On a related note, we need to start brainstorming what to do AFTER touching the stone. None of us could figure it out on beta, and we all just kind of assumed that we had to find and click many stones over the course of several days/weeks. That still might be the case, but it's worth investigating more. The emote when we click a stone says that you hear something dart away behind you, and then nothing. The buff itself has a tooltip that says you're filled with some sort of power, but the buff only lasts 20 seconds.
I didn't try it on beta, but can someone try teleporting to the Dreamway immediately after clicking a stone? Perhaps the Wild God darts away behind us back into the portal, through the Dreamway, and into a different zone? Maybe we need to make it back to the Dreamway with the buff still on us? I dunno, it's worth a shot, but my roll didn't yield a screech for me today to test.
