Multiple stacks of specialists?

[BustedHipGaming]

What happens if you put several stacks of 1900xArmsmaster on the same weapon? Do you get the effects of all of it, or just one stack?

Add up all Armsmasters in all slots in all equipped items. Round down to 1900. That's the total which'll do you any good. So if you have two stacks at 1900, it's entirely pointless to assign them to the one character.

The same thing goes for all the other "gain" specialists, only the total cap for those is 300 each, as opposed to 1900.

What about the ones that give stats like +ATK?

[Kuugenthefox]

Stats are the only specialists that have no effective cap regarding how many you can have on the character
armsmaster caps at 1900 per character, statisticans, managers, brokers, at 300 per character, etc

Is there a way to break a stack? Let's say you have a stack of 350 Brokers. Can you strip 50 away somehow to use them elsewhere?

No.

Also bear in mind that when levelling an item, the stat gains you get on defeating the Generals/Kings/Gods are increased depending on the number of slots which contain stat-boosting specialists. The number of specialists in each slot doesn't matter, the number of slots filled does. Keep this in mind before merging everything you get.

So let me see if I understand this: You get something extra defeating the "every 10 levels" bosses in the Item World for every slot you have that contains specialists that increase stuff like ATK and SP and such?

Yes. The bonuses correspond to the specialist types, so eg assigning lots of slots some Gladiators will net you more Attack in the end.

Well, crap. I had no idea that beating Item generals and such improved your stats. DOH.
