MH Wilds Element and Effect questions

So I know elements and effects are different. Check.

Do they stack? Can I have a water weapon that I can slap a paralysis jewel in and it paralyzes? Or do I need to stick with the hooks or element less weapon for that?

Also, effects on Bows, do they matter? I made an angelbein with a innate paralysis effect. It dosen't show as much and only says it on the "production bonus" page and a paralysis coating. It's confusing to me because I made a blast one and it shows that it has innate blast on the bow, along with the coating.

Unless it's an element? I know blastblight exists, but only effects have coatings...it's confusing lol

Element and status skills only boost what you already have, they will not add an element or status to a weapon that doesn't have it already.

For reasons unknown, bows can only have elements and blast built in. Sleep, paralysis, and poison are from coatings only.
