Questions regarding skill stacks...

Hi guys,

Feel like a bit of a noob asking this but here goes,

I've only just started getting into the whole trading part of DS and want some
help with skill stacks that everyone seems to want now...

a) Is a stack where you have a creature with a skill lvl above the original (1)...
or a few creatures with the same skill?

b) If it's just one with a higher skill, What makes it better? More of a chance of
leveling up a more powerful cards skill?

Thank you for any insight!

a) a stack is considered to be a single monster with a skill level of (4)

yeah this is a bit confusing at first, when people would say they were buying stacks I would always ask stacks of how many,
but eventually you'll find out that stack is synonymous with 4

b) precisely! As your monster gets higher level skills, using lower level skills to sacrifice to it becomes less likely to work! Although you can get skill 2 to 3 using 1s with maybe a failure 1/3 times, using a 1 to get 5 to 6 is practically impossible. Stacks are 4 because there is a very low rate of failure all the way up to skill (20) if you use skill (4) sacrifices (it may fail once in a while, but seldom enough that "stack" has become synonymous with 4)

Thanks! That helps alot.

Light bulb!

Thanks for asking the question so I don't have to. Also may explain why my sale offer was ignored...
