I was so excited to finally boost this guy only to realize I forgot to max out his ability. Now I can't max him without over-riding the boost :'(

If you try to boost something that is already past the cap it will tell you that you can’t.

I often max boost my clones that don’t get the showing ability/pt score of the horse I cloned them from. It keeps their paper level at 5% above breeding cap, but boosts their showing ability:

If the they already kept the showing ability o get an error message saying that I can’t max boost the horse again.

I’ve never had one be “returned” to the paper cap and I’ve done a good 10-20 of these.

But it looks like your guy is already at the pt cap so it’d probably just give you the error message.

@pestilenttempest maxing and boosting are completely different things. Maxing gives the the highest abilities they can get from their parents. Boosting pushes them past that limit. I am pretty sure I saw Ammit has even mentioned to always max out before boosting because it can overwrite the boost. I wanted to max him out and then boost to make him the best possible he could possibly be. I don't care about the cap/PT. I want his breeding ability higher but I forgot to max him first so I messed it up unfortunately. He will still be a good breeder but not as good as he could be.

Also, boosting doesn't have a cap. Maxing does have a limit since it's based on what the parents can produce. Just because his PT is high, does not mean he is maxed out breeding quality wise.

It's not going to totally make up for what you lost, but if you're making him avail, I would do 20k per straw for 10 and speld and lock his foals :x

@Looper I am not sure what I am going to do with him yet so gonna hold off on breeding for now while I decide :)

Ah I assumed you tested for breeding cap before boosting. ^_^ my bad

I max out past boost all the time. It hasn’t overwritten yet. That horse I linked is 5% above breeding cap and will be boosted to 10% whenever I stop spending money. ^_^
