[Not a bug]Cannot Learn lvl 60 patterns

I worked my tailoring up to 60, as required by all of the Bone Armor patterns. I also purchased the wizards hat pattern I still cannot learn any of them. I am told my tailoring skill is too low. It says Level 60 Tailoring required. I am at level 60. I dropped the recipes into a chest , picked them back up, and logged in and out of the game. No fix

 

if you go into your skill trees and mouse over the tailoring skill, in the text description there is a proficiency level. THAT is what needs to be 60.

(you can temporarily boost it with expert tables and devotionals, and if you manage to learn a recipe with a tmeporary boost, it stays in your book even when your proficiency is back to normal)

 

It does feel a little confusing its is your proficiency not the skill level - I fell foul of that one..

 

You're not crazy, Liz. I can't learn them either:

 

That's very unclear.

 

Yeah, I think that throws everyone until you know about it. I do think they should make the level be the only thing, possibly offsetting the XP per level, as required.

 

Yes, this is confusing for everyone until they understand the terminology.

The recipes require a "Proficiency" level. This is NOT the "Skill" level. The proficiency is on a curve where (in most cases) a 100 proficiency is when you hit skill level 200 (the hard cap that is virtually unreachable due to diminishing returns and the exponential xp required to level up past 80ish).

Unfortunately, this is not a bug as it is working as intended. I think a good idea might be to make suggestions in the feedback forums to have this either changed or better explained in the tooltips.
