it doesn't really affect your ability of OC'ing. somewhere in the docs it says "as long as you can make it you can imbue it" or something similar. what tha means is that as long as you are using gems that you can make yourself you also imbue them including overcharging. of course you should only use 99% (or higher) gems if you go for OC. and i speak from experience. I have sc'ed all my chars to the max when my sc'er was around 700 - 800 skill and did max. 5.5pt oc without any problem. the only times I managed to blow up my sc'er was when I tried to be smart and used lower quality gems when doing full OCWij said:How does your SC level affect your ability to OC ? Can't find an article that explains this fully.
