Knightmare 1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I tried doing a search but nothing came up. I am a Shadow Warrior and have a 25.7% xp boost from gear and whenever I use a potion of the mentor it effects are not being applied. Now I know that the 10% xp from Dragon Mage overrides all other sources of xp boost but I was under the impression that gear boosts stack with potions am I mistaken or what? I am using CM patch 1.5 Link to comment

Silver_fox 397 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 In I&B, Experience bonus on gear does NOT stack with anything else. If you have this bonus somewhere on your equipment, the mentor potions and hero statues won't provide their temporary buff for you. If you want to be drinking potions, just remove all experience gear and potions would work again. So it's a matter of choice - whether you prefer to stack constant experience bonus on equipment or use temporary boost from potions. However, this bug is exclusive to the expansion. If you play the original Fallen Angel or the console version of the game, mentor potions and hero statues stack with gear bonuses without any trouble. This bug was reported many times, but sadly it can't be fixed without access to the game's source code, which is why CM Patch never resolved this issue. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted November 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2014 If I remember right this bug is actually the result of an official "fix" for an exploit whereby you could prolong the XP bonus from hero statues indefinitely by continuing to drink mentor potions. In fixing it, I suppose they were a little ham-handed and the result was that +XP bonuses from different sources don't stack. This is one reason why I despise the modifier and try to avoid it in all of my mods. 3 Link to comment
