Thanks. I'll give those a go next time I login.

I do that, but I am only doing WQ that I have a met quest for, I haven't
been doing any extras.

Ah, appearances. I've only unlocked the guild hall ones

Yep. I like it overall.

I'm holding off on alts until 7.1.5 or 7.2. I think it's 7.2 that
enables the catch-up mechanism.

Footnote on the High Energy Magic building: It was here that the thaum,
hitherto believed to be the smallest possible particle of magic, was
successfully demonstrated to be made up of resons (lit: 'Thing-ies) or
reality fragments. Currently research indicates that each reson is
itself made up of a combination of at least five 'flavours', known as
'up', 'down', 'sideways', 'sex appeal' and 'peppermint'.
