good player stats to level?

[GrandTickler]

i guess Weight and Stamina are best? thinking of maybe doing half/half

[Mcwolfy]

Weight seems to be king early on since you're always farming to a certain degree for ore. I liked tossing a couple points into HP though since its 100 HP per point.

[agedwisdom]

Im roughly able to survive anything up to lvl 30 with 1100 HP and a good dodge.

I like to run/climb so stamina at ~150 is ok, I will put more but my priority is weight rn

I put a few points into atk but that didn't do much as a good Pal will outdamage you by far.

Never touched Defense, gear seems to be decent at keeping me alive

Work speed is dumb. Just have Pals do it

Weight is king after HP gets high enough to keep you alive. I'm currently lvl 19 and moving stone/wood/ore is killer even with Cattiva (pink cat thing in most starter locations)

ah sweet thanks, yeah 10% weight increase per point seems really nice. not sure if there are higher tier materials that are even heavier than stone/wood? depending on that i guess it becomes even more important later on.

will put some in hp too then

2 points in harvest speed, the rest into health.

Weight capacity is fine to have, but not a dealbreaker with 300 weight if you haul all unneeded items. +2 to attack is pitiful. Basic stamina is good enough for running and combat. Health is huge and always worth to avoid 1shots in basic armor.

i was more thinking stamina for climbing/gliding hard to reach places maybe, but i guess theres mounts that can do that too?

All hard to reach places so far could be reached with basic stamina - there are always smaller rocks to rest. The only real use stamina could potentially have is gliders, since they work only while you got stamina.

I haven't put any points into health since I'm using the shield equip which mitigates a ton, haven't died yet and finished the first faction leader/reached level 23. I've been putting most into weight/stamina myself.

Really like the weight for the heavy stuff/long explorations where you don't return to base for a while. And stamina helps my playstyle since I sprint, dodge, glide, and swim a lot and running out of stam in the middle of something is really annoying.

But whatever fits your playstyle the best!

Yes the bird you can saddle at level 19 and ride it. That is your flying mount for traversing long distance and up/dawn across water, etc.

Dodge iframes seem to be incredibly large. I wouldn't build defensively that much (early game at least).

Well then try playing on hard where level 11 pals 1shot you with basic health.

Stamina isn't super necessary. You can live without it honestly. Try running and pressing C to slide down hills. Lets you move faster. You can combine the slide into the glider to move faster on the glider. But you get a grappling hook and flying monsters. The hook lets you go out like almost half of most mountains.

You can get away with no HP on casual/normal because damage tickles but anyone playing on hard that has 4x dmg will need some health.

Atk gives so little (2% per point) although I am tempted to put 30+ points into attack to make weapons really good and try to find some pals that increase player damage (I think I have seen some passive buff some have with somewhere around 10-20% damage).
Generally I feel like once you start riding a pal you don't need to use your own attack much anymore, so feels a little pointless but still.

You only need ~600 weight to get started with a decent amount of wood/stone/pal stones and then later on you get tons of resources in base from pals. Same is true with ore although it is more bothersome to transport to main base since it weight a lot (although it is possible to fast travel with any weight so can make a mining base and just pick it up and fast travel to main base and put in a box).
Getting 1k+ weight really makes carrying stuff easy though.

Level ~30 enemies hurt quite much so health is good although the regen is so slow. The player can take damage while riding a pal so that is a good reason why health should be one of the most important stats.

OP didn't mention difficulty level, so I shared my thoughts from my experience. I enjoy playing on normal as, you know, that fits my playstyle.
Happy you're enjoying playing on hard, but it ain't for me.

Happy you're enjoying playing on normal, but weight capacity is still ♥♥♥♥ upgrade compared to health. You don't pick every single wood, rock and ore while travelling, you have slaves at base for that.
