hmmm... that is puzzling indeed. First inclination is to say she's missing a CS with joachim or Gilgamesh or someting that has somehow buggered it up. But seeing as you guys are going to Shinryu, that shouldn't be the case. I've gone all the way up to the spire and got the CS's--just haven't fought Shinryu yet, and I'm getting 3 per day.

Sounds like something may be hosed at the server's end for that account. IDK how you guys are going to track that down. They ultimatly might have to take it offline and do a restore or something. Would suck to do that though and potentially loose stuff she may have acquired since the last backup was made.

Derr if she was missing an initial CS she surely wouldn't have FOUR stones in her Key Items already, Shinryu access, oh and a bunch of abyssites including one that requires building fame from doing quests in Vunkerl Inlet....

That was covered within the same post. Third sentence already clarified that point made in the second sentence.

Please, troll somewhere else...this is a serious issue if there indeed is a bug in the system that can prevent anyone from participating in what has become one of the main aspects of FFXI.

Yep, she definitely has all three. Double-checked to make sure.

Her stones are just not going up now, stuck at 0 and it's been over 8 hours.

Did you zone (not to MH) before checking again?

I have actually just noticed this myself today. I had 425 stones the other day before I had to leave for some business, and when I returned 2 days later I still have 425 according to the NPC. Now assuming I get 3 stones a day I should have came home to around 430+ stones and I didn't, I had same # as when I left. Maybe the NPC just doesn't count them anymore or what (kind of hard to test by blowing through that many stones), but something seems off with npc and your current stone count.

Try using a stone to add time to her, warp out and then check.

Honestly with the amount of time one spends in abyssea exping daily you should never need stones. I leave abyysea alot with 500-2300 mins. Stones just go up and up. Also you do not need cut scenes to get stones to build up. i had all 3 abyssites and never once did the cut scenes til i killed all zone bosses and cutherea. Then i spammed the cut scenes and got Shinryu access.

Wheels,

While this isn't a thread for discussion about how to accumulate time for/in Abyssea, I feel the need to note that not everyone play the game the same way. I for one only ever had in total a few EXP parties in Abyssea and indeed needed tons of stones to do quests and whatever other things the content has to offer. I was running out of them at several points of time, so no, not everyone "spend time in abyssea exping daily".
Also keep in mind the maximum of 120 minutes after re-entry. ^^;


And now back to the actual topic.

Adding to the other suggestions and the list of information requested by Ashvrei, I didn't notice a statement of actually entering and using stones after this issue surfaced. With that in mind, is the character able to enter Abyssea in the first place, and are the "Rise of the Zilart" and "Wings of the Goddess" expansions still properly installed and detected by the service?
