Project 1999 - Defense Skill Max on the p99 Wiki

The math for the skillcap on defense on the p99 wiki is incorrect. The Wiki States;

Quote:

"For the cloth casters, it appeared for their Defense skill up to level 10:

Defense(max) = ((level x 4) + 5)

since my three casters had Defense = 45 at level 10. But from what I have
gathered since a few have experienced into higher levels, the Defense skill drops
to three points per level gain. That is, level 11 = 48, level 12 = 51, level 13 = 54,
level 14 = 57. But since the maximum of all maximum is 145, three per level does
not evenly divide into (145 - 45) = 100.

Anybody have any insight, especially at higher levels? Does it reach a point to
dropping to two points per level, down to one?

So far, this is consistent with my experience as a cloth caster:"

This is "almost" correct except for this part:

Quote:

"Defense(max) = ((level x 4) + 5)"

The correct math is:

first five levels = 5 per level
second five levels = 4 per level
Levels 11+ = 3 per level (ill clarify where this goes from 135 skillcap to 145

the reason why the math is presumed to be (level x 4) + 5) is because the skill caps are identical from lvl 6 onward

lvl 6 cap = 29
lvl 7 cap = 33
lvl 8 cap = 37
lvl 9 cap = 41
lvl 10 cap = 45

but the proof is in the first several levels

lvl 1 cap = 5, not (1*4)+5 = 9
lvl 2 cap = 10, not (2*4)+5 = 13
lvl 3 cap = 15, not (3*4)+5 = 17
lvl 4 cap = 20, not (4*4)+5 = 21
lvl 5 cap = 25, which is the same as (5*4)+5=25 but only by coincidence.
