Thanks for that.  Now I can at least move on knowing not to worry about those stones.  Much appreciated.

I'm near the end of Arc II, I've done a majority of the Guild Quests, as long as the mega quest which has you returning an egg to a temple under the sea.

Basically just getting side-quest type stuff done before I finish the game.  Now my problem.  I converted my data from Arc The Lad I, got the Romancing Stone, and have found all the other Romancing Stones throughout the game.  Hoever - I stupidly sold most of em (except Romancing Stone 4) - Now I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to recover them?  Anyone have any ideas?
