Farming/ Grinding in Absolver

I always thought it a shame how extraordinally hard it is to farm gear in Absolver. From playing 1h in CTs you most likely get between 3-6 Items, which are, again most likely, duplicates for some1 who already played a while. And the compensation with the shop is a very little one, since gear only gives a very VERY small amount of Essence (10 for a belt, about 100 for a mask, meaning, to get a rare mask out of the shop you need 10,000 Essence. In other words, good luck hunting 100 masks)

With the new post about the Downfall expansion you are introducing yet a new currency called Gleam. I was kind of hoping that the new PvE mode would make farming a little bit easier, but since you dont get Essence but Gleam i fear it will not do that...

    Agreed, i mostly suck at fighting and it takes forever to get through a marked one fight, between glitching and my swings going right through the opponent the invisible weapons i seem to get stuck in my hand or tje fact that when i connect it deals almost no damage and each blow from even a low level npc devistating my health it's depressing... I've been trying to get the Ama Saba mask and beat her and her friends dozens of times with no drops at all let alone a mask drop....
    I could deal with farming even shitty gear if the npc would drop something, anything after a fight. I get through ten to 15 fights before i get a stupid pair of shoes...
    Something is broke and it looks like it's being glossed over instead of fixed...
    Fuck the little guy right.

    I don't know. If I switch to offline then I can literally do speedruns through all the areas killing everything and getting tons of gear. I have Absolver for 2 or 3 weeks and I've already spent about 30k essence on gear from shop and still have some 15k to spend. In my opinion you can farm gear for shards very easily in offline.
    Of course combat trials give a lot as well. I do 3 on 3 and sometimes get 4-5 of that green currency per match witch can be used to get rift coins. And as those often drop rare/exceptional/mythical gear then I can scrap them for tons of shards as well. Considering that I see people that can beat me with eyes closed I guess they can farm even faster.

    Yeah, I feel like I get tons of stuff both online and off; So much in fact that constantly breaking things down in my inventory is kind of a chore.

    Im talking more about CT stuff. The majority of Gear can only be farmed through CTs and not from overworld npcs. There you get 3 "points" per win, and 2 (sometimes 1) per loose. With 5 points you get 1 item. The next thing you get is 1 crystal from leveling up, with 5 crystals you get 3 items. And THERE is the chore in farming gear in absolver.

    granted, i kinda hoarded, because i want to own everything in every color, but that doesnt really change too much currently. If i wouldnt be hoarding, i would still only get duplicates which you can break down into kinda almost nothing...

    I can't quite put my finger on it but something feels off about the way gear and drops are handled to me too. None of the of the drops you find in the cairns feel very "intentional" if you know what I mean. Like I felt kind of disappointed after finding each one because there wasn't really ever anything I wanted in any of them. And then the drops from the marked ones feel dragged a bit. It would be more interesting to me if they had different phases the first time through like the big 3 and would drop a different piece of gear after each one. The rift disks feel kind of cool in universe, but the duplicates aren't really fun.
