Is Strength worth leveling?

[Osamaru]

So I just spent 15 mins walking a trade route with a pack to try and level the strength. But it only gave about 1/10 of a bar. I could have done the same route in 2 mins with a donkey, so is the stat even worth leveling?

Its not worth leveling actively. People do it afk on auto-loop.

Strength increases your carrying capacity by a bit each level. Autolooping in town while afk is how most people do it (you will see many people going back and forth with backpacks).

If you don't want to spend money and want to get as much carrying capacity as possible, you definitely want to get your strength to 30. But it is a slow process and not well designed (ie, there is no "natural" way to do it, as opposed to Health and Breath, which you level as you play normally)
