-'''What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been''' is an [[achievement]]. If you are highly active in all of the seasonal world events — [[Lunar Festival]], [[Love is in the Air]], [[Noblegarden]], [[Children's Week]], [[Midsummer]], [[Brewfest]], [[Hallow's End]], and [[Winter Veil]] — you will gain {{cost|ach=50&nbsp;}} as well as a rare mount, [[Image:Ability Mount Drake Proto.png|15px]] {{loot|epic|Violet Proto-Drake}}. This achievement takes the longest amount of time to complete, requiring at least a year to complete all of the prerequisites.
-== A letter from Alexstrasza the Life-Binder ==
-Upon completion, players receive the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake}}, attached to a letter from [[Alexstrasza]]:
-{{book|Time and Time Again|content=With the drums of war pounding in the distance, it is easy for the denizens of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] to forget all that life has to offer.
-You, on the other hand, have maintained the dignity of the good races of Azeroth with your ability to remember what we fight for. To not celebrate our victories is another form of defeat. Remember that well, reveler.
-May others be inspired by your good cheer.
-Alexstrasza the Life-Binder

-* The earliest this achievement could be earned was 20 September 2009 (first day of 2009 Brewfest event).
-* The name of this achievement is commonly credited as a lyric from the [[wikipedia:Grateful_Dead|Grateful Dead]] song "[[wikipedia:Truckin'|Truckin']]"
-:''"Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;''
-:''Other times, I can barely see.''
-:''Lately it occurs to me ...''
-:''What a long, strange trip it's been."''
-* Blizzard has stated they don't plan to add {{achievement|Pilgrim}} to the achievement criteria. <ref>{{ref web

-* This is currently the only way to get a 310% speed mount without top-end raiding, top-end PvP or [[Ashes of Al'ar | an extremely rare drop]].
-* Earning this mount will also award [[Riding|Master Riding]] for free.
-=== Philosophy ===
-A note about [[Blizzard]]'s philosophy on holiday achievements:
-{{bluepost
- | poster = Kisirani
- | date = 2009-09-24 17:55:47
- | title = Re: Now We're Cookin'
- | body = Some holiday achievements require near maximum-level [[PvE]] content. This remains so even if people aren't inclined to reach maximum level.
-Some holiday achievements require players to go into battlegrounds. This remains so even if people aren't inclined to get honorable kills on their character.
-And, yes, some holiday achievements require skill in a [[secondary profession]], and we have no plans to change that.
-The holiday achievements are not necessary to advance your character. If you want a [[title]] or the [[mount]] reward at the very end of What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been, however, you will have to participate at least marginally in all these aspects of the game.
-The holidays are designed to allow a large breadth of the playerbase to participate in some form, and there's normally something for you to do within the holiday itself. How much you choose to participate is up to you. If you choose to pursue the achievements, then you will have to participate in all these aspects of gameplay. That is absolutely by design and not something we plan to change currently.
-That said, if leveling your [[cooking]] for [[Winter Veil]] seems like a tedious task, I suggest you wait until [[Pilgrim's Bounty]].... :)
