Question About Item Level Without Penalty

[Sacred Ace 0]

I was reading the charts on the website for weapon/armor skills. I wasn't sure how it was listing the Item Level Without Penalty progression, so I'll ask here. From what I understand, you only need to have a skill level(say sword weapons) up to level 100 and your character to be level 200 in order for you to use level 250 items in that skill. Is this correct? I always assumed you had to be level 200 with a 200 skill level in order to use level 250 items, but if the ILWP level increase is always half of the amount of points in that skill, you would only need to take it to level 100 in order to have a ILWP of +50 your level.

Take it to mastery(75 points) and leave it there, and use +skills to raise it further, and you will be able to use the max level without penalties.
