Is it intended that all the legendary trinkets are gated behind the Sentient Seed? We must give up our Sentient Anomaly, Oddity, and Aberration by combining with the Unbound Magic munching Singularity?

Dragonite and Empyreal have no function beyond crafting Vision Crystals and so these munchers are a blessing. However Unbound Magic is a required resource for all new merchants in the last year and must be farmed.

Til now we had the choice of keeping them separate so as to not be forced to farm Unbound Magic constantly in order to destroy trash excess Dragonite and Empyreal. Gating Legendary Trinkets behind the being forced to delete Empyreal and Dragonite again seems harsh.

edit: added Vision crystals.

After you combine these in the mystic forge, you get a single item that has the same functionality of all of them combined- using it will open a vendor menu with all 4 gobbler options (and which shares the cooldowns). You can purchase replacements from Hobbs in LA if you prefer the gobbler format though (or want to make more for alts).

Do I understand right that you can only buy 6 items a day with the seed and with the gobblers i could create up to 24 a day?

The seed offers 4 purchase options, one corresponding with each gobbler. Purchasing the option that takes bloodstone dust and dragonite ore shares the cooldown with the sentient anomaly, so if you buy all 6 from the seed, you won't be able to use the anomaly anymore, and if you use the gobbler, you won't be able to purchase them from the seed anymore. You can get a total of 24 fluctuating masses either by using all 4 gobblers 6 times, or buying 6 of each listing from the seed (or by doing a combination of both).
