Can I stack enchantments?
No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.

What does the number after my name in chat mean?
This is your total level of all your skills combined.
Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?
Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.
What is the highest level I can obtain?

After level 99, there are mastery levels. Each mastery level is incrementally harder to obtain and adds one effective level. There is no realistic limit of mastery levels.

Burn logs, coal or sticks. Alternatively, pyre logs give more heat, but require crafting, cooking and fishing to obtain.
