UO Second Age

I've had to decay arms lore because I'm at the skill cap, but I'm wondering as I gained in it I gained strength. Can I start gaining in it again and while I gain more strength, or is only the first time you gain in it you gain strength, or say Intelligence for Eval Int.

As long as you can gain skill you can gain stats. However, you are more likely to gain stats within the first 10 points (show real) of a skill. Hence the reason max out skills to 700 and gain two skills in a seesaw fashion. For example... Max skills at 700 show real, then let one skill drop down while you gain 10 points in herding. Lock all skills, but allow herding to drop... then gain 10 points in something else. Arms Lore in your case.

you don't need to be able to gain a skill point to gain a stat point and your best bet is being skilled capped and using a skill at 0.0

herding (a action) for str and int use it for ten seconds in your macro then do 1 Spirtspeek for extra chance at int gains if you need them
snooping is a action can use it for dex

lelouche is right, use herding better, no 10 second delay between uses.
