Hello,
I've heard repeatedly that BE tissue enhancements cap out at +25 per skill, so that even if you're wearing 3 pieces of clothing that total +45 or higher, you still only get a +25 bonus to the skill. I know that if I stack a few pieces of clothing made with my ownMask Scent tissues, my Skill page will show Mask Scent +100/+139, but I don't know of any way to test to see if my Mask Scent is performing at +125 (+25 cap) or +139 (as displayed).
That being said, I still see people advertising +30, +40, +50, etc. bonuses to one particular skill. Are people wasting money by buying/stacking too many BE items thinking that they're getting a higher bonus than they're actually getting?

The skill display is a bug, it is a max of +25 per outfit.
Yes, people are wasting money by buying more. Unfortunately because the skill display doesn't reflect the +25, they think they are getting a benefit. I keep telling my customers what the max is, and I postto correct misinformation on the boards when I see it.

I asked another MBE on my server about this, and I found out that some are listing a combined value for the tissues. For example "+50 Entertainer Healing" means +25/+25 Musician/Dancer. That makes more sense to me now. "+50 Scout" is +25 Mask Scent and +25 Camouflage, etc.
