The Loremaster is a meta-achievement that rewards the player with a title and tabard after they have completed a high number of quests in each continent of the game. Daily quests do not count toward this achievement; some other repeatable quests only count the first time they're completed.
The title obtained from this achievement precedes the character's name, in the following format:
- Loremaster <name>

Letters from the leaders
The [Loremaster's Colors] — the other reward from this achievement — comes in the mail attached to a letter. Alliance characters receive a letter from Tyrande Whisperwind.
Your accomplishments have been profound and far-reaching. Azeroth, with all of the recent turmoil, benefits greatly from those who seek to rid the land of evil.
Only those who take the time to know our lands understand the sacrifices of the fallen and the valor of our heroes. You are one such hero. Hopefully, you will recount the tales of your adventures for years to come.
On behalf of the Alliance, I thank you, Loremaster.
--Tyrande Whisperwind
Horde characters receive the following letter from Baine Bloodhoof. Prior to the Cataclysm, this letter was sent by Cairne instead, and still retains his signature.
News of your accomplishments has traveled far.
The winds of turmoil howl through our lands.
Those who stand to challenge evil are our only hope.
Only those who listen to the winds understand the debts our fallen heroes have paid to protect our people.
May a hero such as yourself live long to tell the tales of your adventures.
For only then will we remember just how much we have to be thankful for.
Our appreciation runs deep, Loremaster.
For the Horde!

The Numbers
The numbers for Alliance and Horde are different in all respects. In order to complete the achievements, the player must complete a set number of quests in each zone. Before Cataclysm, in the pre-expansion areas (Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms), players had to complete a total number of quests across the entire continent, regardless of zone.
With the addition of the quests from 80 to 85, the title "the Seeker" (obtained from 3000 Quests Completed) can be obtained before completing the Loremaster, as each faction now has over 3,000 quests to complete.

Loremaster in Cataclysm
With the changes brought by the Shattering the Loremaster meta-achievement also changed. New achievement – 
[Loremaster of Cataclysm] was added, and both 
[Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms] and 
[Loremaster of Kalimdor] changed to meta-achievements similar to those from Outland and Northrend, and contain specific zone loremasters quests.[1]
Those who achieved Loremaster prior to Cataclysm retain the achievement and all that comes with it without having to fulfill the new requirements. Also, if the quests in a particular zone were not reset with the expansion (especially in Outland and Northrend) then the character automatically gained the achievement for that zone if he/she had already fulfilled the requirements for it. Otherwise, the new zone achievements are available to pre-Cataclysm Loremasters to do if they wish.
Tips and Tricks
 |
This article or section contains information that is out-of-date.

- When doing the Old world parts, pick a starting zone, such as Elwynn Forest or Durotar, and go to the starting area (e.g. Northshire Abbey) and start doing quests. Don't jump from area to area at random. Sometimes, there are long running quest chains that start in the lowest areas that go through several zones; follow these through to completion.
- With Cataclysm, questlines rarely take you to separate continents, but many zones still have breadcrumb quests that take you to adjacent zones. This can be helpful, as they usually take you to the starting quest hub within the zone.
- Repeatable or daily quests in general can be assumed not to count towards any Loremaster though there are a few exceptions. If they do at all, it is likely that only the first completion (which is sometimes technically a separate quest and not repeatable or daily, as in the case of Not a Bug) will count. They will on occasion count towards The Seeker.
- Try to find all of the quests for a particular dungeon before doing it.
- Since patch 3.3.0 addons can acquire a list of all quests that a player has already completed. This helps a lot to identify missing quests for a zone (especially in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor). One of those addons that make use of this new API is EveryQuest.
- Use the addon EveryQuest together with LoreMaster and possibly EveryQuest-Questgivers for a most efficient way to achieve the Loremaster achievement.
- Additionally, WoWhead.com offers players similar functionality if one uploads a character profile to the website.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Loremaster of Cataclysm added to the requirements. Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor both changed to metas, similar to Northrend and Outland.
Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
