This is kind of a follow up thread to https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...is-incorrect-skill-pills-do-not-stack.287115/
That thread shows that stacking skill pills doesn't actually work. You only get the effect from the highest pill.
The same seems to be true for skill gain from items and how it stacks with other items, or other pills.
This might not be that surprising since auto loot works the same, you only get the loot distance from the highest item or pill.
I have run test myself but the data presented below is actually from another player. Others have also arrived at the same conclusion.
Four different setups was tested. The only thing that was change in the for tests was the skill gain items/pills.
Skill lines gained
This, together with other data I have seen, tells me skill gain buffs works like auto loot buffs. That is, they don't stack. You only get the max of the items/pills you have.
Might argue more data is needed to show conclusive evidence though..
Me, and others, have reported this bug quite some time ago. Several releases has gone by without any changes.

- No skill gain items.
- Coat (25%)
- Coat + Ring (25%+25%=50%)
- Coat + Pill (25%+20%=45%)
