Summary
- Arcane Essence is highly valuable and used to recharge a large number of high-end items including Aspect Gear as well as adding more charges onto special reward items (such as server-unique items granted from events)
- It can be received from turning in a variety of items to the Prevalia Exchange
- When players recycle identified magical items they will receive Arcane Essence in return in addition to any standard resources returned
- Arcane Essence can be used to purchase Echoes (25,000 for 1st, 50,000 for 2nd, 75,000 for 3rd, etc)
Obtaining Arcane Essence via Recycling
- Find magic weapons and armor
- Use the Item Identification skill on the item(s)
- Use a crafting tool, click Recycle Item and target the magical item
- Can use any crafting tool on a magical item (smith's hammer to recycle a magical bow)
- Can be done with zero crafting skills
- Once Recycled, Arcane Essence will appear in your backpack
Arcane Essence Recycled Amounts
Arcane Essence Consumption
- Players have an invisible "Damage Progress Meter" that is tracked for them when inflicting damage in Aspect Gear, and when the meter reaches 100%, the character will lose 1 Arcane Essence Charge (and the meter will reset to 0%)
- Progress for the meter increases by (Damage Inflicted) / (3000 - (Current Aspect Tier * 30)) %
- This is calculated on both the armor, and the weapon/spell book being worn separately
- Any bonuses the players have towards reducing Arcane Essence Consumed (such as Weekly Server Region Bonuses) will reduce the amount the Meter increased by that much
Example:
* A player wearing Tier 10 Fire Aspect armor inflicts 500 damage, which will result in the meter filling up (500 / (3000 - (10 * 30))) = '''18.5%'''
Warning Notification
- Players can specify the exact point at which they will be warned when their Arcane Essence Charges remaining on their character drops below that number
- The "Warn When Below" value indicates the specific point where a notification message and sound will be generated for the player
- Clicking the "Set" button in the Aspect Mastery menu will launch a menu where players can type in a specific number they want to be warned at
- Players can then click the "Set Target" button in the pop up window to accept the new Target Number
* Players may monitor remaining Arcane Essence using an Info Bar
