Does he have many other high level skills? Maybe there is already a soft cap in place?
well at least we know who are the people cutting down over 100 trees.
I still have the trees that i initially cut down a month ago.
I got to 6 and 7 today and yes I have lots of high skills
75ish in both leather and tailor
50 architecture
96 basketry
So maybe that is why
I would love to have confirmation on a soft cap
If someone wanted to make a character with 5 logging and level that with only logging (assuming you live near me where there are lots of trees ) and compare that to someone that has started with logging at 25 and compare that as well, we might be able to figure out how the cap works. I don't think the community will get a dev answer on how the cap works, but if this is part of the soft cap, it's much better than I thought it would be.
One also has to realize that if they have 90s in skills that they might think it takes billions of time to level them, but if the have all 25s and only 1 that's 90, it might be different.
This is all just something to consider.
