Tinkering Question

[Tobbias Rastel]

I know this has probably been asked before but i couldn't find it with the search option.

I know gnomes have to be like level 16 or something before they can start tinkering, but do they have to go past that starting level in order to get to 250 in tinkering? So can I have a level 16 gnome with a 250 tinkering skill or do I have to level him to level 60 or something?

First, this probably belongs in the Tinkering forum.

Second, tinkers can skill up to 250 as soon as they are allowed to skill up at all at level 16. Assuming, of course, that you can find enough supplies to skill up with.
