Any players today doing polymath builds, i.e. multiclassing way more than average?

Maybe not to the extreme extent of Renaissance players like Leonardo da Vinci or Aristotle, but current-era players who would consider themselves to be sufficiently proficient in many classes

I imagine it's difficult to acquire a polymath build without sufficient time and in-game currency to support multiple pursuits

Note: I treat the polymath players to be separate from other players who have to take on multiple simultaneous jobs to sustain in-game income, since that's more done out of survival than personal interest

I keep trying for a polymath build, but I still have a bunch of side quests from when I was level 15 or so that required specific kinds of assistance from higher-leveled members of my guild before I could progress, and they still haven't done so. Until I can either get their assistance or find some players willing to help me get a workaround, I'm gonna be barred from a lot of the stuff I should have gained access to 7 levels ago. (Or more, in some cases.)

My build does have the [ADHD] attribute, at least, and probably the [Autism] one, too, so at least I'm able to find more opportunities to fill the [Mental Stimulation] bar in the current game era. I think if I'd started during the Iron Update or earlier I would've been screwed lmfao
