The deconstruction altar seems to be really fucked up when you try to deconstruct using the green and yellow deconstruction potions out of your bag. It also seems to get confused when you run out of items in a stack that you're trying to deconstruct. When you deconstruct loot, there's obviously only one item in the "stack", so that's pretty solidly fucked up.
On the other hand, if you have a reasonable stack of lesser essences of some type, you can go nuts on crafting the junk shards that you'll deconstruct for 1 XP each. I can now craft and deconstruct as fast as I can click, so that 22,000 click method of leveling now seems viable. Just make sure that you buy a bajillion of the green and yellow deconstruction potions and keep them in your backpack.
1) Create a bajillion junk Greater Brilliance 1 shards (or whatever costs 4 lesser and 1 dragonshard fragment of your choice).
Just click like mad and they'll all go in your backpack.
2) Drag all of those stacks of 100 junk shards back into your backpack.
3) Drag a stack of 100 junk shards and 100 deconstruction potions into the deconstruction altar and deconstruct like crazy. Once you run out of that stack, drag over another stack of 100 shards/100 deconstruction potions
Repeat ad nauseum. Now that the 4 second delay is gone, I expect to be level 90 by this afternoon.
I've run into a potentially serious problem with this.
DON'T USE THIS UNTIL I POST AGAIN. probably about 10 minutes.
Edit: It looked like I wasn't getting back any greater or lesser good essences when I deconstructed the Greater Beatitude I shards with "autocollect" on in my bags. It's possible that I was just deconstructing a different shard (I had some greater Impact I shards, too) and just wasn't paying atttention to what I had in my bags before and after that deconstruction set.
Everything looked 100% fine when I was watching the shards show up in my backpack with all of the "autocollect" turned off and the two tests I did with autocollect on when I was paying close attention to the shard return rate seemed fine as well. I got between a 93% and a 105% return on my shards for each block of 100 greater beatitude I shards that I deconstructed.
Also, the lag does seem less significant when I speed click deconstruct/craft with autocollect turned off in my bags.
