Since we now need 1 less essence for a breakthrough, the daily quests have become totally useless and even worse, than leveling up pets to extract, since one still needs the original amounts of essences to get the next higher essence from the respective quest. I still need 3 x 3* essences to get a 4* essence from the tamer Daily 3, while to gain a 4* essence manually it would require me only 2 x 3* essences to make a pet 4* level it up and extract it (+ the EXP for below job 50 players, you do not get from the quest).
My suggestion is to decrease the amounts of essences neede for the dailys.
Daily Quest (2): 2 1 x 2* essences -> 3* essence
Daily Quest (3): 3 2 x 3* essences -> 4* essence
Im open for further ideas, but rn there's no reason why one should make the dailys, because they're less efficient than getting the essences manually. Might just delete them if changes to it won't be done
