What can you do with multiple god stones?

[Michael]

So from what I've been able to figure out on my own, you select one god stone within your collection to "activate." While active, that single god stone gives you various bonuses that "rank up" the longer you keep it equipped and the more points you invest in it. Do I have that right so far?

That being the case, since you can only have one stone active at any singular time, what the heck do I do with the gobs and gobs of other gob-er...god stones that are overflowing my inventory? Can they be sold? Combined? Traded? Or can they only be deleted? And if that's the case, why even have them - especially when so many are duplicates?

I tried heading over to the website to look up some info on this, but sadly there doesn't seem to be anything there. And the in-game help window is still empty.

Am I fundamentally misunderstading how these stones work? Or is it because it's a feature that isn't quite finished yet?

Well Godstones are like gear in that some of them have higher rarities and different extra abilities than others. The colors indicate rarity so gray (common), green (uncommon), dark blue (unique), light blue (magic), and legendary (i can't recall what color these are). Basically you get so many because you're waiting to get the best one rarity wise with extra abilities you want.

Right, I understood that much at least. But what do you do with all the un-used stones?

You can sell gear or convert it to upgrade material, but I've found no such mechanism for stones. It seems silly to have so many constantly added to your collection if the only thing you can do with them is delete them.

In the survey I adressed the issue, asking for a "trash all unequiped grey godstones" option, throwing them away one by one is awful, and no I don't think there's other things to do with the 70 bad godstones you get after a 2 hours farming session, if you keep them it makes your menu lag when you hold too many, if you trash them you're busy for 10 minutes, it's a huge flaw.

Someone told me about the menu lag that it causes. I haven't experienced it myself yet, but that's nuts.

Trashing them feels like such a waste. There really ought to be some kind of conversion feature - a way to combine them or evolve them, or break them down into a material that you can use to develop their stats in some way. Or trade them in - SOMETHING. lol

I'm sure they're probably working on it, and it's only a matter of time. I've just been too scared to get rid of them for whenever that day arrives.

Honestly I think the issue is that since the traits that godstones can get are random and not tailored to the actual abilities a lot of them, even some of the higher rarity ones are useless. Like getting "reduced cooldown" and "reduced resource cost" on Blade master cadence godstones which don't have either of those. To compensate they dump unholy amounts of them on you so that shots on goal overcome RNG. Hopefully they alter the system so that they don't drop as often but when they do 80% of them aren't actually useless.
