Strength

Strength is a combative skill that increases a player's overall power in several ways. It increases the players base damage output potential both armed and unarmed as well as enabling them to equip weapons of higher grade and/or heavier two-handed weapons which deal significantly higher damage than their one-handed counterparts and enemies struck tend to lose their balance, causing knockdowns. Strength is not limited to melee combat as it will increase power even in ranged combat. Some very large longbows will require high levels of strength to use and will focus on long-range, slow-to-fire, penetrating shots. However, strength has no effect on magical warfare.

It also affects non-combative actions such as lifting heavy objects in the world, allowing you to carry more items than usual, as well as giving you advantages in artisan and gathering skills which rely on manual labor such as woodworking, woodcutting, mining, and metalworking.

Leveling Weights
These are actions that when performed frequently grant experience to their corresponding skill. If all of the weight requirements are not met, the player cannot achieve max-level or Mastery in that particular skill. Here's a list of every skill's Leveling Weights.
