Essence Making, a Detailed How To~

A lot of my inductees who're new to game or returners, don't know much about Essence Crafting, I noticed some people in alliance were confused about it too, so here's a a detailed guide on what to do and how to do ^-^

First of you need Affinity Beads and a lot of them. (Detailed guide on how to get maximum beads each day later :3)
Then, depending on how rich or broke you are, you need Gold leaves that comes from Shady Dealer in sunstream, 1 gold = 1 Gold Leaf.
Then you need Arcane Bullions to buy recipes to craft Essences. Crafting Essences help you up your crafting lvl as well, so like if you have lvl 1 Crafting, by the time you finish making a Virgo Essence, you'll have lvl 4 crafting, that also depends on if you're doing it the fast and expensive or the cheap and harder way.

I found a nice calculated list of essence making on the Official JD Forums, I'll copy it here, made by, LegacyCode from Shura server.

About the recipes,


Recipe Costs:

Aries.........x2...Arcane Bullion
Taurus........x2...Arcane Bullion
Gemini........x2...Arcane Bullion
Cancer........x2...Arcane Bullion
Leo...........x2...Arcane Bullion
Virgo.........x2...Arcane Bullion
Libra.........x2...Arcane Bullion
Scorpio.......x2...Arcane Bullion
Sagittarius...x2...Arcane Bullion
Capricorn.....x10..Arcane Bullion
Aquarius......x20..Arcane Bullion
Pisces........x50..Arcane Bullion


 Type of Essences:

The Open star Green Essence is for PvE, mostly good for botting and and non PvP stuff, Can be used for PvP too but since it doesn't have skill Evasion or Accuracy that might put you on the downside a bit.

The Breezemark NPC next to Elder of Arcane in Jadeon sells the recipe and the basic essences.













 The Closed star Blue one is the PvP Essence, it lacks the additional Attack % up but it gives you Crit rate and Skill Accuracy and Evasion, good for being in wars or BG PvP.

The recipes and basic essences are at Lunarshade on side of Elder of Arcanes.

The requirements for the essences are same for both types.







The Cost of Making The Essence:


Now we come to the dreaded part of making the actual thing.

I left everything in this table as it was, as you can see, the cost when you craft essence with the basic zodiac, is way cheaper than making it from cancer or libra, I personally recommend using the zodiac since it helps you mastering Life skills as well, not to mention, you get a TON of Rubies that you can exchange for Skill Accuracy and Evasion Imbuning Talismans ^-^

Also, when you make the Virgo and Libra Essence, equip them once to get the Achievement ^^

For now this is it hope this helps and enjoy getting your essences up ^-^ Leave me a comment if you have any questions ^^
