Essences of Aman’thul

[Unbelievr]

Just opened my mythic+ weekly chest after picking up the quest and got 15 essences (50 are needed for the quest). Dreamweavers Emissary gave me 3, but a friend of mine only got 2, so I guess it's random.

What was the maximum M+ level you did last week? Is it 15 for everyone, no matter what?

[ItsTiddles]

Also got 15 from my m+ cache. 3-4 for emissaries so far.

Question: in the blue post, it said weekly pvp quests also give essences. What are the quests exactly?

You get 15 for weekly chest, Not sure how much for the Caches BUT any caches you had before the patch ARE dropping essences AND 940 Legendary if your lucky enough to get one

Any proof for the latter statement? It directly contradicts the blue post.

I think they're referring to this: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ne...s-in-patch-7-1
Basically, 10 wins in a ranked bracket.

GG to all people who still stacked emissary chests. I guess you guys have more than 50 Essences of Aman'thul right now.
A big fuck you to blizzard.

Got 15 from a M+6 cache
3 from emissary cache

looking easy to get.

Only if you stacked the 'quest'... not if you stacked the chests themselves.

RE: Legendaries it does, but no blue quoted anything on the essences.

so blizz lied about making it so that saving up caches wasn't worth it?

RE: Legendaries it does, but no blue quoted anything on the essences.

I did say "the latter part" but should have probably specified further. I meant the legendaries.

The essences dropping from saved up emissary caches doesn't contradict blizz. It's still bullshit if you ask me.

Seems to be 15 for everyone I've spoken to; the highest I did last week was only a 9.

A casual player is going to get 40/50 at least a week, with no raiding .. I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you

I would be upset if people started getting 940 legendaries from saved caches... that's not so easy to quickly rectify.

I'm not worried - I'm curious how many the NH bosses will actually drop but since I expect to clear that raid weekly, starting tomorrow, I basically do my emissary every day anyway and the mythic weekly cache seems to drop quite a lot I will have the couple of legendaries I got upgraded quickly. If it really goes too slow I'll force myself to do some PVP for three weeks or so

Me being worried and finding a design decision to be stupid are too different pairs of shoes.

proof of the legendary part?

[Bombercloner]

You could get 2 days of emissaries ahead with this. I imagine if you had 50 boxes in your inventory then those did not drop essences, but I bet if you had completed emissaries and then you turned them in this morning after the release of NH then you would have been able to get the essences as well as upgraded legendaries. My RL told me to save the emissaries from Sunday and Monday to turn in today.

proof of the legendary part?

Wish this was proof but it isn't - this could be true or could be a troll, just from the picture this could as well be from today's emissary bag or a random treasure he just picked up, or LFR EN for that matter.

The design decision isn't to do with the essences, the design decision was made years ago - on random quantities.

I saved my caches and got NO essences from old ones. No picture proof, but if you look at old posts of mine you can see that I have noted in past threads that I opted to save mine. New ones from past couple days that I hadn't turned in yet did give essences. 2-3 per. 15 for Mythic+ cache

[Farabee]

It's a little bullshit that you could stack up the last 3 days of emissaries and log in to get free essences, even.

That said, this quest shouldn't have even been necessary. Blizzard should have did the same thing they did when they did the 895-910 boost instead of making us grind even more, but that seems to be the theme of Legion.

Because being years old automatically makes a decision smart?

Now who to believe?

If the design is functional for 99%+ of the cases, and changing the design would require excessive work - then yeah - it is smart.

The design isn't the issue - that's fine.

The issue is the communication about the design.
