attribute stone drop

isnt this bit pathetic for new players? the droprate is utter ****
sure u can get 1 stone from kartia (which fails 90% of the time) sure you can get 1 here and there from a quest

but i find it pathetic i my self have massive stack of stones so i cant complain but if i would start new toon for the fun of it and give it no help from my main
for sure this toon wouldnt have full 3x120 set + 300 weapon at 95

pre 85 stones drop good? i dont know i was stuck so long on 85 so i could farm everything for ages ;).
after 85 stones drop rate is terrible

mentee stones(0>60 0>150) wont help also cus where u wanna pull crystals from when u cant even get stones.

for people who wanna say do soa quest or kartia or that kind of bullcrap
cut it already im old player like most of people here and we all know the droprate for stones now is terrible

im just wondering if this droprate is ever gonna get fixed
h5 basicly was cita2/loa/dragon valley/giant cave which dropped stones quite often all kinds
now we have endgame orbis (never had stone drop there im 97 ingame)
and Seal of shilen i have tops 3/4 dark stones drop there and i believe 1 or 2 wind stones if thats even possible i cant remember correct anymore but believe i did :p
so where does ncsoft want us to pull fire / water / earth / holy from?
yes i know u can do dark to holy and wind to earth for free..

dont gimme dumb conclusions please im just wondering where this is going cus endgame places drop litarely no stones sooner or later every1 is drained empty from their stack of stones and its going to be a ******ed high price again like we had at start of this attribute crap 3mil for 1 holy stone w00t.. if thats going to come back and i keep my stones ill be mad rich

the droprate is good enough
You can find tons of stones on the market

I got 4 sets with 60+ element and im not even 90 yet (yes im a slacker) and no i didnt buy any stones

The droprate is bad.

Lvling is too fast to acomplish anything good and get useful stuff. You reach 85 completly broke without any knowledge of the market or of your class for that matter.

Yeah this is true. The game doesn't even get experienced fully. Most of the xp areas are ignored for the fact they don't have a daily quest.

last night I managed to lvl up an alt from 10 to 58 in a matter of 3 hours and some minutes (I was falling asleep on the keyboard and had to take a break): mentor+vitality+quests chains. In resume, it was FOURTY EIGHT levels with no cost at all, just while u're kidding and talking crap on TS with friends/clannies - something unthinkable for some veterans a time ago.

Drop rate is crap nowadays, and the time needed to level up is good enough to not let us even try it out.

yuppers, no effort required anymore.

Yea and this leads to unproportional experience/item aquire.

Stones drop from lvl 80 in party zones and 85 in solo and party, so no wonder you dont get any if ur not 85+

If they dropped more frequently they would be worthless

This is not true because you can go to Pavel Ruins at 76ish and stones drop there. Also in Fog too

a freak accident then (pavel) :p

and fog is a party place, original for 80+

I got mostly holy stones in pavel and Fog dropped fire stones and I was going there before 80 *shrugs*

Stones still drop in FoG?

AoE'd there few weeks ago, 5 days, each day 5h. (half bugspot and whole necro-spot at once) and got not even one stone? But i got some fulldrops and armor/weapon pouches o.o

(i aoe'd with an level 82 FS and a party of 4 people all around 80 (+-3 lvl)

someone else got a stone there, since GoD launched?

Because before GoD i got one at least every 20min lol

4 sets? o boy i have over 10 sets with all 3x120 mostly vorpal stuff

point of my post is nowadays u steam roll tru lvls u start the game at 86 basicly
past 86 stone droprate is TERRIBAD
at 99 u lvl in orbis where stone droprate is non exist as far i know so.. so where exactly do u want people to pull stones from? sooner or later the prices is going sky high and price is already raising like hell

SoA and Kartia daily quests often provide attribute stones and crystals.
Not that it would decrease prices, but it's just to say that there's still a way... Other than farming them with subs/lowbies.

Whining dosent increase the droprate :p
