Training Skills
- Tip: In Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire the master from the ring (Djinni)
 can improve any of your skills by wishing for "prowess" and entering
 the skill name. You can also wish for a skill that you don't yet know.

2.1 Strength
In general: Do everything that moves your character (fighting,climbing, throwing, etc.)
QG1(NEW) Go to the screen where you can find the antwerp bouncing. Cast flame dart, throw dagger, whatever. Just make it disappear. Then unlock the rock door and use the hand icon on it until it opens. Now your strenght should be something like 36. Then use the hand icon on the already opened door (not the 'black hole') and watch your strenght climb up!
QG3 1 In Simbani village, go to the training area. Click hand icon on the pole and watch your strength climb up.
2 Go to the savanna/jungle, pick up hundreds of good throwing rocks and throw them anywhere on the screen. If your stamina gets low, drink some water from the Pool of Peace. This will replenish your stamina.
QG4 Train strength in Adventurer's Guild in Mordavia with the training machine. Add weight whenever it is needed.

2.2 Intelligence
In general: Casting spells improves your intelligence.
QG3 Play awari game with Yesufu in the Simbani village. If he says that he won't play anymore, because of the cattle, just keep clicking on the awari table and he will play again with you.

2.3 Agility
In general: Climbing, fighting and balancing
QG2 When the dude that will pay you for crossing the rope comes to Fighters' Plaza, give him a dinar and climb up. Stay on the line and press left and right arrows. There is no need to use up/down keys. You won't probably be able to walk the rope if your agility skill is worse than 110.
QG3 In the Simbani village you can train agility by climbing on the log and walking it to the other end. Do this 100-200 times and your agility is in 300. I noticed that when thieves walk on the log and their skill is about 200, a sort of panel will appear after climbing up the rope. Click on these icons and it is a lot easier to train agility.

2.4 Vitality
In general: Vitality cannot be boosted (At least I think so) by itself. Fighting, climbing and just training other skills improves your vitality.

Top of Page
2.5 Luck
In general: There aren't any great single sources for luck. But one way to improve luck (and intelligence) is to play awari with Yesufu in Quest for Glory 3. Also fighting, picking locks and just practising other skills improves luck. Also a good way to improve luck is to parry and dodge. This also improves a whole bunch of your skills.

Top of Page
2.6 Magic
In general: In general: What do you think? Maybe by casting spells. Training this skill is very boring. But every time before resting, use all your mana for casting spells.

Top of Page
2.7 Communicate
In general: Talk with people.
QG3 1 Click the talk icon on a person. Put some weight on your Enter key and make sure that there will be some communication (cursor is on a list item)
2 In QFG3 in the simbani villiage INSIDE the hut click the talk cursor on the hut wall near/on/around the zebraskin. This will SUPER boost your communticate skill with ease!
QG4 : Talking to others won't help. So why don't you talk yourself. Click the talk icon on yourself and do the same trick.

Top of Page
2.8 Weapon Use
In general: Fight..
Notes : Fighting increases a whole bunch of your skills. For example agility, luck, vitality and strength.

Top of Page
2.9 Parry, Dodge
In general: While fighting, practice. This seems to be very easy in all Quest for Glory games. Just keep clicking on the Parry/Dodge icon/key and it will get better quite fast.

Top of Page
2.10 Stealth
In general: Sneak
QG1,2 Type sneak.
QG1new,3,4 Select special skills/info menu from command bar, select sneak icon.

2.11 Pick Locks
In general: Every time you bump into a door, try picking the lock. Also, try to click the lockpick on yourself or type "pick nose". This might kill you if your skill is less than 40.
QG1 : You can pick the houses' locks in the town at night, even when they are banned from inside. Don't be too greedy or you'll be arrested. Also pick your nose.
QG3 : Pick the lock on the chest in your inn room.
QG4 : 1) You can increase lockpicking skill even during the day. Go to the burgomeister's office and click the lockpick set on the door and hold it there until all stamina is gone. Your skill should go up about 10 points even though the door never opens (unless the gypsy is in it). It takes a while to get the skill up, but if you get ten points a day you should get to 400 fairly fast.
2) Go to the Thieves' Guild (from the Adventurer's Guild). Click the hand icon on the safe and choose "crack safe". Do this very many times.

