Be forewarned (save you ADs) -- Eldritch runestones do not stack at present

Have submitted a bug ticket, wanted to warn others so you don't spend 100,000 ADs on Eldritch runestones for your companion only to find out they don't stack.

Added two Level 3 Eldritch Runestones to my companion, each say they add a 5% of the Companion's stats to my own. However when I summon the companion, I only see 5% total, not 5% x 2 (i.e., 10%) of the Companion's stats added.

Developer 1: 10% or 15% of a lvl 10 character's stats -- great idea.
Developer 2: Oh, wait, the runes don't stack.
Developer 3: And the lvl 10 companion's stats are already gimped.
Developer 1: Not fun.

... would like a refund, because the other sad thing is your companion's stats do not represent stats *anywhere similar* to the same stats you had as a character of a similar level ...

:eek:

    Yeah, would be nice if it told you what stacked, i learned by noticing that two of the same didn't change my character sheet info, when i was near cap. :\

    Although, i'm not sure why you would pay so much AD for any level 3 runes, they are easy to find or fuse from lower level ones. The failure rate for fusing at those levels is so low that you're better off just doing that. Once you get to level 4 or 5 ones, those i'd pay AD for, trying to fuse to 6 and higher is almost impossible without the store items.

    Added: I do wish there was a window you could return items from vendors, made a few bone headed choices with AD and the bars from boxes, and would be a nice feature.

    +1 Agree wholeheartedly... while in most games I would say "it's just digital", it gets a bit more personal when you're potentially spending money :-)

    Also your main Char the experience bonus doesnt stack you will only ever get 1 stack! I have found that the companions get more powerful after about 12th level my rock companion now solos bosses and hangs ten for a while!

    Ouch, two purple Eldritch runestones in my companion :( Guess I'll have a closer look when I'm back in-game and submit a ticket depending on what I find.

    Thanks for the post/info.

    I thought it stacks so long as you have stone of different levels? eg. 1x rank 6, 1x rank 5, 1x rank 4..

    That works with the Character XP bonus stones, not sure about any others.

    Thank you for the heads up. How come I'm not getting any summon bonus though?
