Polly Forest Marni stones not filling

[Dhansak]

Have been farming there this week and filling stones as usual. However today post patch, they stay at 0 kills.

I had 2 empties ready in my inventory - no joy. So I bought a 3rd one just to see if it would work - but no kills registered there either.

Just wondering if it's something weird at my end or whether anyone else has the issue.

Everything else seems to be fine thankfully - Skill Exp gain etc is normal as far as I can tell.

Stand down! Discovered I had somehow acquired a Great Marni stone (50k kills - gulp). No idea how I got it between now and the last session, but that was the one filling up instead of the regular marnis i had bought.

Just an FYI.
That Polly 50K kill box.
I have one too.
The reward you get for the 50K kills is meager, very, VERY meager.
I don't even know why it exists.

Ahh - the reward sounds very disappointing :( Thanks for letting me know it's not particularly worth pursuing.

Will just put it away in case they make it worthwhile in the future. I have no clue where it came from lol.

It's a RNG reward for taking out a Poacher or Grave Robber in the Polly area.
I leave mine in the Grána storage.

Mystery explained! I wondered what sort of thing he dropped - must have unwittingly caught him in an AoE. Grana storage it is :)

wait?
I dont think it is an RNG drop from a grave robber/poacher
I am pretty sure it can drop from any mushroom

after you hit level 62 it is no use having marni stones anymore at a place like polly
and if you are there killing mobs anyway you can/should probably use the great marni stone
if you are lucky you get something worth 100m
unlucky and you get 20m
it is not much maybe
but it is better than nothing

My Character was level 61 when I got mine.
You're right joj0.st4r it is a rare drop from just grinding.
All it gives you when you complete the 50K kills is a Marni’s Supply Box.
The Marni’s Supply Box will give you an RNG non-upgraded yellow accessory.
I personally feel that is a sucky reward, since I do not upgrade accessories, and a non-upgraded yellow accessory is basically an Asula accessory.
It's not worth the 50K kills to get that.
I'd rather get the combatXP from the regular Marni Stones.

FYI my character was also level 61. Maybe a change in the recent patch?
