[quote]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,[/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.
