I have one of these and use it when powerleveling any caster types. Usually they level so fast that they fizzle like crazy on trying to cast AE spells. Run around with damage shield on and pile them up to a noob who can AE or use AE potions and bam. They fizzle out, then try clicking the mana stone to get all that mana back. Works wonders, don't have to invest time in working skills up to get the job done.
If you know how to use them properly, they are highly highly valuable. Mage went from level 1-75 in 3 hours.
It costs so much because it is no longer dropped therefore presenting to soe long time EQ players that same type of aura that a rookie card may to some baseball card collectors... some may call this the EQ Mickey Mantle... There is currently one for sale on Drinal for 600K but I am not sure who the seller is as far as out of game contact would go
This item can make for an even more potentially deadly rival in the arena. Yes, you may lose hp pretty quickly, but if toss a heal over time on yourself or use a hot potion, it will make up for it, not to mention you can click and pile up your mana on the run if the situation were to call for it. Pretty nifty, I think.
Disabled in PoK, still works in the Bazaar. It's a shame they nerfed it in PoK. Worked great to regen mana while enchanting and imbuing stuff for tradeskills fast.
Seen some ask 1mil for it, but never sells. What all can you do with it still besides buffing people in pok. It wont work in any actually useful zones.
Well, imagine you are an out of mana wizard/druid. Use secondary bind where you are fighting, port to an old world zone, fill your mana and recall back. 2 minutes instead of 30 to med up.
Also works for clerics with a faithstone, although its not ideal, because you have to bind at the fight spot, faithstone home, then port back.
Lets see, with Clairvoyance, SA and Maelin's methodical mind, sitting, with FT 20 and the 3 from AAs, i regen 92 mana per tick, with no bard in group.
That's 920 mana per minute. With a 13778 raid buffed mana pool, that is 15 minutes to med to full mana.
Now, that is assuming raid mana buffs. In an exp group, there is a decent chance that I will not have SA, and I will be using KEI or potions. That reduces mana regen sitting or horsed to 78. That raises regen to full time to Almost 18 minutes. Make it an indoor zone, where i might be using yaulp instead of horse, and you end up over 20 minutes.
Perhaps 30 minutes was an exaggeration, but then it is less of one than saying "a couple" minutes to med up from OOM.
With the new "med up in 3 minutes" commming out, this thing will become useless, correct? Lose aggro, wait 30 seconds, med up to full in 3 minutes. Who needs a manastone or a manarobe?

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you thought you heard was not what I meant.
This is true, to some degree, against group flagged mobs. However, when fighting raid mobs, the timer before you reach OOC status is 5 minuts, not 30 seconds. This still means that the appropriate classes with secondary recall can get some fast mana using the mana stone/robe.
Also, don't forget, if you're on a mount, you can chain click this, while staying in OOC mode, and convert the fast regenning HP into extra mana making the med up time less than 3 minutes, if in a zone where it works. Which means it'll be real useful for twinks, less so for mains.
The price for this is overthe top now, only cause it still only works on old-world zones, except they activated it to work in the Bazaar and PoK (geeThanks). Wish they would just activate it for all zones... and if anything, turn it into a noDrop. Me personally I have one, but it does me no good unless I want to create a new character... bah, no new characters needed... many AA's needed for main Mage.
However, since it does work in the revamped Splitpaw and revamped Mistmoore zones, I might be able to do some PL'n with it........ Still it should work in all expansions (that's just MHO)
This is the ultimite use for the manastone i've found...I have my 39 cleric(2nt account, same cpu) sit at a druid/wizzy portal, then dump my mana killing with druid/wizzy, port to the cleric, manastone/ch, gate back. You can do 51-60 levels(single levels of course) in less than 5 hours this way.
I'm sure you could find ways to do this with other classes...but wizzy/druid is the easiest.
I know for a Fact this works in Mistmoore even after the revamp. I hear it works in Splitpaw also. Once I make it to the Undead in Mistmoore I can easily solo and get decent AAs xp. I do what the shammys do best Root, Dot, HoT, and eat myself.-70cleric.
I can confirm that the Manastone does work in the new and revamped Splitpaw as well as in the revamped Mistmoore. I bought mine on Zeb for 200k before the revamp of these zones not expecting it to work after the changes to those zones, but sure enough they work. Wonder if the prices of these will go up now? lol
Bah, It's a canni I. It sux in the long run, cuz you will become F#%^%@^ly tired to trigger it. I know that because I am F#%^%@^ly tired to do it even with canni IV.
I can't understand why people would like to have and use canni I. It just a pain in the A$$, just torture.
Some guy has THREE (yes...three) for sale in the Vazaelle bazaar for 500K each. Total rip off but I guess its good for those people who like rare items.
Someone on Torvonnilus has 7 for sale on his so-called 'dedicated' bazaar vendor. Go to the baz and do a search...he's the only one selling them, so far as I've seen.
