So...Only way to get nodestones at this point in time:
Farming

Oh that quest that gives you 5 free nodes.
...we need more options.
What about putting Nodestones into event boxes? Give them a say...20 cap per day. Easy, not too overpowered because of the Node RNG involved (and amount of nodes to max out other nodes) you can even make them only transferrable in account so people don't sell them off.
What about adding Daily quests for Nodestones in the Arcane River? Even if its just like 3 per area...that's a good 9 (or 12 once Arcana hits) nodes per day.
What about a Nodestone PQ? Some sort of weird mining node shards to get nodes.
What about adding them to Reward points shop in both Reboot and non-Reboot? Everyone wins
There are a lot of things that could be done for making nodestones a little more accessible.
This makes me so happy you have no idea right now. Although they aren't the gear I want (-cough- Gimme Lucid Set in a SET, or the Midnight set) it makes me so happy to see a gear set...I am ALMOST tempted to buy NX but I don't really want this particular set...but it's a step. Hopefully you guys will release NEW sets in packages...cuz guess what? Id buy them.
