What lore do you ignore?

I personally ignore job stones, I understand their gameplay purpose but on a story level the idea of "get this rock and you know immediately how to do all of this specific stuff" is pretty dull to me personally. The stones with the memories of the ascians at least serve some kind of practical purpose that is brought about by the vast time abyss their job is taking, but most of the time in the job quests the stone is just There for gameplay purposes.

That is not correct.
It is stated, that the stones help to learn things faster.
Whe see it by Alphinau, who needed some time with the stone of his father to learn the Sage skills. And that is even counted as fast.
Whe see, how the stone needs time, because whe obtain new skills after some lvl happens. And by the older jobs is it even stated, that the stone obtain new power/awakening new power, after the class quest is finished.
And now are the stones in a state, where they learn from us.
