I was just browsing the forums a bit, and noticed somebody remarking that you can only have a max of +4 to all skills.

Now, I am fairly certain that my Haruspex has a +5 to Marksmanship, which leads me to believe you can have a +5 to all skills (there is just a hard cap at 4 above the maximum i.e. Marksmanship has a cap of 12 points, so the hard cap is 16)

Say, for example, you've got 12 skills maxed (regular cap), you then toss on a pair of Legendary Stonebinders' (+3 to all skills, right?) and a Sacred Charm (mine has +2 to all skills), you're then at the max +4 for those 12 skills, right?

Now, if you go to a Diviner buddy (not sure what its called, but the guy who can remove skill points) and take one point off of each of those 12 skills, would you still have them at the max +4 (since you've got a total of +5 to all skills, and the skills are at max -1)? If so, you would then have another 12 points to distribute, yes?

Seems to me that would be pretty useful. I mean, if nothing else, you would have the skill points of a level 60 at level 56. And if this is the case, I'm sure there are other items with +# to all skills you could get (I have some armor on my conq that gives +1 to all warfare and defense skills).

The question is "would you still have them at the max +4 (since you've got a total of +5 to all skills, and the skills are at max -1)?".

Short answer yes.

You discovered a goal for many people with eq. You can buy back those skill points and put them somewhere else since your eq will keep you at max level.

Yes, you can buy back 1 if you're +5 and at maximum.

And no, you can't buy all of it back except the +4, you need at least 1 normal point in the skill.
