Eternal Palace Off-Spec Rank 3 Essences Not Bundled Together Under the New System

Recommended Posts

Rank 3 Essences of different specializations from the Eternal Palace are not bundled together. They must be unlocked separately, meaning the Tank / DPS Essence won't be purchasable from MOTHER if you only earned the Healer variant and vice versa.

This applies to the following Essences:

Conversely, Mechagon and Nazjatar Essences are bundled together, so if you unlock just the one for your spec, you will be able to buy the off-spec Essences from MOTHER.

The Echoes of Ny'alotha system came with a few issues so far, and you can find an overview here and a list of all Essence item names purchasable from MOTHER in this post.

Eternal Palace Essences were formed by a loot drop from wing bosses, just like the singular Void Droplet essence is in Nyalotha.

Mechagon was unlocked via reputation levels and purchased through S.P.A.R.E parts boxes and oscillators.

Nazjatar was unlocked via reputation levels and accumulating follower XP through dailies.

Apples and oranges.

-Edit

Has anyone confirmed that they can actually buy for example, the tanking essence from Mechagon through MOTHER if their primary character did not have the tanking role available? i.e. Rogue main and DH alt.

While that may be true, the system has so many exceptions that we thought it would be best to mention this.

Good idea, and thanks for that!

I guess in the end either way would make sense, to me anyway.  I just wish it was consistently one way or the other for ease of remembrance.

Okay so lets look at why they did this, instead of just saying its different. Let's say it didn't matter, you made one EP essence you can get any of them on an alt.

Let's say your primary character is a druid like mine, but you only formed the Tank and DPS essences because you only do Bear/Cat, or you stopped running EP when Nyalotha came out, or you just plain forgot. For whatever reason, you never formed the Healing essence.

You have shaman alt that you heal on, and you buy the Healing essence. You then log back in on your druid, and because your shaman has a rank 3 essence that you don't you can now buy it from MOTHER too, without either character having ever collected the necessary reliquary pieces to form ranks 1-3 of the Healing essence.

That's why its not bundled for EP. If forming the reliquary pieces had instead been turned into a vendor that unlocked buying ranks 1-3 of any of the 3 essences for say, manapearls instead, then yes it would make sense to have all 3 available regardless.

My main is a BM Hunter.. my alt is a Prot pally. I can confirm that you CAN NOT get tank essances from Mother after unlocking the dps equivalent essance on a dps toon. RIP having a tank alt, guess I'm limited to only dps alts.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?
