Well i was stacking my items differently on my character "carnage" and noticed by stacking it in different ways i would get more than 200 hp pluss or is this 200 hp i was missing?

now i have 2103 hp and 355 defence, by stacking it differently i can get 2020 hp 2063 hp 1998 hp.
i stacked them and made a list about how i could stack for highest amount hp gain.

Spirit dragon axe
Aurelian platemail
Argent belt
Devine aegis
Aurelian gloves
6 bjs
Helm of spite

This is my recipe for 2103 hp, put your items the same way and see if you get the same results, i stacked mine after their abilities though.

and i now found the only reason im 26 is because helm of spite gives me an ability level

This is in the issues list, though I'm not sure that it's something that Karl wants to fix. The problem is that all of the %HP/MP items give you a % bonus based on your modified HP/MP, not your base. So if you have, say 100 HP, an item (A) that gives you +50 HP, and an item (B) that gives you +10% HP, if you stack (A) then (B) you'll have 165 HP, but if you stack (B) then (A), you'll have 160 HP.

With the Bejewled Rings, this can make quite a difference.

I should note--I haven't tested this in a while: it could have been fixed without me noticing.

My brother and I have been discussing this. Personally, I like that an item's effects are compounded. Let's say you have two kinds of rings: one kind that gives +% HP and another that gives +% speed. If you have 5 +%HP rings, the 6th % hp ring is worth a LOT more than the first; similarly, a sixth+%speed ring is worth more than the first 5--and mixing/matching rings may let you spread out a bit, but you won't get half the benefit with half the rings. You'll get less than half, so it encourages characters to go all-out.

However, the problem that Joe mentioned is not easily solved without sorting your inventory every time your avatar's equipment changes. I guess I'll just make it do % of base values then and not compound...

I like the compounding a lot myself (it's a simple reward for the thinking player, the kind of thing we want to encourage, right?), I just wanted to make sure that it was intentional.

im actually quite entertained with the idea and the way a player has to think to be able to do this, he actually has do to his own experiments like i do, like f.ex when i tested sorting my storage, i dont really know but i think im duplicating items by taking items inn and out inn a certain manner.

BTW keep the stacking of items, its nice to have people on square experimenting, this way square will never be boring.

Ok, I'll keep items stacking. I just got the impression that it generally wasn't appealing, but if that's not the case then I'm glad it's staying

I also like the idea of having different stacks, because 1 might add more hp, but antoher stack will help your def it's a balance of what u want with the same gear. It'd be nice as a new player to know about this.... i went from 360 hp to like 562 or so which was a huge jump for a mage. Although I love my hp now in comparison.
