Runes Stack?

Someone told me runes stack yet i try to equip 2 Runes of wise but it delinks the other one always.

The runes are from 2 different clans and 2 different ranks.

You aren't allowed to have more than 1 of the same rune.

The runes stack on mobs.

According to Glitchless in a previous post on "Auras"...

So I may be taking this out of context but not all runes cause an aura. therefore any of them that do not cause a aura should stack. Unless Glitchless is changing the rules on stacking.

Clarification from Glitchless would be appreciated.

Runes were purposefully made to not be auras, even though some of them have the same effect as auras. Runes will stack with everything and each other - although you can't equip more than 1 of the same type of rune.

why cant you equip more than one of the same type? isn't that how you stack?

It is. You can stack a rune of the wise with a rune of riches and rune of plunder and rune of quicksteel and rune of gemhaste and run of swiftarrow and get the effects of all six.

But equipping six rank 5++ runes of the wise won't work as that exp increase would be fuggin' ridiculous.

But that isn't stacking. That is having different runes...

maybe its the wording but I'm confused....if thats the correct answer then auras stack as well. you can have an aura of sloth and an aura of lethargy an aura of thorns an lucidity, etc...

"Stacking" means having more of the same thing. for instance if you have two things that cause poison damage and they stack. you get both effects. if you have a poison and a disease you wouldnt say they stack because they are not the same effect.

so to say runes "Stack" would mean two of the same types of runes can be in effect at the same time and get the benefit of both.

Please explain this a little better....


we all know auras dont stack. you cannot have two flare up auras and get the effect of both if they are in play together. as in the combination of the two auras.

So if runes DO stack then two runes of wise should be able to be used together and get the benefit of the combination of the two runes.

Perhaps by stack he means the boosts of the runes stack with other similar boosts from non-runes. EXAMPLE:

Quicksteel: Stacks with melee haste aura, as well as Dual Weild skill and whatever else lowers melee delay
Swiftarrow: Stacks with range haste aura, as well as whatever else lowers range delay
Wise: Stacks with... umm... 90% of the learning skills, just about
Plunder: stacks with plunderfiend
Riches: stacks with treasure sense

perhaps it's something like that

The runes (effects) stack on mobs.

Yes, you are- because in this case, this is what you want them to do.

So, your question is answered, and with the with the answer right in front of you what do you do? You ask...

Once again, the effects of runes will stack.

Anyone else here that actually gets to USE runes want to clarify any better?

EDIT: during a "Preview Post", I see that a few ppl have posted. Sorry if I have simply restated a given answer.

You did Tai, pretty much what I said, but in a different way - maybe one of us will get through here!

LOL... I was waiting for a reply from Glitchless... you have your say and you can argue it all you want. Since you don't work for Glitchless then it really doesn't matter. You sure wasted a lot of time and effort on that reply...

It has been previously stated by Glitchless that no player can equip 2 of the same rune.

However, it appears that mobs can use more than 1 of the same rune.

Where was it said that previously? I do not count in-game chat since there is no official record that we can see. except today i haven't seen it posted anywhere. I was just asking for clarification from Glitchless since they are saying that Runes can stack but but then saying you cant have 2 of the same rune... sounds contradictory to me.

yea this is kinda stupid the ONLY way you can stack effects is to equip 2 of the same rune seeing as how no runes have similar effects

i think Jeff needs to make it possible to equip more than 1 of the same type of rune or make it say that same type runes and same type auras dont stack.

so the conclusion from the nod members is.....rune's DONT stack with each other....

I think we need a better explaination from the mod's....

"Runes will stack with everything and each other - although you can't equip more than 1 of the same type of rune."

So if you have two runes that have a similar effect...but not the same rune they will stack? No two runes really have the same effect...So the wording should be "runes stack with everything except other runes"

Mobs can have multiple of the same rune, because they are special.

IIRC it was last week at the earliest, maybe 2 days after runes came out at the latest.

*gives up trying to explain difference between runes and effects*

and for the record sho i've been right about a lot of these things before. glitchless has confirmed it :P
