Scaling for adventure

Im currently doing everything i can to scale up my stats to kill the beast. I am spending magic in iron pills, maxing ygg adventure, farming the best gear i can from the zone prior, money pit, beards, ngu levels, and running advanced training for days. I am reading that ygg power fruits actually scale my adventure stats but I thought that juat delt with attack and defense outside of adventure. Am I missing something to help scale my adventure up higher? Why would the power fruit help my adventure stats in any way and does my "number" affect adventure as well?
