World Of Warcraft Updates Makes Acquiring Essences More ‘Flexible’
Is it just me or is Blizzard Entertainment finally learning to be a bit more flexible when it comes to the World of Warcraft game mechanics? Last week, the studio made it easier to for players to acquire Rank 3 Essences for their alts through the new Echoes of Ny’alotha system. Over the weekend, the studio dropped a significant update to the new system to make Essences more available to characters of different roles (i.e. tanking, damage, and healing).
“With this change, we’ve lifted the restrictions on acquiring role-specific Azerite Essences from MOTHER. Now, the various ways that you obtain Rank 3 tanking, healing, or damage-specific Essences are now grouped together. If you’ve earned any of the three Essences in these groups, all three of the Essences will be unlocked for purchase from MOTHER with Echoes of Ny’alotha.
- Spark of Inspiration, Unwavering Ward, Strength of the Warden (obtained from Horrific Visions)
- Touch of the Everlasting, Spirit of Preservation, Breath of the Dying (obtained from reputation with Rajani)
- Blood of the Enemy, Artifice of Time, Sphere of Suppression (obtained from Battlegrounds)
- Condensed Life Force, Vitality Conduit, Azeroth’s Undying Gift (obtained from raiding in The Eternal Palace)
- Essence of the Focusing Iris, Life-Binder’s Invocation, Anima of Life and Death (obtained from Mythic Keystone dungeons)”
The changes also have the added benefit of allowing single characters to easily obtain off-role Essences through the original way or by using their Echoes of Ny’alotha to purchase them from MOTHER.
