Stacking identical artifacts?

[Merry Jolkar]

Do magic boosts of a given kind stack? For example, do two Water Bracelets give one commander +2 water?
Thanks, Merry

No, identical artifacts wont stack, but 2 seperate items that provide the same bonus do. If you had a ring of wizardry and a ring of sorcery on one commander it would give +1 to all elemental paths and +2 to all sorcery paths for example.

Last I knew, there was a bug about the stacking items. If the two items arn't in adjacent inventory slots (like a hag with 4 misc. slots) they do stack. So you could equip ROS, ROW, ROS, ROW for +2 elemental / +4 sorcery.

oh can you stack 2 dwarfen hammers + the hammer of the forge lord then on a nataraja with 4 arm slots too and get 2x +25% and 1x +50% forge bonus when you use them your suggested way : dwarfen hammer , hammer of the forge lord , dwarfen hammer ?

Or stack the hammer of the dwarf lords with the cyclops hammer for 100% (on a natarajah of course???)

Probably would have poor paths but free forging = funny

It is not 100 -50 -50 but 100*0.5*05. And it never ever drops below 1 gem in all paths involved.

Yeah . but when an item costs 80 gems and the costs drop to 5 gems or so this is nice

would 2 dwarfen hammers + the hammer of the forge lord arranged in my above suggested order give 2 times 25% forge bonus for the 2 dwarfen hammers or only once ?

is the cyclops hammer 1 or 2 handed ?

Well the forge of the ancients is certanly a seperate halving before the others but a master smith ADDS his bonus to that of the item he is using - 75 % with the hammer of the dwarfen lords for example so this is certainly worth speculating about!

(Hmm if only I could get a Cyclops hammer to go with my smiths & hammers & forge)

Johann, I love you and want to have your babies, but this is incorrect. I have posted before detailing how you can forge for free. (Unfortunately, the current forum searching function has caused me to give up after about 15 minutes of careful rephrasing.)
You can forge items for 0 gems under certain circumstances, and you dont even need a Smith for it. (Steel Ovens or similar, FotA, Hammer will do.)

Thanks, Ighalli, for the helpful information.

Can you stack things like Endless Bags of Wine on a single commander with a large force?
