Usage

Essence is used mainly for Essence Crafting, where it can be used to convert regular items into Dungeon items that have stat boosts based on the player's Dungeoneering Skill level while the player is in Dungeons. It can also be used to upgrade Dungeon items themselves, giving an additional 2% stat boost per upgrade outside of Dungeons, which becomes a 10% stat boost per upgrade while in Dungeons.

Essence Types

There are 9 types of essences, each upgrading items related to a specific type of mob or resource. They are:

•  Undead Essence
•  Dragon Essence
•  Gold Essence
•  Diamond Essence
•  Wither Essence
•  Spider Essence
•  Ice Essence
•  Crimson Essence
•  Forest Essence
•  Sun Gecko Essence

Trivia

• Purchasing Essence from the Bazaar requires  Catacombs XX (20).
  •  Forest Essence is the only Essence type to not have this requirement.
• By using Malik and going to the Essence Crafting menu, players can access the Essence Guide which displays the uses for all essence types.
• Each different Essence is used to convert specific items to dungeon items. For example, Perfect Armor can be upgraded to Dungeon Armor with Diamond Essence. Dragon Essence upgrades  Dragon Armor, etc. This does not work on armor sets not listed in the Essence Guide such as Crystal Armor, Fairy Armor, and Angler Armor.
• The maximum amount of Essence a player may have of one type is 2 billion.
