If you've gotten this far, congrats. You completed this pain in the ass achievement. As this comment is very long and took me at least 6 hours to write, I may of made mistakes. Please shoot me a message on Twitter or on Discord (buuloki) if any of these values are incorrect. Or @ me in the Wowhead Feedback channel.

5 Achievement Points for this is quite ridiculous.
