Enigmatic stones

[JeyLik]

When do you usually supposed to go and get an enigmatic stones?
I'm tried going for them in first realm of the region, but guardians usually is heaven-chosen of second realm of that region.
Or comprehend in your opinion better and they not worth the effort?

Feel they only worth later areas, even then it depends as when it comes to skills I just ditch my sect, go to next area, join one, check all elders for all sects in that area… join up with the sect I want to become a apprentice of, get that, leave, go back to my og sect.

Kinda wish there was some sort of undercover you could do.

Did as mentioned above at the second area for every sect… also to become elder and get lotsa apprentices (then promptly kick them from the sect… then put more people as my true disciple

They don’t get mad at you for expelling them LOL

Really? I kinda think these stones are good at all areas.
Because, if you already have right skill with 1 or 2 good affixes, from, for example, foundation, then, when you become QiCon, you can merge it with "golden core stone" to your realm.
And later, when you become second realm of that area - merge it further again, or use "Epiphany-book", to quickly up it to your realm and give it good affix.
This way you still have good skill to use right away and dont need a master.

I'm not trying to say that your method is bad, its good for its own reasons. But I think these stones are pretty good at all times.
The only problem is that there are only so many stones in the area and they don't replenish; and fighting guardians is total ass.

Could use mods… reason why I say it’s useless is because ideally early realms your quickly upgrading skills, towards the end it’s more of a grind… also because stones in later areas are a pain to get, talking boss destroying wise, by the time you have enough attack ( game really does bottle your progress on your dmg) you already looking for books above your realm

Just as a example I’m still using books 2 realms below me because area 3 stones feel like lv 5 bosses

>.> I find more use out of boss spawns that drop books

Lastly if I recall right the stones require you to have a book present that’s exactly like your previous one, having a stone book that’s about purely attack won’t work on a water book that’s purely attack…

Tldr once area 3 the stones quest aren’t worth it

Because you can’t beat the boss

Ps. To those that think get good… I’m using earth/water, water beam = insta kill on normal enemies, I twirl it around and ez mob clear, using waters motion so I have a second me for abit, have earths special for a temp golem ally and for my ult it’s water but soon to be earth as I can’t trigger the conditions on a pure 1v1 fight (one of my one of my skill passives is inflict frost on 3+ enemies each stage enter)

Pair that with: a destiny that basically inflicts the same amount damage every 10 seconds per 30 seconds to the enemy (amazing during duels), a destiny that gives me a shield… lv 1 for now, and Jo’s sword lv 3 (my god it’s absolutely broken) you can pretty much kill bosses even two realms above you (takes a long time since you only hit ones lol)

Shoutout to jo’s sword for being able to stun lock bosses


(may dabble into blade if I find the right mats as hp steal is really key for these sort of fights)

Thats kinda dumb was hoping I didnt have to spend like a year every time I upgraded realms just on learning new manuals. The enigmatic stone made upgrading from Qi refining to foundation so much easier.
