So the OP is confused because there's a tiny, almost inconsequential hidden cap not explained anywhere ingame, and your solution is a bigger hidden cap not explained anywhere ingame?Ralzar wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 12:20 pm How about restricting max skill % to your attributes? For example, if you have 60 strength, your max Axe, Blunt, Climbing and Jumping skill is 60%. Possibly with a raised max for primary and major skills. So primary skills had a roof of attribute+20 and major had attribute+10, for example.
The Master a Skill mechanic is confusing.

Re: The Master a Skill mechanic is confusing.
Edit. Never mind. I probably misremembered and raised Alteration to 100 after Mercantile. Then it would simply be a matter of "accidental rule abuse".
Is the intended behavior as stated in this thread still? I have been seeing behavior that is at odds with both my understanding of the code and the description here.
Code: PlayerEntity.cs:1380
My understanding: Once one primary skill has hit 100%, no other skill can be raised beyond 95.
My experience:

Code: Select all
if (skills.GetPermanentSkillValue(i) < 100 && (skills.GetPermanentSkillValue(i) < 95 || !AlreadyMasteredASkill()))
My experience:
- Decided to power-level my starter spells in the starter dungeon, causing first Illusion (Major skill), then Alteration (Primary skill) to hit 100.
- Power-leveled mercantile*, reached skill level 100.
- Tried to level destruction, became suspicious of the lack of skill increases, and found out about the 95 rule.

Re: The Master a Skill mechanic is confusing.
I just ran into this mechanic...I had been surprised that I was able to raise several skills (minor and miscellaneous magical school skills) above 100, but as soon as I hit 100 in a primary skill I got the notice and was locked at 95 (or the existing 96, 100, etc.).
It's a really weird mechanic; is this how OG did it, only locking down after a primary skill hit 100?
