I meant stones not stings. Sorry

Help with getting magic stings?

Karla, what level are you on?

Sorry about that. At the alchemist table, you can transform 3 green stones to 1 blue stone. Then collect 3 blue stones to transform into a yellow sun stone (don't know the official names). Then, 3 yellow sun stones make a red star stone. It takes a long time. I found that constantly sending my 2 balloons (having the crates ready when they return) gets me the green and blue stones. Today, my balloon brought me a yellow star stone. Does this help? I usually over-explain. lol

If you don't want to stay on the dive, just let him run out of air. He brings up what is in the bag. Although, you cannot complete certain tasks until you have the amber stones from the dive.

transforming the green stones to blue and so on is the only way I have found. It is long and tedious. I would like to see a task that would make it easier to get them.
