For the past few days I believe Abyssea is broken when it comes to the stones. I traded 1 stone b4 and it came out to 120 min when clearly I had 25 min +33 min on one orb concluding to 58 min in abyssea so made no sense to me, then when I traded the orb it says your time has been extended by 12 min WTF O.o common!!!. today I had 98 min and in less then 30 min I was down to 1 min when I was fighting an nm seriously I lost alot of min's and nothing too but to take the warp out and have to wait the hr to get back in. I hope I am not the only one going thru this. please let me know if anyone is experiencing the same thing.

Lol Dasva left Ramuh, wonder why.

On topic, did you trade a stone after already getting TE? TE counts as part of your total 120 minutes so if you enter with say, 90 minutes, and you get TEs, that will max you at 120 minutes but for some reason, he still lets you trade him a stone.

When you extend your time, it will only give you the minutes added to total 120 minutes upon entry.

For example, Nevill has 20 minutes stored. Nevill has no abyssite to add time to stones. Nevill uses 3 stones to allow 110 minutes in abyssea. 30 minutes later, Nevill is wandering by the prospector and decides to add time. Nevill trades 1 stone and gets 10 minutes extension into abyssea.

In case you didn't know, you cannot extend your duration in Abyssea past 120 minutes by using Traverser stones. For example, say you went in to Abyssea with 100 minutes of leftover time from your last time in Abyssea. As you reach down to about timing out, you decide to go back to the Surveyor and turn in some more stones to extend your duration more. No matter what happens, you'll only be able to trade in a single stone to gain 20 minutes of time, because of the limitation of the 120 minutes. Only way you can remain in past 120 minutes is through Time Extension chests.

To address the original post, there is a glitch where if you trade stones while in Abyssea and you have the abyssite for an extra 3 minutes per stone, there is a chance that it will extend your time by only the 3 minutes. This has happened to many people before, myself included.

On a side note, please do not use all bold, it makes it annoying to read.

On a further side note, when I saw the title of this thread I though of something more akin to this:

After you've entered abyssea and trade stones for the first time is the only time you can trade for 30+ minutes. If you have already been in the zone and then go back and trade another it seems to only give a third of the time a stone normally gets.
This is horribly wrong. Read posts above you and don't post misinformation.

Sorta right-ish. You can only obtain 120 minutes via stones/excess time from your last visit. So say you had 60 minutes left, you grab that 60 minutes, then use a stone. You now have 93 minutes. Your party sucks *** as usual, so you need more time. You go back and trade in a second stone in addition to the initial time you grabbed, but instead of getting 33 minutes, you receive 27 minutes because 93+27=120. This is probably what that guy was experiencing, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the OP's issue. Whatever the hell the OP's issue is.

that depends on what your definition of cool is. if when the "major" na linkshells are comprised of the kind of people who play brd with only one instrument, then brag about how good they are at brd, is cool, then yes, ramuh is where all the cool kids are.

I didn't know I posed bold till it was to late and there was no bold tag on the text when I was writing the post.

what I am talking about is having only 25 min only saved inside abyssea no party no time extension no extra nothing, when you trade an orb it's suppose to b 25min +33 min right so why am getting only 12 or 4 min from an orb that's suppose to give 33 min extra (32 if I am wasting a min) and then telling me I have 120 min left in the area when I only have 25+33="58" min, in ghetto Hispanic terms Esssplane.

there aren't many relics on ramuh, so no, they just buy an iron ram horn or something and sing everything in it.
