Hi all,
can you please help me what I need to do to take this essence
to rank 2 and then to rank 3?
For rank 2 it looks like that I need something from operaton mechagon. If I am not wrong that is just the dungeon. Do I just join it? Do I have to dos omething inside the dungeon?
Thanks
Alex
However, since m+ is available the required item also drops from the Junkyard part. Not sure about LFD though, but I expect it to be similar.
And that counts for R2 as well as for R3, but for R3 you just need multiple items instead of only 1. Gladly with M+ you can spam it and, moreover, multiple can drop at once.
Doesn’t need to be m+, just the dungeon, can even be heroic. You want Operation Mechagon - Workshop. I think workshop anyway.
The essence progression is basically.
Kill boss, loot r1. Kill boss again, loot blueprint to make r2. Kill boss more times to loot 4 progression sprockets which combine to make r3. R4, if you wish, is reward for clearing whole place on mythic with no deaths.
I actually had looted the blueprint and handed it in at pascal without realising what it was (yes i know, reading is hard) So for those that is a bit silly like me, make sure to check if pascal had the blueprint already
Rank 1 is a drop from the last boss
Rank 2 is a plan that requires 10 spare crates and 5 charged energy cells, also drops from the last boss
Rank 3 requires 4 drops from the last boss.
None of the drops are guaranteed bellow m0, but m0 and up all of them are guaranteed.
Workshop and Junkyard both count.
Blueprint: Perfectly Timed Differential required for Rank 2 is not a 100% drop, it’s 14%.
You can get it from Heroic Workshop, I got it on my first Heroic run.
I suggest queueing Heroic. Heroic dungeons have daily reset.
It didn’t take much time to be honest, I queued as DPS (like 15 minutes or so)
Some people still farming for Rank 2, for instance, returning players, people who gear alts, etc.
I managed to get up to rank2 very easily by just grinding heroic mechagon.
Then came rank3. Apparently it should still drop from there. After 10 runs, I still had no parts dropped (need 4 I think). I dont know of their droprate, but it seems relatively low.
Sure its my very inaccurate guestimate based on just those 10 runs, but even IF it was 1 in 10, I’d still be doing it 40 runs. I may have been unlucky, but even if it was half of that. I’d still be doing 20 which is still pretty large number of runs to collect the parts.
