Situation:

I have a shield containing two +9 crit manastones...

I get a better shield... I want to get those two manastones into the new shield... I go to the manastone remover in town and learn that you lose the manastone and keep the item that way... so I go to the general merchant dealer, buy a manstone extractor >hooray!< and try it out... >AAAWWW< I lose the shield and both manastones and all I get in return are two enchantement skills stuff?

I use them on my new shield in hopes it will replace it with my two +9 crit stones... nope.. I just get a + enchantement skill for each one...




LONG STORY SHORT:

Is there a way to get a manastone out of an item and keep it as it is in order to place it into a nother item??

If not, maybe this should be brought into the game??? I wanted the manastone... not some enchantment skill... lol

Nope unfortuantely not, you need new stones for all new items

damn that sucks....

thanks though

aye, sadly all new items need new Manastones.. but on the plus side.. enchanting a shield or a weapon has awesome benefits. I always try to get +10 on all my stuff.

There is no way so far to get those manastones back and thats the reason why we drop so many from exp. I suggest ya to use a lot more the extraction tools as they give sick boost up on any item you use as long as you are lucky on enchanting it.
And dont try to buy enchantments from Auction house as you will see big amounts of kinnah to leave from your pockets to air...just break every item ya drop into enchants and pray ^^

If anyone is still unsure how the enchantment stones work and and so on, please have a look at the Guide on Enchantments, Manastones, and Godstones

It helped me a lot!
