12:32 <+Volatile> Everbloom, a player on the U.S. roleplaying server Feathermoon, has reached level 85 without killing a single thing and completing only one quest. One that involves just opening an NPC's letter. How? By grinding professions. Everbloom recommends the experience, saying:
12:32 <+Volatile> "Being on the ground and sneaking around mining and herbing and eventually archaeology, going everywhere to get every single point of discovery xp that you can, really gives you a chance to see an amazing world up close and personal. I spent hours swimming around reefs and flying to the farthest reaches of the maps.
12:33 <+Volatile> sounds like a real winner.
