Is there any way to upgrade the hand stat? Any of the other stats you can just grind on town and the NPC's scattered through the other maps, but not the hand one.
That is because at least on my game, the few NPC's that upgrade it don't refresh/respawn upon sleep, unlike the majority of the other's stats.
NPC that give the hand stat:
- Npc inside the boathouse on the first battle area. He grants access to another spot, so like other NPC's that grant info/shortcuts, he doesn't refresh.
- NPC on the little outpost of the desert map that you trigger via an event where you scare a goblin. NPC gives you a dildo upon completion. Doesn't refresh and the event is non-repeatable.
Church on the same little outpost of the desert map. Unlike any other church, once you have done the confessionary booth 2 times, it never respawns again.
The brothel, like the other events where you don't use cursed stones, doesn't give stats, so you can't grow it that way.
Thanks to that, my hand stat sits at 5 and Gina's hypnosis level sits and will sit forever at 50 of 52 because once you reach level 9 in other stats, you can fill the bar, but that gives you nothing.
EDIT: Seems like the church not respawning confessors was a bug that patch 1.04 fixed. Still not ideal due to that being hand 1 star event, so you have to grind it repeatedly. But at least now it's doable.
