Stupid question maybe

[Marlee]

I have a stupid question... Can you get your skill over 250? I can't figure out how and if not why do some recipies triv out at 335 or 95?

Thanks

Officially you can not go over 250 for tradeskills. with hand held items that raise your skill such as Geerloks items, the skill might be put over the top. the higher skill levels given such as 335 is to give a lvl of difficulty an item maybe to make. even masters in real life will have trouble making finely detailed work the first time or even the ten time.

The hard cap right now is 252 on all tradeskills. Something about the coding which I don't understand but just accept. Even with a geerlok at 250, which in theory gives you 262, you have a cap of 252.

And, like Melinia said, the super high trivials are there in order to make the item more difficult to suceed on. Some things are just not meant to be done correctly every time
