<p>So, I've been leveling up my Sage, and have been using the different Draught/Draft/Drink of the Skilled I've /claimed over the years whenever I run out of vitality.</p><p>I've heard from many that these potions will stack if used concurrently, but I really hadn't noticed a change in exp gain when using more than one type at a time, so I decided to log my exp gain without and with the different types of potions, and here's what I found:</p><p><span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">Time Item made exp % Notes EXP Gain3:24pm START - lv59 Sage 13.00% With 1.1% Vitality 3:25pm Wrath of the Grey 16.70% Vitality Over 3.70%3:26pm Vicious Torment 18.90% No vitality 2.20%3:27pm Unyielding Benediction 22.40% No vitality, 55% potion 3.50%3:29pm Umbral Attendant 25.90% No vitality, 55% potion 3.50%3:30pm Solar Flame 29.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:32pm Scourge of Shadows 32.90% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:33pm Sandstorm 36.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:34pm Ruthless Invocation 39.90% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:36pm Ruinous Anathema 43.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:37pm Killing Swarm 46.90% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:39pm Judging Smite 50.30% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:40pm Fiery Convulsions 53.80% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:42pm Fiery Annihilation 57.30% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:44pm Dire Invective 60.80% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:46pm Deathly Coil 64.30% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:47pm Chilling Inquest 67.80% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:48pm Brainburst 71.30% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.50%3:49pm Umblar Mettle 74.60% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.30%3:51pm Thwart 78.00% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:52pm Symbol of Naltron 81.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:53pm Spirit of the Hunt 84.70% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.30%3:54pm Seismic Terror 88.10% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:55pm Portent 91.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.30%3:56pm Malevolent Efflux 94.80% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:57pm Infernal Cloud 98.20% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.40%3:58pm Incapacitate 1.20% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.00%4:00pm Holy Redoubt 4.40% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 3.20%4:01pm Harrowing Silence 7.00% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 2.60%4:02pm Foretelling 9.50% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 2.50%4:03pm Ferine Vim 12.10% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 2.60%4:04pm Fanatic's Faith 14.70% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 2.60%4:05pm Ess. of the Great Bear 17.30% No vitality, 55% potion AND 39% potion 2.60%4:14pm 39% potion wears off 4:15pm Drain Thought 19.90% No vitality, 55% potion 2.60%4:16pm Dazzling Array 22.50% No vitality, 55% potion 2.60%4:17pm Constrict 25.10% No vitality, 55% potion 2.60%4:18pm Consecrated Aura 27.70% No vitality, 55% potion 2.60%4:19pm Confoudment 30.30% No vitality, 55% potion 2.60%4:27pm 55% potion wears off 4:28pm Calcify 32.00% No vitality, no potions 1.70%4:30pm Aspect of the Hawk 33.60% No vitality, no potions 1.60%4:32pm Wild Salve 34.20% No vitality, no potions 0.60%4:38pm Sylvan Streams 35.20% No vitality, no potions 1.00%4:40pm Sunstrike 36.80% No vitality, no potions 1.60%</span></p><p>As you can see, I gained 3.4-3.5% with the 55% potions (Draft of the Skilled), and it remained the same when used concurrently with the 39% potion (Draught of the Skilled).</p><p>The exp gain decreased a little bit when i dinged 60, which was expected. You can see, however, that I gained 2.6% exp as a lv60 sage with both potions still active, and it remained the same after the 39% potion had worn off.</p><p>One thing that is interesting to see is the exp gain when both potions wore off. It varied from 0.6% to 1.7%, with no vitality or potions. I wonder what could have caused that...</p><p>Note: all the items were 1st time crafts, so I also gained the bonus for making them the 1st time.</p><p>Just thought I would share this with you all, so that you don't waste your potions, like I did.... Wonder if I can get them back, if I petition?</p><p>Edit: forums didn't like my excel spreadsheet, had to convert to plain text!</p>
