Hail all,
Well as i so hurriedly ran from butcherblock to cabilis with a lvl 9 monk. I gave my lvl 1 iksar necro items that totalled around 130mana. To my amazement, it added a big total of 0 mana. i thougth it might just be being lvl1, level 2 nada, level 3 nada, lvl 4 didn't get to play enough before i got booted. I did however cast my lvl 1 shield spell a few times and i can't tell if it added any at lvl 4. If anyone else has any information or same problems please let me know. I also have noticed that the iksar have a xp bonus to lvl 4 so far that i noticed. maybe its the newbie xp i dunno.

Others go on to say they don't have that problem from items, but this player is saying specifically to a level 1 or early toon, not an advanced character. They go on to reference EQ devs about soft mana cap which has already been referenced in the OP.
