So....is it normal ambrosia doesnt stack with the cake?

We're trying to confirm if this is intended or not.

All XP boost restrictions will be lifted during the anniversary week, so you'll be able to stack everything (just not with itself).

because thats what i saw in another thread as well , so im really confused lol

"We want to make sure you're ready for this special event – read below for all the details:

The event will begin at 7:30pm EDT on April 3, and conclude at 7pm EDT on April 10. Everyone will be able to participate, regardless of platform or megaserver.
When you first log in, you'll be presented with an announcement screen informing you of a free voucher for a cake in the Crown Store.
Once you open the Crown Store and retrieve the voucher, your quest – Ache For Cake – will begin.
After the quest is complete, you'll receive your reward – a Jubilee Cake, which will be placed in your Mementos collection.
You and anyone in your group will be able to enjoy the cake and receive a 100% XP buff. This buff stacks with all other XP buffs!
Once the week is over, you'll retain the cake as a special keepsake but its magic will be gone."

But OK, I understand, U will fix it next week with Tuesday's patch, right?

barrrt · April 2016

Just tested.... killing a wolf (at vet 10) 45XP without cake, 82XP (?) with cake. I am + subscriber, so it looks like without 10% it would have been 41XP? So cake does not appear to stack with ESO+.

Glaiceana · April 2016

Anyone else get the title of your Helmet as the name of the quest when you first open it?

Jaronking · April 2016

I have a question if I do the quest on my main will my low level alts be able to use the cake or will have have to do the quest on my low levels as well?

Yep, but i have some kind of "light version" of the quest...

lol...

Distillateur · April 2016

So it is intended that the buff, when taken out of Cyro, falls off when entering Cyro? I thought you said it would be available if consumed outside of Cyrodiil before entering?

The cake goes into your collections page, and any character on your account can then use it

You'll need to eat it outside of Cyrodiil, but the buff should be active once you go into a PvP area. Is that not what you're seeing?

Correct.
Eating before entering Cyro - on Cyro map buff still exists/active(with countdown) in stats details page, so it should work (in theory, because not tested in action myself).

Ajaxduo · April 2016

not stacking

hotfix pl0x.

Kwivur · April 2016

My lvl 33 alt is getting 432 xp per kill with the cake and 432 xp with cake and ambrosia... These maths are wrong. Why is it not stacking?

barrrt · April 2016

And it looks ambrosia might be overriding the cake (maybe because I used it last?).... as I mentioned above I got less than 50% of a vet level from turning in 20 quests with cake and ambrosia active. Now on another toon (also v10), I got 17% of a vet level from 4 quests, when only cake is active.

ya seriously lol some ppl bought crown scrolls and other such things cuz we assumed it would stack.

Mojmir · April 2016

hot bars getting reset from eating cake too

Runs · April 2016

The buff has randomly stopped working a few times. Eating another piece of cake will bring it back.

Edit - Not random... Looks like there were deaths that cause it.

Ashtaris · April 2016

Another problem I found is if you die, then the Cake XP bonus is removed. So as long as you don't die in a boss fight or by mobs, which never happens right?, then you will be OK!

Yolokin_Swagonborn · April 2016

Never use a messy recipe ZOS. The cake will end up crazy.

Tha same on Cyrodiil. If u die - no buff bonus. If U wanna buff again, U need to go out from Cyro, buff up, and back to Cyro map...

Immortal_Dark410 · April 2016

So guessing no update on whether theirs going to be a fix for the non stacking of Ambrosia / Crown store XP scrolls with Cake buff

Paulington · April 2016

Yep, it's clearly intended to all stack because of what Gina said. Still waiting.

Also, it's only boosting base mob XP as far as I can tell.

Audioraincloud · April 2016

doesnt work inside normal maelstrom either...

Cake buff works in normal Maelstrom (I just did it on an alt). But you probably died and lost buff. If you die, you have to eat cake again to get XP buff back.

JamilaRaj · April 2016

The crown store is not working? Awesome, thank you, ZOS, for finally removing P2W crap from ESO! *goes to resub*

It doesn't work inside Cyrodiil and you want us to eat it outside before we enter. If you die inside Cyrodiil you lose the buff. With the queue system for locked campaigns this is a terrible and short sighted design. More importantly this buff does not stack with XP Scrolls and Psijic potions. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

James-Wayne · April 2016

Looks like they will need to offer it for the month with all these bugs in the cake... Goid chance for me to return from holidays so I can enjoy it too

andreasv · April 2016

Wow, thanks for the cake. But it looks like Dark Brotherhood will get delayed as you need to assign all resources to fix the problems that came with the cake.

MrCray78 · April 2016

Ok...
