BOOSTS GUIDE

📋 HOW BOOSTS WORK

Boosts of the same kind do NOT stack — the game uses the highest equipped

ExampleCape of Awe (25% Rep) + Dark Summoner armour (15% Rep) = 25% Rep total

However, consumable boosts, server boosts, and gear boosts all stack with each other

💡Best time to farm: align a server boost + consumable boost + gear boost simultaneously

Damage Boosts
Two boosts of the same type don't stack, BUT

→ A boost to All CAN stack with a boost to a specific tagged enemy type

ExampleVoid Warlock Armour (25% All) + BLoD (75% Undead)
= 118.75% extra damage vs Undead, 25% vs everything else
Why 118.75%? (Multiplicative Stacking)

Boosts are calculated multiplicatively, not additively:

→ 1.25 × 1.75 = 2.1875 = 118.75% extra damage

⚠️Damage boosts do NOT affect DoTs or HoTs
