Logged in after recent patch and saw the essence cost went from 200 to 600. Specifically Ashes of conviction for crusader
the increase is likely due to it being worth Legacy Points not straight Loyalty Points if this is an older essence
Define “older” essence. Also if they are going to convert loyalty into legacy shouldnt they, i dunno, convert it proportionally? Seems like a massive slap in the face if this intended
anything i7 and below is a legacy essence since the new ones were released last week. I7 now cost 600 Legacy points, below that are 400 each. Its been like this for month now, you can convert your current points down I believe but not sure the rate.
The downward conversion rate is at a 1:1 ratio, i.e. if you had 400 Loyalty Points, and wanted to unlock something that took 400 Legacy Loyalty Points, it would allow you to do so, but would warn you about the conversion and, if you said yes, would convert all 400 Loyalty Points into 400 Legacy Loyalty Points, and unlock the essence.
Right but they converted automatically after the update. But the 1:1 ratio of loyalty to legacy is intentional and they increase the cost 3x (or whatever), this does not seem right at all.
Since the latest patch, which introduced the new essences…
They didn’t increase the costs of the legacy essences, it just changed them from INF7, INF6 and INF5 and below, to INF8, INF7 and INF6 and below.
The Legacy Loyalty Points cost has always been high because, once you’ve unlocked the latest six essences, every single other legendary you extract, will get you points so you’ll have hundreds or thousands of points before the next six essences are released.
I dont know the data on RNG but I have had minimal luck on obtaining all new essences at 992 from the previous patch. Nor have I ever had hundreds or thousands of points. Wild mechanic to throw at a new player (along with diluting drop pools as new essences are added). Still seems like a flawed mechanic but is what is it.
That’s because you really won’t see the new ones drop until para 1000. Right now they are rare drops in i8 only so open world or dungeons onky.
