This issue brings an introduction to the functions of stone arrays in "Gui Gu Eight Desolations". In the game, stone arrays are not only important tools for players to explore the vast world but also a core mechanism that runs throughout the gameplay. Its functionality far exceeds ordinary teleportation points, serving as a key hub for movement on the map and providing crucial nodes for resurrection and strategic planning.

Stone arrays in the game are mostly located at the center of regions, and players need to find them through flying with a sword or walking exploration. The stone arrays on the map are initially covered by fog, and only by activating the stone array can the surrounding fog be dispelled, lighting up a certain area. This design not only encourages active exploration but also makes every discovery of a stone array full of accomplishment. After activation, the stone array can illuminate about two hundred yards of the map, which is particularly important in dangerous areas because unactivated stone arrays may hide powerful enemies or special mission events in the fog region, while the lighting function of the stone array provides safer exploration conditions for players.

Activating a stone array requires consuming certain resources, usually 200 spirit stones. In the early stages of the game, the sources of spirit stones are relatively limited, so how to allocate them reasonably becomes particularly important. After activating the stone array, players can use its teleportation function to quickly move to other unlocked areas, greatly reducing the time cost of long-distance travel. In the mid and late stages of the game, as the map gradually expands, the teleportation function of the stone array becomes especially prominent, helping players switch between multiple states quickly, thus saving a lot of time for tasks and resource collection.

However, the significance of stone arrays goes beyond teleportation and map exploration. They also provide a resurrection function after player death. When players activate a stone array, they can bind their soul to it. Once they die, the character will resurrect near the nearest activated stone array, avoiding the need to travel long distances again. This mechanism is particularly important in high-difficulty battles. For example, when players encounter strong enemies during secret realm challenges or sect missions, the stone array provides a reliable resurrection point, helping players quickly adjust equipment and strategies to re-enter the battle.

The number of activated stone arrays is closely related to the achievement system within the game. When players successfully activate a certain number of stone arrays, they can unlock unique titles, such as "Stone Array Conqueror." Wearing this title makes it easier for players to discover unactivated stone arrays while exploring the map, providing great convenience for players who enjoy full-map exploration. Additionally, these achievement titles come with certain attribute bonuses, providing extra assistance for character growth.

In the later stages of the game, the role of stone arrays becomes even more prominent. Players can choose a stone array as their central anchor point and conduct resource collection and adventure activities around this anchor point using teleportation and resurrection functions. For example, during sect competitions or multiplayer battles, players can use the stone array to quickly travel between the battlefield and safe zones, not only improving endurance but also gaining tactical advantages through teleportation.
