Question Armor of Awe

[kingsmin]

Does the armor of awe set stack? Like if you have Armor of Awe and Cape of Awe you get 50% rep class exp?

[ELGDMV]

It does on the test server, but not the regular servers.

Items cap out at 50% if they aren't related*, aka 25% gold, xp, etc. + another 25% gold, xp, etc would already reach your limit.
* = not verified, might work with item sets.

Does the armor of awe set stack?

No not at all. Although I wish it was like that (or maybe they're changing it in the future IDK cause it seems pointless unless you are a completionist or like the awe set to get the aoa when you could just get the cape which is much easier or get ONE of the items from the AFDL set which is probably much cooler and gives 25% for gold, rep, exp, CP, and a 15% dmg increase to all monsters as well

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do boosts from gear stack?
A: No, You will only benefit from the last item of each type of boost you equip. So for example if you equip a +5% experience armour first, then equip a +3% experience cape, you're only going to benefit from the +3% bonus and not any experience gear boost from before.

However, different boosts can be used together (ex: reputation boost from cape, damage boost from weapon, gold boost from helm) and active timed boosts will stack with gear boosts.

On regular servers, what @Edgy_Name quoted from FAQ is correct. I've experience that they do stack, multiplicatively, on PTR servers. Using the set of awe + DoomBlade of Destruction I was getting 18x boost.

Same here, but I used the whole AFDL set.
Can vouch this is true.

Is this a perma thing for the servers?

[Play_N_Hack]

Alina has said in the past that they'd like to do it, so if they can get it working to how they like then I would believe so....I highly doubt, though, that they want people getting a 18x boost LOL

Well this ruins the point of the ArchFiend DoomLord doesn't it?

What do you mean by ruins the point?

How? AFDl set does the same boosts like Awe set but also a 15% dmg increase too.

So with everything in the AFDL set, you should get x2 increase on CP, DMG, Rep, and EXP so long as everything stacks.

[ELGDMV]

Yeah, when people farm/"farm" the shit out of AFDL, you'd think you want to cash in on it. AoA and AFDL have roughly the same (insane) difficulty of getting for normal players, so I would think AE should reward their efforts with the boosts stacking.

I see, well that's true, one of the main differences or perks I could point out is the design and difficult quest path.
Maybe they have plans for it in the future?

[Atheoi]

AQW is way too saturated with so many cosmetic items - AFDL is another example of that. In my opinion, I don't even find boosts that attractive.

[Play_N_Hack]

The boosts for having 4 items @ 25% boost is a stacked total of 6x on the PTR servers. On regular servers, however, boosts of the same type do not stack BUT boosts of different types DO combine.

Ex.
If you are using an AFDL item (not the blade) + BLoD you get a bigger boost against Undead, but the 15% against all.
The boosts are also multiplicative, so it's 1.15 (AFDL item) * 1.50 (BLoD) = 1.725 total damage against Undead. (or 0.725% extra damage against Undead).
