Farming Greater Essences

[cdemeritt]

After going broke buying essences... and finding the returns on deconstructing high level gear seems to be very low vs selling them... I've taken to farming Essences....

So far I've found the Elite Waterworks nets me an average of 65 essences per run, and more like 75 once deconstruction of the lowlevel junk... (plus the is a slim chance for Ioun Stones and store stuff)... This seems like the best place I've found so far.

But this is getting boring, and I want to farm someplace else...

So where do you farm, and what's your average take...

The last time I wasted my time trying to farm essences, I did Korthos Island and the solo quests in harbor.

I have not wasted time on crafting in any way, shape or form though since 10.2 came out, but when I did, I found those area's were a great return for time invested.

Pretty much any quest I could get in and out of in less than 7 minutes.

I'm glad just to know that!

Well, in all honesty, I have not wasted any of my game with what I feel to be a failed experiment with crafting, so I do not know if it is still as good a place to farm as it was, although I do notice that lower level quests seem to drop essences more than the higher level quests, but that could just be that I can run the quests faster as I go through c/n/h/e on them as well.

doing 3 runs of tear of dakhaan elite gave me 4 baggs of vendor trash.
