Yule Festival - Essences

[BlackBeret92]

I couldn't find where exactly to put this, but as it pertains to here I figured it was good enough. With the Yule festival coming up I thought I would bring up the scaling of essences. I urgently ask you guys not to scale the 120 essences to 130, but on the same token I do think the level 50 essence box should be scaled to 70(not sure how it would work for live servers other than just leaving the quest at 120). We wont be getting an "essence festival" for the entirety of 85 cap, so these would help to fill out the stat curves for the 1 or 2 filler pieces that people would be still using(mostly for level 75 bells and lashes tbh, but there are some other glass cannon uses). They would still be BiS at 85 for the people who cared enough to grind them, but they wouldn't be too overpowered, as to create a rift between the players that didn't.

Please devs give us 75 essences. This would keep me doing this run for the whole festival.

PLEASE bring golden helegrod essences back

Or go normal servers, essences has nothing to do with the legendary servers... At least not at 75 cap. If you want to min/max just go normal server lol

Also, aren't stat caps insanely easy to reach now days anyway?

you are incorrect and a lot of people were looking forward to those

No..I'm so thankful they are removed

They hugely upset balance when the raid comes out. Basically you are forced to grind storvagun on a dozen of characters, then put those essences in your vault because you don't know yet what classes will best be used in the raid and they are character bound. And even then, everyone is only gonna have 1 char wearing them

With the bracelets at least I need to do Storvagun only on 2 charts per 1 that I want to equip (4 if you want a dps and a heal set for example)
So you can equip 2 or 3 chars and have some flexibility for your raid group. And the bracelets are probably not gonna stay best in slot for the whole level cap unlike gold essences

My guy... This entire thread is about bringing back the gold essences for level 75(70) ONLY. It's literally in the original post that we don't want the level 130 versions. Not to mention this post is on the Legendary Server thread. Everyone I know was very excited to get these for our 75 bells/lashes and they 100% should be brought back for that purpose.

Rim had to help me post the images, because I wasn't able to. This picture was posted in a discord earlier today. Low level gold essences were removed for these? These are marginally better than level 60 loot. They aren't even on the same planet as my 75 bracelets. As of right now, there is literally no reason to run Storvagun on Legendary Server.

Even with an essence slot and a BiS essence(level 60 golds, which I don't have any extra of), it still gives less crit and morale than my current ones and the mastery/finesse are useless with how easy it is to cap those stats

I'm very disappointed with this update. Gear scaling has actually been very good up to this point on Legendary servers. The motes gear has always been a bit iffy(which it should), but the new jewelry is even worse than those..

Either these bracelets need a MAJOR buff or we need level 70/75 gold essences added to the quest