2-12 Throwing
In general: Leave town, go to forest/desert/jungle, pick up a few hundred rocks and throw 'em. This is probably the easiest skill to train to maximum. Of course, there are other ways to practice throwing. For example, in QG1 you can go to the archery range and throw your daggers to the board, in QG3 you can practice throwing in Simbani village (throw to the target) but these ways are really slow.

2.13 Climbing
In general: Climb all trees, ladders, ropes and everything you might find on your quest for glory.
QG1 : Outside the Healer's house, climb the tree (this trains your skill only to 83. You can also practice climbing on the town walls at night. Just climb 'em up and down and your skill will get to about 90. Next, when you are on the brigand doors (after killing the two guards) climb up and down the mountain (rocks) and this will improve your skill to 100.
QG2 : Buy the magic rope from Keapon Laffin and climb that.
QG4 : Climb the forest trees (easiest way), you can also climb the town gate at night plus the monastery wall.

2.14 Acrobatics (QG4 only)
In general: Jump around. Click acrobatics icon on the special skills/statistics window. The easiest way is just keep that enter key down in the forest.

2.15 Honor
In general: Do everything heroic.
QG2 : 1) Go to the flower katta and bargain for flowers. After loading up on about a gross (144) of flowers at a time bring them to any female character (for example Uhura) in the game and start giving the flowers away. Just have to keep hitting the space bar and enter for a while and make several trips. Bargaining also improves your communication and intelligence at the same time.
2) Go to Julanar in the desert and hug tree many times. This boosts your honor up, but must be done before you have got the fruit of compassion.
3) After day 12 when you have solved the Julanar quest, go see Julanar in the desert and thank her (thank Julanar) This will boost your honor up.
4) This trick requires some money. Just go outside the inn and type 'Give centime' near the beggar or the musician. You won't lose many dinars and this is an 'honest' way..
QG3 : There are 4 good ways to improve honor in QG3.
1) To to bazaar, go down and seek Kalb's meat store. Bargain the price to 1 and buy 300-400 meat pieces. After Harami has asked you to help him and meet him at night, go to the bazaar at night and give him all the meat. This will improve honor to 300.
2) The alternative way to improve your honor is to keep using your money pouch on Harami. He won't accept the cash. But anyway this will "pump" your honor to 300.
3) In the bazaar, click your money pouch on the drummer's bowl. This is also honorable, but this will cost you 10 commons each time when you click on it.
4) After completing the drum quest, go and talk to Laibon. Say Thank You many, many times and watch you honor slowly climb.
QG4 : 1) First go to the castle entrance. Talk to the gatekeeper and ask him about his ex-wife. He will tell you something stupid. Then go to the store in Mordavia. Talk to the shopkeeper about his husband. She will tell you something. Go talk to Boris (the gatekeeper). Tell him what his ex-wife told you. Run between these two places until they say nothing new to each other. Your honor will raise by about 10-20.
2) Pick up some flowers. Go to Rusalka. Give her these flowers you just picked up. Go away picking some more flowers. Give her another bouquet of flowers. She says they are nice but she won't take them. Keep clicking the flowers on Rusalka and watch your honor climb.

2.16 Stamina, Health, Mana
In general: Sleep
QG3 : Go to the Heart of the World Tree and climb. Enjoy the free refill there and climb down to go back to spell casting, throwing, etc.
QG4 : Ignore your stamina (except in battles) and focus on climbing, acrobatics, lock picking, etc. Even though stamina will go down to 0, you'll still live and find your health going down instead. To completely refill health, sleep on it. Preferably at Erana's staff or garden.
