Heres my question tho, that just says "Flowing thought items stack" but doesnt say anything about the unique stacking method most players remember ( Ft 1+ Ft2 etc ).



More research needs to b done and unfort im at work but that one sentence shouldnt b the death nail in different versions of FT goin at the same time.

Exactly. Needs more research or maybe a Nilbog response. I've done ALOT of research on this and cant find anything definitive [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]((((

If you look at the allakhazam page for FT1
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/s...tml?spell=1298
you will see that someone with a green name and a lot of posts posted in 2003:

"Nope, Flowing Thought does not stack, it takes the highest one available and ignores the rest. So if you have a Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl (FT3), and an Earring of the Solstice (FT1), then the earring isn't doing you and good in the mana regen department.
Edit: Oh, and no, if you have TWO FT1 items, you won't get 2 mana per tick, just once. "

and again in april 2003

"I did some research, as of the January 8th patch, ALL flowing thought items stack with each other, even two of the same level. So 2 FT1 witem will give you 2 mana per tick. You don't even have to pick one of each level."

On that same exact thread you also see this post

ALSO I find it VERY curious that you posted those 2 posts and not the one exactly in the middle of them...your second post is actually a response to the one i just linked.

WTF man?

Sorry man, but you are wrong. FT items stack as long as they are differant types, up to FT15.

FT1+FT2+FT3+FT4+FT5=FT15

So if you have a FT3 and a FT1 then you have FT4.

Alarti is the wizards best hope with his quest for some semblance of mana regen.

Stick to your guns and make people prove it didnt stack in the unique method that many remember. I think the biggest problem is the era in which we are trying to pinpoint there was not alot of items in the game to test this. It was always well known multiple FT1 s did not stack. But there was like 2-3 other items that even had a higher ft TO STACK WITH. So if basically no one had two of these items to test before Luclin its veru hard to say if they stacked or overwrote. Those patch noted could simply refer to the era when it didnt matter if it was multiple instances of the same FT stacking ( which is mentioned in that alla post having many of same type to stack up).

Think ab the nature of the effect, why have thrm conviently add up to the hardcap if they didnt stack one on top of another so u had to seek out one of each FT type to b capped.

Velious only mostly offers FT1 so this may b moot but it is basically the holy grail of effects for casters in our classic trilogy would b nice if it worked properly.

I actually remember it just being top FT being it.. SO Ft1+Ft2+Ft3=Ft3

But my memory is subject to time, persuasion, and second-hand information.

That is how I remember it also. You could have every single FT item possible, but whichever FT was the highest, was what you got.

Post count doesn't determine accuracy. Don't leave out information... the point of research is to gather ALL relevant information and compare for the most accurate.

Well i remember specifically having to stack FT1 + FT2 + FT3 to get to FT6. I also remember that FT1+FT1 did not = FT2. As to at what point in time I remember this, I couldn't give you a definitive date [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
