All Rank 4 essences are going away in the prepatch, and Rank 4 of Lucid requires all Nazjatar followers be rank 30.
Assuming you did all dailies every day, you could gain a level a day and finish with all followers in 90 days, just short of 3 months.
This month is August.
3 months from now is November, and Shadowlands will come out on or before December 31st.
As prepatches normally last a month, the prepatch will be released on or before November 30th.
So, is it technically no longer possible for a fresh 120 to obtain Rank 4 of Lucid?
Or can they “cheat” a little by using 3 characters to each level one follower to 30 to get the rank in 30 days instead of 90?
Are the ranks 4’s going to translate into anything useful?
Rank 4 is ego stroking. A different animation on a necklace that will be out leveled by 55 or so.
Edit: It’s not like the artifact skins or the warlock green flames, where you can show off.
I don’t think they even activate outside of BfA content?

They don’t. The only reason people are going for the R4 is for the FoS and Title which is going away. That will last. But you need them all R4 so it is quite the grind.
And the PVP one is almost basically unobtainable right now so yeah…
I got mine out of a paragon cache.
Strike that, no I didn’t. What the hell did I get from a paragon cache.
Ok I found it. Ignore my ramblings.
This doesn’t factor in the exp items that can drop. Also Mrrl sells one as well.
They can reduce the overall time significantly.
This one is 150 follower exp for all 3 followers
This is 100 exp for all 3
There is also a lesser quality bark for 25 exp for all 3, and 3 individual items that can drop giving each follower 50 exp. You can also get an item to give 75 exp to the follower of your choice, again sold by Mrrl
Gathering them each week will reduce the time a great deal, although the tome is rng locked on the vendor.
