Fastest Way to Level
- 1.Keep your carry weight under the limit and sprint everywhere between fights. Overweight movement trains Strength instead, so pick which one a raid is for
- 2.A stimulant that boosts carry weight or Strength at raid start can put a normally overweight kit under the limit, letting you train Endurance in full gear
- 3.Every point of Endurance feeds 25% of its value into the Health skill, so this levels two skills at once
Remember the per-raid decay: gains slow sharply after 2 points in a raid and reset after 200 seconds without progress. The full system is explained on the skills hub.
