If you want to just increase health, you need to start by looking at what increases health. In a word: skills.
Here's a list of all the non-hidden skills that add to health. (Some unlocks also help health but at your level, we won't worry about those.)
Skill - Category - Points/health
- Agility - Attributes - 40
- Athletics - General - 533.3
- Combat Reflexes - Combat - 1600
- Courage - General - 320
- Dexterity - General - 800
- Drilling - Mining - 1600
- Handgun - Combat - 1600
- Intelligence - Attributes - 80
- Melee Combat - Combat - 533.3
- Mining - Mining - 1600
- Perception - General - 1600
- Prospecting - Mining - 1600
- Psyche - Attributes - 80
- Rifle - Combat - 1600
- Stamina - Attributes - 9.25
- Strength - Attributes - 20
- Surveying - Mining - 1600
- Weapons Handling - Combat - 1600
The points are easy enough to figure. For every 1600 points of, Combat Reflexes, for example, you have a full point of health. Keep in mind attributes can't be chipped and move very slowly compared to regular skills. That's partially why it takes so few points to gain health.
But generally the lower the number, the less work it takes to get the 1st initial skill gains. As the numbers get bigger, skill gains come slower. Going from 1-1,000 is
much easier than going from 8,000-9,000
Though they're hard to raise, let's check attributes first.
- Stamina as a beginner, you can only raise it 1 point, by doing the initial beginner mission that starts at Port Atlantis and concludes at swamp camp. If you haven't done it yet, go have fun. However, it's a one-time thing, not too good for big health increase.
- Strength is raised by doing melee.
- Agility raises from various activities, but for your purposes, handguns, rifles(and powerfists are what you're after.
- Intelligence again, an all-arounder, but in short, hunting and fapping.
- Psyche raised from Mindforce, such as sweating (lucky you)
OK, let's look at the real skills. lowest points needed to highest.
Courage: At only 320 points/health, one of the best to raise. Of course it's also used in basically all hunting types and evading/dodging.
Athletics: (533.3) The more you evade, the higher it goes.
Melee Combat: (533.3) The name hints at the weapons needed.
Dexterity: (800) Lots of avenues, but basically hunting and fapping is your way to go.
The rest all take 1600, but it's easier to get those points hunting than mining (but keep the mining in mind for later.)
So, let's see what we've learned:
- Most health comes from hunting, evading and fapping.
- Faster to get 1,600 in 4 categories than 6,400 in one.
So how do we put that information to good use?
Equipment needed
- Pixie+2A
- Fap-50+Vivo T1
- All TT weapons
Go hunt Tantillions until you max out all the TT weapons. Then hunt them some more.
Come back to us in 3 months and tell us how it went.
