The GM is mistaken. Whether it's a bug or not, the Tinkering skill
follows the same rules as Caster research. The level is capped at
(level -15) * 5. The reason you didn't gain a single point is because
at Level 31, 80 skill is your max. Wait until Level 32 and try again.
You should go up 5 pts and stop at 85. Forget the /petition and /bugs
about Aqualung charges, THIS is the problem we should be complaining
about. Tinkering should have the cap removed and made like every other
trade skill.
