My girl is a level 6 giantman cleric. I have 3 more times before the 11th of February to reassign. She only has 10 mana but worse, she only has 4 spirit. At that rate, she'll spend many, many, many trainings hunting before she'll ever be able to raise anyone. I'm betting (and am sure) the problem lies in her stats, which are:

Gender: Female Age: 0 Expr: 42237 Level: 6
Normal (Bonus) ... Enhanced (Bonus)
Strength (STR): 82 (31) ... 82 (31)
Constitution (CON): 63 (16) ... 63 (16)
Dexterity (DEX): 70 (5) ... 70 (5)
Agility (AGI): 71 (5) ... 71 (5)
Discipline (DIS): 63 (6) ... 63 (6)
Aura (AUR): 43 (-8) ... 43 (-8)
Logic (LOG): 53 (-4) ... 53 (-4)
Intuition (INT): 92 (21) ... 92 (21)
Wisdom (WIS): 92 (21) ... 92 (21)
Influence (INF): 53 (6) ... 53 (6)
Mana: 10 Silver: 0


I'm wondering if it's influence. Maybe aura. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Aura controls spirit points. Your aura stat right now has a -8 modifier. Get it up if you want more spirit.

Mana is a result of both starting stats and skill training. Your wisdom is decent, but I am guessing that, for no good reason, you have not trained in Harness Power skill. Every rank of HP gets you 3 mana up to level. You should have at least 6 ranks of this skill by now, which would get you an additional 18 mana over your starting value.

go ting-a-ling-a-ling
for you but not for me

Thanks to both of you for being so quick! Guess I'm headed back to reassign some stats. And I most definitely will check out that site tonight (bookmarked it real quick like).

Really happy to know about the harness power as I just made a wizard last night.

Thank you, thank you!!

There's another thread with someone asking the same questions as you (to a degree).

Also, check out the other folder here as there's another training discussion going on.

Once you've done that, post back further questions :)

Regarding raising...

It'd probably be best for all new clerics to get 9 spirit by level 18 so they can enjoy raising people as first timers.

Older players (in terms of game years) can get away with lower spirit.. you just have to watch out who you raise. I know many successful clerics that have started with 4 spirit.

I played back when it was GS3 and had the first female dark elf warrior in the lands, if not the first dark elf warrior. There was always a discussion on who was first...me or Meth...we decided we came out about the same time, others fought about it. She was powerful for a dark elf and it was nice just smacking things upside the head. I miss Stronghold and whacking away, she hunted alone 99% of the time.

I never played another game since...not even on Xbox or anything. Had no desire but the past few months, I've just had this feeling that I had to come back to GS4 despite all the changes and the fact I'll have to learn a gazillion new things. It's sad I don't recognize but one or two names :( and I suppose everyone I know from back then have all left like I did. But I'm far from stupid and with info gleaned from that website, I'll make a group of powerful girls again!

But it'll be fun and I look forward to adventuring with everyone! Thanks so much for your help!

You could probably dust off your warrior.

The characters I can re-activate include some 1 day only test characters I created 10 years ago :P
