Question on equipment effects, guild question two topics one thread

[RPGuru#32]

Ok, so we all know how AC hp elemental resists and trait boosting works on equipment. My question has to do with the other little effects like tinkering, detection, and im sure there are more to come. Do they stack? Also i know that guilds are a limited thing so far and they eventually will be skills and stores in all of them. But will we as non-members get access to more if we are friendly with that faction than we do now? And will the native people of the kingdom be like a guild to join or just an achievement on the G+

I have multiple gear on my rogue with Detection, it seems to stack.
Tinkering I'm not sure, I only have Tinkering II gloves.

I believe you will have to join the guild in order to gain all its glory unfortunately.

Everything stacks, except trait bonuses.

When items have trait penalties in the future, those will stack.
