Bard: Skill ups vs. Skill List

[Adcid]

Following a link from the wiki it seemed as though song skills where caped at 200 from the skill window.

While I was able to gain skills up to 235 prior to 51, in the skill window my instrument skills show red and cap at 200.

Is this bug functional? Are my instrument abilities caped at 200 right now causing me to miss more notes or is it more of a visual bug and my skills are fine?

Skills that are red usually occur when you skill up and then de-level from dying. It'll show your level-capped skill but show you that it's red to indicate you have a higher skill.
I've seen this many times while leveling.
Back on classic in 1999 I heard tales from my friend who always played on red of people leveling up to 20 on red server skilling up and then suiciding back down to level 10. Because of the skill difference they were hard as nails and unbeatable by the same level in pvp - but what this looked like in the client I don't know.

Oddly enough, this bug does not effect Sebilis. I wonder if the limitation is zone related.

Ya im getting the same thing, Im 51 now and still they are red, I thought post 50 they would go up 4 or 5 per lvl.

But like you said, all my skills were lvled up to like 235 way before 50, but the skill box still shows 200 and red.

I would like to get some feed back from the game devs if this is a bug or as intended.
