Re: aimer : like, love 🏃

A quite unexpected meaning of "aimant " (or rather not(?)):
Un aimant = a magnet

One example from Duolingo DE-FR:
le sac à main se ferme par un aimant

You see/get your rewards exactly on the device there where you "produced" them.

Re: faner : to wilt, fade 🏃

In French you have (like in German) "fade" as an adjective Les herbes étaient probablement déjà fanées. La nourriture a maintenant un goût fade The herbs were probably already faded. The food now has a bland flavour Die Kräuter waren wohl schon verwelkt. Das Essen schmeckt nun fade

It is not that impossible. 80 XP can be made in between a minute and a quarter or a half. Once I got caught in a duel I made 8000 points in a day.

As far as I remember I never did 8000 XP in a week.
I already had about 1000 XP in an hour but I wouldn't want to do that often.
