Essence

Essences are rare drops from progression zones and Tower of Frozen Shadow.

They are used to craft the following items:

• Ultimate Weapon
• Shield of the Ages
• Strike Augments
• Mana Necklace
• Spell: Defensive Boon

Because of their rareness and usefulness, they are commonly sold to other players from values ranging from 150,000 platinum each to well over a million platinum each.
