As I asked previously.... It's now almost a year into the Xpac. Where are the transmuting distillations books for current tier?!?!
The devs have said plainly that they aren't giving us any. Run Solos to get Planar Transmutation Stones and Adepts to break for fragments and powders. Solo loot is mostly Legendary, transmute that for infusions etc. Harvest a bunch of darkstone and mass produce Tome of the Planes, then transmute those for manas. and infusions.
Also - run Guk solo - the gear that drops there is fabled and readily transmutes into infusions and mana. Its unfortunate that the distillations were not implemented.
Yeah could really use a distillations book.. Soooo many Manas.. But I completely agree, GuK Solo is the best place for Fragments and Manas.. On average 10 to 12 fragments and a few manas after running both zones... reset like 90 minutes later.
Unfortunately, the components that are in shortest supply are infusions... and we have mountains and mountains of powders that we, literally, can't use up.
