Hardest thing: Attend hundreds of raids, stack that DKP, work towards a glorious item that you've pixel lusted after for, place your winning DKP bid, win the item, loot the item, delete the item immediately.

I am actually trying to do this one for Tuluven. I'm nearly there, but some of the languages just don't want to raise. It will say my "understanding of X language has improved" or something like that, but the value will not raise in the skills tab. The wiki says to zone after skill ups, but it also makes it sound like that's only necessary when both the language learner and the teacher are at skill level 1.

Anyone have tips for this?
