Will Greater esences be dropping in epic chests next mod?

[Nick_RC]

Getting very frustrated trying to get my crafting levels up - all I run is epics and raids. Raids are on a 3 day timer and is the only area I actually PULL essences. I like the idea of crafting but why cant you just flip the switch and let them drop in epic chests? I cant imagine its all that hard.

Have posted this several times, in the known bug list and as a standalone. I will keep bumping this till I get an answer.

Cheers

Yes fix this.

If they fix this, how can turbine expect you to buy essences from the ddo store?

I read something about the return of essences in epic chests and I'll like a lot as I have the same problem: I play only epics or raids too...

[semu]

Would love to hear from a dev on this. Bump.

The way they added these is really pretty weird in general.

They just used the guild renown code in a weird way. Mostly follows the same rules of if your over the quest lvl by X you get none.. And quest length = end reward amount/chance.. (Tho having them show up in end rewards at all is buggy)

They should simply work as treasure.. and ignore your character level, instead increasing in amounts based on treasure level. Don't see any reason why you shouldn't get them for running over lvl stuff anyways, as you still get trash loot, which is all they are. in a purified form.

Tho on the other hand having some bonus on epic, like you get with guild renown might be nice.

This isn't entirely true - I've been favor farming with a toon I'm about to TR for the past few days, eliting out quests all the way from Korthos to the desert (where I'm at now). I haven't seen a *lot* of essences drop, but I've seen some. No renown though.
