Pretty simple bug. While duoing Shardwurms the other night, we found that, if you sit or stand in the small river/stream that flows from the Thurgadin waterfall south through the zone, and through the Shardwurm caves, you get swimming skillups, even though you're not actually swimming. I would run through it while pulling mobs and I would get swimming skillups. I think Summanus got swimming skill ups just by sitting in it and meditating. Seems like an unintentional benefit of a very shallow stream.

Technically speaking: Working as intended.

its because the sea-level or w/e the hell its called is not set correctly here in any zone. its why when you lev you are half way in the water or some shit. if you run along the water you can get skill ups too. its also why its harder to get out of the water onto ledges than it was on live.

i know i did a terrible job explaining that haha. oh well :)
