Bard Dual Wield Skill (Velious)
It appears as if every in-era reference to bard dual wield shows a cap of 245 at 60. (Rather than halting at 210 as we have currently.)
I tried searching these forums but I didn't find anything mentioned about this. Apologies if I missed something. I tried to dig up archives close to where Blue is in the timeline. (But 245 appears in much older archives of these sites as well.)

Have tried to determine when it might have been boosted to 245, but I haven't been completely, 100% successful.
I did dig up a few more things:
I think -- and would welcome more help if anyone has it -- that dual wield is boosted at Kunark to 225 -- and 245 at Velious. I'm unsure at what level these caps were hit, but they may have capped before 60. | ||

Only the upstairs Freeport trainer should teach dual wield for bards.
Source: i’m 60% sure from memory. | ||

I think I found the answer in the eq-bards email list:

The patch he is referring to is the Feb 21st 2001 melee rebalancing patch that tinkered with skill levels. | |||

I couldn't find anything else related to whether the skill went to 225 before the 245 bump.
Seems like a reasonable compromise until/unless something better were to come along would be:

Bump.
I realize that this issue is pretty minor all things considered (it affects bard melee dps, slightly, which isn't exactly remarkable). But I feel kind of attached to this issue since it is the first obvious inconsistency that I've ever found via wayback pages. So if anyone has anything else, feel free to add. I'd love to know for sure the exact timeline, but seems like the only thing we're mostly sure of is the jump to 245 date. | ||

Bard Dual Wield cap will increase to 245 with the February 2001 patch.
Fixed, pending update.
