Dawning Essence is not dropping like it should. I’ve got hundreds of ingredients I can’t make cookies with because there’s never enough Dawning Essence. Seems like it’s dropping at half rate,

1/2 hour farming Del incaru will get u like 300-400 essence if you team up with one titan. Never had issues with the essence farming but lucked out on getting gift in return.. I get like 1 gift in return out of 7 cookies

Oooooo

"A Gift in Return" seems to have an abysmal drop rate as well. Why am I not surprised?
-
They need to buff the gifts.
-
Weekly and newest Dungeon and raid encounters should give a good bit. Trials should give double that of normal crucible. Comp should give 1.5x. Give Gambit and GMs some love with 1.5x base. Higher difficulty seasonal activities should also give more too. No reason to run anything beyond Control, strike playlist, or lost sectors rn

Turn dawning spirit into essence and it's a fix. We need to have fun so killing any enemy should help us.
-
I get plenty of dawning essence just from playing. A gift in return though is a completely different story. They need to buff the drop rate there for sure.
-
Yep it sucks -blam!- but it’s intentional. How else are they going to keep player time up?
-
Playing the Dawning is a good way to ruin Christmas. You people are really addicted to a bad time, aren’t ya?

Try running an expert lost sector, it's in the Dreaming city right now and it's basically 20 of essence for a 2/3 minutes run. -
Edited by Prowler690: 12/18/2024 2:26:04 AMThe overall drop rates are pretty poor so farming the right activity is the most efficient. If you have at least two in your fireteam then the Shattered Throne final boss is the ticket, save the CP on a secondary character and use it to farm with a friend or two. GL the knights and a Titan consecration or two takes them out then just 2 shots from Wardcliff Coil the boss, rinse and repeat for 21 to 22 essence a pop. Takes around 2 min per run including loading in. Expert lost sectors - good for solo depending on sector but basically everything is fine apart from the Pale Heart sectors run as a team to speed things up and if you aren't bothered about exotics. (Note Master does not give and more essence so don't waste the effort) 20 essence per run and takes around 3 to 6 min running solo depending on sector. You can also select the Devils Lair strike from the node in the Cosmodrome which is easy to run in 5 min. Rewards 8 essence per run.

I get 19 for expert lost sectors. Right now is a good time because they are in the dreaming city. Those are short and easier.
-
Run expert Lost Sectors. Today is Bay of Drowned Wishes. It can be easily soloed in under 5 min and cleared in 2 mins with a fire team. Each clear drops approx 20 Essence. Equip the season 12 Dawning Ship for additional essence drops.

Agreed. It takes about 30min to hour for materials to drop…only 3 Essence of Dawning ever drop for me in half an hour, lol. -
Essence is usually the limiting factor. Best way around it would be to play something that has a decent time to amount of essence ratio like gambit. Obviously not a feels good situation though.

Seems like it’s dropping at half rate,[/quote] How do you think it should drop? What are you doing to get It? It drops from activity completions. If you are on patrol you can do patrol missions, they drop a couple. Public events drop 5 no matter if made heroic or not. Lost sectors drop around 3. Then you have strikes, gambit , crucible, etc I've received between 17 and 22 after a strike and other activities.
