I like the concept of legendary essences/dust and being added. I used to think it was a bad idea but giving it more thought over several days my opinion changed. Essences are definitely a greater store of value (as of now) compared to gold which I like. However I do find the concept of allowing essences to be transferred into 2 phoenix feathers as reasonable.
I am from the position the update helps newer players more and creates a higher ceiling for older players when it comes to creating top-tier sets. At this point in the game creating a higher cap is probably fine. Before the update (2024) I was able to buy a sun glaive off the auction hall for 800k-1.2m gold. I saw two opportunities for this and acquired one of them. I also bought a Fiendish for 2.7m~ gold on the auction hall. (Nowadays 4m-5m value.) Fast forward to 2025, I recently bought a sun glaive from CalRG for 4.2mil. He was able to stack his characters with hero classes and house craftable gear sets afterwards. The update definitely helped him. Bob_Tschgerillo is another example after looting 2 orange legendaries his entire set changed similarly. I hope these guys are ok with me using them as anecdotal examples from observation for this xd.
Definitely certain legendaries such as Steel Stinger should be reconsidered for the essence value as it is mentioned often. I am from the opinion the Steel Stinger should be added to legio as a larp sword. (High cut damage, highest speed, shortsword.) I would 100% try and obtain it if it was. Different topic though.
