Moonstone Achievement
Obviously it's pretty early so this may not be known yet. But if a Moonstone is used in synthesis or given to the friendly enemy will it still count toward having all 4? Or do you have to have all 4 in hand at the same time?

Thanks if anyone knows the answer.

It counts. You just need to find them. Use them as you will.

Easy way to check would be right before you get the 2nd moonstone, save and sell off your moonstone from the beginning event thing. Then just check your achievements after picking up the 2nd moonstone. It keeps track so if all is good it should now say 2/4 instead of 1/4.

Then reload your save before selling your moonstone.

I'm not that far yet personally. So can't really check for you.

*edit* And yeah, the achievement is definitely 'obtain' not 'own.'
So it should be fine as long as you get the 4 available moonstones.

I obtained all of the Moonstones. But the achievement did not come... for some reason the one that drops from friendly enemy did not register. it says 3/4 in steam overlay....

You don't need all of them at the same time. I used one of the moonstones in the friendly monsters quest, and I was still able to get the achievment.

Did you get one from Stiltzkin when he returns to Alexandria?

It's counted. I gave moonstone to a friendly monster when I haven't got the achievement. Then when I should've got 4 of them, the notif of achievement popped up. Hope this answer

Well actually I missed it the first one. But got the 3 others. 1 before Eiko(collecting those colored stones). 1 I bought from that moogle. And the third one, that not for some reason did not register to steam overlays counter... The friendly monster. it showed 2/4 even when I got 3. Then I started newgame and played to the fighting scene and got 100/100 nobels and Brahne impressed. Then I talked to brahne as steiner and got the Moonstone But that was 3/4 to the counter. So the friendly monster drop was bugged. Too bad I saved after that and another save slot was 30h ago.

Just a note to this (I know it's an old thread), but I DIDN'T get the achievement, after collecting all four, but giving one to the friendly monster. I think I should have waited until I collected all four, before completing the friendly monster quest. I know others have said they didn't have this issue, but why take the chance. Now I have to redo the entire game..
