If you start getting stuck, or don't really feel like training/farming for what seems like minutes (ha .. ha) then just do the following:
- Go into your inventory - Pick up any item/weapon with +stats on it - Click the Green Ability tab on the bottom left - && Drag the item over to the "+"'s for selecting stats.
When you click on the "+" (it doesn't matter which one) it will automatically add whatever + stats are on the item/weapon to your character. The item will disappear, but you will keep the stats permanetly, unless you re-spect.
I farmed the armor off of the paldin and eventually had my poison piercing off of the screen. (Don't feel like linking a screenshot, sorry )
Some might view this as cheating, but it got me through some tough times when I was too exhausted to train anymore.
Before I deleted my cookies, I had my character up to ~3000 strength. Got a little carried out with it, and decided to see if I could beat the Doctor in one hit. Never got around to it though.
But yeah, this cheat does take some of the fun out of the game, you've been warned.
