    Any plans to change the min's gained in abyssea or more -time wait on stone timers?

    Chaning Time extentions to like 15/30 min timers or having a 10 min chest and a 15 min chest would be a really nice idea...
    Or changing the stone timer? from 8 hours to like 6 or something?

    you can't possibly be out of stones with the minimum timer. you got like 40 stones over the time the game was down. this really shouldnt be an issue and doesn't need to be modified. Farm time before you go after NMs and you'll NEVER run out. I have well over 200 stones and I couldn't use them all up if I tried.

    Stone fragment values and traverser stone regen don't really need to be adjusted. You get up to 3 full stones per day with the abyssites, and with a little planning getting TE from chests isn't that hard to do if you set it up right.

    The biggger issue is with the initial request/saved caps. We have abyssites that extend the value of each stone to 48 minutes--that's a 60% increase over their base value. Yet, no means to increase the cap on how much time we can request with those stones or save on exit.

    When you first start Abyssea, you can carry up to 3 stones at once that total 90 minutes with a 120 minute cap. As our time gets extended with abyssites, eventually those 3 stones EXCEED that cap. As it is now, if you have all the abyssites and you use more than 2 stones you are waisting time (3 X 48=144). We need at LEAST a cap of 150 minutes now, not 120. It doesn't necessarily need to be a 1:1 ratio with the abyssite extensions (although, that would be even better)--could be just 3 or 4 new abyssites or line of quests based on some new research/development with an Abyssea version of Cid or something that raises the cap 10 minutes at each tier.

    I have left Abyssea numerous times with 500 minutes minimum and max of around 1400 minutes. TE is so easy to do.
