Introduction

Stones surround the inhabitants of Elmoraden everywhere. Some of them shape the destinies of heroes, while others lie along the road, waiting for the moment.

Some are huge and fundamental. Others are small, yet holding significant value for their owners. In everyday routine, most stones go unnoticed.

Only a few attract the attention of travelers, despite their practical or symbolic significance.

As part of this study, the most well-known and significant stones found on MasterWork were examined. Below is a selection of the Top-10 stones.

#10

Stone of Purity NG

A stone known to almost everyone. In the early stages, it is mostly used to create Top B-grade dual weapons and to subsequently obtain a subclass.

Despite its accessibility, it remains relevant in later stages of progression, finding use in various crafting processes.

#9

Blue Seal Stone NG
Green Seal Stone NG
Red Seal Stone NG

Stones obtained in catacombs and necropolises. They are used when trading with the Priests of Dawn and Dusk for Ancient Adena, which is required to obtain high-level equipment.

They maintain stable value over a long period of time and remain in demand due to their role in crafting.

#8

Lambent Stone of Eternity NG

A stone obtained during the quest “Bring the Flugegeheimen”. It is used to purchase recipes and craft Eternal weapons.

That is a key element of transitioning to top-tier equipment, determining the character’s further development.

#7

Portal Stone NG
Vacualite Floating Stone NG

Stones used to access the dragons Antharas and Valakas. They are a mandatory requirement for entering the respective zones.

They are tied to one of the most significant types of content. Because of this, they gain special value and attract the attention of organized groups and everyone associated with them.

#6

Baium Epic Boss Lv. 85

A cursed emperor who is in a state of petrification. Under normal conditions, he appears as a large stone object with strictly restricted access.

The statue periodically gathers a significant number of observers around it. Upon closer inspection, it may seem as though the statue is smiling.

#5

Tablet of Vision

Tablets of Vision used in the process of obtaining the third profession. Each class interacts with several of these stones. This occurs sequentially and grants access to new knowledge.

They are used to activate Resonance Amulets containing information about the power and origins of classes. In practice, this involves long journeys between remote and hard-to-reach locations across the continent.

#4

Fire Stone NG
Water Stone NG
Earth Stone NG
Wind Stone NG
Dark Stone NG
Divine Stone NG

Attribute stones used to imbue weapons and armor with elemental properties. They allow damage or defense to be enhanced through the infusion of a corresponding attribute type.

Stones are an integral part of equipment progression at high stages, require gradual accumulation and careful allocation. Their effectiveness depends directly on the chosen attribute and does not always match expectations.

#3

Lucky Enchant Stone: Weapon (A-Grade) NG
Lucky Enchant Stone: Armor (A-Grade) NG

Modification stones used when enhancing weapons and armor. They are used together with standard scrolls and increase the chance of successful enchant.

Despite the relatively small increase in success rate, they are regarded as an important factor for success. Especially in critical modification ranges.

#2

Moon

A celestial satellite observed in the sky above the continent. Under normal conditions, it is a standard astronomical object that does not attract significant attention.

Rumors say that at certain times the satellite takes on a form known as the Eye of Shilen — a symbol of the manifestation of the power of the Dark Goddess.

Technically, the satellite can be classified as a large stone object, making it the largest observable stone.

#1

Superior-Grade Life Stone NG Foundation

Used in weapon augmentation. It guarantees the acquisition of a random item skill.

It differs from similar stones by having a limited pool of possible effects. This significantly reduces the number of attempts required to achieve a desired outcome. As a result, it becomes one of the most effective tools for weapon augmentation.

Absolute Stone

Stone of the Primeval

A stone located on the Primeval Isle. It is used as a key point for organizing large-scale hunting of local fauna. The main farming activity is structured around this Stone.

It is regarded as a kind of monument to events from one of the seasons, during which intensive resource farming took place, accompanied by active sieges of the Stone by opposing clans. According to available observations, these events had an impact on the economy and power balance. The consequences of these events are still being discussed to this day.
