rarity of manastones

[guineapig]

In that case I will be accepting the donation of a manastone from somebody with 2 or more.
Don't be greedy people!!!

Manastones are overdone here on this server because everyone knows about them. This server is a good experience but people aren't ignorant like they were in 1999.

What I love is the fact that people are going to attach market price for these stones as if it was 1999. By all means, these stones should not be that expensive right now due to so many being around.

the problem isn't that so many people know about them, it's that so many people know that they are GOING AWAY.

Willing to bet if Nilbog posted tomorrow that Manastones dropping will be a permanent part of this server, we would start to see them on the market and the perma camps would dissapear (why spend hours camping/hording something that won't sell for 100k in a few months).

I interpreted the progression thread differently, I think. Is this server doing the same as live (just removing the loot chance) or are they removing the stones themselves?

They won't remove the stones.

The stones simply *will* not work in Planes and Kunark+ expansion zones.. Thats how live handled it.

Manastones were removed and those that were in existence did not work in later expansions.

Manastones will become less valuable once Kunark comes out. The best time to sell will be after they are taken out and before Kunark where they are not usable.
