    http://www.adomgb.info/adomgb-toc.html has a table of what to pay, but if you ask me the improved guidebook has a, well, improved table for it. It lists the exact amount to pay in order to get a 100% chance for an increase. And incase you're paranoid about clicking links, the formula:
    The formula for how much to pay is $100 ? stat value, doubled once for each 5 points over 15.

    sorear once posted that the optimal way of
    paying for Garth training is 1g at a time : )
    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

    if you have unlimited RL time and not started game with short lived race than yes.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    I thought the optimal way was to get to casino, gamble all through the night (IRL), and then just pay him enough (never done this and probably never will, but I think it would work)

    The optimal method is to realize that if you've got 50 in a stat, you don't need any more in fact 40 was already enough you greedy sod
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Easiest way is, just before you train, to starve your stats down to about half their current values. Then you generally won't need more than 10k to raise any given stat (doesn't work for To, but you can use sickness if you want to lower it a bit).
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

    if you're feeling scummy, you can always use dragon gold doubling to get gold to pay Garth.
    I haven't yet finished an ADOM game, but i haven't given up on trying yet either.
