Trophy Not Evolving Properly

[Dutchy]

This is not true. At 250 skill, you can have a level 6 trophy. It would not stop at level 5 and wait for you. The trophy can get 1 level above the plateau you are at (read how you can get 7 with only 300 skill).

Of course you can get a lvl 7 throphy with "only" 300 skill. There is no way you can get a higher raw skill.
What Gorse said is true, he stated if a skill was less then 250 and the throphy was at lvl 5 already it would stay at 0% untill the person got to 250 skill.
Ngreth confirmed this a while ago:

As stated before... if the trophy evolves before you "evolve" it will not gain exp.

Take its level X50. If that is greater than your skill it will not gain exp.

Sorry. I misread what he initially typed. Thought he was saying at 250 he couldn't get above 5/7.
