Attribute enhancement caps?? (please help)

[Zephyr]

I?m working on a new mag for my Fonewm? And I?ve already put a lot of work into it, but before I go any further I need some advice and information about how attribute enhancers and stat caps work.

I?m lvl 68, and my old mag had over 140 mind. When it was equipped I?d have something like 1105 TP. Then if I would equip a god/mind it would seemingly do absolutely nothing? my TP would still be 1105. If I?d try to use a mind material it would be grayed out though as soon as I unequipped my mag I could use it. Was I hitting an attribute cap? ? an attribute enhancement cap?

The reason it?s important for me to understand is I don?t want to make a mag with let?s say 200 mind and find out when I reach lvl 100 that 160 mind would give me exactly the same effect because of some cap. Can anyone explain to me how this all works?

Currently I have my new mag up to something like this:
Def: 35 Pow: 0 Dex: 0 Mind: 60

As you can see I don?t care at all about Pow and Dex? only mind and def. Will there be some sort of def cap too? And what?s this I hear about fonewm?s max mst being 670? Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was looking at the race * occupation chart. I'm not sure what to make of it. Does it mean the highest mst a fonewm can ever have, even with enhancers like a mag or god/minds, is 670?

Ok, I managed to get my DFP over 290 to 292 by equiping a general/body... so it seems you can get over the cap?... Now I'm even more confused ;p

[Zephyr]

A little more info... after playing around a bit it seems no matter what I equip I can't get MST over 670. What's interesting though is I can get DFP _way_ over the supposed max of 290. Anyone know what's going on here?

[Zephyr]

Actually, what would be helpful is for a highlevel fonewm or fonewearl to post what their base MST is. The most useful would be someone who is lvl 100... that way I could get an idea of what point rasing the mind on my mag would be wasteful.

I'm fairly sure ATP and DFP can go over the caps with equipment factored in. Hunters on this board have stated they can get 999 ATP with a good base + weapon. I'm not sure if this holds true for all other stats however...

[Zephyr]

I just talked to a lvl 100 Fonewm online. He said his base MST is 530. My mind stat is currently at 64, so I'm going to leave it there and get my defence up to 136. That should work out pretty well.

If you are interested to know. The BASE humars stats top out at:
ATP: 710
ATA: 142
EVP: 450
MST: 590

If you equip add ons like legs, power, or mind slot items, they will take you up to but not past these. Your mag will also only increase up to these base stats. However your armor and weapons will surpass these.

Also I know that fonewms max out mst at 670.

Another thing to note is, ever since about lvl70 or so, my humar gets crap for leveling up. Starting out I would get +7atp +4mst +5evp. Later on, you very rarely get +7 or even +6atp. Beyond 80 my humar got +2 +3, and very rarely a +4. Evp and mst also drop off. My last level up (91) was +1atp, +2dfp, +2mst, +1evp.

Although you don't need the stats anymore, just don't except your lvl 20 character to get about +400atp by the time you get to lvl100 (+5 per level).
