| -Right now it is a pain to farm demonic essences, their drop rate is just too low for an item that much needed by the players, -Considering the actual drop rate in mp10 is 38.9% it is just extremely low, considering most players have to craft in amounts of 100 or 200 at the same time, it just gets too annoying. -There are some upgrades that cannont be achieved without crafting at all, i'd like demonic essences to be guaranteed when killin every single elite monster in mp10. That'd be awesome | ||

That'd be awesome Your post is pretty interesting, because most threads I've seen (both here and on other Diablo fan sites) typically say that Essences drop too frequently. I'm glad you created it, since it's generated a lot of great debate on the topic. Couple of questions for you so I can get a bit of context for where your feedback is coming from (anyone is welcome to chime in): - On what MP do you typically farm? - Do you usually just farm casually and pick up whatever Essences you acquire along the way, or do ever go out of your way to farm Essences specifically? - About how many Essences do you pick up in a session? - Do you use those Essences immediately, or are you a player that likes to stock up? - When it comes to crafting, is gold the limiting factor for you or are Essences? - How many Essences would you like to ideally see in a farming session, and why do you feel that amount would be better than what you see currently? Thanks! [Post edited one time, last edit by Lylirra at June-11-2013 2:06 PM PDT (10 years ago)] | ||

I would like to see demonic essence drop rates a bit raised, but I can see validity of having it fairly low (due to ability to craft BIS). That's certainly one of the biggest influences on the drop rate. Even so, we're always open to making adjustments if they're what's best for the long term health of the game. And getting a better understanding for how players who would like to see the drop rate raised approach farming and crafting just informs that decision in a much more meaningful way. | ||

I think "How much gold do you spend on crafting" is an important question too. If someone has billions floating around, there's no way he will ever find enough DE to craft. Valid point is valid. I'll amend my previous post. | ||

Check out my post. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9280358077 This explains my stand on it, if you haven't already seen it. I have to farm on MP 5 with over 300k dps unbuffed. Do you know how discouraging it is to know that lower MPs give more benefit? It's so boring. Lylirra, if you have spare time... if you would please read this too: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8729063950 thank you! Sure things, guys. I'll take a look. :) | ||
