Does anyone how much the Conjunctive Retort changes the values by?

Conjunctive Retort: While placed on an Alchemy Table, the Conjunctive Retort transfers from the lowest Alchemical dimension of an item placed in it, to the next to lowest Alchemical dimension of the same item. Note that the dimension being transfered to cannot come to exceed the next to highest dimension of the item.

Yeah, I get that. How Much does it change the values by.

to the next to lowest Alchemical dimension of the same item.

example: 15/20/30/35
ending result: 20/20/30/30

Note: I might pull evenly from the higher two values, but I don't really know for sure, so I'd just assume it pulls from the highest value.

Although I have not experimented with the Retort, the way I interpreted the explanation is a bit different than the example staxjax gave. I understood it as taking from the lowest number and adding to the second lowest number. For example:

Beginning: 15/20/30/35
Ending: 5/30/30/35

If it works similar to the pressure cooker, you get 1 point per tick. Depending on the purity of the pressure cooker this is approximately 1 point per hour. Not sure if the Retort operates on similar timeliness. So, if it works similar to the pressure cooker, 1 tick would provide the following in the example:

Beginning: 15/20/30/35
After 1 tick: 14/21/30/35

Ofcourse you also have to worry about the chymical instability.

I just read it again, and I can agree with you as that is how it should work...and in the case of the maximum you could achieve, in your example, it would be 5/30/30/35

I understand the description and can also guess that it may change by the same amount as the pressure cooker.
But has anyone actually tried it?

There's a pretty good sized thread around here somewhere about alchemy and how things worked and if it was worth the effort to bring items up in quality (vs losing the items and glassware).

There is but it does not answer my question. If I am wrong please show me which post answers it.
