Essences are substances distilled from different creature parts. They work more or less like the base game essence - they are distilled, combined, and split with Craft Alchemy and a Mortar and Pestle. You can read more about this process on the Alchemy page. Sigil has the following essence types:

  • Air
  • Earth
  • Fire
  • Water
  • Power
  • Life
  • Death
  • Good
  • Evil
  • Law
  • Chaos

Enchantment requires different types and grades (faint, weak, glowing, radiant) of these essences.

Additionally, there is a butcher in the Night Market who sells creature parts, which can be made into essences of all types - talking to him repeatedly refreshes his sale-list, and can help out with some of the more difficult to find essences. To get to the Night Market, travel to the Hive Ward, and speak to the Tout outside the Mortuary. The Mezzoloth Merchant in Gehenna also sells some creature parts that can be made into essences.
