Do skill enhancements stack beyond 100?

Post » Fri Jan 11, 2013 8:53 pm

There are two different skill buff enchantments that I have seen. One makes skill better by increasing the skill a discrete number of points. The other makes skill better by increasing it by a percentage of existing. Question for both of these - do they stack past 100?

Examples:

I have 100 sneak. I have a ring that makes sneaking 30% better. Is my effective sneak skill 30% better than 100 or does it cap at 100?

I have 100 sneak. I have a ring that increases my sneak skill by 20 points. Is my effective sneak skill 120 or does it cap at 100?

It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.

It goes over 100, but I don't think it actually does anything.

yes they increase over 100. its the same thing for bow weapons armor n all the other. except for pick pocket peoples. youre maximum of chance of success to steal something on someone seem to always be 90 percent not more????

90% is max pickpocket probability.

Skills can be taken past 100 with buffs. For proof, get enchanting to 100, then take an enchanting potion and activate an Arcane Enchanter. If you look at the bottom of the screen, it will show your current enchanting skill at 110,120,125 (Depending on strength of potion.)

Yes the skills can get above 100. However, for most of them, there is no reason for this.
