Hello,
is there a way to to raise stats on this server more efficiently ?
My statgain is very slow and the common "seesaw" isn't working because maxing every skill to do the seesaw method would take almost forever =)
So maybe someone knows of a good method to raise stats here ?
thanks

15 minute cap on stat gains, same as OSI I think. As far as changing it I don't have any authority so I'll let staff answer that.

Unfortunately this will stay slow. We already have skillballs, quite fast skill gain, unlimited skills.... the only thing left from making us uber instant shard is the fast stat gain. This shard wasn't supposed to be too instant.

Sounds plausible, i was just curious if there is any method similar to seesaw.

I have mentioned this before and this looks like a good time to bring it up again. For those who want to raise their stats as quickly as possible, I would suggest always carrying around kindling wood. Yes, I said kindling wood. If you stop every 15 minutes or so, no matter what you are doing, stop and try to make campfires until you get a stat gain. You can gain all 3 stats this method or lock the ones you want and concentrte on the one you feel is most important. By starting at 0.0 skill in camping you will fail often and not consume your kindling. But you will gain a stat in short order. I found this very useful to raise stats when I wasn't chopping wood, mining for ore, fighting monsters or the other skills we train on to raise them. I got raises when I was shooting the breeze with someone or just exploring the shard. ( training can be boring ) Take this suggestion for what you think its worth.
As a side note, for those who want quick stat and skill gains, I give you this. My experience has shown tht those who rech the pinnacle quickly also get bored quickly and lose their interest quickly. Take your time and enjoy this game and this shard as it is. I personally am going to regret the day here that I have seen it all and can do it all. Because then, I know the end would be near.

As for the bit about seeing it all, and doing it all..... Well I'm sure there will always be new things to discover no matter what! So I look forward to seeing you here for many, many years to come
