Does anyone know a better way of finding the lava rock to power up the mana statue? Sometimes I find it fast, but other times it takes almost 2 days worth of energy to find it. I've tried whacking bushes in one of the possible locations until I've gotten it and I've also tried whacking 4-5 quick whacks per location and then moving on to next location until getting it.

When it takes 2 or more days worth of energy, I start to think it's not worth it.

I have decided that after spending over 5000 energy to find a stupid lava rock to no avail, I'm going to ignore the mana statue. Too much of a hassle...especially when all those areas are 100% and you get no benefit from wasting that energy.

P.S. Devs, please kick in the face whoever came up with the powering statue idea. Thanks!
