33 The Tainted Mask is a wooden mask of an infected swamp dweller, the corrupted counterpart of the priestly Ritual Mask. Unlike the unaltered Ritual Mask, the Tainted Mask is a Crafting reagent: it is used to produce Essence Arborum.

5+September 2026 data check: the current item data (extraction build 0.10.0.8) lists no recipe that consumes the Tainted Mask, and records only the Plague Wood smelt for Essence Arborum. The mask-to-essence conversion described on this page is community-reported and unconfirmed in the data; keep masks if you rely on it, but verify the recipe at your own furnace.

1618 The Tainted Mask is a drop from corrupted Senkamati creatures encountered across the swamp biome of the Cursed Swamps. Only the diseased, plague-ridden variants carry it; the ordinary jungle Senkamati near Tortuga drop the clean Ritual Mask instead. Because it is gated to one enemy family in one biome, the mask is the limiting reagent for Essence Arborum, so clearing swamp Senkamati camps is the main route to building a stockpile.

1820 The mask shares its loot pool with other corrupted-Senkamati materials such as Plague Marks, so a single farming run usually returns both at once. Each mask weighs 0.3 kg and stacks to 20, so a full inventory column holds enough to convert into a meaningful batch of Essence Arborum before you need to return to a base.

2022 Value and Trade
2123  
2224 The Tainted Mask has no listed vendor sale entry: it is treated as a Crafting reagent rather than a Trade Goods, so its worth is the Essence Arborum you refine from it, not a fixed Guinea price. Hold every one you find for the Essence Arborum recipe rather than selling them off.
