Hi,

just a quick one: the alchemy stone's AP increase is also subject to the 5% AP cap, right? So basically, only 5% of its AP increase will count?

5% total AP, so the AP in the alchemy stone may not even count.

[...]I want something to upgrade for sure by gathering the materials and not being time-gated. [...]

"Good news" and bad news.... the average rates on upgrading alch stones are set at the same value as pity.... so on average it's either going to take agris, or agris +1 taps..... no help for the time-gate tho.... over 310 days of perfect attendence at rift bosses even if you buy into a splendid.... 390-395 from the ground up
