Hi. I'm quite confused with how critical chance is calculated and displayed in this game. Does it stack on top of each other or does it work in some other ways? I have a few items with increased critical chance, but the number displayed on my char screen is way lower than the number on the item.

Can anyone help me understand how it really works?

The increase refers to what percentage of your base crit chance is raised by. The confusion comes from using a percentage increase on a percentage stat.

+10% crit chance would make your crit chance go up by 10.

+10% increased crit chance would make your crit go up by 10% of your crit chance.
