U19.2 Crafted Essences (How To)
With U19.2 we now have the ability to upgrade our crafted essences from U18. It is a multi-step process that relies on some random number generated (RNG) drops and RNG crits.
STEP 1: Unique Crafting Items
Gather unique crafting items that drop from:
Featured Instance boxes ([insert colour] Ithilien Box of Spoils)
Throne of the Dread Terror raid
Forager’s Baskets
Yule Festival and presumably the other seasonal festivals

STEP 2: Crafting Wild Essences
Once you have the unique item(s) from above you can use your respective crafting profession to craft:

STEP 3: Bartering Wild Essences
The end result of crafting any of the Wild Essences from Table 2 is a Wild Essence of Ithilien.
You now take this Wild Essence of Ithilien to the Herb-Master in Henneth Annun (48.3S, 7.1W). You can barter the Wild Essence of Ithilien for an Ithilien-Infused Essence Box (Bind on Acquire).
When you open the Ithilien-Infused Essence Box you will have the choice of one of the following:
TABLE 4: Essence Choices
| ITHILIEN-INFUSED ESSENCE OF | ICON |
| Agility | |
| Critical Rating | |
| Fate | |
| Might | |
| Morale | |
| Physical Mastery | |
| Physical Mitigation | |
| Tactical Mastery | |
| Tactical Mitigation | |
| Vitality | |
| Will |
Note: The above choice will appear in your inventory and is Bind on Acquire.
STEP 5: Open the Ithilien-Infused Essence
Use the Ithilien-Infused Essence and it will randomly assign you either the teal or gold version (currently only a 10% chance):
Note: As of Dec 22 SSG has announced that the “RNG crit” rate will be increased and a guaranteed method of receiving gold will be introduced in the New Year. SEE HERE.
