XP boost stacking?

So will the XP boosts stack?

Ring of Mara= +10% XP
ESO:TU Sub= +10% XP

Does that mean that character will have a 20% XP boost? If not, that would kind of make the Ring of Mara useless for subscribers...

Are there any other means of overall XP boosts in ESO?

    Great question about XP boost stacking. Could an ESO Plus member use a Ring of Mara while being under Enlightenment? Would that be at least a 30% XP boost or even more?

    Most likely all stacking will be nerfed into the ground without warning like Nights Silence and Dark Stalker.

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. a 10% bonus isn't all that much but 30% bonus is.

    Even 20% would be noticeable and I don't see how they can not allow the Ring of Mara and the Subscriber bonus to stack.

    Ring of Mara is as I recall BOP meaning only one character EVER on an account can use it so this really isn't an issue, in the great scheme of things is it, especially as I suspect the vast majority of players who intend to use one have already done so?

    The character I used the Ring of Mara on is used EXCLUSIVELY to play with a friend of mine and we get to play... at most... 5 hours a week. So it's slow progression there. We're currently mid-20s as far as levels go.

    Due to us BOTH buying the Imperial Collectors pre-order editions... I have an extra Ring of Mara. It's just sitting in my bank waiting to be used or accidentally junked. lol.

    Anyway, point it. There are players out here that still have the blasted thing to use!

    Interesting to know if this will work but not a lot of max level people will use it as it will break up their sets as the ring uses a slot.

    I believe they already said it will accumulate up to the next CP point. So no indefinite accumulation as far as I know.

    A 10% + Rings of Mara is a lot, though Rings of Mara is not something we can use all the time so well, it's acceptable. I just wish there are no boosts on the crown shop for sale. Way more than enough as it is.

    Thats a very good question, I would also be interested in knowing this answer, because if its not stacked, its just another thing ZOS did to thrust the middle finger to its older customer base.

    Hey folks! The ESO Plus bonus can indeed be combined with the Rings of Mara. And don't forget that there's the grouping bonus as well. So, yes, the bonuses do stack. Hope that helps.

    I was under the impression that most people use rings o' mara already. I used it with my wife, but because she played less then me we broke up (ingame) and i used other rings. So for me the rings where useless anyway, but it was a nice extra. Still have them for sentimental values.

    @ZOS_JanS but does the ESO Plus XP bonus stack with the Crown Store XP boost? Because IMO it shouldn't.

    Hi @ZOS_JanS‌

    Can you answer how "Enlightenment" works? Do you gain XP faster while Enlightened and that gets you Champion Points faster? Or do you gain XP at same rate, but amount of XP needed for a Champion Point is lower while Enlightened? I probably play too much to be Enlightened, but still curious...

    Ring of Mara only works when both players are wearing the ring and are in a group together (and possibly need to be in the same zone). We were grinding with a friend and in an hour the difference was an extra 56k exp per hour last night for the two of us wearing RoM vs our friend without a ring.

    That said.....I am not sure the exp is as big a buff as it seems (losing the equipment slot is painful for my build, not 10% painful though).

    If stacked with TU+ that would be 112k per hour extra and if buffed with enlightenment (4x exp???) Then it is an extra 448k exp per hour bonus....seems noticable...especially for cp farming (which some will probably do).

    A lot of bound items can be put in the bank and transfered to another character. Not sure if Rings of Mara can be banked, but bound usually means bound to account, not bound to character

    HI @ZOS_JanS. Thanks for the clarification :)
    Can you clarify if the bonus will be multiplicative or additive.
    In other words, will 2 X 10% XP bonuses result in a 20% or 21% XP bonus total?

    Hey! XP boosts stack additive. No need to make things overly complicated. ;)
    So 2*10% XP bonus results in 20% total.
