    As codestones are becoming expensive, I'm looking for alternative ways...

    Is Key Quest a fast and cheaper way to get codestones?

    Junior's right.. it's not FAST per say, but it's a free way to get codestones. One game takes 10-15 minutes if you're lucky, and you usually can get at least one codestone per key, maybe two for gold keys. If you have a lot of time on your hands it's definitely a way to go :p

    Definitely not quick, but you really can build up a nice supply of codestones and neggs. Neggs have been helpful in my training as well, and even though it is a bit time consuming, its fun, and a free way to build up some stats. :)

    well it is a pretty good way to earn codestones, maps..

    by using 2 different browsers, you can let one account win on purpose and you can redeem both the gold and silver keys in the end..

    i did this for a period of time but got tired of doing it..kinda time-consuming..

    Codestones don't restock in the main shops, but they can sometimes be found in the igloo garage sale.

    I've made a ton of NPs selling my codestones from Key Quest. It's extremely time consuming though.

    KQ is probably the best legal moneymaking way besides restocking, on non theme days I get a daily profit of roughly 150-200k, right now the PB and lab map piece rates are lowered tho :B But you can still get codestones. I avarage ~10 per 10 gold keys.

    I have over 100 codestones that I have stockpiled through playing KQ and RE's ... I'd say that it is a pretty easy way to get your hands on them, although it is kind of a longish process

    I feel that the cheapest way would just be staying up late and going on the AH because you can get codestones once every few minutes for 2-3k lower than what it's worth
