Tonight I finally reached my long time goal of GrandMastering all 7 tradeskills and even did it with odds stacked against me.
As far as I can tell, I am the:
1st SK serverwide
2nd Iksar serverwide
2nd on Veeshan
1st to do so before level 60......which I will probably hit tomorrow.
I can not even begin to thank everyone who helped me along the way because there were so many people. I will try to think of all the ways that I was helped, although I will probably miss many as well.
Donated Supplies - Seemed endless and in so many different areas too.
Donated Time - Foraging for stuff I could use rather then XPing, etc. As well as doing farming for me and adding to the donated supplies.
Picky Hunts - Grouping with me in places that others had no interest in and didn't give as much XP as other places we could have been simply because I could use tradeskill drops from there.
- I once needed a big infusion of acrylia and 3 groups showed up to slaughter the grimlings.
Stepping Back - Donating supplies that are no use to you is very nice, but a few guildies even donated some things that they could have used themselves in order to help me advance sooner.
Taking stuff off my hands
- All those requests that challenged me or had me making stuff all gave me more opportunities for skill ups.
edits:Castings - Countless Imbues, enchanting, and Mana Vial summoning by those able to do it.
Providing Other Skills - Sometimes I needed things tinkered or research done & it never took long getting voulenteers.
I know there are more, but I am very tired now. I'm sure I will sleep very well tonight
And remember, my skills are always available to the guild as well as any advice for those that are looking to advance any or all skills.