I've wanted to get my hands on one of these for a while now, just to have. I'll probably just end up getting a manarobe instead, as these are so rediculously expensive and so rediculously useless. I guess it's sortof like Black Lotus in Magic the Gathering...something to be the most expensive thing in the game, might as well be the most useless and hard to get item. Better manastones be 700k than, say, Blue Diamonds or somesuch.
I believe years ago this used to drop off the Evil-Eye in Lower Guk. It was removed from the loot table because it's extremely overpowered. Consider a cleric with 4000hp. 4000/3= 1333 mana generated from his hp and 400 mana to CH himself. That nets 933 mana in less than 1 min. High-end clerics can easily get 6000+hp. Do the math.
Today, this has two key uses: 1) It makes powerlevling a breeze if you have a high level healer. Toss a cleric heal-over-time on a noob with this and you can regen your entire mana pool in seconds with barely any mana used by the healer. The cast time is instant, you can click this 5-6 times a second with typical lag. Since it works in old-world zones there are plenty of places to powerlevel to mid 50's very quickly with this. 2) LDoN Adventures. If a group wipes the cleric can generate massive amounts of mana just outside the zone-in. Run in, rez, heal, run out, manastone up, run in, buff, run out manastone, etc. You can have a whole group rezed, healed, and buffed in less than 5 mins after a wipe. Hand this around to your closest of friends like a peace pipe and let them manastone up as well. If you are really good your group can pull 5-6 mobs at a time, have the cleric AE nuke like crazy, zone out, manastone up, rinse and repeat. A 65 cleric has 4 AE nukes of considerable power, two of them have a 1 sec cast time. boom,boom,boom,boom close to 3000 per mob in about 12 seconds, not even count crit nukes. Cleric starts to make a time-equipped monk look lame in dps.
Use your imagination...this item is one of the coolest (and insanely powerful) items in the game and if you ever see one for less than 100k, maybe even 200k, you should gobble it up. I remember when these were 30k about 18 months ago. I should have bought every one up.
And I'll let you in on a little secret, any class can click this from their inventory even the ones not listed on the item, like a paladin. A 9k pally can get 2/3 of thier entire mana back off one cleric CH with this.
As a 65 Necromancer this is completly usless it acctualy becomes ussless to a necro at about lvl 39 or 44 and at 49 you regen more mana than this for less hp and at lvl 65 you use this same hp every 6 sec and regen 50 per tick and this thing has a re cast time of 9 sec 300k my ass.
I fail to see how this is useless... especially when grouped with a healer. The hp/mana ratio is better on your conversion yes, but since this is insta-click, it will actually likely be faster. Figure 4-5 clicks per second of spam clicking and you're looking at 600 mana per tick from this alone. Either way it doesn't matter, as this will stack with your conversion, thereby at least doubling your mana regen. Pair with a cleric to CH you to full and you've got MASSIVE mana regen.
For a cleric with a faithstone, this is awesome. Bind in the zone you are grinding (assuming its not an old world zone), and when low mana, faithstone home. Click yourself back to FM, CH, gate back. Thats a lot faster than waiting for 6k mana to refill on its own, even with FT15 and Clairvoyance.
Real handy for raids, since Conviction costs 1300 mana to cast, and is not a group spell (yeah there is a group version, but its level 70, and takes a bunch of raid level runes to get).
Would also be very useful to a druid, since they can do the bind, port, canni, gate thing as well.
So, perhaps its not really necros this was intended for. Now get over here and twitch!
It Does work in POK (healers are always handy) and does NOT work in other POP zones, LDONs, Kunark, Velious, or Gates zones. (I have not tested in "old planes" zones yet - someone pls update if they have) I've seen them go for 300k pp and I would Not sell mine for 999k. Anyone know where I can find any blue/lt blue mobs at lvl 56 to quad in an Old World zone???
OK! It's a stone that you can only use in Kunark, Velious, and Antonica. It decreases hp by 60, increases mana by 20 each time you click it. Yes it's cool but no longer dropped.
Only works in old-world pre-kunark zones. Any old-world revamped zone before mistmoore/paw the manastone was DISABLED (like the hole and CT). No Kunark, no velious. Until mistmoore and splitpaw there were no places to use this beyond lv 54 or so. Best your could do was zone to a "legal" zone, stone up, and zone back. Best used for powerleveling and LDoN wipe recovery.
Recently PoK was changed to allow it too (since no mobs there). Manastone can help out in tradeskills for chanters if you need to use mana vial or cultural brick spells, etc.
No one here seems to mention it... but the rumour on my server goes that the manastone can actually be used in LDoN's since these are still in the old world zones....
Nope, cant be used IN ldons but you can zone out and stone and zone back in. If your still near the zone out when low on mana this tactic help. Once you've made your way pretty deep in its of less use.

Prices are going to vary all over the board on this item from server to server. Some servers have a lot of these, because they are the "original" servers. Some servers have zero, because it had been removed before they were online. Everything in between. Add to that the prices/values that fluctuate from server to server ANYWAYS, and there is no definitve price for this item.
this only works on OLD world btw ppl... nice? YES ... but doesn't work on pop or any of the later expansions ... the mana robe works everywhere ... but a crappy 3 cast.
