According to the 1.68 E+ changelog:

When earned AP causes current AP to exceed the cap of 2000, the excess AP earned will decrease total AP. (This means that AP is no longer wasted when AP is at cap.)

But from my testing (ver 1.77) this doesn't seem to be the case, and nothing in the other changelogs says it was changed back. I'm using the Custom mod; might that be the problem?

Is resistance to brainwashing based on will, mind resistance, magic resistance, or what?

Does the enchant value of tofu, fried tofu and natto food items have any effect on how much they train their related stats? Or does the enchant value just influence what they do when thrown at a target?

In the Rehmido dungeon there's monsters of around level 80 which still give me AP when killed, but there's also monsters of around level 107 which *don't* give me any AP, even though their stats should be high enough (having looked them up in the wiki). Is this something special to Rehmido?

I'm using version 1.77.1 with the Custom mod.

With a lot of garbage material saved up I set out to craft a bunch of waste arts. With a carpentry skill of about 33 and potential of 100%-200% I'd just have to craft two or three waste arts to gain a carpentry skill level. After running out of garbage material I put on some equip to boost my carpentry above 45 and crafted some rods of eclipse, but even crafting like 6 to 10 of them it didn't level up my carpentry skill any, even though rods of eclipse need carpentry 45 while waste art only needs carpentry 10. So why do waste arts give so much more skill experience? Is it the weight of the product? The amount of material used to make it?

Using the latest version of E+ I'm trying to use scrolls of superior material to change some equipment to rubynus. However, it seems that now the equipment cycles through all of the superior quality material types *except* for rubynus. Could there be something I'm doing wrong?

Does the rare loot trigger also apply to items which are put in an NPCs inventory when they spawn, or only items which are generated upon the NPC's death?

The changelog for E+ 1.67fix2 includes:

You can now give instruments to any pet that has the Performing skill.

Does this make any difference to the results of an ensemble?

My journal shows that I have a "thug rank" of 92, giving me an income of 60 gp. What's this based on? The number of rogue bosses I kill?

From the E+ 1.68 changelog

Items used for evolving pets are now affected by the rare loot trigger, and their base drop rate increased 2 to 5 times.

So which heart drops rates increased by how much?

I started (from a gene) a new game in E+C 1.77.1, and so far the training cost for raising the potential of a skill has remained at 2pp, even for skills that have increased to 39. Is this intentional? I can't find anything about it in the change log.

For the pet ability "Tactical Attack" it says:

Pet learns Shadow Step special action, can decapitate enemies at < 10% health

Does the pet get a chance to decapitate at enemy at < 10% health on *any* melee attack, or only when doing Shadow Step?

I've noticed that sometimes I can do two Ensemble actions in a row from full stamina, but sometimes I'll become exhausted on the second attempt. I decided to do some experiments where I payed close attention:

Experiment #1: First ensemble cost 59 stamina (138 sp to 79 sp), second ensemble cost 36 stamina (79 sp to 36 sp).

Experiment #2: First ensemble cost 54 stamina (138 sp to 84 sp), second ensemble cost 58 stamina (84 sp to 26 sp).

Does the stamina cost vary according to how much reward you get, or something?
