World Of Warcraft Unveils New Currency And Instructions To Acquire Rank 3 Essences On Alts
Last week, Blizzard Entertainment announced that they were finally giving all characters in an account access to Rank 3 Essences provided that one character has already earned it the hard way. But, you’ll still have to work for it by acquiring a new form of currency called Echoes of Ny’alotha.
“If a Rank 3 Essence has been earned by another character on your account, MOTHER will offer that Rank 3 Essence for 500 Echoes of Ny’alotha. Any player who is eligible to purchase at least one Essence from MOTHER will now receive Echoes of Ny’alotha from a wide range of activities in current content.”
Echoes of Ny’alotha can be earned from Assaults, Horrific Visions, Emissary Quests, dungeons, raids, and PvP among others. Each activity will grant different amounts of the currency, with Assaults and Horrific Visions giving the most. “The general goal here is that doing Assaults and associated Horrific Visions should provide enough to get at least one Rank 3 Essence of your choice per week,” explains Blizzard. “Doing other content you like (PvP, dungeons, or raids) will increase that significantly, depending on the level of content you’re doing.
“Of course, Essences can still be earned normally via their associated activities, so if you want to get your Essence of the Focusing Iris directly via Mythic Keystone dungeons and then buy others from MOTHER, that’s now an option,” the studio adds. “Within a couple of weeks of hitting max-level on your alt, you should be able to obtain your preferred Essences by playing the game as you usually would.”
Head over to the World of Warcraft official forums for more details.
Two thoughts for players checking into Essences after maintenance:
1. Log into your main first, so that the system is primed for when you log into your alt.
2. Don't expect to see Echoes of Ny'alotha dropping for your main, unless you have at least one Rank 3 Essence on an alt. https://t.co/8bRGVPn7HY— WarcraftDevs (@WarcraftDevs) March 17, 2020
