NTE merits grant an additional 5% increase to this chance for each upgrade.
Prior to the increase from 3 to 5 for Category 2 merits, I had 3 upgrades in NTE for a combined theoretical total of 48% with Koga Tekko equipped.
All that said, my question is whether or not anyone with Koga Tekko has done any tests to see if there is a cap on Ninja Tool Expertise or if by maxing the merits and equipping the AF2, will one be granted something in the neighborhood of a 58% chance at a tool savings?
My fear is that the final merit upgrade would be worthless if something like a 50% cap was applied to this Trait.
Seems like it'd be an easy test for anyone with time and plenty of shihei to conduct, so I'm hoping to be pointed in the right direction if anyone has done this already.
