What's wrong with my potions?

[pgcd]

I have 150 dex and 159 stamina, and when I drink a Greater Agility potion - with 50% enhance pots - it stays absolutely the same. Is it normal? Am I hitting a cap or something?

I'm pretty sure 150 is the hard cap on any stat (and since stamina is based directly off dex that's probably the cap for it as well.)

So this page is wrong: http://uo.stratics.com/content/basics/statcap.shtml ?

The hard caps of STR, DEX, and INT is 125 points that they can be trained up to. The ceiling for the 3 before mentioned stats is 150.

Case in point for you, you can have more stamina but...you won't have more than 150 Dexterity. That's life.

That's fine with me - but this is blatantly wrong then:
"Dexterity: 125 + 8 (ring) + 8 (bracelet) + 8 (hunters headdress) + 15 (jackals collar) + 5 (taskmaster) + 30 (potion + potion enhance)) = 199; and, on top of that can be added 8 * (tunic, arms, legs, gloves) worth of stamina. That makes 199 max Dexterity and 231 max Stamina. "
(from that page).

And greater agility potions are completely useless if you are above 120 or so, then?

To clarify, the hard cap for DEX is 150. Any dex added after that will not be counted. However, you can have all the stamina you want, if you get it from stamina increase items, not dex increase.

Like I said...you can have as much stamina as you want. Greater agility potions are generally made of better use by a mage than a dexxer. If you already have 150 stamina...you really aren't doing a whole lot anyways by using them.

You're hitting a cap that we've not had a chance to get around and updating the page for (all the Enhanced client and SA stuff has a bit higher priority, for obvious reasons). I'll make a note of the page's issue, and see when someone can squeeze it in (depending on the age of the page, it might take an Admin or ME to edit the page without retyping it from scratch. Most content writers can only edit pages that they wrote personally).

If whatever you're fighting curses you, wait for the curse to drop your dex THEN drink the greater agility potion to beef back up. Best way for a dexxer to use them!

BTW, that page pgcd cited was an OLD one, that HAS been replaced by newer information - and replaced last year or earlier, at that.

We here at UO Stratics would really like to know how he got to that site, to make sure that we've got all the existing links that pointed to that page on our site pointing to the new one, instead.
