How to gain Wisdom ?

[EliteForceQc]

My imp have 85 WIS

Im at day 55 .. at this point my caracter have learn 0 wisdom, still at 85 ... but kalyna already have learn 4 wisdom on the field.

I know for a fact when you discover Meds plant and Salvage part around the map it increase wisdom a little for the merc who pass the roll check (discovers, not looting). There is another way?

may be there is a book.

If there is a book for wisdom, is a really rare book. Cant rely on this in the long run.

That's all I've ever seen, because finding stuff in an area is the only way I think you actively use Wisdom.

So this is just a guess. But as wisdom is important for a "student". Maybe just simply allowing someone to teach you something will increase wisdom after a certain amount of time. Maybe Wisdom simply increases as other skills does?

In JA2:
Wisdom is one the least "trainable" attributes a merc has. It can be increased slowly by training militia and successfully doing work with explosives, such as setting and disarming bombs and bandaging patients in the field.

In JA:
You can increase wisdom, agility and dexterity by killing snakes in the water for many times. The best way is to save every time, when the snake puts the merc under water. In most ways the merc uses the knife. If not, load the last save. In the best way, you increase wisdom more than 5 points.

My caracter have participated in every Trainning session (maybe 8 total). Kalyna never participated (she only have 3 session for her Dex at the start). So be a student didnt make for it.

And be a teacher increase Leadership

Yes I know that being a teacher increases Leadership. If discovering something is the only way to increase Wisdom (after lvl 91) then I don't think we can max every character in wisdom.

Book vendors in Flea town, church and market, restock. Don't know how often.

Grilled Bears survival guide. One of 8? books that show up on book vendors.

Not sure of any action that levels it up. Not teaching.

it definitely goes up as you discover hidden items. make sure the character you want to gain wisdom is ahead of the rest of your pack when searching a map for the first time.

This is good to know. That said, it's not something you can practically raise on more than one character

[Ichthyic]

it's a big world, with lots of map sections to explore. I've gained about 20 points of wisdom, total, just running around the map, and I'm only halfway done.

[Cylian]

Discovering things increases wisdom.
So spotting herbs, traps, loot etc.

It's still very slow to increase. An IMP with 85 starting wisdom ended the campaign with about 93 wisdom, with being the only char on the map for 90% of the time.

[Ichthyic]

the higher your starting score, the slower it will increase. it is not linear, it is parabolic. there are diminishing returns.
