Question about Wanderer's fortune.

Does it stack ? because usually, equipping more than one mount with the same insignia bonus decreases the percentage, but not for Wanderer's Fortune.
I was wondering if the mount bonus added up on other ones.

There's probably not much value in doing so as more than a trial. With the rapid-fire procs and long cooldown after hitting an undisclosed target, increasing the drop rate would probably only serve to make it useful for an even shorter period.

Just assumption on my part, but it works so well on one mount if your playing style doesn't involve marathons with a single character, it doesn't really seem worth messing with.

Like all bonuses, it stacks, but at diminishing returns. The listed percentage for one copy is 4%. With 2 copies it's 4.2%.

Of course we still don't really know what that percentage even means, as it's clearly not a standard roll. I came up with a theory in a bug reports thread that in principle reproduces observations, but it'd take way too much data to actually verify anything without a Cryptic dev coming in and giving a complete detailing.

What does not make sense though, is that other % from insignia bonuses seem to decrease the more you have multiple copy of them, for instance = Protector's camaraderie, with one bonus, gives 3% X 4 possible stacks.
If you add a second mount that has the same bonus, then the 3% will become 1.5 or 2% and increase for each added mount until 3.5% if you have 5.

I'd like to get an official answer about this, because this is not clear at all how insignia bonuses work together...

They do have diminishing returns. It is intentional. There is a pattern to it although not all work in exactly the same way. rgutscheradev posted an explanation of the basic formula for most back when the system was fairly brand new, though he didn't have all the details because it wasn't his project.

from 4% (with one) to 4.2 % (with two) is worse than a diminishing return, it's not even worth getting it, you might as well get a different bonus.
I understand with it does not stack from 4% to 8% with 2 mounts, but , come on , 0.2% ? really?
