do stacks remember the individual fish values? i'm trying to figure out if the shown amount healed is just an averaged amount or if I should be more careful about what I add to stacks of nice fish. does that make sense? lol

in the beginning (when fish stacking was first introduced), it used to just go based on averages and you would often lose some life/mana based on how things were rounded. now, fish stacks keep track of the total life/mana healed (which is why you see it that way in your profile) and the amount per use is calculated by dividing the total life/mana healed by the number of fish in the stack.

the amount healed per use will actually be recalculated as your stack size changes. when I am cooking, if my stack heals 150 mana per use, I will see them come out as 300's if fully cooked until close to the end where sometimes I will get 302's or so to pop out

thank you that's exactly what i wanted to know. and that's cool as heck that i can't ruin my averages per se.
