Essences

Essences could be obtained from certain Treasure Chests, opened from gifts from The Greeviling, or traded for.

Every Greevil Egg could be slotted with up to nine Common Essences (up to three each of Quas, Wex, and Exort Essences), or a single Shadow Essence. Different Essence combinations produced different egg names and colors, and when hatched, the player would receive a Greevil courier in one of nine colors and with different physical properties, depending on the Essence combination used. Additionally, each egg could be imbued with up to three Unusual Essences, with each increasing the intensity of the particle effect corresponding with the color of the hatched Greevil courier.

Quas, Wex, Exort, and Shadow Essences could also be used in Diretide 2013 crafting recipes.
