To illustrate, while training magery, I had STR set to raise, with dex down and int locked. By training magery, I raised my str and took from dex.

If you are not at max stats, then lock out the one(s) you do not want to raise.

Ahhhhhh I did not realize that at SKILL cap I could still raise STATS. Whew - I won't worry so much about my skills capping then!

Yeah everytime we've had to juggle stats, we just use arms lore every 15 minutes. We don't gain in arms lore because we're at the skill cap.

I've wanted to make a tamer for a while now too, but just don't have the patience for it.

I think there is some confusion going on here.

Ben you really don't have to GAIN in a skill to change stats. All you have to do is pass the skill gain check.

If I'm not mistaken, the Advanced Character option is close to what could be a good tamer with jewels, which would skip a lot of the monotony

(Listen to me, like I know anything about taming!! I know how to start a premade tamer! LOL). I am ALL about Adv Chars

I've done my time!! Now I just want to have fun!!

OK maybe to clear some confusion...

Passing the skill gain check is the same as saying.... I WOULD (edit: COULD) have gained in the skill if I had room in my skill cap, but since I don't, I won't gain in skill but I'll still benefit from the skill gain check with the potential for a simultaneous stat gain.

So here's how I'm understanding this:

- Passing the skill gain check gives me the chance to gain ANY stat (so, it would be random if I had all stats set to raise and had room in my stat cap).

- The stat gain check is NOT dependent on what skill I was using when the stat gain check occurred.

- Stats can raise even when skills are capped even if I cannot gain in skill.

Is there any documentation on all this anywhere? Stratics appears outdated and I'm not coming up with anything that seems recent.

Mostly from experience. And everything you said is correct (I'd change the word "WOULD" with "COULD" in your explanation though)

The only thing I am not 100% sure on is if you have to have a skill attempted to use marked up (not locked or down) to gain in a stat.

**bendavho** · 3rd April 2007, 03:50 PM

It just never worked for me, I had to actually gain in a skill to gain a stat, but that is just my experience and I am still experiencing it since I need 15 more stat points.

When I get back on I will lock all skills but put my fencing skill up even though I am at 120 I should still be able to gain a stat, if I am understanding what you guys are saying.
