Do Relic effects stack or compound

[BluIcarys]

Like the title ask. I have a lot of relics at this point, almost all maxed out. If I build 10 archives, would the damage, luxury, or shard effects stack, or is it just one per effect?

Trial Experience Stacks. I only have one Archive but all 4 Plinths have a 150% Trial Experience Bonus giving me 600% total. If I complete all their XP trials, they get max level right away when promoting to Apprentice and I think Staff too.

The 25% chance to do 9 of an element per cast does not stack. Was hoping 4 of them would to give a guarantee to do 9 per cast.

Haven't tested anything else but I'd imagine the Luxury Bonus stacks too.

None of them stack, everyone who says any of them stack hasn't actually empirically tested it.

(Students who have completed all of their trials go straight to max level upon apprenticeship with just a single max level diligence relic, as a point of example.)

You need just 4 archive rooms total in order to slot all possible artifact effects.

Also worth noting that if you do slot more than one of the same type on plinths it doesn't even do what you'd expect and apply "the highest level effect", instead it applies whichever was the most recent one put on a plinth. Though i didn't test whether that remains true if you save/reload the game. It is possible it corrects itself on a reload.

they dont stack

[BluIcarys]

Yea, after building roughly 36 archives and having something like 120 lv 24 maxed out relics, I can say that they do not stack. It doesnt stack regardless of max potential level or current level. It does make for an awesome collection, and it would be great if they could include competiting schools in some fashion so that relics would have a chance to make students join instead of just wandering out of the death mist, that would be cool.

What it even means? What "+9" it gives during the work spell? It upgrades the skill more? So if the staff is already maxed at this element of spell mastery it will not benifit from that?

When anyone does a task, it involves casts of the elemental skill required for that task. How long it takes to finish the task depends on the defined parameter of how much of that magic is required for completion.
The amount of elemental magic per cast is normally equal to the skill level of the mage doing the casting. That relic gives each cast a 25% chance of doing an additional +9. Thus resulting in tasks being completed faster.

For example, when cooking honeyed-stir fry, it requires a total of 48 fire magic to complete a single cooking task. A cook with a skill level of 2 would thus require 24 casts to complete cooking of it.
With that relic, however, that same cook would average 2+.25*9, or 4.25 fire magic per cast on average, and thus would complete the honeyed stir-fry recipe in only 11.3 casts on average, completing the job twice as fast.

all effects are unique and do not stack.

Oh, thanks. So it's not the upgrading the skill itself it's from time to time increse of effectivness. Nice.
