Oh I know what you mean! (I have to spend quite a bit of time searching for both questions and answers!)
The question of what you need to start a given goal is very common, and we (the mods) try to get at least that bit of information out as quickly as possible. Hopefully, you and others will always be able to find it!
I have hit an fork in the road regarding my quests and i would love some advice. I will finish making 5 Mystic Essences tonight ( Hurrah! ) (one dragon scale and zero maticore parts left) But I now must choose if I should spend them on the sapling quest or on the upgrade to the garden. I have all the other parts ready to go for the garden, but I also have everything supplied for the rest of the sapling quest and the part 2 next week.
Back and forth I go so I would love to hear what others think since I can't seem to make up my mind.
I'm in exactly this same boat. Can't do both. Manty whiskers are in short supply and it will take weeks to get enough to continue. I get maybe one per day and we need 50 to make 5 essence. That's nearly two months of waiting on Manty parts!
I'm really surprised at this. I never expected to be so far along in the game only to be brought to a screeching halt over something we never used before!
Although I looked at skipping with gems. The cost of mythic essence for the maze is 15 gems per. The cost for the sapling goal is 10 gems. So you'd save 25 gems if you use 5 toward the maze and gem over the sapling goal. Why they're not the same cost remains a mystery.
TL is there a way you can help everybody that is struggling for dragon scales and manticore whiskers?
Question: With limited acquisition of Dragon scales to produce Mythic Essence, which is better... Upgrade Royal Maze to Level 2 or save the Mythic Essence to acquire Blythewood Sapling? Thanks in advance!
