<p>Since there's been some talk about xp stacking, can there be a statement made about what will <strong>stack</strong> with this +100%?</p><p>Vet reward /claim potion 110%?Recruit-a-Friend 200%?SC potion 100%?Vitality 200%?Level-90 character bonus (20-100%)?</p><p>Does all of the above stack?  Meaning a max of 810% bonus?</p>

<p>The bonuses all stack except xp potions -- you can only have one potion contributing bonus XP at a time. Meaning if you have a vet reward potion you're wasting your money by trying to run a SC potion at the same time. Ideally it shouldn't even allow you to use the SC potion while the vet one is in effect, although I have not checked to see if it does or does not.</p>

<p>For those that havent noticed yet the Vitality potion is back and is called Potion of Vitality. It was added back to the marketplace sometime after yesterdays patch. With that said.....</p><p>What do ya say Sony? Double SC weekend as well? Please?????</p>

<p>Since I have yet to find a store that actually sells those FreeRealsm SC cards - a double SC weekend would just be a point of irriatation for me at this stage - I've checked several stores in my area that are on the list of SOE's retailers for these buggers and . . . nada, nothing. I've been looking since the last Double SC weekend.</p><p>I think instead they should just do a 1/2 price SC weekend, that way everyone who cannot get those cards, regardless if they are in or out of the US could benefit. I'd break out my credit card for that.</p>

<p>Did u try Wal-Mart? GameStop? Best Buy? Target? All of those stores around me have several FreeRealms SC cards. Best Buy is kinda confusing because its not kept with the PC games but rather with the Console games in the same section you would find the XBox live cards and that.</p>

<p>RAF bonus doesn't seem to be stacking for me.</p><p>The vet account still gets the 200% bonus when grouped with the Friend. But today the RAF account was upgraded to a subscribed account, and it lost the 200% bonus. At least on the tooltip.</p><p>The RAF account only sees 10% bonus for being mentored, and 100% bonus from the server.</p>
