[quote="GARROU"]Hi All, Played soma many many years and hope someone could help a returning player. I've read through some of the posts and no doubt there is something there, but is there a step by step guide on how to level stats/skills? i.e. start with bow until this amount and then switch to sword/axe to this amount. Hope this makes sense. Much appreciated.[/quote]

[quote="GARROU"]Hi Garland, Thank you for the reply. Is any weapon sufficient following the str guide ( excluding the axe to 151-171 rule)?[/quote]

[quote="GARLAND"]Yes. Depends on what you want to do. Combination of bow/axe is the most popular. [/quote]

[quote="WEDDINGCAKE"]bow using this hunting guide till 151str then axe till 171str. Bow to your desired dex finish back off with axe. Punch to 32 con and heal to 100int. Using the guide above the following is doable 1) 190dex/240str/150int 2) 195dex/230str/170int 3) 185dex/250str/100int 4) 210dex/215str/100int[/quote]

[quote="GARROU"]Thank you :)[/quote]

[quote="GARROU"]Could someone let me know if its better to keep 3 weapon skills equal on points, or just focus on 2 or 1? Do I keep staff skill or and bow and then reduce bow skill at 151 str and then focus on axe?[/quote]

[quote="WEDDINGCAKE"]Stick with axe bow unless you’re going above 200int when you come to do your int/healin use a magic available weapon to gain skill whilst doing int [/quote]

[quote="GARROU"]Thank you :)[/quote]

[quote="GARROU"]Are there any tips when coming to upping my stats. Int I have no issue with and goes pretty quick but when it comes to str and dex, it seems to take an age. Current stats are: Str - 96.3 Dex - 92[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]If your following the levelling route of bow from start to 151 str then it does seem slow due to slow downs at time. It is really slow between 90-100 str using bow but it does get quicker once your using like apus bow. The only way to speed it along is to use upgraded weapons that are faster recoil, the faster you can kill the quicker you gain.[/quote]
