Bring back the biweekly OR buff the droprate and put a weekly cap. This drop rate is insanely low.
sparks are extra...not mandatory or expected. It's a little bonus that you may or may not get. I mean 5 free 418 pieces are enough (or 4 iof you craft a weapon). Do you really want all your gear to be 418 from crafted? lolI myself got 1 spark on an alt while the character Im playing all the time didnt get any in 2 weeks, but that is FINEcalm down people,please
bracken and citadel rares every day with some of the newer 30 minute ones fluffed in-between, probably 30+ keys a week, not completing all difficulties of raid but i would say probably 25 raid boss kills per week, probably 300+ dirt/scout packs/magic bound chests per week (yes i play a lot) and ive gotten a total of 3 extra bottled essence so far, one almost right away the first day and each one after was about 5-6 days apart of grind it seemed.i've had better luck with rares than any of the other activities but i know people who have gotten them from scout packs and dirt so i do them all. also saw one drop from a raid boss so far.basically if you play 10 hours or less a week you are gonna have a bad time trying to farm these. this week i plan to work on some alts and chill out as i could only have very minor gains from 3 ilvl increases with a spark in a few slots on my main but you can grind it out, you just need to really spend a lot of time working that low low drop rate... could they increase the drop rate sure, but then people would complain they have to spend more gold they dont have because they still dont play the game enough or that they end up having a bunch of account bound sparks they cant trade to alts etc... wow players complain to complain, I'm one of them complainers, just about other things lol
Seems like a drop each week should be more or less guaranteed, nvm blizz cba and just leave it up to rngesus.
Short version that is much closer to the truth: Bottled Essences drop like Dragon Shards of Knowledge did 2 weeks ago, same sources and same droprate.
bring back the "every other week" quests for the guaranteed spark please - leave the random drop chance but give us a way to grantee one as well
did not get 1 the past weeks....... cleared normal and heroic raid..... killed rares when i seen them up, did not go out of my way to get them. also dug 200+ dirt piles..... filled out my vault from M+ too...... but like the guy below me said. " take this out and put back the biweekly quest!
It's not worth farming this, it's too random. If it drops it dropped and that's all there is to it, crafted gear shouldn't be main way to gear yourself anyway so drop rates shouldn't be higher.
The thing that make people mad is that some people have got 3-4 in this 2 weeks ,an other people got 0! Myself, have been doing normal, hc and a couple of the mythic bosses. Also been farming rares, doing at least 5 m+ dungeons a day since the update and i havent gotten any. Very bad system. It was better when they gave 1 every other week.
