Beastlord Skill Cap Chart

[Nusa]

The 11/13/07 SoF expansion raised the max level to 80 and changed caps again. Note that some of our defensive skills were significantly increased, even at 75. Changes to progression prior to 75 is unknown to me.

The 09/05/2007 patch raised caps slightly on melee skills. We're told this is intentional in preparation for the SoF expansion raising the max level to 80. New 75 caps are indicated in red on chart below.

New caps with TSS expansion. The game now displays your current caps in the game, making a more extensive external reference table unnecessary.

Note: the 09/19/06 release of the TSS expansion has revamped the entire system of capping and made the charts below obsolete and of historical interest only.

This chart has stood the test of time. I relied on data points gleaned from others when I created it, and have used it myself. May it serve future Beastlords well.

Prior to level 51, the skill cap is simply (level*5) for Offense and Defense, and (level*5)+5 for the other skills, up to the level 50 skill cap listed in the first column of the chart below. Note that it is possible to reach the level 50 caps well before level 50. i.e. Dodge can be maxed as early as level 24, while Alteration cannot be maxed until level 46.

After level 50, the skill cap progression is as below. Caps do not change for levels 61 through 65. Some caps start going up again with levels 66 through 70.

Why isnt this a sticky? Also, are you sure the values on kick and riposte are correct?

[Nusa]

Looks like someone stickied it...

Do you have some indication the values for Kick and Riposte have changed? I confirm the max values are correct, but at level 65 it's hard to recheck the lower level values. They were correct when I was those levels.

[Xarilok]

The values for Kick and Repost seem right to me, at least as far as memory serves me.  It hasnt been that long since I went thru the 50s, but that seems right.

[Alerka]

I was wrong, nevermind my earlier post.

[Sorien]

Don't know if anyone else noticed it, but Offense seems to have a different skill cap other than LVL * 5 pre 50.  While in the 20'S I ventured into the (LVL*5) + 5 area.  I have been at that point up until now on my BST @ lvl 42 which now of course is capped at 200.

[Akinlore]

Thx for the list.

Been looking all over for a complete list like this.

At least now I know why my defence skill hasnt moved.

[Nusa]

When one of you hits level 75, would you please confirm my level 75 extrapolations of skill caps? Thank you.

(edit...never mind, I've confirmed the values now.)

[Raukus]

Is that correct on swimming.  Im at 200 and have been forever.  ???

[Vidyne]

Ding swimming!(201)

yes.

[Terroz]

Be glad that none of our spells seem "overly" effected by need for new skills.  My cleric fizzles the new symbol until she is oom almost everytime. Thank goodness for out of combat mana regen lol or I wouldnt even bother with her new buffs.  I fizzle the new Ferocity a little bit, but that doesn't bother me as I rarely use it, 900 mana pfft.....keeping the old one for now, at least until i get rank III.

[Jaeren]

Yeah, a couple cleric friends have been complaining about their fizzles a lot. I spent a bunch of time in PoK while i was watching tv just repeatedly casting spells to get mine closer to the caps.

GH + paragon FTW

Endless mana for just such a thing

[Kanan]

/chuckle.. have em get on a horse in the hall.. you'd be at like 600/tick or something like that with the hyper regen

[Kitathia]

Awesome Job Nusa~!

I was so glad when I dinged 71 and to my surprise saw that I got double attack! Coolest I thought and then......................... Double attack MAX 25 at level 75.. /sniffle WHY EVEN give bst double attack when we can't get better at it then 25/25? That sucks- should have made it a dics or something if bst got too "powerful"  by having Double attack..
