Path of Exile: Essences Crafting Guide - Using Your Essences

[@JayskaTeag]

you could use this also to get rares to complete the chaos vendor recipe. have everything except a ring and ammy? two crappy essence's later...

[@Punkagonist]

But you want Unids :P

[@back2toxic]

Wow - i never thought of this! thanks for the input!

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Great idea! Great slot filler for chaos recipe.

[@Xeverous]

rip chaos rate: exalt

[@EddyJaber]

Oh I was about to say it in a comment, then I saw yours :p

[@angel373bcn]

As someone that likes to play self found this league is perfect.

[@Yatunic]

You can also use the T1 essences to help you with your chaos recipies

[@heraklesfarnese960]

9:00 "tell me what you want, what you really really want" - sry could not resist ;-)

[@busfahrer09]

still useful in 2020, ziggy is The Man.

[@lysdexic7477]

I've been using the low tier ones on jewelry to complete the chaos recipe.

[@WaxiEGnomE]

Great Video. Me and a friend watch you for practically everything in PoE.

[@mrrealpx3189]

ziggy tought me crafting bows 20 months ago, now i'm learning essence :)

[@SoaringBricks]

Has Ziggy's filter been updated >

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah updated for 2.4 ziggyd.tv/featured/ziggyds-loot-filter/

[@MinecraftGamerJoe]

Do you know if installing filters is any different on the steam version of POE? Cause I tried to follow the neversink one, but it never popped up in my UI settings.

[@SoaringBricks]

It worked just the same for me in the steam version. Also like the new filter a bunch, just need to tweak one or two things. Thanks Ziggy!

[@theschiffer6852]

Is there a list of which Essence is a prefix and which ones are suffixes?

[@andreynogueira7419]

Take a look at poeaffix.net/

[@theschiffer6852]

doesnt work, not showing stuff like 30% more ele damage on helmets, or avoid fire/lig/whatever damage, minion speed and so on and on and on....

[@Sonycat53]

Ziggy please answer this :P

[@shanecranston3049]

what type of tab is it at 2:09 ¿

[@castlemaid]

love your guides, they helped me get into the game just enough to get me fully ready for essence league, whop just hit lvl 60 on my assassin, but i kept getting troll lag baited in the cruel lab ;n; rip

[@ProzureRysownik]

Great job as always Ziggy! Have been here through your first stream. :) Playing along with your new movies. - Sorry for my english. Greetings from Poland. :)

[@paulsincai6440]

+ZiggyD Gaming - thx for the guide; when can we expect a guide for CI BV Pathfinder? L.E ...and until then could you point the order of the ascendency points one should use? :)

[@vonantero9458]

How about using the low essences jewlery for the chaos recipe?

[@KingKatura]

did you buy the gore skull or did you get from the boxes if you tried any boxes how many did it take before you got something decent?

[@MrCmking]

i found a Essence of Delirium and i have no clue what i should use it on. any ideas? im playing your assreacher build(love it so far) and was thinking putting it on a ring.

[@KRinsdale]

hey ziggy. do you think using woe essences for the % WED worth it for a lightning arrow/blast rain deadeye? would slivertongue add more to such a build than voltaxic?

[@KRinsdale]

% WED on quivers.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

If you're going chain LA then yeah, you could craft a solid quiver with %WED. Slivertongue LA could be better clearpseed, but the safety of voltaxic is really good. The builds would be different too, one phys and the other pure lightning ele.

[@KRinsdale]

Very interesting. I was following one of Mathil's guides for a voltaxic LA deadeye, but the new hotness is too tempting! Maybe I will see what I acquire first and let that decide until I can test both against each other for map clearing (my primary goal)

[@VictusBcb]

Man, this league has been good to me so far. My trapper is wrecking with all these great little gear tweaks that can be managed. Though the game is seriously trying to tell me to be a summoner, since I get fear essences about 35% of the time XD (and I've gotten both Dead Reckoning *and* Sidhebreath in the first two days)

[@heavyferrum397]

ziggy , i have a question for you, if i reach 100% map objective completion , that means that i cant get lower tiers in maps anymore?

[@kingslayermix869]

in his previous atlas videos, ziggy mentioned that u get possible map drops between all the maps u unlocked and any maps adjacent to the one ur doing(if you haven't unlocked them). so map completion wouldn't stop u from getting low level maps

[@mrampletin-7674]

+kingslayer MIX this has changed

[@monkas3425]

what about Remnant of Corruption?

