Hi again
I Talked with GM Caphys of Veeshan alot today and he tried tinkering to.
The skill should not be level caped, it is like any outher trade skill outher then it cant be raised until you hit level 16. This is how it should work. If it does not then it is broken.
He told me that hes going to talk this over with the DV team and if i didnt hear anything from him then i should smack him around a little. He he he not realy . I�m going to hount him until he does not want to be a GM any more or they fix this. 1700 pp have i spent since reaching a skill of 80 and still no improvment. Today Caphys raised my skill to 81 to see if it was stuck in anyway but it didnt help 11 items, 4 failures and 200+ pp later i hadnt gained a point. He then summond tinkering stuff and started making items, starting at a skill of 0 gaining 2 points. At a skill of 50 gaining points. At a skill of 80 (where i am) where he got 1 point after 3 spyglasses.
So either my char is bugged or tinkering is bugged.
Well this is for now and what i know. Tell me if you dont want to hear more about this.
Askur Gnomish Wizard of Veeshan
