Luck

[Grungi]

due to masses of skill training i ended up levelling about 6 times in 5 minutes and realised something as i was trying to get my stat boost multipliers,

a) luck doesnt have a skill so theres no way of raising it more than 1 at a time, is that true?

b) i didnt take anything affecting willpower as primary or secondary so cant raise that more than 1 at a time as well?

Im maxxed in speed agility and strength but before i run out of levels id like to be able to boost as much as possible as luck seems to be one of the most important stats and i dont want to rely on boosting potions or spells.

Does this mean next time i start a character that really i should max luck as much as possible because i know in the long run my other stats are all increaseable taking the right skills? im starting to think so, this is my first char and i havent used my stat multipliers as well as i could have done and by the time i hit the 60s in levels id like to have got my int and willpower maxed as well, which brings me to my final question:

c) my magicka is on 78 and doesnt seem to rise when i level, my int is on 78, does that mean i can never have more than 100 base magicka cos that seems a pathetic amount. I assumed magicka went up each level the amount dependent on your other stats, the same way hitpoints are dependent on endurance and strength.... any ideas?

a) Yes, I think that's right.

b) Well, if you use Willpower Skills a lot then you still will get xs in level ups.

c) Your Magicka will be your int x ???. The ??? are as followings, High Elfs is Int x1.5=Total Magicka (Side note: My high elf is now lvl 7 and has 150 Magicka and I haven't even boosted his int once), The Star Sign Mage gives you an Int x 0.5 and the Appreance gives you Int x 1.5.

I hope that clears things up.

nope cant get higher willpower due to the fact i havent a primary or secondary willpower skill, so i create the multiplier but nothing to multiply so always 1, ie i can pump 20 into something using willpower and it will still only give me 1 on levelling.

ah and im a nord with warriors starsign so not the most magical of individuals but as im pretty maxxed on the warrior side of things im trying to improve my spellcasting, so no way of me getting more than 100?

Training of Misc skills should in general increase your multiplier. I have used this to get all my stats but Int, Will, and Luck up to 100 by level 33. Sometimes you will not get the multiplier but I have not figured out exactly why. I am one patch level behind so I am going to updgrade to the new patch and see if that helps.

In general if you make sure to put one point in luck every level and then make sure you have trained a combination of skills that apply to the stat you want to increase up to 10, you can maximize your stat build up.

but how can i multiply luck when there is no skill that uses it? and i trained some skills 20 times in a row and got no multiplier, but bear in mind the game im using isnt patched at all i think

You can never get a multiplier for Luck since there is no skill attached to it *period*

In the gold unpatched version, msc skill only count toward the multipliers if they augment by practice.

so how did he get luck of 100 by level 33? surely thats impossible with any patch version? im about level 46 now i think and agility strength and speed are 100 and my lowest is willpower but id need another 50 odd levels to be able to max everything i think and im guessing i dont get anything like that many left, 20 at most, possible to create items with stat boosts on them? ie +10 luck +10 willpower etc?

Luck of 100 at level 33 ? Either boost items or potions. Hell I've made potions that give about +1000 in STR for 1000 seconds, but that's a whole other discussion.

With Deadric Shields for example you can create a permanent +30 to a stat,.

It is not possible IMNSHO. You cannot put more than one point into luck as you level up!
