Weapon attribute changed

[Dutch_leon]

Hello, i have a lvl 52 SoS +3 twohanded sword and I wanted to add Int 7d to the weapon. The weapon already had a str attribute of 1. I applied the Int stone to it and it was succes, Int 5 (100 %), but the STR also increased to 3 (50 %). I was like WTF wth is this xd So could somebody explain please? Thank you

on any stone, u'll see an assimilation %. this % is basically the chance that the stone you're using will assimilate something other than what its supposed to originally do, in your case the str.

Yes but first of all, this was only a 10 % assimilation probability and i also thought that that assimilation probability could only work in a negative way, for example that it would except for int also woudl change phy. attack power from 44 % to 0 % or something. Thats why i alsways try to pick stones with the lowest assimilation probability

Good going there. Assimilation indeed has a negative effect 80% of the time. Continue to go with 10% stones, and when stuff like this happens, be happy.

I was happy I just wondered what the reason for it was, didn't even know it could work out in a good way xd okay well thanks for the information, I know enough about alchemy for the moment, thanks
