thanks for replying. yeah, i believe it is orange when I take jagga. I know my armor is always orange because I am all heavy plus I wear a +70 armor ring. This means I'm probably misallocating resources; I didn't know orange meant I had hit a limit. (i wish the little warning text said "you have hit a limit" rather than "it will be difficult to increase this" or whatever it says.) is the cap determined by my character level (22 now) or the way I have allocated points to health/magic/stamina? Because I have heavily allocated points to magic rather than health or stamina, and I notice that my magic regen is allowed to be a lot higher.
Actually it is not a hardfast limit. I'm not a min/maxer, so I cannot state the exact limit. I can give you an example. Lets say for level 22 your cap is 22(not a real cap) so everything that you wear and drink up to 22 will give you the full effect. However, anything that raises it above 22 will give a reduced effect. Maybe only 50% or 75% or even 25%(again, I do not know the exact reduction).
So, although you do not get the full result, using items above the soft cap is not a total waste.
To me, the orange does not mean I need to change something. It means that I simply should not intentionally add to it.
