Do Azure Gemstone stack?

Title says it all. I tried stacking them, but couldn't get the #'s to change on my character sheet to go above 4%, even with multiple Azures slotted. Yet I found posts from the Closed Beta forums saying to stack these & get 12% exp bonus.

Did this get changed/nerfed, or do the #'s not report correctly?

    It depends on what type of slot you are putting it into. XP is only for utility slots. Defense and Offense slots have other bonuses.

    Yes, I know they're only for Utility. I've slotted multiple Rank 3 Azures into Utility slots, and the Exp Bonus listed in my stats doesn't go above 4%. Yet I have read in Closed Beta threads that they stacked.

    Does anyone know if this has changed w/ OB?

    It could be a display issue. I noticed that MANY things that have multiple 'ranks' only display information for one rank. Like, I think it was one of the passive icons that listed +5 something-or-other... and yet I had THREE ranks, which should have been +15 instead of just +5... so the DISPLAY tooltips are inaccurate at least.

    Thanks, braxzana. I'll go back to slotting 3x Azures then & give that a shot.

    I just noticed this earlier as well. I have 2 R5 Azure enchants slotted for a total of 10% exp gain but my character stats only say 5% (0 + 4) on mouse over.

    Have you noticed a difference in the exp gained to see if it is stacking?
    The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.

    I intend to test it when I get home from work later. Kill 2 pack of identical mobs with & without the enchants, and compare the exp value gained.

    Different ranks stack (3.5% + 4% = 7.5%), multiple versions of the same rank do not stack.

    I noticed something odd yesterday, i had two +5 items, and my sheet only said +5. Put a +4.5 (think that was the value, could have been a 4) one in an item, and my sheet then said +9.5. O_o
    Maybe it's a display issue or for some reason exact bonuses aren't being shown or counted.

    edit: I was too slow, just saw the above,

    I just tried it with a single Rank 3 Azure enchantment (+4%) in my boots. A pack of mobs was 125 xp.

    I tried it with two Rank 3 Azure Enchantments (+8%), one in boots & one in hat. The same pack of mobs was again 125 xp.

    Then just to be thorough I removed BOTH Azure enchantments (+0%), and tried again. Same pack of mobs was now 120 xp.

    So there you have it. 1 XP enchantment works, 2 or more do not stack. Or there are certain pieces of equipment bugged.

    edit: saw the earlier post about different ranks stacking. Will try that later.

    I have 2 azure enchantments rank 1 slotted, one in my head slot and one in my arms slot. Rank 1 azure should give a 3% boost, but when I check my character sheet, the XP bonus is 3% instead of 6%.

    1 azure rank 1, 1 azure rank 2. Character sheet shows 6.5% bonus XP

    Will check tonight with a sample mob, to make sure its not just a display bug.

    Using a rank 1, a rank 2, and a rank 3 in three different items together. Display shows +10.5% XP

    I always used ones with different values. With the one quest chest that has a utility slot you can actually get a teens % exp boost.

    why would you even need an xp boost. this game already levels way too fast. still definitely broken based on the results above.

    Either way, fixed in the next update:

    "Azure Enchantments now properly stack their XP Boost if multiple of the same rank are slotted in Utility slots."
