Game Mechanics: Sense Heading / Skill Cap

[Teiraa]

Hope nobody will hate me for this, but the Sense Heading skill should be capped at 5 x (level + 1).

Currently there seems to be no cap at all--- my level 8 toon has SH 70-ish already.

This might affect other skills too.

I remember sense heading being level capped too.

Formula for Level Cap: 5 + (5 x Level)

Also, it was possible to get skill ups when it was at 0 skill. Currently, you need to put a point into it to be able to gain further skill ups.

Bump. Not a huge issue, but weird having uber max Sense Heading by level 4 or 5.

Sense Heading should cap at 5 x (level + 1). Currently no level cap.

[Kuron]

Weird, I don't remember this having a level cap.

Oh well.

I don't know for sure, but I want to say all the "general" skills, ie Sense Heading, Begging, Fishing, Alchohol Tolerance, etc were capped at 200 period, no level restrictions.

[Malrubius]

They were capped - pretty sure it's mostly common knowledge? You couldn't get max (or even decent) Sense Heading until you were pretty high level.

Sense Heading Very useful for one who does not want to get lost. It is recommended that one practice this skill after each level-up until it maxes out

Hurray for someone else doing the research for me!

Still currently not capped.

I just click on Sense Heading over and over again, until it's maxed for my level (see about max/caps above).
