Do the Guild Merchants Have an Item Level Limit?

I am a 50/200 character and was looking for some food in the CP 200-250 range. When I went to the two traders near the way shrine in Knenarthi's Roost and typed in "200" - "250" in the search box (CP Level checked), clicked the mouse to set the search, it reverted to "160" - "160". This also happened when I tried traders in Auridon and Malabal Tor. Am I missing something?

    The CP cap is 160 for items.

    You'll continue to benefit from CP that you gain up to 810 on your character, but armor, weapons, enchantments, and consumables only go up to CP 160.

    God, imagine only getting a ''TRUE'' Set on CP810, i'm already having trouble to get Valkyn Shoulders Light (Literally 24 Keys already), imagine if i need to repeat it every 300 of CP, i would abandon the game

    Everything in Tamriel is capped at CP160, it is the max level for items, mobs and npcs ...

    Upgrading your weapons, armor and enchants give you higher quality cp160 items, but still only cp160.

    Crafted food and potions are superior to those sold by npc vendors, but can typically also be bought from other players in guild stores. Enchanting you will definitely want to craft or buy from a crafter; I'm not sure how good the selection tends to be in guild stores.

    Not sure what you're asking. CP160 is the cap. You can pile up cp points past that, but gear and items are capped at cp160.

    There is no food, runes or gear for levels above CP160, that's the cap.

    You can use more CP than that, but it's purely the CP benefits you get, not new item tiers.

    Valkyn Skoria shoulders were in the AP golden vendor in cyrodiil this past weekend. I hope you were able to get the one you needed
