robindell Report post Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I know this is an old and delicate topic but has anyone actually found a binding stone in the last 6 months or so by harvesting. My alt has harvested over 1.6 mio. stuff (in total) with lots of coal (88K), silver (200K), iron (100K) and the usual sulfur, quartz, etc. and to date his total finds are 2 serpent stones. I have found in 1 year playing 2 bindings but they were both over 6 months ago. I think a well balanced or rounded character does find more proprotionally than a pure harver but surely they should find something? Lol - someone out there has a sense of humor - just found a rosto ! Edited September 7, 2010 by robindell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriot Report post Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I havent even been playing a year yet and I have found 3 binding stones while harvesting (between 2 characters) found 1 harvesting saphs, 1 on coal and 1 on silver. They are to be found. And I havent been hoarding them either. iirc I only have 1 around just in case a great sword or shield breaks. Oh, and they were all in the past 6 months btw. Most recent was 1 month ago. Edited September 6, 2010 by talon1527 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProHibited Report post Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Great swords are unusable since more will break then that you, your alts or your friends can find... I have found one binding stone ever.. in all those years on the pk server. They are just insanely rare (probably because people buy em from the shop on main???). If anyone wants to buy it, post offers I believe the break-rate of great swords is way higher then that of a simple quarterstaff so giving up on those weapons.

bkc56 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Great swords are unusable since more will break... It would seem that given the amount of full-gear PK that goes on, a greater sword should last pretty much forever. This assumes people aren't acting like newbs on main (training wolves in full TI plus greater sword (as I've actually seen before)). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProHibited Report post Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I break 4 swords and find 1 binding do the math. Edit: EEK broke first quarterstaff on my new account after 1k mobs... maybe it does break just as fast as cutty, dunno Edit2: I want that lovely npc ;S Edited September 7, 2010 by ProHibited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
