Jax used the Earth elemental threads, trying to understand how they could be used. The main thing he could think of to use it at the moment was just as a stronger thread to wrap others with it.
It would be much more difficult for people to just get out of the threads.
Jax kept the last Earth stone, intending to sell it elsewhere. It would bring him a bit of money after all.
"Do you think I should use the Mud stones right away, or should I wait until I gather more?" Jax asked. He only had 3 stones for now, but he was certain he would need at least 5 if not more to unlock the Mud elemental threads.
"Use them now. The progress to unlocking your elemental threads should be percentage-based," Gemma said. "Meaning if you need 6 Mud stones to unlock the Mud threads, and you use the 3 now, you will be halfway done. So later in the future when you will have improved and may need 20 even, since you're already halfway done, you might only end up needing 10."
