    Thank you very much for the response Unelonborro!

    I wish I could say I was happy with the response, but alas, crushing dreams happens. :P It was fairly well known that the Corsair Rings didn't stack, though I assumed with Idris' mythic-equivalent nature, that it would go beyond this.

    I'm left wondering now what the future of this Ergon weapon may hold, as any future additions or adjustments to Geomancer would need to be factored into it. If there's another bell released with say, +7 Geomancy, this would be one less reason to want an Idris. Also in the future, should more powerful -Loupan DT gear come out, this would be yet another reason to avoid making Idris, as pet -DT equipment caps at 87.5%.

    I'm happy with the weapon as it is currently (though disappointed at it's lack of stacking with Dunna), but seeing that it was intended for these effects to not stack makes me feel as though a cap has been placed on Geomancer that will have to be addressed in the future should adjustments take place to our bells, spells, -Loupan DT gear, etc. I hope such work will happen when/if that ever happens. ^^

    Thank you again for going through the trouble of finding this out, though the news is less than pleasing, I still greatly appreciate your efforts. ^^/

    There's a similar theme across the board with all weapons/accessories at the moment. The release of the 119 AF Harp and Shield closing the gap to Daurdabla and Ochain, Eminent Flute closing the gap to Gjallarhorn, Aettir to RUN Mythic.

    And we could say the same about any of these, if another weapon/accessory was released between the 2 it reduces the bonus of having the emp/relic/mythic/ergon, for example, if an 'all songs +3' instrument was released.

I may not be able to respond to everything not localization-related, depending on how busy I am localizing in-game text, but I have a soft spot for Geomancers!
    This is, without a doubt, THE BEST REPLY EVER on these forums, and I might have to stick it in my signature now lol!

    i dont think this can be compared to shield or harp, this is a direct slap into the face of GEO. Shield/Harp still take up the same slot like the empy/relic counterparts. Idris and Dunno do not take up the same slot, a BRD or PLD can still have their empy/relic shield/instrument equiped and then use a mythic in their mainhand! as a GEO? equuip Idris in mainhand and invalidate your ammo slot with dunno, not to mention you are hurting your nukes due to the lower magic dmg Idris offers compared to staves.

    This is totally inacceptable, they should stack! Unless SE plans to release a new handbell that greatly offers different boosts in combination with geo mythic
