As a BE Tailor I see this all the time, from what Ive read and seen there is no definitive answer. In my opinion, absent any bugs, the +25 cap is per clothing item, and the skill cap is something above or at100 depending on the skill and the level of the character.

I base this on the fact a +25 cap is per item. Many posters mention a +25 skill cap, yet the only thing I see thats capped at +25 is the item.

Looking at the skill I see a different cap, over +25. So unless the devs cant make the cap show up in the skill section, I dont see the +25 applying there. It does not seem logical to me to have a +25 item skill cap and an overall +25 skill cap. Additionally this would limit the usefulness of clothing and tapes, it would however benefit the guys who run around in just a hat....

In my personal experience having +50 to Scent seems to be definately more successful then when I'm just wearing an old +12 rag

.

My .02, and am hoping for more imput or even a link to dev post.

well, it all depends on your actual skill level.. like injury/wound treatment stuff.. a master doc already has 100 of that skill, so clothing can only extend that to 125. that's a proven.

But, if you're not up to master level yet, and have under 100 in a given skill, I think it can still boost it, but on that one I'm not sure about. best way to test would be wait till after tomorrows patch when buff packs will be an exact science on how much a doc buffs for, and get them some wound treatment clothing, and experiment

The devs have stated:

There is a +25 cap on any bonus. The fact that the skill sheet shows higher is a display bug.

It is my understanding that if you are a doc with +25 skill and wear a +100 outfit, you will only realize +50. If you are a doc with +100 skill and wear a +100 outfit, you will only get +125. The cap is on the bonus, not the total skill.

well that was interesting, since i like to see links i did hunt down the posts that satify me that the "total cap is +25"....boo. no more matched outfits.

i can see pro's and con's for both, and hope for the 'graphic' bug to be fixed soon.

thanks for getting it straight for me
