I finally bit the bullet and used a bunch of leeches on my pet, Zero Tolerance. All of his stats were at 10, except for his defense at 11. I thought I could get away with using 6 Defense Leeches anyways, maybe dropping his defense to -1. BUT NOPE. It stayed right at one...>:( I really wanted all the stats to be zero, so I took a gamble with and luckily it only boosted it up by one. And then I bought another Defense Leech to bring it down to zero. AND THENNNNNNN....I finally renamed my pet to Zero Tolerance. I think the name is pretty fitting now :) :) :)
[edit] In hindsight, I shouldn't have fed my pet that Chocolate Crepe...:( PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT LURKING 1
The way it is set up, it wouldn't go to -1. When leeches first came out, there was no check to see if they would drop below zero, so using a leech at 1 stat would make you have (2^32)-1 of that stat. This is because they are unsigned integers, stored as 32 bit numbers with no negatives. So that's why it didn't drop it down to zero, they just only made them work if you have 2 or more xD
Ahh, I see...thanks for explaining! Now if only I had known earlier... ._.
It was an interesting bug but I'm glad they fixed that up quickly. Though it would make sense if you had one stat point and used a leech to just drop it back to zero :p
Haha yup, I ended up using 7 Defense Leeches total...all dem battle shop tokens .
Thank you for the token! I have yet to use a leech, but I probably will if my speed gets too high :p Congrats on getting to zero stats though!
