I think you should start doing abyssea with people who farm time.

I also think that whining about lack of time When you still have 14 stones is appalling.

Farming time is so easy... seriously I can do it solo on rdm or blm in 1 maybe 3 zones. Though it's far from quick lol.

Though not being able to since I spend most my time doing nms rq then shinryu again and again is eating thru my store fast

Acquire all celerity abyssites. Go into hibernation for a couple weeks or so, a month if you're daring. Come back with lots of stones?!

I was hoping Mog bonanza Rank5 or Rank4 woulda had a sack of Stones(25)~

Everyone would take those over seatorques unless you dont have abyssea groups

WoE is a complete waste of time.
To get weapons (faster than empyrean) you would need a decent group to do 4-5 runs a week.

Just a warning :P

Dunno what SE plans to do with the stone system, although Das is right, farming time is pretty easy. I took a good 2 month break from the game to concentrate on school and I had like 200 stones when I got back lol.

I never really dip low cause I don't do many events and usually just duo NM's with friends. But a few months back...ah man, I had to wait like 3 days to build enough stones up to have enough time to actually have fun for a day lol.

Hope you find a solution to your problem.

I'd go into detail but imo the best WoE way to go is actually do the bosses and go for the win, there's a good chance to get a Bag 3~12 coins at the end. Slimes being the easiest.

I don't see the powers that be doing anymore with the stones,
the system is set up pretty well... Just have to pimp it right.

Believe it or not the stones actually were created as a regulatory system for things like camping NM's, activities, etc.
This way, the most powerful LS's don't dominate a single mob/area/quest (or whatever it is nowadays I don't play anymore lol), because they are limited by the stones they have.
In other words, since people generally complain about people (with power-such as powerful linkshells-etc) not being fair and taking turns at the said activities, SE created a system which in term regulates this at its best ordinance and thus we have "the stones."

Except the powerful linkshells have "The time extension"
