research trohpy evolution question for hybrids

[Villin]

As an SK doing research, I have noticed that at 200 skill cap by research trophy stopped evolving at 5/7 0%.

I figured that maybe I needed to up my cap level, so I spend the AA points to raise it to 250 figuring its 50 points to get 6/7 and the last 50 would get it to 7/7.

After 300 combines the trophy is still froze at 5/7 0% evolution.

Do I need to raise the cap w/ AA points to 300 before the trophy will evolve the last couple ranks, or is 5/7 the best a hyrid researcher will ever attain on the trohpy?

I am not completely certain of the 6/7 point, although the back of my mind tells me that it starts evolving past 5/7 at 250 skill, and it might require the potential to go past 250 before it will start.

7/7 is established though, since no other trophy can get to that point until 300 skill is reached, which makes it fairly likely that the Research trophy has the same rule.

So basically I need to be 250 skill for the trophy to start evolving to 6/7, and 300 skill to have it evolve into the quill?

The 300 is needed for the quill. That much is certain, since it is how every other trophy evolves. Needing the potential to go over 250 to get the trophy to level past 5/7 is my speculation, since it sounds like you are already at a 250 skill cap and not seeing trophy evolution. It is also possible the issue is with the combines you are doing, since you have to be working with combines at a trivial within 100 points of your skill to evolve the trophy.

Your skill must be at 200 before your trophy can start evolving towards Expert (5/7).
You must be able to gain a skill up for your trophy to evolve, so I assume you need to raise your cap above your current skill..

Your skill must be at 250 before your trophy can start evolving towards Master (6/7).
You must be able to gain a skill up for your trophy to evolve, so I assume you need to raise your cap above your current skill..

Your skill must be at 300 before your trophy can start evolving towards the Researcher's Quill (7/7).
Also the trivial must be > 300; >350 gives the greatest trophy growth.

Plus, do not forget the requirements for "earning experience" towards evolution.

The trophy has to be equiped.
The evolution must be turned on.
The combine must be successful.
If your raw skill (no modifiers) is less than 250 then the combine must be within 100 points (of your raw skill).
If your raw skill (no modifiers) is equal to or greater than 250, then any (successful) combine that is higher than your raw skill will provide evolution "experience".


If all of that is true, then you may need to petition to get a new trophy.
