it would be cool if there was a trait that increased the drop rate of runic and arcane stones! i do a lot of traitstone farming and there are traits for souls and gold but not for traitstones, it would be really cool xD ---

Give that to the Dwarven Miner! Would make him be worth taking. ---

maybe a spell that gives a % chance to get extra stones ---

Maybe Runesmith, a character that literally creates traitstones in his lore, could actually help create traitstones in battle. šŸ˜œ ---

Interesting idea but I doubt it will happen. It limits the troop choice in farming stones. You basically get a flat raise in drop rate and can only choose 3 troops. ---

> [@karma](#): > > Interesting idea but I doubt it will happen. It limits the troop choice in farming stones. You basically get a flat raise in drop rate and can only choose 3 troops I must respectfully disagree. The same could be said about ā€œchoosingā€ to take a gold or soul farming troop. You then only have 3 troops to select from. By end game you are essentially farming with 2 troop combos anyway, I would probably take two of them to further increase the %! šŸ˜‰ ---

Right, you are talking from a playerā€™s perspective. I am talking from a slightly different one. ---

And there was an event in the first half of last year where using Runesmith in your team gave double traitstonesā€¦ so itā€™s not that far a stretch? šŸ˜› Though more on topic, while I like this idea in theory, Iā€™m not sure how well it would work in practice, for reasons @efh313 mentioned. Weā€™d see it on a number of troops (only legendaries and above have unique traits) so the ability to build a team around the trait is probably quite doable. However, the main bottle neck for high end players (I believe) is traitstones, so a trait like this would cause some major shifts in the economy, and might not be something the devs want to do, as traitstones are probably a large part of their IAP income. ---

Yeah, Iā€™ve recently hit all kingdoms at level 10 and have started to shift my focus to souls. Trying to trait Pharos, but the Arcane Spirits donā€™t want to drop D: I agree it would be nice, but Iā€™m not sure it would be good for the game in the long term from the economy point of view.
