Extremely slow stat gain after use of +50 stat scroll

[Crozius]

Hi all,

I bought a +50 stat scroll from the ED rewards stone last night, and left my character in the training room over night wrestling one of the trainers. After 8-9 hours of wrestling, I only gained 3 strength and 2 dexterity. Does it usually go up this slow after using a + stat scroll, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks so much.

You need +stats to each stat. It could be that problem, you need to raise the cap for each individual stat with +5 scrolls for each to a max of 25 per stat.

Ahh thanks, I'll give that a try!

125 is base cap to individual stats, you can get them up to 150 with the +5 deeds.

I find stats raise better if you are actually using skills that are still going up.

An easy way to raise dex is if you still have 0 camping skill, start trying to light fires with kindling (use sharp object on tree to get). Once you get a stat gain, stop trying for another 15 or 20 min. You will gain dex easy until you get to about 25 camping, then you will light the fires too quickly.

This is very helpful. Thanks to you both! I'll give the camping thing a try - think it would work with the camping skill locked at 10?

I don't know, I never thought of that, if it does work, it would be an awesome way to gain DEX, let us know. And congrats on the +50 BTW.

As a follow up, it does not appear that having locked camping at 10 leads to any dex gains. I did it for 15-20 minutes, and didn't gain any dex.

As I recall when working my stats ... The Stat Gain was one point every 30 minutes... (for each individual stat ... ) I was training on a trainer using perry with a shield and a kriss to work both str and dex ... ... that s the quickest way i know of to do it ... Get naked ... throw on a pointless Shield and such to work what you need ...

We have a Stats guide at http://www.uoex.net/wiki/Stats_Guide that you can use to help you... Just don't wear any of your armor... before you go AFK beating on a trainer... you will come back hours later with nothing on anyway ...

Just my suggestion.

if you're working exclusively on dex doing camping is probably one of the worst ideas.
camping is good cause it raises all 3 stats.

iirc how stat gains happens is that when a stat is raised there is a 15 minute internal timer. when that timer comes up you have a chance to gain a stat again. When there is another successful stat gain the 15 minute internal timer begins again. The stat gain can be a stat that is capped or is locked. that stat gain still triggers a 15 minute internal timer. When you start getting nearer the stat cap maxing each stat seems to take longer for this reason.
Just keep hitting dummies overnight you'll get there eventually (max of 32 gains in 8 hours).

and 15-20 minutes is a really poor amount of time for any test, especially considering 15 minutes is the minimum between stat gains

if you're really impatient, an easy way is just to buy essences, they are not very expensive (they don't work though if you're at the cap though), well they weren't expensive back in the day at least

Thank you all for your useful feedback. I am now nearing the 150/150/50 cap! Yay!

Older thread, but if I'm not mistaken I was told by a staff member that you will only gain a stat when you would gain a skill point, and the 15 minute timer applies. I had staff lower a skill so I could train stats faster and it seemed to work
