I decided a while back to see if I could do this, and a year and a half later I have!!
Diamond artisan medal without having to frag even 1000 items!
I would like to say this has only been possible due to my awesome guildmate WeeRapll doing all the heavy lifting with composing guild pots, allowing me to coast along and survive on frag global activity to keep replenishing my commons frags.
Thanks Wee - you are a star!
I just hit level 32 composing, by the way. I keep promising to start helping with the guild pots.... once I hit level 35 and maxed AM I'll be able to do guild levelling pots with AL/AM/CON/LIB maxed out. I won't have much excuse then!!
What levels were other folk when they got the diamond artisan I wonder?
