Leveling up willpower?
« on: January 04, 2014, 06:43:40 am »

my adventurer has been leveling up willpower and I'm not sure why,it's been leveling up since I started training my armor/shield skill against a pack of vultures,also I have been doing a lot of over-exertation if that has anything to do with it (5 vultures attacking at once)

I've always heard that taking blows raises willpower.

In the newest version, vampires deny being vampires. Try face-stabbing instead.

You want loads of small wounds so you can resist the pai.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Yeah. No pai, no gai.

Once your adventurer is strong enough to fight boogey men, you can level up everything to insane levels, as they are aggressive and come in packs.
Also fighting Giant Sponges is awesome training, as their push attacks can't really hurt you, plus your attributes raise more from swimming/ fighting in water.

Find a tree bordering at the edge of a warm lake, go for a swim in the lake, turn on Sneaking, angle up for going straight into that tree in some direction (optimally with another tree blocking the way out of the lake at the very same angle) - and hold down the movement key that would send you into the direction of the tree, along with the opposite direction's key; wait for a couple of minutes and you're done!

You could try drowning. I know it levels up endurance, perhaps it levels up willpower too? (Just swim back and fourth under a bridge)
