The following was posted by Sannio (UO's Online Content Coordinator), on the Stratics UO Latest Updates Board, providing a little more insight into post-AoS stat gaining:
I saw there were additional questions about Stat gains, so I stole some of MrTact’s time and asked him for some further insights into Stat gain in the post-AoS world. Here’s a general breakdown of how Stat gain can work:
When you use a skill, there’s a check to see if you succeed, and if you do then there’s another check to see if you gain in skill. (By the way, GGS will ensure a minimal skill gain over a certain period, but it doesn’t ensure minimal Stat gains as well.)
If that second check succeeds, and you gain points skill, you now have a possibility to gain in 1 Stat. But which one?
Stats that are locked or set to go down are immediately dismissed, and only Stats set to go up will be considered for possible increases. Of those remaining Stats, 1 of them is randomly chosen for a Stat gain check. Oh, and if you are at your Stat cap then one of your Stats must also be set to go down-in order for a Stat to go up, it needs to pull the points from somewhere.
(Let’s say your STR and INT are set to raise, and your DEX is locked. DEX won’t come into play at all, and STR and INT now have equal odds at being picked for a Stat gain check.)
The Stat gain check odds are basically (100% - (the Stat being checked)), with a minimum of 5%.
Finally, if you’re successful, you can gain up to 1 Stat point per 15 minutes, with a maximum of 10 points per day.
Now, even with all that in mind, some players have mentioned seeing some problems with Stat gains. At this time, we don’t know that this is true, but this concern is mentioned now and again we also don’t want to dismiss it as a possibility. We’re keeping an eye on things, and MrTact hopes to return to the Stat gain process again some time in the not-yet-foreseeable future.
