Gaining skill You will gain more skill on a
different server with less users of that same skill. For
example, if you are in Minoc's blacksmith and you are attempting
to gain smithing skill while everyone else is, you will hardly
get any. For quicker skill gain, go into a dungeon.
Raise tinkering and
mining Obtain a boat and two shovels and a tinkering kit. Then go
to the northern part of the world where the water meets mountain
and start mining. You have the shovels to obtain ore and a
player's house close by who has a forge so you can smelt them
and tinker more shovels.
Creating a
character A safe character is easy to
make. The character below is good for money, fighting, and
buying items. Since you only can have so much skills and stats,
try this:
Skills:
Blacksmith
Mining
Swords/Fencing/Macing (no archery)
Tactics
Parry
Healing
Anatomy
100 STR
100 DEX
25 INT
Begin at Minoc, which is
good for ores and Vesper is a good place of trade, and for when
you become a GM Smith. Start in Trammel. A pack horse is a wise
investment. You should have a Fisher who can grab you plenty of
food, which is important for your skill gains. With all the
money, buy some more shovels/pick axes and then start a mage.
Increased stats When you are on a shard that
will allow you to bring up your stats, drink plentyof beer until
your stats are 1-1-1, or at least under 3. Then fight something
like a dummy or a headless and your stats will raise up. Keep
doing this until you cannot buy anymore beer.
