As Pickens can prove to you all, Stat Building is VERY much needed in DFO & he has HAMMERED his stats out to where they are all in the mid 70's - high 90's now.
Best way is to afk swim (Geodin's Song is the best place). This builds Quickness above all else, but also builds Strength & Vitality.
Beating away on Stone & Iron Ore Nodes also builds Strength & Vitality.
Herbing builds Intelligence.
Smelting majorily builds Vitality, but also Wisdom.
Best way to cap out wisdom is by Fishing / Cooking, since both of those ONLY LEVEL Wisdom anyways.
Also, Crafting (of course) to build Wisdom.
Dexterity = Bows & a crap ton of arrows.

Get to it !!!

Let's see other people catch up to Pickens !!!
