"Stuck stats" workaround



If you are having a problem with a stat being "stuck" and not gaining, try this workaround: pick one of the stats you have locked or lowered, set it to raise, and work that stat you get a gain. Once that happens, put your stat locks back the way you want them and work on the stat you REALLY want to raise.

The problem seems to be that the system tracks your skill usage over time and decides which stat to raise based on which one you've used the most. Unfortunately, it can keep trying to gain that stat even if it is locked, which is my best estimate as to why some players are seeing their stats get stuck. Getting a single gain in any stat resets the tracking statistics, which will set you back to having even chances to gain in each stat.

If anyone tries this and it works, please post a follow-up to this thread. Thanks!
