Guild Wars 2

I just received a first year birthday present for one of my characters. It contained an experience scroll and a birthday booster.

The issue is that none of these will stack with previous experience scrolls and birthday boosters that I’ve received.

According to the wiki, there are 3 variants of the experience scrolls, which will not stack with each other. Each has their own item code (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Experience_Scroll). Why they are set up this way is beyond me, but it would be nice if they could be stacked.

What’s even more odd is that the birthday booster I got with this gift will not stack with other birthday boosters that I currently possess. I could not find any references of this on the wiki or otherwise, and I have never had a problem with birthday boosters stacking before, regardless of whether they were from the first or second birthday gift. It seems to me like they should simply stack.

EDIT: Coincidentally, I also just received a second year birthday present on another one of my characters. The birthday booster contained in this present stacked with the existing birthday boosters I already had. However, the single birthday booster from the first year birthday gift still refuses to stack with the rest of them.

Hey Yam,

A dev recently posted a little way to “update” all of your “old” boosters and whatnot. Withdraw everything from your bank or wherever it is and either change maps or logout. This should fix the problem. I’d recommend doing this for all of your boosters, BLC items, etc. that are account bound, just in case, to update them all. Hope this helps!

Tried map swapping with the boosters in my inventory, and it allowed me to stack them all properly. So that’s that sorted out.

However, I’ve tried both map swapping and logging out, but the issue with the experience scrolls was only partially fixed. In my bank, I had a 3 stacks of experience scrolls, one with 5, one with 8, and the single one I got from my first year birthday gift, none of which will stack with each other. After performing the map swap, the single one stacked with the stack of 5, making a stack of 6. However, the new stack of 6 will not stack with the previous stack of 8. So now I still have two stacks that won’t stack despite any logging out or map swapping I’m doing.

In any case, although this workaround will apparently solve, or at least partially solve, the issue, it’s still a bug that needs to be looked at. The items should simply stack with each other, whether or not they are “old” or “new” boosters or experience scrolls.

EDIT: A side note – The experience scroll stacks used to be of two different varieties. One stack used to be “Account Bound” while the other was “Account Bound on Acquire”. However, they are both now “Account Bound” (not sure when that changed), but they still won’t stack with each other.

Also, if I link them in the chat window, both stacks are listed as “Account Bound on Acquire” in the chat link instead of “Account Bound” that the tooltip normally shows in the inventory when mousing over them.

I have the same issue with the experience scrolls. Both kind will not stack even using the trick listed above. It’s still something that need to be fixed.
