I thought they got rid of the 9PP for a greater lightstone deal with the
gypsies? Didn't you give it to them for something and then sell that item
back? I was told by several people that they had put a stop to that, before
I ever got a chance to try it out...
Also, has the wisp spawn on the island in Erud's Crossing changed again?
Back in May I fought there with a Ranger for a day or so before a patch and
made like 100pp selling the stones for 4 gp and change, but after the patch
the spawn was cut by two thirds and I would get a stone of any sort like
once every ten kills.... and then they added in the burned outs.... so
frustrating to loot, see a stone and get all excited to find out it's
burned out?? of course everyone is used to that now....
