I mean, I have 44 leftover raw emotions and only 12 artifacts, and that's because I got fed up with having the quest completed for my AST with all the Dal farming for notes, so most of those emotions are not from DR runs, anyway. DR will be better for overall farming, sure, but certainly won't kill Dal what with the Field Notes behind it and the mount.

That was certainly a needed change, though. It seems to be generally agreed that the timeworn step is (or was?) the worst.
