Faras,
I feel your pain brother- :)
I have been extremely lucky in obtaining my first 4 Lambent stones. I paid
20 pp for one, the rest where given to me by friends or guildmates, who
actually held on to them for me until i needed them.
I also refuse to pay more than 20 pp for one-and I sincerely believe that
the only way we can accomplish this is by being in aggreement across the
board as the Bardic community,not to spend more than 10-20pp for a stone.
Yes you may get the occasional butthead with money to burn who will throw
100pp+, but I think these people are few and far between-hang in there, and
make friends.
I have always used humor to get what I need or want- its tough to refuse a
request if you make someone laugh- they've been camping or hunting for
hours,and I'll say something that I know can bring a smile or laugh. You'd
be suprised how many responses I get to the positive.
Also, having the mana song doesnt hurt either :)
Good Luck
