Yellow Dopant

This has been asked approximately ten hundred billion times, but I don't recall...

Does the yellow dopant ALWAYS return an Essence of Cleansing? (assuming, obviously, the item was "cleansed" in the first place)

I used one once and got back some random horse shit that I had tons of already (Smalls/Med/and blank mats)

No Shards, No Large Ing, No Cleansing Stone.

I got random amounts of crap back and an essence when I did mine awhile back (supposed to be 100%).
Check other forums, thought I read something awhile back about something bugged with it. Could be thinking of something else though.

I have had the cleansing stone returned both times I've deconned a cleansed item.

This was a couple of years ago, though, and past performance may not indicate future success.

There are TWO recipes when you place the GS in with a dopant

One returns the Cleansing stone

One returns the materials used to create the item. (Roughly 2/3s of each tier, No shards are returned)

You do not get both..

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

If it's a Tier 3, double shard item, you should still be able to get the cleansing stone recipe....
ok that's really old memories... yellow dopant drop rate is so retarded that I don't have deconstructed anything since it hit live... YD should be a 100K ingrdient at a vendor... as a plat sink...  but that's Turbine we are dealing with.

I've pulled a ton of them just from chests, but there was also a point where I was shrouding every single day(I had 5 characters flagged and was not shy about timer bypasses).

But I've never deconed a tier-3 item, just one tier2 that I fucked up and a second tier 2 that was stupid(who the fuck needs a double-pos great crossbow?) both times I wanted the signet stone back far more than I wanted to run coal again...

The yellow dopant is WORTHLESS because it doesn't return shards. The ingredients returned are trivial to obtain.

WORTHLESS.

I'm not gonna lie, its tough to disagree with your logic and formatting.

There was a time what shards were trivial to obtain. There was a time when walking out of the shroud with a full set of shards was a thing. There was a time when I didn't have 9 Supremes, 2 regulars, and have not scene a single greater drop in 8 runs. There were times.

These times are not now.

Now, shards are the hardest to get.

I will say, though, that'd I'd still rather decon an item for the signet stone than play that fucking spider quest again!!

You can always dip into your infinite plat to have a noob craft a GS blank for you...thereby skipping any Vale quest stone farm. And of course either you have tons of duped ingredients or infinite plat to buy them.

Therefore all GS items you make are essentially free, minus your time running Shroud for the fkn shards.

Yes, even if you do a speed run... just go Elite, it's easier.

The thing behind that is : Spiders have more HP, so they have a lower tendency to die.

They should have reversed difficulties for that quest : Normal = Elite, Elite = Normal.

I'm not a fan of Coal but I also never failed a quest from falling off a ledge...

Oh, incidentally: at the same time they fixed the jump in dust, they added additional jets to make Coal significantly easier and shorter.

The sheer level of what-the-fuckery here is incalculable! Take the two stupidest quests in the entire game, make one much easier and one much harder!

I didn't get greedy with my duping but I've definitely got enough stones to not worry for a long long while. And enough HONESTLY-farmed stuff, too Tongue Not to mention a bank full of finished items... lol

Right. Because it's no longer descriptive to call 5k stones per toon, "greedy." It's more like forgetting to turn off the money shower before vacation, and coming back to find your house collapsed under the weight.
