Patch Notes: NW.45.20150416c.4
Refinement: Stacks of items may now be slotted instead of individual items. Up to five stacks of refinement items may be used at one times. The estimated total RP value of the stack is displayed when slotted and the actual total value (crits) is displayed when Refined.

Just thought I would share what I consider to be one of the best quality of life improvements in the game in the last year, this comes out in tomorrows patch. Enjoy.

    It was something they should've included not long after RP was first introduced.
    It's not like this is a difficult process.

    However, depending on what RP you're using, crits save time and money. What they did was code the entire stack like 1 item instead of just iterating through the stack for separate crit rolls.

    It's lazy and most developers would hang someone who did that.
    Broken mechanics, broken class designs, lack of actual content, and over zealous, bronze-age moderation?

    You're kidding, they're not that lame, are they??

    However, if chance of a crit is – let's assume – 34‰ on a stack of n with refinement points r, than it doesnt matter:

    n × r × (1+34‰) ⇔ Σ (1…n) (r × (1+34‰))

    in the long run, it won't matter if you do it individually or with full stacks. You,ll average to the same.

    How do you know? When I read the patch notes, that's exactly what I imagined, that the items can still crit individually and the total number we see is all crits added up. I guess we'll see after the patch.

    Regardless if the crit chance is the same it should average out the same as an entire stack would crit instead of just one
