I heard the attribute point cap was 12, but then I was reading this thread that said it could go up to 16, am I missing something?

It is 12. Certain helmets/headgear can give +1 boost. Runes give +1, +2, or +3. Items can give boosts by chance when you use spells of that attribute.

Does that mean that runes can push you up over 12?
I'm confused about this as well.

Yes. Let's say your attribute level is 12. It will have a white 12 in your Hero window. If you use a superior rune, which gives +3, you will then have a blue 15 in the Hero window.

just FYI also 13-16 attributes will not raise the skill at the same rate as 1-12. meaning you only getabout 1/2 the benifit per attribute level above 12./

Yes this is correct. To add just a little more...

Most headpieces give a +1 attribute bonus so 15+1=16.

So 16 is the most you can have.


HOWEVER ---

Some weapons/focus/shields will give you a +1 attribute (10-20% of the time)

So at the moment, You can reach 17 some of the time at random.
