==Trivia==
* The player ''Sassyy'' was the first player to reach level 500 Guard and appear on the [[leaderboards]], on [[26 November]] [[2024]].<!-- reported to me on discord at 11:28 EST. Possible that Sassyy achieved level 500 earlier. --> This was the first level 500 in any profession.<!-- Twitch VOD https://twitch.tv/videos/2311537087 at 47:43 shows Bidoof#1 at level 498 Watchperson when Sassyy achieved 500 Guard. At 2:23:30, Bidoof#1 turns in their knowledge point for 500 Watchperson. -->
