That works. I just keep chars full of mythic items and only salvage them when I've got something to use the essence on. Both ways are fine though I guessConsidering the amount of gold needed to insert a source socket it takes time to accumulate those sums e.g Elysian ring 250 mil gold .
While your saving that gold you can easily cap the quota if 2009
Currently my work around is to open all slots on my account on the 3 chars and move mythics to them and shard them and when want an item doing just leave on account slot log in the char with essence in and make that way
Not ideal but works
When you salvage a mythic item you get an essence or design like you do with anything else, but also get some mythic essence points. The amount of mythic essence you get is based on the level of the item. Just salvage the item as normalJumping on an old post here. But how do i take the mythic essence out of items I tried monchon but says can't extract this here.
Cheers buddy got yaIt doesn't expire, but is capped at 2000
When you salvage something and get mythic essence points it tells you have much you have in the corner where you see exp points. Or you can use the npc in mudwall which will tell you your total
