"eating" tomes

[Sogrin]

Quick question on tomes for wehn i get higher level.

if you, for example, eat a +1 tome, then find a +2 tome what happens when you try to eat it?

1: It does not work and stuck with the +1 tome
2: It does work, and increases it by the difference (i.e from +1 bonus to +2 bonus)
3: It does work, and stacks with previous tomes

from what i can see from the vets in F2P forums here i am guessing 2, but just want clarification.

ty in advance

Increases from +1 to +2.

So option two, you are correct.

Number 2 is correct. They do not stack so if you eat a +1 tome and then later a +2 tome then your bonus will be +2.

In general in D&D "like" bonuses do not stack, you get the benefit of the best of the two

I had a related question, as I have seen this answer a number of times, but not my question.

If you have 18 strength and you eat a +1 Stength tome, your STR increases to +1.
Now, you eat a +2 WIS tome.
Does your STR stay 19 and your WIS go up by 2? Or Does your STR drop by 1 (to 18) and your WIS goes up by 2?

Eating a tome of one ability type (wis) will have no effect on your other abilities (str, con, dex, cha, int).

But dont go into the water for at least 30 mins after you eat a tome or you will get cramps and drown. Ive seen it, its very ugly.

Unless you are WF, and then you just get rusty and cranky!:D



Tomes are independant of each other and for specific stats. You will find that many long time players have "eaten" tomes for all 6 stats.
