Are you gaining in a skill that will raise your Dex?

 

[Thunderz]

No am all skilled up, set dex to down and int up but forgot about it and now its gone up to much so trying to make int go down and dex up, do i need to be training something then?

Are you at the 700 mark?

In one sense it doesnt matter

Pick up a fencing weapon and head to a dummy. You should see Dex raise and as long as Int is down it will come from there IF you have already allocated your points.

If your at the 700 mark, dont really raise Fencing over 25 or so just turn it down and let me think of another Dex centric Skill. Maybe archery? It has been a long while since I was concerned over Dex. But some one should be able to list a good Dex Skill other than Fencing. Just run one up to 25 while running the other one down. Then switch them. Wrestling may be a STR+DEX and I assume you have your STR locked so you could alternate between those two skills.

You don't have to actually gain in a skill, you just have to have a chance to gain.

I have the list of skills and which stats can be raised by each one, but unfortunately I'm at work and the list is at home.

If no one sends you a link or posts it by the time I get home, I will get the complete list for you.

If I remember correctly the easiest way to raise Dex is to work musicianship. Just get an instrument and play it over and over.

trick is must have skill marked up that you are useing if fighter just hunt an hr or so with dex up int down and a your weapon skill up.

But you have a Significantly higher probability of a stat increase (oh what 100 or 1000 to 1) in that first 25 skill points than if you just go bang on Earth Elementals or if You can stand the Heat Ogre Lords.

It is why it is so very easy to raise str by just doing Mining to 25, turn it down do LJacking to 25, turn it down and repeat for maybe a half hour for str from 10 to 125.

Not going to repeat that open list of stats/skills

BUT unless it has changed and I have seen no reason to believe it has, most of those skills are weighted for one stat over another.

I had plumb forgot about Musicianship/disco for dex and Fencing. Musicianship - Fencing is probably how I would go.

Tinkering and Lockpicking are also excellent alternatives.

The above 4 are Dex Weighted (as Spirit Speak, meditation, magery are INT weighted)
