Getting STR

Postby Twardowski » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:18 am

Hey there,
I'm curious what's the best way to increase STR. I'm thinking about making a new char-warrior or miner but yet I haven't found a way to increase strenght, and I'm pretty sure I got already all possible vegetables. Is the boar meat the only way to gain it?

Boar meat, bear meat, sausages of boar and bear and combination, CHEESE, dried morels.

For combined meat pie some fish, lots of stuff.

Steak & tubers and meat pie give both STR and CON so are great for feeding a warrior. Eat those for a while and you'll soon be able to hunt boars and even bears for STR meat to continue developing your STR.

ant soldiers, grub, chestnut, walnut, blackcurrant, dog rose, rat-on-a-stick, roasted boar, piglet wursts, dried morels, beetroot leaf, curd, cc, bbc, mbc
(if you don't have chars with much strength yet i'm guessing you don't have ready access to bears, otherwise add those to the list)

you can get enough strength for a starting miner pretty quickly with just piglet wursts and some low FEP variety foods (like berries).

There are other ways than direct confrontation for bears, you can trap them, you can get friends to help you with bows for example... Just saying you do not always need stats to kill a bear (lots of people killed their first bear the first day of the server or within the first week), even though the easiest way is to crush them with good stats, a good sword/b12 and make them feel miserable :D

to kill A bear, yes. but probably not as a constant food supply. and i'm extrapolating since he doesn't have a miner he probably doesn't have a good sword yet either.

Meatpies and steak and tubers work well.
But what does the stat given depend on? Beacause i make loads of strenght/con food and get mostly con instead of str even if the food got more str :(

Random weighted percentage. All the feps you eat get added to your current fep bar. Then you get a chance for each depending on how much of the total bar that stat has. And then you get charisma :P

Yeah the randomness is still the killer. I can eat a full FEP bar of STR food, then eat one seaberry to push it over and end up getting INT.
