Do I need to save the blood stones? No spoilers please :)

I needed one for A-Mount of healing magic. I have one more and could unlock another room but will I need them? I have no idea how to recharge them. So anyone that has finished... should I keep one or more charged?

You will need a certain number of them to open portals, the rest can be used anyway you like. The number that you need to keep is on wikia.

Other than for saving the animal, IIRC you don't really need to save any additional Bloodstones. Some evil Immaculate guy asks you use to use one on him later, but doing so is completely pointless and it's not even worth using it on him.

However, when I say you don't need to save them, that is not to say that you should ever throw them away. Unlocking rooms in Homestead is always a great thing to do.

And the Bloodstones can also heal & cure your party (one use only per Bloodstone), which is also great.

So that is why you may want to save a couple of them for tough boss battles or something like that --- but that's optional. If you use them in order to heal & cure your party, then you also get a room in Homestead unlocked from using that very same Bloodstone (and using it on the animal or evil Immaculate guy does still unlock rooms in your Homestead too).

And another thing to keep in mind that there are more Bloodstones in the game than there are rooms available to unlock in Homestead. So after you've already unlocked every available room in your Homestead, then it's pointless to use your excess Bloodstones other than for healing & curing your party. So in that case, you might as well save them.

Thanks guys!

it's never about saving but rather using ;)

I remember reading in a forum that when you use a bloodstone, you get xp proportional to your lvl (like a percentage I think). And that someone was able to get past the soft lvl cap of 20 to like 21 or 22 with the help of those stones (not because of those stones). I've not verified this, and I saved Alfie early on cauz I just couldn't leave him (I role-play, not power-play). But I am patient and am waiting to use my bloodstones towards the end. I don't need nor want to rush the rooms opening up in the homestead (they open via star stone, not bloodstone, which is dumb but I digress).
