Yeah VSR stone isn't a bottleneck as its pretty easy and usually up for hours. Not very contested anymore.
Respawn is actually something between 18-24 hours. It's a bit of an awkward timer that is also impacted by real VS popping.
Hang about KC long enough and you'll see him up though. You are correct, real VS does not drop the stones.
Yes Hate Emerald is the rarest/hardest part of the ranger epic quest. Join as much hate as you can with your guild and hope you get lucky with minis and drops. The fights aren't hard, minis are contested and the drop is rare though
