Essences are a type of item in Alabaster Dawn. They are obtained from many sources, but primarily from foraging and defeating Nuemera.
Essences currently do not have an active use. Their item descriptions describe them as raw material for gem crafting, carried out by Artificers, but that system is not yet implemented in the Early Access build.
The essences seen so far are split into three categories:
Name | Rarity | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
Shard of Order | Rare | Essence in the shape of Remis' Insignia. Will be used by Artificers to craft or upgrade gems. | Forage from Aether Trial Vases in the Trial of Aether |
Whisper of the Gods | Rare | Thick essence of slight power gifted by the gods, tied to Allmother Terra's first divine providence. | Find in chests in Koro Valley (x2, x4) and the Trial of Aether (x3) |
Verse of the Gods | Epic | Thick essence of mild power gifted by the gods, tied to Allmother Terra humming melodies of stars. | Find in chest in the Trial of Aether (x2) |
Name | Rarity | Source |
|---|---|---|
Sphera Essence | Rare | Dropped by Sphera |
Arma Sphera Essence | Rare | Dropped by Arma Sphera |
Vespa Essence | Rare | Dropped by Vespa |
Turri Essence | Rare | Dropped by Turri and Turri Praeva |
Custo Turri Essence | Rare | Dropped by Custo Turri |
Rana Essence | Rare | Dropped by Rana |
Ericius Essence | Epic | Dropped by Ericius |
Testudo Essence | Epic | Dropped by Testudo and Testudo Irae |
Aranea Mu Essence | Legendary | Dropped by Aranea Mu |
Name | Rarity | Source |
|---|---|---|
Pullu Essence | Common | Forage from Pullu Sprouts in Koro Valley |
Fern Essence | Common | Forage from Nyx River Ferns in Koro Valley |
Carota Essence | Common | Forage from Carota Growths in Koro Valley |
Essence drop rates use the upstream wording: "often" for foraged plant and standard enemy drops, and "always" for guaranteed drops from miniboss-tier enemies like Aranea Mu and Testudo Irae. Save every essence found until the crafting system is enabled, since the per-rarity supply directly limits future gem upgrades.
