Nerd Armor

What is meant by extra skill point chance in the chestplate of the nerd set? I coudnt figure it out yet and i wear it for almost 20 hours ingame.
With best regards

I could be wrong, but my understanding of it is that you have a small chance of gaining an extra magazine point when wearing the chest piece and reading magazines. I use it as well. I would say a very small chance :)

Yea thats what I though because I dont check every book i read but i thought maybe it could be a extra skill point but I guess you are right ^^. But chance on lvl 6 isnt that small its 50% Actually :D

In my experience when you read a magazine with the Nerd Armor bonus at 30%, then there's a 30% chance your crafting improves by +2 instead of +1.

Sadly it's very hard to make use of lvl 6 Nerd Armor since by then you're usually finished with any magazines you care about. It really shines in Multiplayer though, because you can give that armor to a new player at a time when the world doesn't have as many magazines in it (short of resetting a POI via Trader mission).

I started on hard difficulty and at the desert so we already have lvl 6 Armor before reading every book. But because I play with 1 friend we have different books we read and drop the other to level up the attribute faster. But I guess in singelplayer you could be right.
Sorry for bad english :P
