There's a theory that this could be how the goblin drink used to pop the mysterious Goblin Wolfman is obtained. At the 10,000 mark when he reaches level 1, maybe? But still, that doesn't explain to me how people could already have the parade gorget... 10,000 is going to take awhile even if done in a private group i'm sure some random people passing by would check on the NPC and notice the count to be unusually high. This is assuming it resets back to 0 after 10,000 or whatever the cap is, if one exists.
Would be cool to find out what happens when the NPC gets a full skill level regardless if that's how to obtain parade gorget or not. Go, go people, increase your server's count!
