Blizzard shared an update on their forums regarding essences in an update to the new Echoes of Ny’alotha system in World of Warcraft.
Basically, any restrictions on role-specific Azerite Essences from MOTHER have been lifted. The team has grouped together all the ways you can earn Rank 3 tanking, healing, or damage essences:
- Spark of Inspiration, Unwavering Ward, Strength of the Warden (obtained from Horrific Visions)
- Touch of the Everlasting, Spirit of Preservation, Breath of the Dying (obtained from reputation with Rajani)
- Blood of the Enemy, Artifice of Time, Sphere of Suppression (obtained from Battlegrounds)
- Condensed Life Force, Vitality Conduit, Azeroth’s Undying Gift (obtained from raiding in The Eternal Palace)
- Essence of the Focusing Iris, Life-Binder’s Invocation, Anima of Life and Death (obtained from Mythic Keystone dungeons)
Blizzard also notes that now, “even a single character now has a way to obtain these off-role Essences, and can either use Echoes to purchase them from MOTHER or use the original means of acquisition.”
