No STR and DEX gains
No STR and DEX gains
I have been working on a Bard character and it seems that STR and DEX have not gained in over a month, though they are not maxed out and I am using Swordsmanship skill all the time. Anyone else noticing anything like this?

Macro herding for an hour or so, then macro snooping for an hour or so.
YOu should max both STATS out quickly.

You really want to see-saw. If you need to, buy your way up to the 700 skill cap (go to NPCs in town and say "train" or "train me"...I forget which...they will tell you what they can train and then you just say "train <skill>").
Once you are at the 700 skill cap: pick two skills that are near zero (obviously choose skills that build str or dex). Temporarily lock all your skills except those two. Of those two, point one up, and one down. Work on the one you have pointed up. I used herding and mining...arms lore gives you str too. As you work herding from 0 - 10 pts (which will happen a few minutes), you will gain anywhere from 0 to 4 stat points. Once the skill gets to 10pts it slows down. Now is when you point that skill down, the other skill up, and start on the other skill. As the other skill works from 0 - 10 pts (during which you will again gain anywhere from 0 to 4 stat points), the first skill will be forced down to 0. Start the cycle over. In an hour (maybe 2) you can work any character to 100/100/25.

I think it would be worth adding to riant's post that before you see-saw your chosen "stat-gain" skills between 0 and 10 you will need to set one of the skills in which you trained (preferably one you don't plan to raise) to down first since you are at the 700 skill cap. Maybe this is all too obvioius but I thought worth mentioning

Re: No STR and DEX gains
Also camping rocks for gains. It also has a delay timer equal to that of herding. Doing both of these interchangeably will give you fast gains.
Or you could do what I do. 700 skill cap. Lock all skills, except herding - have the arrow facing up value at 0.0 show real. and go to a farm or wherever an animal is penned and macro your skill herding.
STR gains fastest, followed by DEX, and then of course, INT.
Your stats will max in a couple of hours tops.
