As far as armilo is concerned, I've been crafting with armilo for some time (leveled my jewels to max from q150 with it) and I haven't seen the patterns that Erizon mentions, either across tools or within a single tool. What I have seen is something else entirely.
First, the 10% chance of boosting seems to be bang-on, on the average (and I have done enough crafts with armilo to actually have decent statistics).
Jewels get a random boost to any of the four stats, so you have a 2.5% chance of increasing the stat you're "interested in." The same applies to Light Armor.
However, for Heavy Armor, the armilo tools seem to only give you HP or STAM, so you have a higher chance of getting stuff you "like". Yay us.
