What are Essences and why are they valuable?

Essences are a type of crafting currency that can be used to modify the properties of items. They come in four different tiers: Screaming, Shrieking, Deafening, and Remnant of Corruption. Each tier of Essence has a different effect on items.

Essences are valuable because they can be used to create powerful items. For example, the Essence of Horror can be used to create a helmet with the "Pseudo-Linked" modifier, which allows you to link two skills without using a support gem.

How to farm Essences

There are two main ways to farm Essences:

    Essence Monsters: Essence Monsters are special enemies that drop Essences. They can be found in all areas of the game.

    Essence Map Device: The Essence Map Device can be used to add Essences to your maps. This is a great way to increase the number of Essences you drop.

To farm Essences efficiently, you should focus on killing Essence Monsters and using the Essence Map Device. You should also invest in Atlas passives that increase the number of Essence Monsters you encounter and the quality of Essences they drop.

How to use Essences to make money

There are two main ways to use Essences to make money:

    Sell Essences directly: Essences can be sold directly to other players. The price of Essences varies depending on the type and tier of Essence.

    Use Essences to craft items: Essences can be used to craft powerful items that can be sold to other players. For example, you can use the Essence of Horror to craft a helmet with the "Pseudo-Linked" modifier, which is a very valuable item.

To make the most money from Essences, you should sell them in bulk. You can also try to craft valuable items with Essences and sell those Path Of Exile items.

Here are some additional tips for farming Essences:

    Use a build that can kill Essence Monsters quickly. Essence Monsters can be tough, so it's important to use a build that can kill them quickly.

    Run maps with high monster density. More monsters means more chances to encounter Essence Monsters.

    Use Sextants to increase the number of Essence Monsters you encounter and the quality of Essences they drop.

    Run Einhar's Memory of Crystal Prisons. This memory allows you to fight a series of Rogue Exiles imprisoned in Essences. It can be a very rewarding way to farm Essences, but it's also very challenging.
