idk man maybe later I could DM you
He should at least make it so the essence spawns in an altar with glowing magics runes or something like that, that way we can at least use clearsight and not waste 20 minutes trying to get within the render distance of the cloud effects on a sameria sized island (this could also fix the issue where the essence spawns right in the face of an atlantean)
I think essences should have a purple beam effect that shoots to the sky so you can see it from far away.
I think it’s fair to say that literally anything would be better than the current system we have
tis why I never wanna go hecate essence hunting
make file and be sure it’s what you wanna stick with
only reason I wanna reset is because I need a magic that fits the color of my eyeballs since I got the sinister gaze 
This would be an awesome addon
I remember the dark sea even before they had those small structures atlanteans spawn on, only these destroyed homes
Coping that once sensing gets added we can use it to find hectate essences easily
I was lucky enough to get on in the matter of minutes of my first go around… Tried searching again today, as I had ideas with other magics… I realized how colossal the islands are and kinda lost hope real quickly! I think ill just wait till endgame vimir or chimera
Trust me, many people have brought this up to Vet, even in the tester circle. Hecate essence is really unfun to get, and punishes people who don’t have multiple hours to burn on the game in one sitting.
Acrimonies and sunkens, while rare, are obtainable thanks to the marketplace. An ‘eventuality’ if you save up and grind up.

If only there were was a way to make the player invisible to NPCs for a set amount of time, or to make the NPCs unable to attack the player for a short while, huh?
Stares angrily at Vetex
Sometimes I feel like I could honestly be a better game dev if I knew how to code…

Maybe we need someone to get studio perms to AO and do the simple value changes, balancing would go way faster
i can understand it being rare, given the ramifications of changing the first magic you were born with as well as the fact you’re probably not gonna change it very often (me and a friend have been going for it every so often since he wants magma over explosive, but outside of that i don’t really have interest) i actually like the idea of going on a big journey to more or less change your very being
i think it needing to be super close to see is an issue since it’s already super hard to find on massive islands, but something like a message telling you it’s on the island you’re searching feels too easy, it should be difficult to do
i’m still trying to gain familiarity with how roblox’s engine works, but to make it render at the same time as the island itself and have the same properties of being visible at a fair range would be beneficial (but again i wouldn’t know for sure how to go about that)
the atlanteans attacking you thing doesn’t seem like a big issue, at that range you’re typically trying to avoid them if they’re too strong or you roll with it and kill it (i can’t really think of an instance where an npc enemy jumps you without your knowing, you always have the initiative)
overall i feel like people are way overexaggerating the design of hecate’s essence, it’s such a small aspect of the game that afaik you’d really only use once every [long period of time]. it’s def got issues but at least you have the ability to change your first magic now, it’d be better to focus on more glaring issues of the game
