OK, so I heard that increasing wisdom while leveling could boost your max energy. Since this didn't seem to be confirmed or denied directly anywhere, I became curious and ran some experiments to find out what each attribute while leveling does.

I found the obvious, that con increases energy and health and wis increases your practices. What I also found was that I was told correctly, and wis DOES increase your energy. My experiments are far from over, however, because I have yet to find the pattern for how much con boosts it and how much wis boosts it. I still want to see if it is enough to make it worth boosting wisdom while leveling, as well.

I will post the data from my experiments so far in a minute, but first would like to ask anyone who gets a chance to help. It won't take much, just a minute or two before and after leveling each time...you don't even need to change what you would normally boost when leveling or how.

If you would, whenever your character is ready to level, record a few things for me?
Most importantly:
The character's int, wis, and con when leveling.
The character's initial int, wis, and con.
The level that they are at/getting to
The additional health, energy, and practices gained when you leveled
Also, if possible:
The character's other attributes
The time, day of the week, and date (TC time/day/date that is)
Anything else boosted (weight that can be carried, items, etc)
The amount of weight carried at the moment of leveling
Hunger/Thirst/Energy/Health problems at the moment of leveling
Character's alignment
Anything else you think might effect something at that given moment.

Do NOT include what items are worn. The specifics of these items should not make any difference and may give away secrets to someone who is not ready to find them yet.

Thanks in advance to everyone who decides to participate in this and share their findings. I hope some useful information will come out of this and help everyone.

I'm not sure how well the full table will turn out just copying it from a text file, but I will try anyway.

If that doesn't look right (which I guess it probably won't) you can copy and past it into notepad or the equivalent of that, turn off word wrap, and align it to make more sense.

Hi Betsy. Just found this after running a few tests of my own. I think this settles at least the question of whether or not wisdom matters at levelup:

All of the follow characters were created with 5 in every stat. They all levelled up while fully rested, etc, in case that matters.

All of them started with 35 health and 35 energy.

qwert 15: bows with 5 in all stats (7 in wisdom): gains 5 health, 5 energy.

qwert 16: same bow as qwert 15, same result: Testing for randomness.

qwert 17: bows with wisdom at 25, all other stats at 5. gains 5 health and 14 energy!

qwert 18: bows with strength at 18, all other stats at 5: gains 5 health, 5 energy. It seems str has no effect on health/energy.

qwert 19: bows with 25 con, all other stats at 5 (dex is 3, wis is 7). Gains 25 health, 15 energy!

Obviously, con matters.

I levelled qwert 19 again. The second time, with 25 wisdom and 23 con, all others at 5. He gains 23 health and 23 energy.


I can't believe I never conducted this kind of test before now.

It would seem that the formula for gains at levelup is something like:

Practices increase by Int
Health increases by Con
Energy increases by (Con + wis)/2, or something along those lines.

Sorry I didn't record the other statistics you requested. I can tell you non of them were tired, hungry or thirsty, all aligments were neutral, all of them were significantly over-level except qwert 19's second level up. All of those are the transition from level 1 to level 2, except qwert19's second.

hope this helps!

Thank you for the contribution.

If anyone still reads this far back and is interested in contributing, I am in fact checking periodically still. I have enough information to attempt to draw a conclusion (provided nothing changed), but more confirming it never hurts! Also, it'd be interesting to see if there's any other noticeable patterns. I've spotted a couple already I believe.
