You can't go over 39%... Am I missing something, or is this a good idea? (Inb4 "penetration mastery" jokes) Oops didn't really mean to put this in gameplay & balance...gotta love these glitchy forums...but I guess this works
ProfDrDeath3 votesYou're missing the fact that penetration from masteries is stacking multiplicatively with items, not additively.
Meaning, with both 3 points of the mastery and Last Whisper, they effectively have 0.65 * 0.94 = 0.611 = 61.1% of their armor. Meaning, you penetrate 38.9% of their Armor.

Whenever I go 3 in the mastery (6%) + 35% from item I always end up with 39%... I'm just asking here. I don't claim to be correct, lol
FyshinaTux1 votesOh, then yea, they stack multiplicitively (I know, it's misspelled...), not additively

Alright thanks, lol...
Poptart Evelynn1 votesThere is no cap, if you're reading wiki it's referring to maximum through items that you can get.
67chrome1 votesLike others have said, armor penetration stacks multiplicativly.
If you have 50% + 50% armor penetration, you get 75% armor penetration. The first 50% penetrates 50% of the targets armor. The second 50% penetrates 50% of the target's remaining armor.
As for the graphical user display showing 39% or 39% regardless of a 1 point mastery difference - the graphic user display in most games rounds information. Seeing as runes (and per level stats) go down to thousandths (or previously 4 decimal places in Sion's AD scaling), it's safe to assume attribute bonuses that go into decimal places are indeed factored into formulas.
