For New Players wanting to gain str.
 

A good way to gain strenght is to work combat skills like wrestling and mace fighting. So find a dummy in town usually near the bank. Left click it to find the name "Dirthe" This dummy has advanced AI so it walks around slowly. Just attack it and you will gain strength. Dont worry about losing any items cause the dummy cant hit you back.

Wow and to think i did it the old fashion way beating on Artimus
