first off i want to say hi as this is my first post here.
okay, now on to my question. is it a bad thing to level-up my
attributes too fast? i know it's always been said to be better if
you can get x5 multipliers by the time you level-up to get the most
out of levelling up. well, i've been able to do so most of the time,
except of course for luck which im also increasing.
the thing is, now im at about only level 25 and already my
attributes are almost all on their way to 100. they'd probably all
be at 100 (except for luck) before i even get to level 40 if i keep
up my getting x5 multipliers all the time. what happens then? can i
no longer level up because my attributes have reached their limit
even if my major and minor skills still level-up? and what happens
with my luck attribute if it still isnt at 100 while every other
attribute is already at 100? i mean, you get to level up three
attributes at every level-up but what will happen when i only have
luck left to level-up and so i only use 1 counter? normally, you
cant level up while you havent used all three counters, so what
happens then?
and in exchange for anyone's help in this i offer my method of how i
managed a x5 multiplier pretty much all the time. i dont know if
this is old news already or what but i have yet to see it mentioned
by anyone so here goes.
dont underestimate misc skills. train them up MANUALLY and they will
contribute to the multiplier. for example, i had spear as a misc skill
which contributes to endurance and so i needed to raise it by ten
levels and thus i get a x5 for endurance. meanwhile i have long blade
as a major skill which i also raise by ten levels and so i am ready to
level up with x5 to endurance and strength. and you can do the same
thing to another misc skill beforehand to get another x5 in another
attribute but i suggest using it on luck instead since it will
definitely get left behind what with the fast increase of all the
other attributes.
that is just one example, you can use many other combinations to get
this effect such as 3 points of acrobatics and 7 points of hand to
hand, both misc then 7 points of strength and 3 points of short blade,
both major/minor skill so it would be time to level up but still
notice that the actual total from both misc and major/minor points
would be 10 for strength and 10 for speed which computes to x5 to both
attributes when you do leve-up.
of course the downside to this is that it can take quite a long time
to raise the misc skill concerned by ten levels once they're pretty
high already. which is why i also suggest that you keep more than
one skill for the same attribute as a misc skill, such as having
both spear and medium or heavy armor as misc so when it gets too
tiring to level up one you can switch to leveling up the other.
eventually however you will just have to be patient once you reach
higher level swith your skills since it always has to be, i repeat,
manually raised unlike major and minor skills which contribute even
if you just train them.
