    But so far, this is the only data showing where the cutoff might be. It could be valid. My own testing ended at ~200, but just cause I was in Kuftal. I haven't had a chance to go to the tree yet.

    Yes, you could as I capped Enhancing on Generals in Besieged. I also capped Dark, Divine, Singing, String, Wind, and Ninjutsu on NMs in Besieged. My point was it seemed to go much faster 236-251 than normal and then moved on at a seemingly more normal rate I have previously experienced in Besieged. I asked if anyone else could see if they have the same experience. If so, it may well have everything to do with the update, if not, I just got lucky.

    Notice the poster was over the 200 skill limit, where others have said might be the cap.

    I've the same lucky streaks with healing magic in besieged as well. It's just random dumb luck.

    You seem to have a healthy level of skepticism. How do you recommend that we test the skillup rate improvement? Or is every testimonial automatically dumb luck?

    It just took me a whole week (3+ hours a night, and like 5 on Sat.) to cap shield on PLD from 220 with a sipar fighting mandies.
    sorry to burst your bubble here but the skill up rate improvment has only been implamented since monday and that what people are talking aobut.

    and yes it has improved, 2.9 shield skill using a koenig shield in less than 1 hour on Tough Puck's in den of rancor, i barely got .4 in an hour before the update with Martial Masters

    I was 200+ anyway, and didn't realize it doesn't affect that range. Mystery solved. Bubble bursted.

    I've used scythe since then and didn't notice much out of the ordinary. Haven't tried guard yet, busy with Kupo d'etat.
