    2 Keys or some arenas or bgs or raid bosses or literally an hour of anything = 50+

    2 Essences, on the first day this is out.
    If you can do a +15 and a full vision clear you don’t probably need any essence on your alt.

    i mean you can earn 4 visions per week so thats 1 essence just from that

    you dont have to do every single thing in the game and besides each alt will only be using about 4

    my main alt has one rank 3 already


    people seem to miss the point that you will never grind every single essence on every singel cahracter

    i have one raider that is swapping to an alt and even he is set on targeting only a few and thats like 2 weeks

    gross.

    but in line with boosting MAU policy
    i dont even think you know what MAU is and just parrot crap you hear

    you get one essence pretty easily each week and can probably boost it to 3

    this^^^^

    like look at my pally i havent capped yet

    i will simply get vision rank 3 by doing the dungeon

    i will get the island pretty quickly

    i will buy the rest which is like 3....oh my god a whole week of DOING CONTENT ONE WOULD NORMALLY DO ON AN ALT

    i will immediately be gaining currency from the visions and the emissaries

    Why should you even bother. If you have no Guild RIO hast nullified your chance for pugging mostly (At least if you want to play a different Role on your alt ^^)
    It seems like Blizzard wants to grind the sh*t out of Visions otherwise they would't buffed them so hard. Nice for the 2-3 Mask Boosters for Twinks, now they can fight with the M+ Boosters in the Trade Chat because as long you got Vessels Visons keep increasing efficiency compared to M+

  6. #26
    i think this thread just has people who cant do simple math

    i mean for a week just with the emissary you get 350 (450 if you saved 2)
    opening assault 125
    little assaults 150
    visions if you do 3 during the week and only get 2 side areas then you get 300
    so for the week that is an easy...i really mean easy....925 and if you dont really suck then its over 1k
    boom two essences

    how many essences do you want on your alt???

    because you can get some really quick without having to buy it

    Luckly or Unluckly (Depends how you see it). I rerolled from my Heal to a DD Toon, because I dont like bening forced to Melee DPS in M+. So I almost have all necessary Essences at Rank 3 except for Lucid Dreams and Condensed Life Force, wher only Life Force is Mandatory and LD only under certain Situations, so basically 1-2 Weeks or 1 Week doing everything ^^. I just wanted to indicate Twinking from 0 (Or Fresh 120) has more flaws than "just" farming 3-4 Essences. The only Essence not worth Grinding those Echos for would be crucible of Flames, and Vision of Perfection maybe if you are lucky in low m+

    Yeah, some boyz in these comments talk like alts are full damn power rangers, running 15's and killing assault elites in all zone in 10 minutes combined, super ninjas and everything. They make me lol so hard.

    Chars who need essences are not powerful alts. It will all look like a grind for them because they will struggle with some quests and will take decent time. Not everyone is an ilvl 470 DH destroying half map in 5 seconds...

    How do you get that to 400?

    125 from major assault
    75x2 from minor assault
    150 from full clear
    50x7 from emissaries

    125+75x2+150+50x7 = 775 1½ essence.

    I think he counted what you can achieve in the first day.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by how easily we will be able to buy rank 3 essences on alts, considering every activity rewards the new currency. I expected way worse (the legendary tokens in Legion took a bit of time). Even for undergeared alts, getting two rank essences a week isn't unrealistic.

    Black Empire Assault 125
    Minor Assault 75
    Horrific Vision 100
    Emissary Quest x1 50
    Ny’alotha Normal x12 180
    Ny'alotha LFR x4 100
    Mythic +7 21
    Day 1 651

    Second Minor Assault 75
    Weekly PvP Cache 175
    Weekly Mythic+ Cache 140
    2-3 Horrific Visions 200-300
    Emissary Quest x6 300
    Rest of the Week 890

    Total 1541

    Things to note: I do admit that my day one would even have me floored in exhaustion but it can be done. I didn't include any repeatable activities. If you're gearing an alt then I'd presume you'd be doing multiple Mythic+ runs for more echoes, but no higher then a +7 for the weekly cache. Secondly, I didn't add any PvP activities because at this point of the expansion, outside of CTA ganking there's no actual pvp involved to capping conquest for the cache. As for Horrific Visions, I made the bare minimum Boss+2 Wings with the assumption that you only have 1 key on day one from the assaults and 2-3 throughout the rest of the week. Lastly, even taking away the raids(atleast normal+ as you do have to dedicate a huge amount of continual time), you'd still have plenty of echoes for 2+ essence per week.

    I mean its obvious why they state currency for that and why the systems came up *just* after the Cloak is 15 (theoretically if you grind up) and you can now kill every boss in LFR so the Content is officially out until Shadowlands Pre-Event in late Summer to Fall.

    I think almost everyone is so fed up with the multiple grinds they run wild if they see even the tiniest amount of new grind and I cant say I'd convict them.

    Yep. Standard assaults are already a big nightmare for any char under about 440 ilvl, they take ages unless you are lucky enough to do events with other random players.

    I honestly hoped in a simple vendor, also because this system like it is could already have been implemented in 8.3, non need to wait months.

    I'm really happy with this, getting 2 essences a week on alts will be quite easy and that seems perfectly fair. If you play a fair amount you can likely get 3 essences a week, so you can easily catch a new alt up with everything they need in about 2 weeks. No complaints at all, that's way better than I was expecting it to be and I'm very excited to get my alts caught up with gear now that I can actually play them.

    Chill.

    Back in the days to play alts we didn't need to grind other things than gear.
    You could've just do dungeons/raids and will be fine. Now we need essences, neck, cloak. Which is ridiculous seeing how much time it costs.

    You shouldn't be in 5s let alone 15s at this point without essences.

    Even my herbalist/miner druids have enough neck level to equip 2 minors now.....
