Optimizing Character Builds in Gothic 1 Remake
In Gothic 1 Remake, character growth is governed by Learning Points (LP) earned at 10 LP per level. Spending LP requires traveling to specific NPC trainers scattered across the Old Camp, New Camp, and Swamp Temple. Planning your stat allocation avoids wasting LP on unnecessary perks.
📊 What is the LP Build Planner?
The LP Build Planner is a character simulator for Gothic 1 Remake. It calculates required player level based on your desired Strength, Dexterity, Mana, 1H/2H Melee, Bow/Crossbow, and Thief skill investments while listing verified trainer locations for each perk.
💡 Avoid Irreversible Stat Mistakes
Stat resets do not exist in the Gothic universe. If you invest 30 LP into Dexterity but decide to play a Heavy 2H Templar, those 30 LP are lost forever. Testing your build budget guarantees maximum combat efficiency.
⚙️ How to Plan Your LP Distribution
Select Strength-based 1H/2H Melee, Dexterity Bow/Crossbow, or High Mana Magic Circle specialization.
Increase Strength/Dexterity to hit weapon requirement thresholds (e.g. 70 STR for Heavy Two-Hander).
Allocate LP for Lockpicking, Pickpocketing, Acrobatics, and Animal Trophy Harvesting for ore wealth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1.How many Learning Points (LP) do you get per level in Gothic 1 Remake?
You gain exactly 10 Learning Points (LP) per level gained. Reaching the typical end-game Level 30 yields 290 total LP to allocate across Strength, Dexterity, Mana, weapon talents, and thief skills.
Q2.What is the LP cost multiplier for stat increases in Gothic Remake?
In Gothic 1 Remake, stat training uses a 1:1 LP ratio (1 LP = +1 Strength/Dexterity/Mana) up to 100 stat points. Unlike Gothic 2 NOTR, there are no scaling 2:1 or 3:1 thresholds.
Q3.Who are the primary Strength trainers in Khorinis Colony?
Diego (Old Camp Market) trains Strength up to 100. Lares (New Camp) and Cor Angar (Swamp Camp) also train Strength up to 100 for aligned faction members.
Q4.Should I learn 1H Sword fighting before 2H Sword fighting?
Yes. 2H Sword training requires reaching Master rank in 1H combat (30 LP total). You cannot skip 1H training to go directly into 2H weapons.

Learning Circles 1 through 6 costs a total of 70 LP (10 LP for Circle 1, 10 LP for Circle 2, 10 LP for Circle 3, 10 LP for Circle 4, 15 LP for Circle 5, and 15 LP for Circle 6).

The Heavy Two-Hander requires 70 Strength and 2H Master rank, dealing 92 base damage.

Yes! Acrobatics doubles your jump distance, reduces fall damage by 80%, and allows jumping across broken bridges in mountain ruins.
Q9.How does Dexterity affect Bow damage in Gothic Remake?
Bow damage scales 1:1 with Dexterity: Total Bow Damage = Base Bow Damage + Total Dexterity. Dexterity also increases hit probability at long range.
Q10.Can I reset allocated LP in Gothic 1 Remake?
No. LP investment is permanent once paid to a trainer. Using our LP Build Planner lets you test your distribution before spending points in-game.
