Upon Plane of Sky release in the original timeline, Manastone stopped working in all planes. Currently, this behavior is not working correctly on green and manastones still work. Manastones should not be working in planes throughout the rest of green. This is the verbiage from the patch notes back then:

*Manastone Changed*

The players have raised many concerns about the power of the
Manastone, which no longer drops. They cite that people without a
Manastone are not as welcome in expeditions to the outer planes and
other areas as people with them. Since dropping additional Manastones
via quest or removing them from the existing populace is not
desirable, we've decided to make it so that the Manastone will no
longer function in the alternate planes. Furthermore, it will not
function in any of the zones included with the Kunark Expansion.

We apologize to those adversely affected by this change. Our general
goal is to avoid making changes to items in peoples' possession,
however we felt this change was, all things considered, warranted and
for the benefit of the game as a whole.

Probably just needs a server restart.

Can confirm manastone is supposed to stop working in the planes with release of PoS. Maybe it just needs a server restart as mentioned.

Server reset happened less than 24 hours ago, yet manastones are still usable in plane of sky. Obviously the patch has not been applied, can we get this happening.

It's been 3 weeks since sky opened—can we get an explanation for what happened? This is very well documented and understood.
