Suggestion Umbrite

After getting my BiS tome gears even capping 450 scrip weekly feels like a grind to me.

On topic, I think we'll see some sort of nerf on the umbrite step and the next step will be another big one like the unidentified and umbrite steps, and honestly I can't see SE putting a step that doesn't rely on tomes lol.

Thank you. That's exactly what I call a big, fat, ugly and very uninteresting grind.

Your estimate of less than 1.5 hours for all these activitites a day is also way off. Not to mention that you can't collect the singing clusters through the weekly quest when you're not on the ilvl 260 quest.
And don't forget collecting all the atmas for the first step within those five weeks.
And don't forget the 10 dungeons that you have to do within those five weeks.
And don't forget collecting the items for the third anima step within those five weeks.
And don't forget the weekly Crystal Tower quest that you have to do within those five weeks.

yeha then its not for you, use other alternatives

Not an argument. Don't claim it's "not a real grind" when the majority in this thread want an improvement to this step because it's an awful grind.

It's one thing to grind a step that is relevant and a much different thing to grind it when it's no longer relevant.

I'd be happy to trade you some of my excess untradeable crafting / gathering tokens / amber / Poes for some of your excess untradeable Lore, but for...yeah...

Would love to, if I wasn't already putting a 3rd ones items together.

My guess is come 3.5 the ilvl 240 step will be nerfed in the following ways:

Umbrites reduced to 150 lore
The maximum Crystal Sand and Umbrites required will be reduced from 80 to 40.

That falls in line with the massive nerf the 210 got. They could wait until 3.55 though and simply nerf the Aether Oils, which I also think we happen.
