Patience skill only works for army commanders (if at all)
I leveled this skill in order to capture more generals, especially unique ones and right after that got lucky stumbling upon Taishi Ci. I looked up the capture chance numbers and it turns out I only get the 25% capture bonus if I put my guy with Patience skill into commanding position. Here are the screens for proof:

Image#2[ibb.co]
Image#3[ibb.co]

(Capture chance differs by 20% and not 25%, because Zhang Yan is one level higher and thus has a 5% bigger innate capture chance)

But that's not it. I decided to look through detail character information and strangely they have a 25% experience bonus, and I have no idea where comes from. The 10% from Scholarship is stated higher as a separate army bonus and my other characters don't have this experience bonus. But 25% suspiciously coincide with Patience or Scholarship capture bonuses.

And they don't have a 25% capture bonus mentioned anywhere in the detailed stats! Nowhere at all!

So I am wondering whether capture chance not showing up is just a display bug, or maybe Patience does really only work for the army leader. Or maybe it doesn't work at all despite displaying some bonuses when commanding.

And I am also wondering where this 25% XP bonus comes from.

Have you hovered over the commanders of the opposing army during the pre-battle screen (where it shows each characters capture chance)?

Because, it often shows different capture chance ratio's according to the specific variables at play during that particular battle between those particular characters.

However, it is entirely possible that there's some innate capture chance % that's not being displayed properly & CA simply hasn't resolved the issue.

There are screenshots of me doing just that.

And innate capture chance is not hidden - you can see it in detailed character statistics. Also it's calculated very simply - it purely based on character level.

Is the 25% experience not from the sentinel? Little book icon, or did that give a different % experience?

Scholarship gives a 10% XP boost, not 25%. And I don't think it's displayed in personal section. Moreover, I checked things out and found out that some other characters have implicit XP boosts. For example Lü Bu has a +100% XP bonus, that comes from nowhere.

I also tried leveling Patience on other characters, and wasn't getting the XP bonus, so I guess those things are unrelated.
