Is there any possibility to increase the drop rate on these please? 3 days so far and still couldn't find a single Sparkling Essence of Fire.

I know this is T8 access quest and has to be in high difficulty, but 3% drop rate seems to be really low.

The drop rate is how it is meant to be. It is suppose to be challenging to get the drops to finish the task. One thing to keep in mind is that for each task completed, 4 people can get flagged.

After you collect all the items you then have to combine them in baking , JC, BS, and tailoring all combines are trivial 280 but even with 321 BS I failed combine. Thanks for letting us know the task flags for 4 were does it say this other than ur post for I have been farming items on all my toons and I know others have to :cry:

Here is how the quest works:
You get the task, find the items, make the combines, run around and do some turn ins.

Then you get to the point where you have to complete an event. The difficulty is around xeru level (hince why T2 of Dreadspire is required). Only a player at the point in the task can spawn the event. However, once defeated, the mob drops 4 flags that can be turned in for T8 access.

So essentially for every 1 task completed, 4 people can get flagged for T8. It doesn't explain it until you get to the right stage in the task.

If one player was to start and complete the event flagging 4 players. Would they be able to initiate the event again,to flag another 4 players. Or is it non-repeatable by the same character?
