Dex and Strength Gain

[bmohr225]

Anyone have any good ways to raise strength and dexterity quickly? I've already GMed hiding and musicianship and my dex is only at 24. What to do?!

Stat gains here are capped at 15 minutes per (minimum), I'd say the easiest way of raising STR and DEX are by Wrestling in the Training Room while you sleep or go afk for long periods.

Be sure to take off your armor before you do so - you won't be damaged in the Training Room, but your gear will.

Okay but wrestling a dummy will only get you to 25 wrestling...

[BlaZe]

Not dummies, the red guys in the Training Room (under Custom on the teleporter menu). You can only get to 75 skill in there but that doesn't matter, you'll still get stat gains.

So even if I stop gaining skill points in the training room i'll keep gaining stat points? Is that what you're saying?

[BlaZe]

Yup, exactly.

The stat gains come only when a skill gets a gain - so the higher a skill is (and with slower gains), the longer it will take to get that +stat. The training room is actually doing a favor by capping off at 75. ^^

I'm sorry, i'm afraid I don't understand. How is the training room doing me a favor if i'm trying to gain stats, but the only way I gain a stat is if I get a skill gain, which the training room "caps off" at 75?

I'm confused!

[BlaZe]

Even though you don't gain the skill, its 'gain check' goes off and results in a stat increase.

I should have made that clear, sorry.

Oh okay. That makes much more sense. Thanks for all your help/patience dude.
