- Several years ago, items with +1 exceptional ability appeared as high-level random loot. Few such items may still exist in the inventories and banks of old characters.
Exceptional (stat) skills +2[edit]
These bonuses exist for each and every stat and effect all skills that use that stat as their modifier. They only appear on named loot and a few crafted items, most notably Green Steel accessories and Dinosaur Bone crafting.
Previous exceptional bonuses[edit]
In the past, exceptional bonuses stacked in a non-standard way. Between Update 14 and Update 19, all special stacking cases of exceptional bonuses were removed from the game or redesigned:
- Exceptional Ability +2 => Insightful ability, insight bonus (stacking with exceptional ability) (U14)
- Exceptional Skills +1/+2/+3 => Effects doubled (+2/+4/+6), no longer stacking (U19)
- Exceptional Fortification => insight bonus
- Exceptional Sneak Attack => insight bonus
- Exceptional elemental resistance +5 => competence bonus
- Exceptional elemental resistance +10 => insight bonus
The developers have stated that they prefer to offer non-stacking bonuses to create more gear options and so do not plan to add more items with exceptional bonuses in the future.
