You don't need to bump so often. It takes hours for a thread to fall off first page.
I would personally suggest get: Hack, Slash, Mantis, Fire Rain, Meat, Wish, and two buffs to 10.0 then trying out smob.
When you join the crew immediately tell them what your two buffs are so they can take that into account. As you level more buffs, include those into what you have until you have all them.
