In the gaming forums, a popular saying once circulated:
Everyday life of a regular player: painstakingly completing tasks one through four to obtain the next level magic potion recipe; then staying up late and grinding through instances five through eight, collecting the corresponding spiritual materials to concoct a magic potion, and finally bathing, burning incense, and praying not to lose control before consuming the potion and leveling up.
Everyday life of a money-spending big shot: using cash to buy a bottle of magic potion and leveling up after consumption.
In fact, leveraging Aske's advantage as a prophet, direct access to readymade magic potions through certain tasks and instances significantly shortened the leveling time for everyone in the squad.
