Actually the INT cap is 7x Level. I'd say you're still doing pretty good but theres definitely some room for improvement.

Actually Int cap = (7 x lvl) + 20...I've tested this out, and any int at my current lvl over 440 is useless. Sadly I am almost capped for T7 content with 483 int... SMILEY

Heh.  No he wouldn't.   At lvl 25 I was 4 points over my cap.  All my gear was treasured or lower (minus hex dolls).  All you have to do is put some time and effort in to looking for the right gear.

 

And if you're wondering, yes, I did keep a record of my int as I leveled.  It's my hobby.  Currently I'm at 412 and I still have a few levels to pound back.

uhm .. nope .. I have a level 28 necro with a 177 INT and not a single piece of fabled or legendary gear on him .. I also have a 26 wizzy with 201 INT and only one legendary piece on his head the rest is treasured or lower ..

 

you just need to take the time and you can reach your cap without fabled gear ..

Treasured = quested.  Write down the name of the item you see on someone else then go to Ogaming.  It's what I've done.  I'll never buy what I can get myself.

Some big ints being posted.  I've done a lot of quests and am always looking for int items.  I'm level 27 although gear hasn't changed from 25.  My int base is 117 (not including that int/wis buff).  So yours is not far off from a just playing the class and collecting what I can get.  This char has also recieved no help from my other characters.

Here is my equipment (Kurious)

No dolls, all quested/dropped

Using MaddBomber83 as a comparison.
 
The series in Nek forest (starts at the docks) is a great source of int gear. +5 int belt.  +8 int necklace.  On top of that there's the new AQ quests where the pants (+SMILEY and robe (+9) are roughly what a lvl 50 robe would of had as stats a long time ago.
 
Drops from Tomb of the necromancer (Nek forest)
  1. Slippers of the necromancer +10 int (I used these until 52 when I upgraded to GEB)

Thundering Steppes

  1. Blerton's letter opener +7 int (first mail quest)

Nek Forest

  1. Web covered cowl +5 int (mob drop)
  2. Skull of hate +4 int (Looted quest starter)

Stormhold

  1. Cuffs of the storm schollar +7 int  X2 (I used an alt to get a second cuff) (Do the crushed librarian's quest)
  2. Orb of tainted Souls +4 int (Not sure how it starts)

 

That's a few examples of just quested stuff.  +74 int from the stuff I mentioned.  The secondary and ranged item's are weak, but it was all that I could remember.  I know there's better, I had +14 with primary and secondary (before the ranged slot items were added).
