As you may know, once you hit 81, the price of crazy stone triples again to nearly 75k a pop. A lot of people I know have stopped completely and rely on WQ to get their daily major exp hit. How many of you have carried on doing CS after 81?

    The 240k ish exp I get at my level every day from crazy stone is an incredible steal for 71k of my coin... besides, an hour or so usually is enough to get me 75 - 100k of coin from grinding. During the school year this was a problem though as I usually had no time to grind so the cs drained a lot.
    Now that I'm able to grind a lil more, I'm finding the cs to be a very valuable part of the exp income.

    for some reason i would have thought it was going to cost a lot more by lvl 81

    75k is really nothing for the amount of exp your getting

    and besides as previously stated b:bye 75k can be easily made up from grinding for an hour or so

    I have done all my CS after 81... Considering the amount of exp given i think its quite worth it and its 71,550 to do CS after 81 to be technical.

    On a good note tho at lvl 91 it doesnt go up again it stays the same. :P

    If you're really that concerned with the price, check the AH. Everyone thinks that elemental shards are worth less than nothing, which is completely true if you don't take CS into account. I've spent as little as 20k on 81+ CS before.

    That being said, 71,550 at 81+ is a joke to farm. Try different mobs if you are having trouble.

    CS is the most worthwhile exp in the game, period. Only rebirth is a better return for investment, but it takes 2+ hours and a bad squad can waste an awful lot of your money. Do CS everyday.

    If you stop doing crazy stone because of 71k gold then you fail horribly. =/

    At 8x, 71k should be nothing. How often are you grinding a day? This is a 3 hour grind for me...taken just now Lol :

    i stopped doing CS at 82 when i started doing rebirth. i will be doing CS again at 86+ everyday.
    if u are low on money for ur lvl 80 or lvl 90 equipment, stop doing cs. if u got everything planned out then chances are u can spare the 71k for a cs everyday.
    for some people its just 30min-1hr of grinding, but thats 30min-1hr worth of money used to boost their lvl even higher. its possible by repeatly doing this to lvl too fast and not have the money for equipment needed for ur lvl.
    My body is made of swords.
    Iron is my blood, and glass is my heart.
    I have overcome countless battlefields undefeated,
    Without once retreating,
    Nor once being understood.
    Always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords.
    Therefore, there is no meaning to that life.
    Perhaps this body is nothing but a sword itself.

    71.5k a day? For almost 200k xp at lv 81? And icnreasing as you go up...

    Just think about this... if you do cube, you may spend triple that amount, for twice the xp... and that's still worth it.

    So, CS everyday FTW. Even if you only play for two hours a day, if you grind during that time you can get enough coin to cover repairs, CS money, and if you need to teleport for WQ to save on time.

    And still make a small profit. But, considering that time you play, it's a good trade-off.

    Cool. Yeah if you read my post again, you may notice that I didn't say that I wasn't doing CS after 81, i've done it every day so far, and intend to keep doing it. Other people I know have stopped doing it and I was just wondering if I was in the minority.
