Mages stone capacity

[daikirai-VI]

hey dont know if anyone remembers when the stone cap got raised last year. I was wondering if its just me or all mages, but our stone cap is really low o.o im lvl 65 now and I can still only carry 63 hp stones and 98 sp stones, I dont think it went up in the past 3 lvls =/

There have been multiple threads on this. It will go up, just not every level.

ah, >.> ionno I just got when soloing having less then 1/3 of the stones fighters could carry >.> doesnt let us last long grinding T.T

Well, mages aren't intended to take the hits when in a party, and our damage is supposed to kill fast, not to mention, we have range, so we don't take as many hits (in theory.. not saying this is how it is). Right now, in many peoples opinion, the game isn't as balanced as it can be. For instance archers, fighters with mock, etc. Anywho, we are the damage dealers, we're not supposed to take the hits, and mock is supposed to prevent us from aggroing (althought that isn't the case), and while all of our attacks do require SP, we don't suck up SP stones as much as the rest.

And that is my theory on why our stones are so low lol.

It was designed that Archers and mages dont get so much Stones as Clerics and FIghters.

Mages really need to stop cry about it. mage is the most balance class in the game. with good gear you can have high end and high dmg. so stop cry about ur stone capicity. it's not hard to buy SP Pots or just resetone after 1-2 hours of grind.

seriously.. it's anoying to see those mages cry o0

Mage + Cleric = Mage dont need use any stones anymore.

true, were not suppose to take hits, but just saying its annoying when I have to restone every 20-30 min cause im out of hp stones, when im soloing for quests >.> guess ill just go kidnap a cleric from somewhere

I know how it is, Archers got jipped to, I can only hold 101 HP and 94 SP, while my cleric friend can hold like 200 of each, how fair is that? :(

[daikirai-VI]

heh not to worried about having 200+ just hate running from FoS back to uruga every 20 min when I work on a lic, other then that I dont really mind ^^

Harsh. Oh well. Everyone is entitled to their opinions really, some will be satisfied, some won't, the world goes on. I honestly wish I could have more HP stones, I tend to run out when I grind. As for SP, I'm fine with what I got.

[daikirai-VI]

same here Yosei ^^ like the times I pull aggro from the tanks when I use nova lol, ive had times where I ran out of hp stones before everyone else >.>

what really hurts the mages is that we can't pot during the casting animation of frost nova or inferno. we can stone, but that's it. if you're solo aoe'ing, yes some of us do that, that's basically atleast 1 stone per pull. if say you're aoe'ing blue trumpies (i think i get 800exp or less now), 8 at a time = 6,400 exp per pull. 68 HP stone capacity = 435,200 exp then restone. that's if everything goes to plan =P sometimes lag or something forces u to use another stone in the interim. pots are fine between casts, but really can't be relied on.

i can see the other player's points that mages aren't supposed to take hits, and it can be avoided by using a +0 weapon (but who does that??), but it just doesn't happen. the mages will get attacked by multiple targets, it's inevitable. gotta love tank, 2 DD, 2 cleric parties tho =)

i use the HP/SP Stone carrying bag for just this reason =P
