Dark Souls 2 Raw Stone Usage

• Can only be used at Blacksmith Steady Hand McDuff
• Used to change a weapons class to Raw. This increases the weapon's base damage but removes all scaling.
• Adds approximately +6% to the chosen weapon's all-around attack stats. (Note: Almost every time, there's a better option available for a certain weapon. Make sure that the damage bonus you get from this stone is worth losing ALL the scaling a weapon has.)
• Crossbows are a good choice for this upgrade as they don't have scaling.
• Also a good choice for Santier's Spear, as it has no scaling whatsoever. (However, once you get 50+ int, Enchanted will start to outscale Raw.)
