This is a sore subject for some of the Staff, & I truly appreciate all that they do, but it is an issue I cant keep pretending doesnt exsist, so please help.
Stat Altering, changing or gaining
Problem: Trying to change a characters stats str/dex/int.
How they Should Work:
General Info & Tips:
When crating a character, stats are gained according to which skills you use there is a table to help a person know which skills wrok which stat, for effiecncy on uoguide.com here:
http://www.uoguide.com/Stats
or you can use stratics table here:
http://uo2.stratics.com/skill-guides/stat-and-skills-general/skill-stat-management/
Using the tables, it will tell you to use say camping for example, if you want to raise Dex primarily & Int occationally.
Stats are gained aprox every 15-20 mins here on EVO doing this.
Now, if you’re a Vet & desire to alter your stats upon reaching your stat cap, you would unlock & up arrow the one stat you desire to increase & down arrow a stat you taking points from. Take off your gear to prevent from gear even remotely possibly causing a problem & skill the appropriate skill(with that skills arrow turned UP), to encourage the mechanic to work properly.
Now, we are using Camping as the example, so, I obviously desire to gain in Dex (or Int, but I suggest finding a INT primary skill, for the mechanic to work better). To gain my DEX, I would have to turn down STR, because it isn’t one of Camping’s primary or secondary Stats. Obviously, if I want to get my STR up & use my DEX points for it, I would use: Animal Taming, Bushido, Chivalry, because they are opposite Skills for this purpose.
Now then, this is all fine & good & is how it should work, I have used this technique for years (& in many many cases, it does work), BUT, I have characters it doesn’t work for, skipping the Sage/Orb issue on creation, but alts & I have yet to have this work. I have worked a few for hours, for several days at my time of need, over the course of my time here on EVO.I know of players the standard works for them, YAY! *does Happy Dance for them!* but Im not the only 1 that has this issue & I am begging for the issue to be looked at, please?*hugs*Sage
