[quote=Meradine Heidenreich]The Wiki lists Monstrous Anatomy Studies as the way to raise the cap on the quality to 7. I actually have the higher cap, but am pretty sure I haven’t fried that many little fishies and three albatrosses for the pleasure. I did wonder whether it was a perk of being a Monster-Hunter. Anyone know?

You sure that you have higher cap, not higher actual value? Cap defines, how much your stat can possibly be after some trainings, when you are fully naked; with some items (including Monster-Hunter spear and ribcage jacket from Hinterlands) you can have more than that cap.
It works same way as with usual stats, although "training" can be harder. For example, my Watchful capped at 218 right now, but it is 307 (307/218 if you look at icon) because of my extensive wardrobe giving me extra 89 points. No matter how much watchful tasks I do, it wouldn’t raise higher. Soon enough I may be able to raise cap to 230 (probably), but it wouldn’t automatically add 12 points to stat - it would just open possibility to train more to get those 12 levels extras. So, after getting cap I’ll become 307/230, after lot of training - probably 319/230.
