Guild Wars 2

According to the blog post titled, “Guild Halls: From Pen to Production to Placement” there is an item called “Essence of Illumination”. When I became a scribe the “Fountain Torch” became available to craft and states that I need a “Essence of Light” but the tool tip for the item says “Crafted from Essence of Illumination…”

I’ve been killing the Air elementals in Hidden Garden JP for about an hour with 247% Magic find and have not yet had it drop for me yet. I’m wondering what kinda drop rate this item has, and if I should trying to get it? The naming mismatch has me wondering if it was adding into the game yet.

Has anyone else been able to get this item?

Noticed the same thing. Loads of people have put in orders for Essence of Light already, as well.
Would love to finally get rid of that silly flowered fountain!

Tried to farm em with a friend for ~1 hr. No luck. Either it’s rare or the text on dulfy is wrong about the aquisition.

I tried taking it from the essence of light on top of the jumping puzzle, but nothing either. It probably should be there.

This may become a 100 g item before we know it.

Essence of Illumination: “Use this essence of craft a completed precursor.” Account bound.
Almost certainly NOT what you are looking for.

API for Essence of Light is returning blank, which implies it hasn’t dropped or the API is bugged. None of the item sites I use are showing it either. I don’t think anyone has gotten one yet.
