LOL
I spent way more than 400pp to get 200. I am still in large debt to several
people for supporting my tinkering.
There are several people who are at 200 now. Of those people, only two spent
less than 5000pp to get to 200 and neither are gnome wizards.
An interesting note: of the people who are at 200, only one still sells
tinkering items in the game.
