You have access to something they don't</p>

<p>These aren't a requirement to kill anyone.  You want to use them, pay the price for them.  If you don't want to pay, learn to fight without.</p>

<p>If you need more status to buy Pumice Stones without killing tons of players just to buy 1 set, do more high level tradeskill writs.</p><p>If you don't think that's a viable option, then you really aren't going out of your way to make an effort to get them.</p>

[TniEradani]

<p>like you're entitled to pumice stones?? roll a defiler then</p>

aren't you a fury ? serene symbol ?

<p>There is another option to get status and that is to run an instance or 2. The end mobs give status when killed so bash through a couple quick instances and you'll get what you need.</p>

<p>Funny when ever someone ask how to get status people seem to forget about what i think is the easist way city writs the ones for Highlands give i think 17kor 18k its close to a pvp writ anyways.You kill around 10 mobs or so the mobs go down quick.while your out and about pvping do the writs.Take a litle time and bust out some city writs.depending on where the writ mob is and how condensed the population is 30 min tops to do the 3 writs you can get.</p><p>I dont think they will reduce the price for those stones and now that you metioned they can be use  in BG some blubie is gonna read it and  call for it to be removed. So you wont have to worry buying them for BGs for much longer.LOL</p>

<p>i dont use pumice stones but would like to. they are too costly for me. i could see a small reduction of somesort or make it so you can buy them with pvp tokens or status.</p><p>what you think?</p>

[Thinwizzy]

<p>If you require a pumice stone to get kills, maybe you should spend less time worrying about your status and more time researching how to pvp effectively.</p>

[baldwinboy3]

<p>i said i dont use them</p>

<p><strong>See I wasn't looking for suggestions.  I was looking to see if we could get a reduction in price.  Not one of you supported it so your loss <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></strong></p>

<p>I bought them with my 25 Ranger/54 Woodworker. The only way to afford it is with TS writs at a medium to high level. I only use them on Wiz/Warlocks.</p><p>I agree they are too expensive, for the level I want to use them at, maybe not at 80+.</p><p>To the people that say LTPvP, dispelling is a key part of PvP, as a class without dispel capabilities, there is no other way I know of.</p>

[VegasKiki]

<p>I'm just going to pretend pumice stones are like the Diety spells that used to work in pvp.  Nobody else but me thinks they are awesome to have and use...but are way too expensive so I drop this subject.</p><p>Feel free to edit your posts to.  Thx</p>

[VegasKiki]

<p>And yes, they used to work in pvp.  </p>
