<b>Subject:</b> RE: The lighter side of Skill Cap <br/>
<br/><br/>
<div id="ygrps-yiv-859947096">I just figured out my skill cap - you all have it wrong:<br/>
<br/>
I am level 30:<br/>
<br/>
Formula #1:<br/>
<br/>
( level - 15 ) * 5 ==&gt; ( 30 - 15 ) * 5 = 75<br/>
<br/>
Formula #2:<br/>
<br/>
level * 5 - 13 ==&gt; 30 * 5 - 13 = 137<br/>
<br/>
(following normal precedence rules)<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
My assertion is that the second formula is correct, but the original poster<br/>
left brackets out...<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Which leads to:<br/>
<br/>
Formula #3:<br/>
<br/>
level * ( 5 - 13 ) ==&gt; 30 * -7 = -210<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
My skill cap at level 30 is -210 - YAY!!!<br/>
<br/>
