blood essence options

[Spirit]

can anyone explain the slider to me ?
i get tons of blood essences but the thing in the middle is eating 500 essences in less then 5 hours
how do i set the settings right that it need only a new stack every few days or even months ?

Did you ever find a solution to this? I want to put my server online for the weekend, and this is kind of a big deal. No one will play on the server if their castle decays in an hour. I even made blood essence drop 10x, and blood drain at .1, and it still does nothing to change how long you can keep a castle. It is game breaking for servers. Has anyone tried reseting everything to "master default" to see if it fixes it? So I'm guessing any changes made to the server start the bug?

I found out the solution, well, temporary solution. You need to have the "refinement rate" set at 1, any higher causes CastleBloodEssenceDrainModifier to drain faster as well. There is no solution other than to have both set at 1. Cheers.

this sound stupid , why is this even linked when they have a seperate option for it in the menu that shouldn´t change the other one in the first place ?

My dedicated server refinement rate is 1 and my castlebloodessencedrain is .5..

I guess I can see why bloodessence drain is tied to refinement, because it likely uses the same coding and is flagged the same was a refinement is. Unless that is intentional by the devs, it should be an easy enough fix.

Four stacks of blood essence lasts a little over 5 days or so...

Which is perfect, because this is my PVE dedicated that I host for a group of 6 friends or so.

I have my refinement rate at 2.5, a stack? 250 blood Essence lasts me 13H 16M.

I'd think that if refinement rate is attached then I would put Stacks at 2x and also increase blood drop rate by 100% to compensate.

yeah the rafinement rate is linked to hearth comsuption since a few patch, its a bug and i really hope they will fix that ASAP, its break the game for a lot of people who want a faster rafinement rate

Keep in mind that the essencedrain setting currently does nothing - So... play/host accordingly.

Yeah, now it's messed up worse, awesome. Existing castle blood was essentially doubled after the Refinement "fix". Almost have to run 3 day solo pvp servers, too many castles even at 1 castle each, with no active players.
