 220
• Inscription - 147
• Engineering - 100
• Make one character an actual bank alt with a guild bank to use
• Try healing on all four healing classes (and in both healing priest specs!)

I've wanted one of each character since I opened the character creation screen for the first time. Sure, there are some that don't appeal as much. I'm a ranged girl at heart because melee confuses and scares me (how on earth do you know what's going on in the middle of all that kerfuffle?!) and lots of ranged DPS classes have a healing tree too. There's also a reason I've played enough melee to reach this conclusion - paladins need a ranged dps spec!

Having one of each profession at 525 is partly a completionest tendency shining through and partly my compulsion to needlessly update gear that will be replaced in 3 levels. Plus, engineering sounds like fun. Half of the difficulty will be deciding which professions suit which classes the best for those that aren't already maxed. I might swap some around and start afresh.


Specific character goals (click images to see in giganto size!):

It looks like a really, really big list. It is! 2012 is a year where I'd like to work more on non-gaming hobbies too, but I'm hopeful that I can get a lot of these goals ticked off before Mists throws me back into the rush of a new expansion.

How about you? What will you try and achieve in-game?
