Question: Do same runes stack?

General
If I have multiple same kind runes in my inventory, is it possible to proc more than 1 crit exp from a single kill? 

For example I collect 5 watermelon rune boxes then unbox them all at the same time, now i have 5 watermelon runes sitting in my inventory. Is it possible, by some crazy luck, to kill a single monster and get like 2-5 crit exp procs from that one single monster kill? 

So yeah... if I have 5 watermelon runes in my inventory, do the each have a proc rate independent of each other?

    Yes and no. If you have more runes of the same type in your inventory, the following happens:
    a) buff that runes give you do not stack, just the timer resets if multiple triggers happen;
    b) you do get better trigger rate, but it's not ordinary summing - trigger rate is augmented by root of number of runes: for 2 runes = x1,41, for 3 runes = x1,73, for 4 runes = x2,00, for 5 runes = x2,24 and so on...
    It was like that in A16 when we tested it and it still should be like that now, didn't bother to test, don't have time for such acrobatics...

    Oh okay, that is really good info, thanks!

    Just to be sure this is only for same runes?
    If I have, for example, a watermelon rune and a swiftness rune, does the same apply in that case as well? Or does each rune maintain its original trigger rate?

    I'm basically trying to find out if I can stack runes to get exp faster, as well if it is worth doing.
    :D

    What MateaB1 said answer you, but just to clarify it.

    Yeah, they keep their trigger rate.
    I find it works best with a few different runes to grind up exp. How ever stacking the same rune also works pretty well.

    If youre lookign to grind exp as fast as possible, open 1 of each rune u have and spam 1st half of crespo treasure A runs (until zombie coffins) and die restart.
    Or if you have ib2 tickets, Grind ib2 and wait for crazy mode.
    Crazy mode doesnt give you mob experience, but u can get rune triggers from them.

    No ib2 tickets, but I do have quite a few ib A tickets.
    I guess Ill just pop different runes I get from daily log in along with the watermelon one.

    Thanks for the info.
