Is pre nerf harvest actually balanced for SSF and standard players ?

this isnt a regular top tier essence

essence of horror is only obtainable by corrupting a specific high tier essence and the chance is low. rituals did not grow these essences either even after juicing it with vessels. by that logic we should be flooding with horror essences because rituals are still a thing. they arent. i think if you bother every single person selling them, you might muster up enough for... one success. throwing away 150 horror essences like that just isnt smart

They mostly drop from Harvest and Divination cards. Note enough essence monsters are proccing and the Ritual and Harvest spawn rates are only 10% vs the League on base, and the seed results are far less. (5-8 mods per harvest pod).

You could convert any top tier essence into Horror. I had about 70 Essence of Horror in Heist League. Didn't purchase one.

ie Harvest allowed you to convert all top tier essence into Horror.

i had to log in to check my essences. i leveled to 100 in heist doing only contracts and my lifetime horror essence total is 18. what were you doing that got you 70? the contracts i ran were completely random and i opened most of the big chests that werent armor/weapons

edit: for reference i have 118 deafening essence of contempt, the highest tier of one of the regular essence types

also harvest can only swap between other corruption essences. you cant swap a normal high tier essence into horror

Three Voices, all 3 other essences got converted to Horror. Stacked decks and generic drops do wonders. I also don't just Heist. I also Map.

I didn't touch crafting? My entire Ritual characters gear was selfcrafted except for the helm which I mirror'd.

Spoiler

A bold statement coming from someone who think it would be easier to add an Elevated shaper mod with no Harvest Tags to an item compared to an Essence mod that deterministically can be crafted with essences.

You really "self crafted" those?

Found all the bases yourself?
Never bought one conquer ex or ex to lock?
or one TFT add/remove?

If so that's pretty good. But most people have distorted view of SS craft. EVen finding a base can take days of grinding which traders can skip.

All I did was farm harvest in ritual to lvl 98. I never found one remove uninfluenced for influnecd to finish my gears. Never got enough add remove lifes either for my chest either. Need STR gone and real lifes.


I "self crafted" this OTOH in harvest trade - all perfect. (sorry no idiotic gilded fossil:P)

I can almost guarantee she/he didn't farm the convoking wand or the rings; those were far easier to buy the base than to craft. However, I completely believe she crafted them up after buying them. The only thing she/he probably didn't do was make the +3 Socketed/35% Minion Damage rolls on the rings. Someone got lucky and split that ring like 30 times. It's probably based off the same exact ring I bought and duplicated myself.

I could believe the rest, because everything else WAS farmable.

I still wish I had finished my boots completely. Their value would have blown her two-toned out of the park with my 85% Increased cooldown recovery making movement skills almost instantly spammable and recharged.
