I bought these to try and help me get to +11 and maybe beyond. Out of using 8 stones, I got ONE item to +11, all other times failed. These stones are junk, either that or they suddenly made the odds of getting past 10 waaaay harder.

    I kinda think those stones are more like placebo drugs (Sugar Pills).
    Also the chance it increase are like 5% but from 30 /100 it will still fail a lot, best to use getting it above +4
    Fergus failed me 5 time once going to +5

    gonna quote a EU guy, can't find the original one but the meaning is similar

    "you enter a casino, spent 100k euro here and hoping the casino would give you a Porsche. Dude, there must be something wrong with you "

    Wasn't there a chart for these? Like that percentage is added onto the current percentage, not a flat rate.

    So if there's a 1% chance of getting your weapon from 14 to 15, the stone makes it more like 1.13%

    According to the tooltip displayed on Goibhniu's Enhancement Stones from the seal shop, it increases the success rate by 10%, meaning that you would take the success rate of your enhancement that you're going for (ex. +10 to +11 being 45%) and add 10% of the success rate to it (10% of 45 is equal to 4.5), yielding your final success rate: 49.5%. Apparently, there were some stones that had the tooltip displaying that it was a flat increase of 3%, but I'm not sure which one is applied post-rise.

    Replaces enhancement stones in the process - only 1 stone is used instead. Multiplies enhancement success chance by 110%. Example: 0.33*1.1=0.363 (33% → 36,3%)
    But I recall seeing that the ratio is rounded down, so it would be 36%.
