Learning skill and bonuses

Unread postby Jacko » 23 Oct 2016, 17:17

I have Master Learning at slvl 7. So it means 100 points of exp gives 3 x 7 + 9% initial bonus = 30%.

Scholar cap gives 15 bonus, and it is listed as such when rightclicking the skill - +15 learning.

Now the NPC Instructor - it say 15% bonus on exp gained but when I rightclick the Learning skillit say +15 learning... :|

So, is it 15% or is it 15 points? the difference is big - 15% vs 45% if the bonus fro the NPC is in points that get multiplied by the bonus from learning skill it means 45 % at Master LEarning and not simply 15%?

Whatis right - NPC description (15%) or skill description when NPC hired (+15 learning skill) :wall:

IIRC each 1 point is 1% anyway, so Scholar Cap gives you 15% to your Master level (30%+15%) and Instructor also gives you 15% (30%+15%). I don't remember, if bonuses from Scholr Cap and Instructor NPC are cumulative, but from your descripiton it seems, that they are not - only one (the highest) bonus works*. Try to hire a Teacher (+10) and see, if you have +25 bonus to Learning.

*Hiring 2 NPCs Instructors only gives you +15% bonus, while hiring Instructor (+15) and Teacher (+10) or Scholar (+5) should give you +25/+20 bonus to Learning skill.

Maybe I wasnt very specific but the bonus from Scholar cap and Instructor are cumulative as in the Learning skill description it say 30 point bonus to learning.

Well, I am still on the fence as to the NPC,.

NPCs just give (additional) point bonuses to skill, so IIRC you should have (30+15+15)% bonus to gained XPs.
