Did Crafting Skill Caps Change?

[Kraggy]

Thanks for that explanation, I have to admit that I was unaware of the '10 levels over' feature, maybe I missed it or the web sites I visited back in '05 when I first started didn't mention it, in the past I started a recipe when I was 6 levels below its cap and stopped making it when it capped, seems like I missed out on some easier skillups before.

LOL, I just checked the date on a couple of sites I'm using and one's 2005 and the other's 2006 so ... hmm. At least I do know SE debunked the myth about direction and moon phase.

The other rule I used to reply on was that at +11, +21, and +31 (or something similar) you had increased chances of HQing, would those still apply? Sadly at the moment I can't find a bookmark I had which commented on that.

Thanks.

Yeah, skillups didn't work like that originally, not sure exactly when it was changed. At least two years ago though, since that is when I came back. XD

HQ tiers are +11(1/16 HQ), +31(1/4 HQ), +51(1/2 HQ).
I'm gonna try to head off your next most likely question XD: Synths with subcrafts work a little differently.. Their HQ Tier is determined by the highest tier you can reach with ALL involved crafting skills, so something like "Leather90 Cloth60 Goldsmithing11" would be a T1 synth at best (even if you reach T2+ with leather/GS, you'd still only be able to reach T1 for cloth, so you'd have a T1 HQ rate.)
