The Definitive Stat Gain Guide
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2009 5:13 pm
EDIT: The reason this is the fastest way is because Herding and Mining have no delay between uses except for the standard UseItem delay. Any skill with a delay (that may gain faster) will be slower than this method due to the amount of attempts you can make from the lack of delay.
Let's face it, this is one of the pains to creating a new character. That horrible time spent gaining various skills to get your stats where you want them so you can just survive long enough to gain some real skills. Well, it's easier than you think.
I have found THE fastest way to gain str,dex, and int.
First thing your newbie character should do is get some gold. Either sheer some sheep and sell the whool or ask a fellow player to help you out with about 3000gp. Once you have the goods find every type of NPC around you and say "<npc'sname> teach" so they give you a list of things. Then say "<npc'sname> teach <skill>", skill obviously being a skill they said they could teach you. Go around and learn everything using the gold you have until your skills are maxed out at 700. BUT, be sure not to lean Mining, Herding, snooping, or Spirit Speaking. Make sure those three are at zero.
Now make your way to delucia (optional, but a great spot for this).
Lock every skill you have and then chose one that you are not going to use but have at least 10 (real) of and set it down. Now run to the delucia armory and buy a crook and a pick axe. Go out into the field North of town. Set the herding skill up, and double click the Crook and select a sheep or other animal. Once you do this, it will ask you to chose a location, just select the same sheep. Repeat this until you have around 10 points of herding. Now lock the skill you set down and turn herding down as well. Set mining up and go mine the wall near the sheep tossing the refuse on the ground. Once mining is at 10, set it down and do herding again. repeat this until you get to the desired STR and INT, locking them as they reach your desired goal.
Once your STR and INT are in place, if you are short on DEX, (or are a dexer), start the same process except with Herding 10 points and Snooping 10 points. These are the best skills to use to gain each stat..
STR - Mining/Herding
DEX - Herding/Snooping
INT - Herding/SpiritSpeaking
Use that formula.
Always start with Str first, because INT is the slowest to gain. Mining, Herding, and Snooping have no delay. SpiritSpeaking does.
Once your at max stats, get out there and kill some somethings!
I know this works, because I just maxed 3 characters stats in about 4 hours using this method and Razor to streamline the process. I did not include the macro's because they are very simple.
