I found some tokens redeemable for soulstone fragments. What do they do?

soulstone fragments allow you to transfer a skill to the stone to "hold it" you can either leave it on there, put the skill on another char of the same account or put it back on the original char... soulstone frags have a certain amount of uses as opposed to a soulstone which has unlimited uses.

Thanks for the info.

But now I have to ask what that would be good for? Can you make permanent changes to characters that way?

Like if you decided you made a bad combination of skills on a character but don't want to lose a high skill by re-training?

Any other ways you would use it?

The possibilities are endless. The only limitiation is that you cannot use the same stone more than once in 24 hours.
One use is for tmappers. Cartography is not vital during a thunt. So many thunters now decode all their maps, then put cartography on the soul stone. They then use another to replace it with.

Another is for skill training. Skills get guarantee gains faster the lower your total skill point on that character. Have a skill that only gains best by GGS? Then put it on a newbie character. Use the stone to "flush" out the unneeded points (which does not use charges BTW).

I lost ya there... What does not use charges?

And is 5 charges typical for each fragment? Do they vary?

So if you put a skill on it and do not want or need it for a while, I'd imagine it's unusable (until you remove that skill)? Do putting the skill on and taking it off both use charges?

I'd appreciate any other suggestions on how I might use these. Thanks!

p.s. Baldguy - you're the best!

The amount of charges per stone frag does not vary.
Yes, you can only have one skill on it at a time.
I can't remember if it takes a charge when you put it on and when you take it off, someone else here I'm sure can answer that one.
I've personally used mine for when I want to delete a char but have a skill that I don't want to lose, I throw the skill on a stone before I delete the char. Or if I've worked a skill but decide I don't like that skill on that char I soulstone it so I don't completely lose that skill that I took the time to work up and can put it on another char or just keep it on standby. A lot of people use them for what Baldguy was talking about, a skill you don't use often but still want to have around to use when you do need it... there are so many ways you can put them to use really.

the only time a charge gets used is when you put a skill on, and take it off. (this process only takes 1 charge, not 2)

So "flushing" skills does not use a charge. Say you have a skill that you want to completely get rid of, you put it on the stone, then remove it completely by not absorbing the skill. That flushes the skill, and you do not use up a charge, and you also do not use up the 1 use per 24 hours either..

hope that helped explain it a bit.
