    New patch, new step, and...no easing on the Umbrite Grind, nor any other ways to obtain it. It's kind of ridiculous when you think about it. You need at worst 80 Umbrite for the 230->240 Step. The only way to get it is 300 Lore a shot, working out to 24000 Lore. Meanwhile the new step is a greater leap from 240-260, yet has a pair of repeatable quests that let you earn its item, 17 a week. Then you can buy more tokens with Lore, but they're half the price of Umbrite! So given a time period of 2 weeks, that's 34 tokens from the quests, leaving 16 to be bought with Lore, at a cost of 2400. 1/10th the cost of the previous step, if you want to spend it at all.

    Maybe it's just because the 230->240 Step features stat allocation that they make it such a Lore Grind, but I really don't see any good reason they couldn't include other means of getting Umbrite by now.
