The Price of Insanity – Chart

Thanks to the input from everyone on my recent post about the cost of the [Insane in the Membrane] achievement I’ve put together a chart with all the prices. It shows a breakdown of the reputations involved and the time and gold costs in getting each one to the required level.

Keep in mind that even if you farm materials like the [Pristine Black Diamond] yourself they still have a value which you forgo by turning them in for reputation instead of selling them on the Auction House. That’s the essence of the costs included here!

All up the cost of completing the [Insane in the Membrane] achievement is 111 hours of time invested and 107,175g.

As always would love to hear your feedback and any stories of disbelief when you tell your guildmates and friends exactly how much you spent getting your title!

Insane Reputations needed at same time?

I recently responded to a post on the official WoW forums on this topic. I thought it might be worthwhile to bring it up with you guys to discuss.

The gist of my response is “No, from information available you most likely will not need the reputations at the same time. Some people, however, have documented and reported different results. Why risk it anyway?”.

A copy of my response on the forums is below:

One of the main contributors to the widespread debate on this topic is actually BECAUSE of the ‘official’ responses. Many people have asked the question of GM’s and received responses in game both advising for and against the ‘all reps at the same time’ topic.

A player then posts a screenshot of their particular ‘official’ response believing it to be the ultimate truth and so the debates go on. What we’re left with unfortunately is a collection of competing official responses and the many unofficial testimonials to go with them.

I wrote about this – and included links to several different GM response screenshots – in my bloodsail exalted guide which you can take at if you like.

Psychi and Vaughn the Insane – Well done guys!

Well well well! Just had to post to congratulate two new members of the [Insane in the Membrane] club. They are [Psychi] from the Blackwater Raiders realm and [Vaughn] from my very own Shadowsong realm.

Well done guys! They’ve both sent in screenshots of their swanky new titles so check them out:

Got a screenshot of your new insane title? Send it through to me and I’ll add it to my Insane in the Membrane hall of fame!

Insane in the Membrane – Progress Update

With five days left until the next Darkmoon Faire arrives my reputations are shaping up:

Current Reputations

I have just 21,000 reputation left to grind to get exalted with the Darkmoon Faire and complete the achievement, not too bad! Fortunately I’ve been buying, building and collecting cards over the last month so I’ve built up a decent stock. The best thing about buying cards and decks over a larger period of time is that it doesnt ‘feel’ like its actually cost me that much at all.

I’ve been buying up all the cheap single cards and sending them to a bank alt, then I arrange them in different tabs from left to right in card order (Ace -> 8 ) so while I’m checking the auction house with Saate I can quickly open my Bank Items mod and easily see what cards I need to buy – here’s my single cards setup:

Single Cards

…and here’s the collection of decks I have, 13 of those are chaos decks which disenchant into an [Abyss Crystal] (woohoo!) which means I get back about 90g per deck on those ones.

Counting the low level inscription decks I’ve yet to turn in, and the decks I acquired today, I’m about 15 decks short of my goal. So close! I’m pretty confident that I’ll be able to get the decks in time, and I’ve got the gold to buy them, so another few days and I’ll be there – pretty exciting eh?
