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

TABLE 1: Unique Crafting Items by Profession

ITEM ICON USED BY Old Ithilien Blade Weaponsmith Bundle of Ithilien-Treated Wood Woodworker Ithilien-Wax Candle Scholar Old Ithilien Plate Metalsmith Handful of Ithilien Gems Jeweller Pouch of Ithilien Spice Cook Bolt of Ithilien Cloth Tailor

STEP 2: Crafting Wild Essences

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

NOTE 1: It does not matter which profession crafts the Wild Essence, the end result will be the same.

NOTE 2: It does not matter which Wild Essence you craft, the end result will be the same.

TABLE 3: Resource Items By Profession

PROFESSION RESOURCE ITEM REQUIRED Scholar 8 x Tattered Anorien Parchments Woodworker 8 x Poplar Boards Metalsmith 8 x Anorien Ingots Tailor 8 x Brushed Anorien Leather Jeweller 1 x Polished Zircon Weaponsmith 8 x Anorien Ingots Cook 10 x Pinches of Anorien Spices + 10 x Clay Pots

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.