[@draakisback]

loving essence league. found a low ilevel 6s 5l and was able to craft a beastly 5l out of it with the essences

[@homemadelemonade976]

same, made my bv lvling lot easier

[@markusmeier8520]

What I am not getting is how you only get 1 bad roll using an essence... Mine say that propertie are restricted to level 35. Thats like all rolls are bad arent they?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

This early in a league the right selection of even low level mods can be good on jewellery. I regularly find several chaos value jewellery while leveling for example. And the T1 essence use is mainly for recipes like prismatic and chaos/regal recipe. T2-3 can be used on other jewellery with a better chance at decent mods. Most of the good mods on jewellery aren't that high level.

[@thepredator666qc4]

hey ziggy could you make a video about life/energy shield/mana pretty plz..........im so confused as to when go full energy shield insteat of life or vice versa, thank you

[@Alex.LeJeune]

With the woe i crafted a 700 + ES feels good mate, and a tri rez pris ring, only reason i wanted to ply essense league

[@Jakjer]

How can I tell how much my gear is worth? I just started playing again, but never got into buying/selling gear.

[@ravenger9273]

Any tips on using essences on weapons? I mainly use hatred, wrath and anger to get more dmg on the weapon. Not sure if it is the right thing to do..

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Contempt for physical builds and Zeal for elemental builds.

[@RandomHero.13]

but don't t1 essence have a crafting lvl max? i thought you couldn't use them on high baselvl items

[@pck4491]

Hey Ziggy, I recently started playing PoE and I noticed by screen is EXTREMELY dark. In some dungeons I literally just have a black screen and move around ONLY using the map. I don't think this is supposed to be normal - do you know how to fix this?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Sounds like a contrast issue. Either monitor or your graphics card settings. You could try playing in windowed fullscreen and see if that helps? Otherwise hit up PoE support.

[@pck4491]

Thanks :) I read a guide to lower graphics settings and it's much better although everything looks like 2000's runescape now HAHA. I do realize the game is very demanding though and I don't have much of a gaming computer

[@IvoVaruk]

turn off shadow quality 'off' and try keeping other stast high

[@sethpeterson6428]

This is how I have been making my money as well. Every single 5L I find (which has been around 4 or 5) I use Essence of Greed and sell. Depending on the base of the item, it is very profitable.

[@austinmsoren]

What do you think is going to happen long term in this leagues economy? With an absolute flood of decent to good rares... will it be impossible to make good currency later in the league?

[@Ohtrin]

Leveling gear will be cheap and really good, any decent late game gear won't sell at all, the perfect gears will be on mirror tier prices. You will be able to get some profit from Shaper related content (farming) and corrupted essences.

[@andreynogueira7419]

To sum up, the best way to keep yourself healthy in this economy if you're "not lucky enough" is to simply farm, which means losing in quality but winning in quantity after all

[@froggythebob]

I saw that first clip live and it was dope

[@tehf00n]

Thanks for sharing. My life is complete knowing you were there when ZiggyD enchanted gloves.

[@froggythebob]

+tehf00n I'm here to serve

[@ary2000]

my problem is that i never really know how much an item is worth. any recommendations for things to read/watch?

[@kingslayermix869]

ziggy had a video talking about this

[@NalleJohansson]

poe.trade/ for PC or www.poeprices.info/ the latter one is better suited for build options and so on, but it works as a PC too.

[@kokainkalle]

As a new player is standard or essence best to play?

[@2134Leks]

whats that red one in your invent?

[@C04x]

That's a Remnant of Corruption

[@petrinafilip96]

Does your loot filter already have these bases?

[@kingslayermix869]

he updated his loot filter before league even started

[@petrinafilip96]

kingslayer MIX That doesn't answer my question.

[@kingslayermix869]

+Filip Petrina it's yes duh. he got to see these items way before other streamers so of course hell have them already

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah it's got all the new stuff ziggyd.tv/featured/ziggyds-loot-filter/ If you want to look for specific white bases outside of good helms for Uber lab enchants you'll want to add them yourself though.

