Icon[edit]

I'm pretty sure I recognise the icon this effect uses, but is there a way to see icons already on the wiki? I'm having difficulty locating a resource like that. User Judas Sig.pngudas 11:13, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Icons are categorized by group, so hopefully if we already use this icon for another effect, it would be in Category:Effect icons. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 12:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Also lol, probably its in User:Darqam/Dat Icons. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 12:42, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
It's actually on neither page, it just looked similar to something else I guess. Here an image. User Judas Sig.pngudas 12:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Looks like an emoticon. SarielV 20 x 20px 16:13, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
Uploaded it from the comment on the project's talk page and came here to duplicate the comment. Looks like the icon first appeared around Silverwaste era, so it's probably a duplicate of some effect from around then. Can't remember what exactly so until then it gets it's own file. -Darqam 16:15, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Maximum number of stacks[edit]

So far I've been able to get 12 stacks, but there isn't a specified maximum. Should this be treated similarly to items that drop in different quantities where we constantly update the maximum number of stacks? Sythe 17:43, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Doing a little research on this effect atm. You receive stack from both the power-up event (ferrying essences) and the defend events (defeat wraith, drake, spider, gorilla). You receive only a stack if you are in the area when the event succeeds; so if you use the shrines to warp around to participate in all events, you won't get a stack of this effect if an event succeeds on the other end of the map even if you participated. So far my max stacks has been 18. Stacks refresh every time you get them (event is on a 30 minute cycle), but you do seem to lose stacks after some amount of time (at the moment I believe around 2 hours and 15 min after you got a stack) even if you refresh them. User Judas Sig.pngudas 12:52, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Confirmed that stacks disappear after 2 hours and 15 min. So there's no hard cap, but a theoretic maximum of 40 stacks (participating in all 8 possible events every 30 min over the course of 2 hours), although obviously this is practically impossible to achieve. User Judas Sig.pngudas 13:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Disregard, I wasn't taking into consideration the time it takes between powering down and finishing all the powerup. Instead of the 2h15m, it was approx 1h45m, but only because of the time between events increasing by a couple of min to finish the power up. So the stacks properly last 2 hours. User Judas Sig.pngudas 18:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Interesting... I'm inclined to try and get the map to run in a circle for maximum stacks for each meta - which should be 8 - but sadly, new maps often lack coordination. I suppose my next step is to see if I can try to hit the practical cap and stay there. :P Sythe 19:39, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

"Luck"?[edit]

What is "luck"? Magic find? Or something new that works different? --92.218.163.209 14:58, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
