Tailor Archive

I've heard twice recently (both times from non-tailors, one of them buying stuff from me) that the +25 cap works only per garment now, and that if you stack more than one garment's bonuses, you can exceed +25 total on a single skill. I've assured them this is unsubstantiated rumor, that our former tailor correspondent got it from a dev that there was a +25 hard cap on bonuses to a single skill from all sources, and that I don't want to simply take their money from them for no real benefit. Both have insisted they're right, and the customer wanted multiple +25 medical treatment garments, anyway. Have they by any chance changed or broken the +25 hard cap recently? It seems unlikely to me that they'd let such an unbalancing change go in (you could easily get close to +100 to the treatment skills), but you never do know. Anybody got any fresh information on this issue?

Technically, +25 is only the hard limit where maximum skill is concerned. So for Masters, +25 is all the more they can get on top of a skill. For those who aren't yet Masters, wearing enhanced clothing can give them the full bonus if their skill is that far below the maximum.

No, +25 is the total per skill mod whether your are a master or not.

This has been confirmed by a dev.

The problem is in the UI - it still shows - confused a LOT of people.

If it at some points actually 'works' - we are looking at a bug. +25 is actually quite a healthy boost to a skill.

I'm not a doctor, so I can't try it myself; that's why I'm asking here.

Sounds as though it's a rumor. Thanks for the confirmation, all.

*Does* it still show? I thought they fixed that. And the other night, I made 2 +15 medic items for a customer, and when he put them on, he checked, and his skill page indicated +25, not +30.

Of course this is unbalanced, and wrong. +25 is maximum. Try it yourself. Make a bunch of clothes and wear them all ... Hat, Shirt, Pants, Jacket. Give yourself about a +80 or more, and then heal someone, keep track of the values. Then take off all but enough to give you +25 and see if anything changes.

+25 is still the hard limit.
