skill question

[valthalion]

most skills are capped at 5*level + 5 (so for level 19, 100 is the cap).

Is that true for craft skills such as jewelcrafting or fletching?

no they are not level capped unless it's a special like potion making or making poison

^ Correct
Skills like Sense heading, swimming, trade skills dont level cap.

Also, I believe your first tradeskill you get to 200 will cap at 255 and the rest will cap at 200. (Can anyone verify this? I can't remember)

You're close.

I could be wrong, but I swear that my swimming wouldn't go any higher than 45 when I was level 8.

Feel free to call BS on me, but the RNG on this server is poor and I believe this leads to skill levels, miss rates, tradeskill combines, loot tables incorrectly processing the "random" chance. Meaning your swim skill seemed stuck on 45, because anytime the RNG ping'd the server it was producing consecutive "failed" skill ups.

I have come to the conclusion that at least swimming IS level capped. This after being 45 still at level 8 and two days of mostly swimming through qeynos aqueducts and no skill ups.

I admit this is a N=1

Swimming does seem to be skill capped for me and my wife. Neither of us has increased past what would be our level caps with hours of swimming.

Relatively easy to test (it takes a bit of work, but is straightforward). Make a lowbie ( < level 3), train points into swimming. If at level 1 or 2 you can't go higher than 10 or 15, its capped. As I recall you can't train skills higher than 20, so test before level 3 (if I'm wrong, ignore this). Also, you only get 5 points per level so you'll have to train it up at least 5 or 6 points the hard way before heading to the class trainer.

Swimming and fishing are level capped now it seems. I can't remember if that was original. I started right after velious opened ( like one week before) and remember reading a book while my level 2 character maxed the swimming skill.

I joined the server about 2 weeks ago and swimming was level capped...
