Skills in red

As far as the skills in red, it's a work around to set the skill caps at Classic EQ levels rather than what they are on Live. If it's red, it means the skill level is over the set cap, but is only as strong as whatever its value in red is.

I think that makes sense.

I actually remember the red skills from classic, as you're describing, and as I've seen on project 1999 - they were either capped by your stats, or based on what type of equipment you were wearing, I believe. Though I have not had success here by removing my gear! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It sounds likely that perhaps maybe Monks had caps on their skills based on equipment in classic and the red skills for everyone else are due to a workaround to get the classic caps.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there was no skills window in classic. You could only track your skill by knowing what it was the last time it increased (parsers could keep track of your skill levels this way, so it was easy).

No, you're wrong. It's level based.

I know it's level based - I'm saying that I remember the red skills that continued to raise past the red "cap" - yeesh. :/

This is not true -- It gives you the higher skill level.

If this is the case then it is a bug, it should only be giving you the red value. Evidence that it is giving you the higher incorrect value?
