Let me think....
If I make a toon in Khyber Vet 7, I level it to level 8, somebody gives me a stone of experience and I am lvl 16. Ok. That is clear.
As I am lvl 16 in that server and I have the pack, I would get 5 stones to give away?

There are three levels of number of stones.

The 79.99 Collectors Edition gives you five stones per server.  The stones are for characters of level 8 or higher and the character goes to level 16.  I only purchased the collector edition.

The 49.99 edition gives three stones.

The 29.99 gives one stone.

You are also given a bunch of loot when you receive the level raise.  But I have only done one character and then I tried to change to another server BAD idea.

I cannot connect at all.

It´s worth a shot. If you want to have an alt in Argo, you know whom to ask.
Until the weekend I won´t have time, I guess. I will PM you if I want to do it (I already have a horrible alt dependance...) Thanks!

Just made it to level 8 last night, logged on this morning to a DDO lotto win of 5 XP pots and 5 minutes later I was level 16. Then power flickered, modem reset, and I cannot log in.

I'm so confused - the DDO write up says you can use it on one of your alts - but can the alt be on the same account?  It says you click the person you want to use it on, so I'm guessing you can't use it on an alt that's on that same account.  This will probably give me the push I need to actually do something with my second account.

The "limit one per account" ticks me off. I bought the collectors ed so they are going to give me five stones. What do I need with five stones when I can only use one? The stones are a great idea since I can't stand leveling and want a few characters, but they only let me have one???

you can pass it through your shared bank to use in on an alt on your same account....or get someone else to use one on your alt.

Shared bank or email can be used to transfer to an alt on your account.

You know what you can push?

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

This is a great marketing gimic actually. The more people who reach high levels equals more people willing to buy the expac which is designed for high levels. But since we have already bought the expac, they only let us use this once. They have our money after all, so just use us to recruit others.

Your nuts.

So if I use a stone on an alt, that's it for that account?  Even if someone else uses their stone on you, they can't do it for any alt on that account that used one already?

The idea is not that you use them on yourself to speed level.  The idea is that you use them on friends that you convince to play the new FR content with you.  (Which starts at level 16).  Thus bringing new players into the game.

They forgot that most existing players hate noobs.  Even when the noobs are their IRL friends.  As a result, the stones are most useful for speeding up a TR. 

Personally, I think that using it on anything but a 2xTR is a total waste.  If you can't level a 1st lifer from level 8 to 16 in a weekend on a steady diet of BB/xp farms of Deleras 4, Von 3, Shadow Crypt, Wiz King then the stone isn't helping much.  It's slightly less than 1 million XP on the first lifer from 8 to 16.

You have to separate using the stones and receiving them.  Each Account can only receive one Leveling Stone on a single toon.  So, if you account has 6 toons, one of them can benefit from the leveling stone.  The other 5 cannot.  Who uses the stone on your toon is irrelevant.  It could be you, it could be someone else.

You can use as many stones as you have.  I have 5 because I got a collectors set.  (Well, 15 actually because I bought 3 of them on 3 different accounts).  I can use 3 of the 15 on my 3 accounts.  One each.  The other 12, I have to use on other people's accounts.  Presumably, people who did not buy the x-pack.  If I use them on my own account, the stone is gone for good.  If I use it on another account's toon, I will get a replacement in the mail.  Thus, I actually have 18 stones to use (15 + 3 replacements when I use a stone on someone else).  If I use 3 of my stones on other people, I will get a free new companion in the mail. 

That's my understanding of how it works.
