Maxing Out Skills
Erica
works out, but what I do is multiply my level by 5, and add 5.
That always seems to work for me.
29 * 5 = 145
145 + 5 = 150
And I work up my skills until they are 150.

again, when they reach a multiple of 5, they are maxed. Of course this
only works for skills that were already maxed.
Side Note: in the patch about a month or so ago, it said "Skill
increases will not report current level and maximum level. i.e., "you
have increased your skill in foraging! 21/50" but it never did that and
we never heard another word about it.

sense heading, forage, etc. are capped at the "normal" equation of:
5*(Level+1)
I have noticed that my Offense/Defense is capped at:
5*Level
and that my melee skills (1HB, 1HS, and 2HS) are capped at:
4*(Level+1)
Also, most "melee classes" get melee skills at 5*(Level+1) though some can go up to 7*(Level+1)
Hope that helps.

Phaedra
Caster/hybrid classes such as druid, cleric etc. cap melee skills at (level + 1
X 4)
Pure caster melee skills cap at (level + 1 X 3)
I don't know if melee/hybrid classes have a lower cap for spells skills.
Oh, and caster/hybrids cap offense/defense at (level X 5). I don't know what
other classes max at.

You can tell what the rate is roughly, when a spell or skill
you use a lot gets maxxed. Usually medding maxxes first,
every level. so if you watch when it stops giving you
"your meditation skill raised to X" messages you
can tell what your max is. Though a druid's melee
skill maxxes lower than the other stuff each level.
That is pretty much how you tell, there is also some
formula that i forgot. The conjuration skill of the druid
has the same max as meditation, evoke, and the other
skills. At least on my druid I maxxed evoke out pretty
fast every level when low.
You can also get an idea of which ones are maxxed and
how close the other ones are by going to a trainer.
You will see the list of skills over on the side, and all of your
regular ones that cap every level that are non melee
( for the druid anyway) will all have the same amount
of money to add an additional point when theyare alll
maxxed. Like say 6 plat 5 gold.. they will all have that.
Then a skill you just got and are working on like conjuration
would maybe have 5 gold 6 silver to raise it a point.
Well that tells you that you are that far away from the
6 plat 5 gold.

Thanks for all your replies. I've got a pretty good grasp of it now.
Plus I found the website eqdruids.com, which list the skills and their
caps (for druids, at least).
Another related question: I wonder why Verant felt that they need to
give you a word-based rating (e.g. awful, very bad, below average,
excellent, etc.) rather than just show you the skills as 34/50. Anyone
have any ideas as to this choice? It's just annoying that when a PC
caps out on a skill, even though it's respectable (let's say: 50), it
still shows up as something disappointing, like below average, or bad.
Just a personal thought...

Dual wield for monks is capped at Level * 7 + 5.

Not quite.
It's progression is at 4*(level + 1), but it's capped at 175. You
can't get your melee skills past 175 regardless of level as a druid.
>Also, most "melee classes" get melee skills at 5*(Level+1) though some can go up to 7*(Level+1)
Some? Which one?
I think every melee class is a multiple of 5, not of 7.

Monk dual wield skill caps are (Level*7)+5 -- Most other monk skills are
(Level*5)+5. Offense is (Level*5), but +5 at level 15, and +10 at level 30.
Defense is just (Level*5)
Note that the actual game code does NOT use formulas. It's just tables of
level, class, skill, cap.
