Wrong ability descriptions?

Hi all,

for the ESO-Skillfactory we got some bug reports about wrong tooltip values. I've checked the values of Inner Light (https://www.eso-skillfactory.com/en/...ner-light/235/). As you can see the API reports Max Magicka is increased by 6% but the in game tooltip shows 5%.

I tried to fetch the description with this command and I also get 6%, does anybody know why the API is returning a wrong tooltip for the max rank?

Lua Code:
  1. /script d(GetAbilityDescription(40478, MAX_RANKS_PER_ABILITY))

Hi Keldor,
aaah you must be the dev Maggy talked about, when I reported this to her

GetAbilityDescription(40478, MAX_RANKS_PER_ABILITY) returns 5% in my environment. For every language.

the raw return:
Code:
 .... While slotted your Max Magicka is increased by |cffffff5|r% and ....

Any chance it's class or race perks modifying it?

I'm not sure, since that's not really clear from the Perks' descriptions.

Maybe the mages guild level changes the value somehow or were they all the same on teh different chars?
Or any of the passive values of the mages guild maybe though I only know the one increasing the time the ability is active.

Perhaps test this on the PTS with new created chars of different races and classes, no skill points set, just mages guild (bought by crown store if possible so the xp gained is the same on all chars).

I've tested this with a level 1 Khajiit Dragonknight. The tooltip text says 7% and this is my second account without any CP unlocked for all chars

Seems it's race / class dependent then. Perhaps ZOS_DanBatson is able to help/provide information here in the forums:

Ok, then I will open a new post there to see if there is a reasonable explanation for the fluctuations of the tooltip values
