Two questions on Quickness -- Special Smite-o-Mat Recipe

[tinkthank]

Thank you all.
I am unburying this thread for one Last question:

It was said that Quickness from W-9 Blessing does *not* stack with other quicknesses. I am not so sure now with experimenting, but this "50% chance of..." that J.O. mentioned makes it hard to confirm or deny. Although JO also said he is not sure about that.

Question: Does anyone have some hard facts on what forms of quickness stack with which other ones?

thank you very much

[En Forcer]

And I want to know too if speed items can stack. Boots of speed, sword of swiftness, the spell quickness, and the heroic ability.

What stacks and what doesn't?

[Cohen]

Sword of Switfness gives 2 attacks, not quickness.

[Pocus]

there is also the jade armor which gives quickness IIRC

a stupid question (could have checked myself but I'm @ work): do shrouded casters have half upkeep (I dont think so!) ?

[PvK]

I don't think so either. Item says they get blessed even if not sacred. Sacred is what gives the reduction, not blessed, so the logical conclusion is no.

PvK

Two Quickness Types If it's in the same Type it does not stack.

Natural Quickness
Hall of Fame Quickness
Blessing Quickness

Magical Quickness
Quickness (Spell)
Quickness (From Item, including Boots of Quickness and Jade Armor)
Quickening

Mmm...that would be quite nice for some of the 300+ gold spellcasters, if it was the case. I've never used the lichcraft spell, but doesn't that do a similar thing (except make them undead and so reduce upkeep to zero)? - ignoring the obvious gem cost and undead vulnerability.
