'''Body control''' is a [[characteristic]] that helps with accuracy and [[stealth]]ing, and determines the [[mounts]] a [[player]] can ride.
The best method to gain body control is by [[archery]] and [[fighting]] but [[smithing]] and [[carpentry]] both offer decent skill gain.
Chopping trees with a [[longsword]] and [[two handed sword]] also offers fantastic good Body Control gains. Note; this only works until 20 skill, or 20 effective skill on Epic.
Archery on an [[archery target]] is excellent until about skill level 30.
