Talk:Brimstone Beret

I wonder. Does having this item and the Plexiglass Pendant (or one of the custom items with the same effect with one of these two) allow you to keep five songs in your head? The wording on the ability implies "no" since it only talks about raising it to 4 songs, rather than saying "an additional song", but it would make sense if this did allow you to hold 5 songs. Anyone finish an AT Bad Moon Run and an AT Oxy run that could confirm or deny this? --Wildfire393 10:13, 13 August 2007 (CDT)

• Given the wording, it almost certainly does not stack. There is even one custom item which has this enchantment on it (the Scandalously Skimpy Bikini), so if it did stack, sassylassy would certainly be able to find out (unless she's never completed an HCO Accordion Thief run). --Quietust (t|c) 16:01, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
• Given the wording, it says it doesn't stack. But if it was programmed to ADD ONE to the number of songs you can hold instead of simply setting that number equal to four, then it might stack with the custom item or HCO AT reward, allowing for 5 (or even 6) AT songs to be held at once.
• I would almost certainly say that this will NOT stack. Jick and co. would anticipate this mechanism and set it to "CurrentSongLimit=4" as opposed to "CurrentSongLimit+1=CurrentSongLimit." 5/6 songs would effectively break the game. However, we should certainly get a test to make sure.--Dante5454 19:16, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
• Has anyone tested this yet? We should get a definite answer on this one...--Xone01 10:15, 29 November 2007 (CST)
  • I'm pretty sure Jick confirmed on a previous radio show that they do not stack. Although I forget the date of it. --Chunky_boo 10:26, 29 November 2007 (CST)
• Im curious, what is the overall effect of all of the brimstone items? --Brandonmarlo 14:58, 2 October 2007 (CDT)
• Since there are two items that raise each stat by 50%, and two that lower each stat by 20%, the net bonus from wearing all of the brimsonte items is as follows: +60% all stats, +30 melee damage, 25 damage reduction, 4 songs instead of 3, -3 mp to use skills, +40 spell damage, +50% Initiative, and 200 power Hat, Pants, and Weapon. --Wildfire393 15:08, 2 October 2007 (CDT)

silly reference

how might the wording of the reference to Satre be altered to make it sound better? I'm not too sure on the term 'beret-man.' Monsieur 10:33, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Set bonuses

I noticed that the set bonus described in Ascension Rewards isn't listed here, or any of the other set items' pages. I'd fix it myself, but I'm not yet current on the standards and not very familiar with wikicraft. --HoseBeast 22:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
