Can someone please explain when something like runes and things like that say stacking and no stacking and how the combination of the two work please?

Thank you in advance.

stacking used to confuse me too. basically, if a rune provides an attribute that is stacking, you can add more runes to increase that attribute. if it is non-stacking, then you will gain the benefit of only the highest rated rune.

eg. 5 runes of vitae (+10 stacking) placed on various armor parts will give you +50 health. however, 5 suprior vigor runes (+50hp non-stacking) will only provide +50 health; however if the vigor rune was stacking, you would have gained +250 health.

as jhu said, however, be aware that whether or not a rune, etc is stacking, any and all negative effects are. So, from jhu's example, 5 sup axes will only give you +3 axe attribute points, but they will give you -375 hp (5*-75)
