Doubleagent (Neutral Pandaren), to hit 80 tomorrow

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/mannoroth/Doubleagent/simple

Started leveling this guy back in September 2012 off and on, the first few months I didn't really do much with him, I began to focus on him more when I was running out of things I could do by myself in Pandaria on my main. Most of the leveling has been quests and herbalism, despite it giving very little experience at my current level I do continue to pick herbs.

For people not familiar. I level without leaving the Wandering Isle and use any means available in game to do so. Heirlooms are not available yet since there is no mailbox, come Warlords of Draenor... maybe when there is a heirloom tab.

I have herbalism and inscription. I mill my herbs and turn them into Moonglow ink and vendor them for 1 gold a stack. However, I recently found out there there is a way to get Mageroyal on the isle (it is about a 3% herbalism chance from herbing the corpses of Thornbranch Scamps) to make Midnight ink which is used to make a few minor glyphs... at least the ones available from Minor Inscription Research. Inscription cannot be leveled (like all professions) past 75 on the isle. Which severely limits any crafting one can do. While the glyphs I'll be able to make are only minor, it's better than nothing. This gives me a reason to have inscription now besides just making extra gold.

If mount training is ever made purchasable without visiting a trainer I'll be good to go. For those that wonder Scroll of Recall will not teleport you to a random place on the isle after level 40 (it keeps you in the same place and doesn't port you) Monk's cannot use Zen Pilgrimage to get off the isle either. RAF summoning won't work since you can't summon opposing factions, any party that you are a part of breaks once one of you chooses a faction, so it also means no summoning off the isle.

I should be able to easily hit level 80 on Sunday (heck I could probably do it today if I wasn't also farming mageroyal and trying to get a winter hat). I'm estimating about 6 months to go from 80 to 90. So as long as the new expansion isn't out before June, I have a decent chance of hitting the current level cap before it goes up to 100 (at which point I will keep going to the next cap).

If anyone wants to be in the group when I record my level 80 level-up just join the openraid, but you need to have a level 10 neutral to do so since that is what is needed to be in a raid group. Would be funny to see a large number of neutrals running around together. Ideally I'm taking up to 20 people from each faction, but if one side doesn't have enough sign-ups (Alliance currently has none) I will fill from the other side. I will probably have openrad events for 85, 90, and 100 as well.

Edit: https://twitter.com/NeutralAgent - Just made a new twitter account, still don't know entirely how to use it.

    Yeah, back then you wouldn't get mounts until 40(?) and they were pricy for training and mounts.

    Don't happen to know if the Winter Hat has a chance to drop off humanoid mobs on the Wandering Isle as well. Haven't seen either one, but have gotten some uncommon pattern drops so far. I need a head piece to keep my head warm in the Winter season.

    Don't know off the top of my head, sorry

    I probably would have given up a long time ago had a friend not told me it wasn't possible that I would reach some kind of neutral level cap. :P

    Hehe I know the feeling. Decided to level a character to 60 in classic without questing, just grinding. Got sick to death of it around 40 or so but felt like I had to finish it.

    Not since around level 56 or so, was the last time they contacted me about it. It was deemed that It wasn't being harmful by me being confined to the starting zone or some such.

    I know a few of us are keeping tabs on your progress :P it's entirely out of morbid curiosity though.
