Kind of wondering why when breaking down major stones for minor ones, we only get one? Wouldn’t it make more sense to get more especially since we’re not only using a bigger stone, it’s also using souls??  
Just a thought.

F2P games aren’t about being fair. They’re about making sure progress is only fast if you spend money.

So the devs prefer inefficient conversions. Going from A to B or B to A tends to cost more items than what you get back. The alternatives are you can:

- Wait until you get what you want.
- Buy some pack that is a $700,000,000 value for $10 and gives you the thing you need.
