Tried today with skill 93, outfit Q90 (giving +18.1 carpentry), knife Q80 fully repaired, with Q100 billets I am able to make Q93 handles. Before the patch I would get Q100 handles. Is that intended or is it a bug?
Seems like a gameplay balancing. If your skill is 93, your produced goods should also be capped at 93. Maybe it is hinting at upcoming changes to resources and crafting balancing that has been hinted.
