Wow! I can’t believe this day has actually come, to when I can say the above words! 
Date 1750 Achieved: March 19, 2003 -- 23:40:58 PST
Days Played: 104 days, 8 hours, 1 minute
Alyxia’s Birthdate: November 4, 1999 -- 19:51:31 PST
Say NO to Farming! (I hate farming, and always opt for the vendor option)
Only really killed a few random mammoths for the delicious meat! YUM!
I did a lot of tradeskilling before/during Kunark, then I got too levelling-focussed, got burnt out and quit. Can anyone guess why? Yes, thaaaat’s right…the lack of tradeskilling drove me insane Some would say the opposite
Once I had the 1750 goal in sight, I hardly hunted with Alyxia, only hunting the raptors nonstop for 3 weeks to get all AAs needed to max NTCM. No raids. Tradeskilling practically every nite, only taking a break now and again when I run out of cash, to work on my secondary toon, who's level 52. After I GM'd smithing a few nights ago, my guildie almost had a heart attack when he saw me in PoN
In the list below, "Skill before Kunark" implies that I got to that level before I became levelling focussed.
1) Tailoring
Total Cost: Didn’t take notice, but every single silk swatch for solstice robes was bought from bazaar, imbued my own emeralds, my GM JC enchanter made the chains
Date GM’d: October 30, 2002
Skill before Kunark: 100
2) Baking
Total Cost: Negligible compared to Tailoring and Smithing
Date GM’d: Somewhere within the first 3 weeks after Tailoring GM’d
Skill before Kunark: 135
3) Jewelcraft
Total Cost: 12kpp
Date GM’d: During the first 3 weeks after Tailoring GM’d
Skill before Kunark: 0
4) Brewing
Total Cost: 1.5kpp for the final 2 points doing Demi Sec Champagne, the rest is inconsequential
Date GM’d: Sometime during the first 3 weeks after Tailoring GM’d
Skill before Kunark: 138
So you see a pattern? After I GM’d tailoring, I wanted to knock off the “easier” skills, before tackling the final 3.
5) Pottery
Total Cost: 80kpp
Date GM’d: March 15, 2003
Skill before Kunark: 168
6) Blacksmithing
Total Cost: 500kpp
Date GM’d: March 16, 2003
Skill before Kunark: 170
7) Fletching
Total Cost: 35kpp
Date GM’d: March 19, 2003
Skill before Kunark: 130
How did I fund all this? The gods dropped 1 mill plat on me...no, just kidding There's absolutely no way I could have done it if I had waited for my skill-up successes to fund my sessions, especially Smithing. I didn't have unlimited plat, nor guild funding to back me, but I did work hard to use my tradeskills to sell things that other people wanted. I can say that I was 100% Tradeskill funded.
