so tinka has her little manwhore, katusa, pushing XP her way. this is nice, but kat is in a transitional period at the moment, having just hit 20th, and is in the middle of making the move from the explorer issue gear into level 4 jewelry and olhtoi gear. after that he will be ready to continue pushing. thanks to katusa's efforts, tink has made 30th level and now has enough credits to spec lockpick. this means that she will be specialized in every tradeskill available: alchemy, cooking, flethcing, and lockpick. she has all the tinker skills as well.
taking tinka anywere is a total pain thanks to her complete lack of combat abilities of *any* kind, and since she is my only mule, she is always *seriously* overburdened. i figured that since kat is down right now while i move jewelry and stuff his way, i would have him hold some stuff for his patron while she (and her buddy hwa who will actually kill the monsters) ran thru the skill spec dungeon.
i figured that as long as she is buffed and unburdened, she could also hit some of the new tradesman quests and pickup some XP in her various skills. there are tons of the apprentices and a few of the journeymen. thanks to tinka's leet treade skills she has no item magic, so she will be running the whole way :-)
after using maggies and acmaps to plan my very circular route, the goal is to hit a few apprentices and one journeyman, without the use of item magic or portal gems.
at the end we will have visited 5 apprentices and one journeyman for each of the trade skills, for a total of 75,000xp for each skill, and to earn tradenotes equal to 135,000py.
