Table of contents
Physicalup to level 51
Stress resistance reduces the chance of pain shock and lessens the arm sway and tremor caused by pain.
How to level it up
Suffer pain and stay in raid at low health. The fastest way is to run with the pain effect without painkillers.
A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.
Quests requiring the skill
- Flint — level 5 (Skier)
Radar and leveling
