    After spending the points, I unlocked the 27%, 29%, and 31% tiers.

    If your theory about the bonuses being cumulative were true, that would have given me an extra +89% capacity points. Points before would have been x, points after would be x + 0.89x, or 1.89x. With a base of 3860, that would come out to 7,295 capacity points.
    Um, are you sure that was the base? Are you forgetting that we're getting +100% right now from the double cap campaign? And possibly from whatever CAP ring you're using? In other words, im wondering if you think the other bonuses are multiplicative with that, not additive?

    The base included all bonuses prior to the extra 6% from the 3 tiers of CP+ gifts. Which would have been +688%.

    I mean I'm open to the idea that I have math errors, but I'm not seeing any proof that the Gift bonuses are cumulative.

    your math error is the "Base" is the amount of CP before any bonuses of any kind. All of the percentage bonuses add together and are based on that base amount.

    so like a mob gives 100 CP. base. Your bonuses right now would be
    +100% double cap event
    +150% from that ring that I'm not allowed to have
    +30% from reive bonuses (I don't know the actual combined totall off top of my head, this is made up)
    +??% from gift bonuses (assuming cumulativity for the moment)
    +80% if you've completed all story missions
    +30% from HQ crafted cap cape (as an example)
    all this all added together.

    Please check again using the *actual* base. You can't remove the permanent bonuses, but you can extrapolate what the base would be without them.
