No idea who ever thought that was a good idea. Totally suck in miasma chests when you get 3-4 in the one chest. I guess it is another way of just making it easy to know what to NOT loot.
The ones that are 50 stones tend to have some nice mods on them. If you can stand to pick up less gold now and then, they can be nice.
i could live with it if other mods were perfect. beats antique / brittle in certain circumstances.
Never mind the weapons, what about a ring weighing one stone, everyone must be superhuman.
I always found it odd they went with stones and not pounds...
