Stat gain
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2014 3:36 pm
So after reading the wiki about stat gain and other posts I was able to get my stats to 225 very quickly. This is faster if you have enough gold, but is doable with just the 100g you start with.
Step 1: Set ALL skills to ^
Step 2: Buy or macro misc skills until your real skill total has reached 700. Keep the skills in the list below as close to 0.0 as possible. You can set them to decline while buying macro'ing if they are not 0.0 already.
Step 3: Lock all skills
Step 4: Set the skills you have chosen to use for stat gain to increase ^ (see list below for best skills)
Step 5: Find 6 to 10 other skills that are easy to buy or macro again later and set them to decrease
Step 6: Macro the good skills until stat gain has slowed to a crawl or capped. Remember to lock your stats as they reach the level you want.
Step 7: If you are not max stats, then lock your stat gain skills. Choose the ones that you will continue macro'ing for stats and set them to decrease. Ex. if INT is not maxed yet, set herding and spirit speak to decrease.
Step 8: Go buy or macro the skills you set to decrease in step 5. Buy or macro until step 7 skills are back to 0.0.
Step 9: Repeat steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 until stats are maxed the way you want them.
1. STR: Camping/Herding/Mining
2. DEX: Snooping/Musicianship/Camping
3. INT: Herding/Camping/Spirit Speak
I heard there was a cap on the amount of skill points you could get from training with NPCs, but I did not reach that cap, if it exists. It cost me about 6500g to train skills to 700 and I had already macro'd camping, cooking, herding, and spirit speak to 50-90. I think my real skill was about 460 when I started.
I hope this is useful. I will try a scratch toon after I get more gold.
Edit: Thought about it after I posted this, but you can start macro'ing from the stat increase skills until gain is really slow, then work through steps 1-9 above. Then you will be closer to the skill cap. Herding will cost 24g I think for a crook, and SS is free. Assuming you want 100s/25d/100i. You could swap SS for musicianship or snooping if you want high dex.
