Orchard gloves not removing 10% arcane failure

Is this known ?

Annoying as I am left with 4% on a bladeforged warlock  with adamantine feat..
Have 15% racial and 15% stone on shadow docent. Wearing the gloves or not makes no difference.

Mouse over spells and reads 4% also if I cast and the D100 dice show 3 then I get arcane spell failure so it is not a cosmetic bug.

or am I doing it wrong? meh

The Sapphire of Spell Agility is an Enhancement bonus. I wonder if the Casting Dexterity on the Epic Fanged Gloves is also an Enhancement bonus even if it doesn't say it is?

If so, that would explain why you're not seeing the extra 10% off your arcane spell failure, they're not stacking...only the highest bonus given by the items is taking effect.

yup, augment and arcane casting dexterity don't stack.

Easy to test as if I remove the docent (with the blue slotted 15% augment) the failure chance goes up to 19%. It should then drop to 9% if I put the gloves on.

So ... is there anything else that will stack if I have the 15% augment and the 15% racial to get it to zero or does everyone put up with 4% failure ?

Bummer. I am always lazy and never take full advantage while these sort of things last.

It was around for a very long time. You're lazy indeed.

Yup confirmed the gloves don't stack. Remove docent made 19% added gloves made 9% then re-added docent only 4%

So is there any other way to reduce spell failure that does stack with racial and augment ?

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Lighter armor does that, but I know that is not what you meant to ask...

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

IIRC one of the cannith crafting affixes will stack. I don't remember which one though.
