Text Changes in Items Render Them Unstackable

Annalyse - Heavens Tear · February 2014

Two items specifically, teleport stones and teleport incense, have versions that are identical but for font color change which leads to them being unstackable. Both are otherwise in every way the same. It gets really aggravating to have multiple stacks of things just because a color was changed on one of them... there is no need for this and it should be fixed.

I can understand tradeable and not tradeable not stacking but there is no reason why these should not stack.

Exact same thing happens with the two different types of socket stones that are both tradable but take up different item slots because they're considered two different item IDs for.... some.... reason.

Teleport Stones in question would be these two versions.

And Teleport Incense would be These two versions.

I suppose it's not really a bug since they're have two completely different item IDs and the only reason we're able to tell they're different items is minor text differences (otherwise, we'd think they were the exact same item) but... they're functionally the same item with the same restrictions so I'm not even sure why they'd have different item IDs to begin with.

When it comes to the Socket Stones from BH, no idea. The different items such as, say, the Dragon Orb Oceans from the Rollback Fiasco a while back? Likely to prevent the free versions to be tradable in order to prevent a large impact on the economy. The same goes for refine aids, teleport stones, etc.

The real question is why are there two different versions of certain untradable items, such as Teleport Incense or Teleport Stones. Neither version can be traded, so there's really no need for different versions of them as it just causes them to take up more space than they need to. Oh well.

If they aren't able to make them stackable because it's two different IDs then they should just make an NPC where you craft one type into the stackable verisions. $:\$ Space is limited in thsi game and there is no reason why these shouldn't stack. While they are at it, they should also bump up the maximum amount of the stack to 999.

I know with socket stones, the ones you ge from bh are white named and same for the ones you make with tokens if i remember correctly. The only time I have gotten a purple named socket stone was when I did full fc, past BR. But alot of newb just stealth fc to BR and say it's ais a full run when it's a newb run.

Unfortunately, this is not a bug, because they're separate item IDs.
