Speaking of buying rules, the rules say: All purchases “stack”, making a purchase will not cause you to lose another.

But when I read the description for Indulgences, presumably buying the First-Class Indulgence (“Keep up to 20% of your Blood Shards when Ascending”) does not mean I’m intended to keep any previous indulgences. That is, if I have a Basic Indulgence (up to 5%), and I buy the First-Class Indulgence, I don’t get to keep 25% of my shards, just up to 20%.

Is that the intention?

If I get the Just Bury Me With It indulgence, I think it makes sense that I can only keep up to 100% and wouldn’t get to keep a maximum of 405% (making more shards somehow) if I had all of the other indulgences, but on the other hand, maybe?

Your instincts are correct, yes you can own all of the indulgences, but their effects are not independent. If you can “keep up to 5%” and “keep up to 20%”, 20% is as much as you can keep.

tbh the stacking rule was a necessary addition for other purchases to work how I wanted, and the cathedral purchases have been a little confusing ever since. Saying “up to X%” was my best way of simply saying “you get this much and no more, regardless of which other indulgences you have.”
