How to raise attributes (CON, DEX, INT)

[Daisy Dog]

Hey there! Started playing right when the English translation dropped and have been really enjoying the game. I had a few questions on how to raise certain attributes through activity.

CON - I've seen in old discussions that fighting enemies of a higher lvl than you can raise this, or cooking your own food and eating it. Are these the only ways to raise it? I'm currently lvl 50 and have trouble finding enemies my lvl.

DEX - is running around the only way to raise it? I started with 5 DEX and after playing for 40 days in game time and getting to lvl 50 it hasn't gone up at all. And I do get notifications that my DEX exp has increased by 1 every so often as I'm running around. Is there another way to raise DEX?

INT - How do I raise INT? I've answered questions correctly in scholarly situations, like in the Dragon Library, and that seems to only increase my Wisdom, not contribute to INT.

Otherwise, I figured out LUCK (statue of Hero) and Stength (doing any gathering) and have seen actual gains on those stats. Any help is appreciated!

you can get int exp from praying at shrines

Isn't that stats can't increase above 10 this way?

I can't attest to all the methods, but praying at the Hero Statue got my luck from 6 to 12 (it seemed to get incredibly hard to lvl up after that) and mining got my strength from 8 to 12.

CON - eating food. Higher grade foods gets more exp. Fighting enemies does nothing.

DEX - yes, running around only, which sucks.

INT - praying at shrines. The better incense you use the more exp. Gold ones are at auction in the jewellery place only.

The new Confucius sect has a statute to pray (daily I think) for INT.
after joining the sect you can study to increase it too.

The monk sect also increases int and fortune when you study the scriptures.

I believe there’s a formula for the exp needed to level up. It’s something like current level x 150.

Thanks for clarifying! Appreciate it.

And what I said above was incorrect - I only increased my strength to 10 using gathering, then had a Tiger Pill. I also now realize this is explained in one of the 50 tips at the bottom of the menu screen.

each stat has ways to level up
str: mining/pills / 10levels point
dex: exploring/ pills / 10 levels point
con : meditating at waterfall/ pills /10 levels points.
int: shrines/ pills / 10 level points
luck pills / 10 levels points. maybe playing at the casinos also helps.

Luck is cowtowing to Nameless Hero statue 100 times.

No, casino shouldn't help (especially since you suppose to cheat in them by clicking on dice you don't like to rerol it by using a bit of Qi).

Looked at the data while trying to mod. Luck supposedly helps when gambling to help you win. How much? No idea.
Walking 100 tiles gives 1 DEX exp. Max 10 a day
