I collect the drops needed for the skills, and when it's charged, I can't use the skill immediately. I press down on the skill key and rows of "can't use skill cause i'm short on nature fragment" appear and about solid 6-7 seconds later, skill goes off. What is this bs?

    Tbh im not bothering with this event, takes ages to get max coins and if u dont hit the mobs it doesnt count plus it hard to see when is fully charged and can cast the skill and the rewards arent that appealing, and with such low spawn rate and not having a 2nd pc to kish myself its a freaking pain to get max daily coins, and not always can i find a friend that can kish me or time to get max coins without kishin

    I just accept that's how the skill works. At least it works I guess.
    But I also just do the picture quest and the sound quest to get 130 coins and move on.

    I must say the rewards from this event are pretty...just....!? A chair for collectors I guess. Mount for collectors too? Other than that it's just free nodestones really. I've also had the same issue where it says "Skill is now ready" but it wont work until I collect 3-4 more flowers lol.

    Free symbols. With a background style cape it's not hard to tell when the skill is ready.
    It's a between seasons events so it's going to be a bit... suck.

    I think the issue that the op is talking about is that there's a delay between when the chat box says the skill is ready and when the "background style cape" changes for the last time + skill can be used.

    I agree. It's not very clear when the skill is ready. I didn't even notice the 'skill is ready'. As soon as I think 'WOAH the aura thingy looks damn big now' I hit the skill key and it works. Didn't have issues with the delay though.

    The thing I'm personally confused about is how the points add up... When you hover over the skill, it says: '... then press the skill key when glimmering light surrounds your character to deal damage to enemies and obtain 300 story of pebble and wind points. You'll also earn 15 story of pebble and wind points for each monster you defeat using the skill'. I'm pretty sure I did it right... I even had the 300 points added in the lower right bar... But as soon as I did it again, a lot of my points were suddenly gone? Suddenly I had about 140 points... Instead of the 300 points. I did it A LOT of times again and right now I'm still at 168 points... They add up with only 3 - 4 points every single time...

    Not sure if I understood incorrectly, did something wrong, or whether something's just not right?
    Someone else have the same issue? Or am I thinking about this totally wrong?

    100 points is one coin.
    The long bar counts the points to the next coin, and the round yellow coin-shape with the number in it counts complete coins.
