(Just something I'd like to add)
If you are having trouble raising your stats, you may wish to invest in Artifacts. And Artifact is an item which is made from three different items (A purified piece of equipment), two of which are ingredients. You can make these on a Magic Anvil, 4 in total. Most of them will raise your stats a fair deal, and offer other bonus's, like a Vampire Touch, or Action Points. These artifacts can then be upgraded again by increasing its power with another artifact. To see a list of the artifacts and locations of the ingredients, see the Strategy Central topic at the top of the thread list (If you're to lazy to find them ).
Thank you, Doom Warrior, for the correction. Yes, its 45.
