Enhancing Stat bug?

[Meatdawg]

I am currently a 58 Red Mage.

I have been trying to max my Enhancing skill as of latly, because ive been waiting for some LS mates to catch up to me.

Then i noticed a funny thing, my Enfeeble skill is maxed, for me level of 58, at 193.

Now according to a skill chart, my enhancing skill should be maxed at 186, but heres the problem, its not.

My Enchancing skill is at 194, and not caped.

Is this a bug? or have i simply over looked someting?

I was under the impression that all A skills cap at level 58 at 193.

I was also under the impression our enchaning skill wasnt a A skill.

Can anyone think of a reason, why at level 58, my enchancing skill is at 194, and still not caped?

I can add screen shots too if more proof is needed.

Do you have your AF that adds enhancing skill? :confused:

Just used the stat tool. At 58, your Enfeeble skill should be 193 WITHOUT GEAR, and your Enhancing skill should be 186 WITHOUT GEAR. Now remember that your AF leggings give 15 to your enhancing skill and the AF body will give 15 to your Enfeeble skill. So If you have both of them, the final result your skill should be capped with enfeeble skill of 208 and enhancing skill of 191.

Yes i do have my legs, but i was under the impression, that if you wore any gear it would still just raise it to the cap, but not go over it. (it would be a hidden stat, that you would just know was over the cap)

I guess the the +15 from the legs has to be it.

I had leveld a thf up before i did rdm, and i had wore a emperor headpin, and even though my evasion was maxed, i never saw the +10 the headpin gives you actually added to the cap, it just remained bule, and i always assumed it was added in, just not shown.

Maybe after a certin level, +stats from equpiment, actually is allowed to kick in and go over the soft caps.

No no... the AF allows your skill to go ABOVE YOUR CAP. For instance if you cap is 193 in enfeeble. It will show as 206 CAPPED when equiped your armor piece. This is why, many high lvl rdm still wear the AF because NO OTHER GEAR OFFERS THIS MUCH BOOST.

yeah, I had a little trouble getting used to that with my blm af4 gloves (+15 elemental skill). Another thing to note is that while my screen shows 208 capped, when I level, and start to gain points in it again, whenever I get a new level, it will say:

gained 0.3 skill in Elemental Magic (w/e the message is)
Elemental Skill Level 194!

Even though that'd technically be level 209. I've still yet to determine if having the +skill gear effects your skill ups, but I *highly* doubt it.

As for not seeing the +Evasion bonus, I noticed the same thing with both my combat caster pants (still no eldieme coffer, even though I have the key >_<) and my Erudite's Headband. +8 evasion total, but nothing shows up under combat skill. What I've read, however, that +Evasion is different from +Evasion Skill. How different exactly, I'm unsure of, but supposedly there *is* a difference.

Thank you Shiia, you cleared up this little mystry for me =p
