SIB after maxing a weapon

[Wingpool]

Hey

Im not sure where to post this so I post this here.

I have a weapon that is from your planet, [Ranked Combat Knife], and I just maxed it. Back in VU 14.3 there was a change to weapons, specifically this:

Learning period Skill Increase Bonus (SIB) has been extended for several levels after mastering an item.
​

I could not test this back then because I only just very recently maxed this weapon. Currently my levels are 39.36 Knifefighter (Hit) and 38.74 Knifefighter (Dmg) and as far as I know this weapon was maxed at 38. Both Hit and Dmg profession show Not Anymore for SIB on the weapon. I sent a support ticket ingame, but they told me to contact you guys because you got full control over the item.

My question is very simple, is there SIB after maxing the knife? and is it working as intended?

Thanks for reading

Looks right to me:

Recommended Level:35 Levels
Maxed:38 Levels

You "Master" the item at level 35

Ok, but the part about "(SIB) has been extended for several levels after mastering an item"? As far as I know, SIB always was from 35-38. Where is the SIB extension?

maybe its not all weapons, ive noticed the ark shortblades have 6 lvl's before maxed, damage/hit seems to max after 5 but SIB stays, but the attacks/minute takes another 3/4 lvl
