Trying to level up in Skalitz

[Drunk Rambo {The Dirty Dozen}]

How do you do this without the constant sleep issue?
I’m playing on hardcore and leveled up somewhat on the combat with the swordsman, herbalism, vitality etc.
I didn’t go too long as my sleep kicked in and I was barely awake. I quit trying to level up as I didn’t know if I die not sleeping???

Anyway, just my attempts got me through escaping the Cumans pretty easily.

I also couldn’t find the lock picks and I didn’t harm any townspeople. I’m playing as a very good person this hardcore round.

You get lockpicks from Fritz for Kunesh.
Never had a problem with sleep. Just save and load the game and its back up.

Sounds like your game glitched...

Sleep should have been suspended all the way till Rattay. With a single scripted occurance of the blinking eyes and yawning happening in the next town for more story. The next day the needs and the day cycle go to normal, until you leave town and then the game disables both sleep and the day cycle, but hunger and the need to eat remains active. Needs won't truely unlock until Rattay.

Though, many quests have a time constraint, so you should keep that in mind when Sleep Saving and bathhouse saving (the Bath-Laundry-Heal, option).

I think time stops when you train with Bernard... but your condition/health limits you from fighing him indefinetly and losing hours of time for time healing injuries. Not to mention your equipment repair cost, if you don't unequip your armor, before fighting him.

The only part of the game during which we can "grind forever" is during the Skalitz Prologue.

During the Skalitz Prologue, the time of day does not progress, so you cannot become tired from "time spent", but Henry can become hungry and i suppose it may be possible to drain your energy by consuming energy draining food.

Learn the game, maybe ? Ha ha ha,,, But i suppose that's what u'v got us for, eh ?

During the Skalitz prologue, it is possible to grind all sorts of skills..

primary Weapon skills can be improved by killing sheep using bought or stolen weapons, (from guards or chests). Bows can only be obtained by knocking out guards, which improves Stealth and Strength, btw. Using Weapons also improves related abilities, (Strength/Agility), and killing sheep improves Hunting and Vitality.

telling Kunesh that "(you'll be hearing from my father)" opens the option to get Lockpicks from Fritz - when used this will improve Lockpick and Stealth

Using lockpicks will also grant you access to all sorts of extra clothing and food choices - so definitely go the route of getting and using lockpicks in Skalitz prologue. Just be careful with ur lockpicks, since there is a very limited number

Unarmed Fighting can be trained quite aggressively in Skalitz if you choose, but that requires hurting people - although Kunesh is always available

oh the lockpicks..all are gone here. so i had to do a save in front of loosing em all. I am realy bad with lockpicks so it is closed to it does not help me to reload. sad that it is a loosing fun factor for me..the lockpicks.

Nah that's way too boring. I did it once with cow punchs, killed few people.
I enjoy ruined Skalitz more, there is always a fight. Rinse and repeat.

I somewhat agree.
Leveling up does let you escape the Cumans really easily though.

The leveling up flower picking is a total waste of time.

Taking the saddle off the stolen horse works really well also.

But you can still be unlucky and get an extra arrow or two.

By the way. 3 times played and never figured out that I can take a saddle from stolen horse. But how? It is not your horse anyway, so there is no tab for horse.
