This page is about the currency item. For the league, see Essence league.

An essence is part of a complex group of currency items used for crafting equipment. All essences can be used to upgrade a piece of normal rarity equipment to rare and apply one guaranteed affix. Some essences can also be used to reforge the affixes of rare equipment. This encounter is considered Extra Content and has a baseline chance to appear in any map area. The specific chance for essences to spawn has never been officially published.

Table of essences

The name of an essence consists of three parts: the tier of the essence as a prefix, the word 'Essence', and the type of the essence as a suffix. For example, Whispering Essence of WoeWhispering Essence of WoeStack Size: 9
Essence Tier: 1
Upgrades a normal item to rare with one guaranteed property
Properties restricted to level 35 and below

One Handed Weapon: (10-19)% increased Spell Damage
Two Handed Weapon: (15-29)% increased Spell Damage
Armour: +(3-5) to maximum Energy Shield
Quiver: (5-10)% increased Damage with Bow Skills
Amulet: (2-4)% increased maximum Energy Shield

has the prefix 'Whispering' and the suffix 'of Woe', which means that it is a tier 1 essence of the Woe type. An essence's type determines which guaranteed modifiers it can imbue to equipment, while its tier determines the magnitude of bonuses granted by those modifiers.

Natural essences

Groups A–E include all types of essences that can appear naturally on monsters trapped within essence crystals. These essences come in seven tiers, each distinguished by a prefix word. An essence's tier can also be recognized by the number of lines in its 2D art icon. Note that not all types of essences exist for every tier. Lower tiers include fewer types of essences.

Additionally, monsters trapped in corrupted essence crystals may appear naturally in areas with monster level 32 and above. In this case, the imprisoned rare monster will always be empowered by a Remnant of CorruptionRemnant of CorruptionStack Size: 9Corrupts the Essences trapping a monster, modifying them unpredictably

Mechanics

Obtaining essences

Monsters trapped in essence crystals can occasionally be encountered in most areas starting from Act 1. Activating the center essence crystal three times will break the crystals, freeing the trapped monsters. The essence item can be obtained by killing these monsters, which are also enhanced by special monster modifiers on the essence.

Some types of essences only exist at higher tiers. This forms a progression in which more types of essences become available in areas with higher monster level.

Tier 6, 'Shrieking' essences can be obtained by upgrading lower tier essences through the vendor recipe system or by corrupting tier 5 essences using a Remnant of CorruptionRemnant of CorruptionStack Size: 9Corrupts the Essences trapping a monster, modifying them unpredictably

.

Other ways of acquiring essence include:

  • One of the Harvest crafting options changes a stack of essences into a different type of the same tier.
  • The Frigid Recess node in the Azurite Mine.
  • An Immortal Syndicate Fortification safehouse if Guff is placed there.
  • Through an Infused IncubatorInfused IncubatorStack Size: 10Adds an incubated Essence item to an equippable item

  • As a reward for a Blight, Delirium, Ritual or Heist encounter.

on a monster trapped by essence before releasing it.

This will result in one of the following outcomes chosen at random:

  • Mobs are broken free with empowered stats.
  • All contained essences have their tiers increased by 1 (e.g. 'Screaming' upgraded to 'Shrieking'). Note that the base essence type won't change, and this can't occur with "Deafening" essences.
  • Monster may gain one additional essence.
  • Transform essence types to random ones from the next type group. E.g., 'of Fear' transformed to 'of Wrath'.
    • Note that this can also increase the tier of the essence if the original is at a lower tier than the minimum for the next tier.
    • Essence of Hysteria, Insanity, Horror and Delirium can only be obtained by corrupting monsters with an essence of group E (Can be remembered with the mnemonic "Purple MEDS" (Misery, Envy, Dread, Scorn)).

With the Crystal Resonance Atlas passive skill allocated, trapped monsters can't break free when they are corrupted. This does not affect the outcome of using the Remnant.

Crafting

All essences can be used to upgrade a piece of normal rarity equipment to rare, similar to an Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it., and apply one guaranteed affix.

Essence possession effects

Essences are encountered in the wild as a monster 'possessed' by an Essence, mechanically similar to possession by a talisman or tormented spirit. Essence can only appear on a rare monster and the monster can have more than one essences possessed. When the monster is killed, the essences will drop as an item.

Vendor recipes

It is possible to upgrade essences in tier through a vendor recipe.

Result Recipe
1x essence of the same type one tier higher 3x essences of the same type and tier

The Essence Stash Tab provides the means to upgrade essences from within the tab itself. This has exactly the same outcome as the vendor recipe, but saves time spent moving items around.

Version history

Version Changes
3.19.0
  • (Undocumented in patch notes) Minion Damage modifiers on weapons from Essence of Fear (Wailing and above) have been increased as a result of minion modifier changes.
  • Fixed a bug where buffs that alternate to provide different stats, such as more and reduced damage taken buffs on monsters with the Loathing Essence modifier, were not working. As a result, the following changes have been made for Essence Monsters: Reduced the amount of Attack, Cast and Movement Speed granted by Zeal Essence modifiers on Monsters; reduced the amount of reduced Damage Taken granted by Loathing Essence modifiers on Monsters; Scorn Essence modifiers now grant 75% reduced extra Damage Taken from Critical Strikes to the affected Monster, instead of Cannot be Critically Struck.
3.18.1
  • The Trickster Monster modifier can no longer be found on Monsters imprisoned in Essence Monoliths.
  • Essence Monoliths now display the modifiers and Tormented Spirits that are affecting or possessing the imprisoned Essence Monster.
3.16.0
  • Essences of Loathing now provides chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments for Boots (previously chance to Dodge Attack Hits).
  • Essences of Scorn now provides increased Stun Threshold for Body Armour (previously chance to Dodge Spell Hits), and Chance to Avoid being Stunned for Boots, Gloves and Helmets (previously only Gloves and Helmets).
3.14.0
  • Reduced the chance for Map Areas to contain Abyss, Ambush, Blight, Breach, Domination, Essence, Heist, Legion, Metamorph and Torment encounters by 20%. The chance to encounter a Zana mission containing any of these mechanics has also been lowered by the same amount.
  • Screaming Essences can now be used to reforge rare items, in addition to upgrading normal items to rare. This brings them into line with Shrieking and Deafening Essences.
  • Extensive balance changes to essence modifiers. (See Version 3.14.0 § Essence Balance for a complete list of changes.)
2.5.0
  • Added the contents of the Essence League to the core game. You can now find monsters trapped in Essences throughout Wraeclast, but at a lower rate than when it was the current challenge league.
