Question regarding dci cap

[Epyco]

Hi there.

I got a question which I sadly cant test myself.

Lets assume I got 45 DCI (real) on items. I refine 5 parts to decrease my dci cap to 40. Now Im using those +10 hci -5 dci boots.

Whats my dci now? 35 or 40? Well I kind of fear it s 35, but you never know.

Anybody has a clue?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure it's 35. But haven't tested it

I've not tested it either, but most properties allow you to overcap, then apply the penalties to the overage. MY mage used to use jewelry to use a -20 Mage Weapon bow at 120 skill, as the skill total was 140 (capped at 120) before adding the -20 bow.

Now, if something is hard-revised down to a set number (FC with protection on, sets to 0 for casting skills over a certain value), as opposed to having a negative applied, the set number becomes the new base (so FC-1 can take it to -1 from 0).

My guess is the first should apply, at the new cap of 40, as as long as you are overcapped to 45, the -5 should cancel out with the overcap - but don't hold me to that.

Is it not simple or am i misreading this.......your new cap is 40 after refinement, but you have 45 worth of DCI points...then u add boots that take away 5 DCI...so your at 40.
and it should plainly show that 40/40
so why guess what your new DCI is when it should show it.

40, refinements just lower the cap not the real value, the boots lower the real value so 45 - 5