[@ultramarins666]

ziggyD is there a way to get your loot filter ??? thanks for your awsome vids ^^

[@NalleJohansson]

Google is a wonderful thing, took all of 1 sec to get ziggyd.tv/featured/ziggyds-loot-filter/ (i used ziggyd lootfilter on google *protip*) :P

[@Avel_runner]

It doesn't work on Essence League.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yes it does, I'm using it :P

[@NalleJohansson]

Aveleira u have to load it in, and know where u put it. after that it works fine. hint here is, press O then UI tab, then scroll to the bottom.

[@Avel_runner]

I tried to use it on Essence and it didn't work. I think I'll try to download it again asap and try again.

[@wavedash-]

man upgrading tier 1 essences with 3 to 1 seems WAY easier than finding two-stones, alching three different ones, making sure none of the two-stones are low ilvl, and swapping out rings to get 10% prismatic

[@TheSpencer1000]

the point is you get more value from using the tier 1's then you do from upgrading them. You can do whatever you want though. Also you can set your loot filter to make sure the white rings that drop are a a high enough ilvl so you literally just pick up all white rings and just throw essences into them. Seems simple enough.

[@andreynogueira7419]

Most vendor recipes in PoE were created so you can reuse stuff you don't want/need. Eventually you'll find out their value and won't be able to play without making use of them.

[@yvanazastrasz9013]

If you use tier 1 essences on lvl 60+ rings and ammy, they are worth 1/3 chaos (as you really only need the rings and ammy for chaos recipe : rest flows as sh**)

[@silent_arbiter]

can you link a good loot filter for essence league please? thanks ziggy :)

[@kingslayermix869]

u know ziggy has a loot filter right?

[@InstantQQ]

There's also Neversink loot filter

[@Nerdtron93]

I will be using them on chaos recipe personally

[@MrSnakehead95]

Played PoE for 700 hours now. I have had exactly *one* exalted orb drop across all leagues, and Ziggy gets one in the first three days of a league. Unbelievable

[@andreynogueira7419]

"Player Skill" + "Streamer Luck" = Profit Confirmed :P

[@uhis1686]

yea lol i have never dropped an exalted in 930 hours of play, however through selling stuff i have made multiple exalted worth of chaos

[@tehf00n]

In the 2000 hours i've played, I have dropped 4. One came from someone else's prophecy in the freeAlchs league the other day :D

[@lelcetz7628]

thats a dick move tehf00n. i had someone do that to me. FUCKING TWICE. the next time an exalt drop 99 percent someone takes it. I've had exalts drop, i've picked up 0 exalts.

[@tehf00n]

lelcetz if loot mode is on permanent, what else am I supposed to do? Leave the group so someone can pick it up? I don't get it.

[@rolandpahi3079]

OMG. That Epic Essence-crafting... triple res, life,.... the chances :)

[@timv7206]

ziggy i guess envy is really strong, too essence drain seems to be popular, too so later on in the league you might be able to create insane jewelery

[@Krakenkiller6]

I've been playing POE for more than a year and still don't really understand the whole vendor recipe/currency system...

[@tehf00n]

Maybe you should try Call of Duty then

[@JustAnotherDiamond1TrashKKR]

Man selling in poe is so bad. Aquisition and Procurement dont work anymore, and only way to sell now is to buy premium stash tabs... This is just so nasty....

[@clae8715]

you can still use acquisition...

[@scottsanderson8855]

I feel that GGG needs 2 have their own trading system, not 3rd party websites for selling buying gear! but I've been saying this since beta. It needs to b in game so you will not need to open other stuff besides the game

[@Brynoize]

For all the updates they have done not having an in game "shop" for players or even a simple AH is piss poor and one of the reasons many people stop playing.

[@MuzgontarAco]

Honestly if they just put in a ingame browser, this would be a lot better :D

[@draakisback]

both programs work fine. I use procurement to sell most of my stuff.

[@ravosblackrose]

fear essences are my fav

[@IcoKirov]

i like all those seasons, but i don't like that you can't transfer your characters to it. i'm not very active player... if i make a new character every time, i don't achieve anything significant. why don't they make it possible to switch from standard to the season.

[@kingslayermix869]

since the whole point is everyone starts fresh?

[@rubri5783]

Market abuse mostly. People would just get all their rare stuff from standard and flood the new season's markets, ruining the economy completely instead of letting it evolve normally. It'd ruin the game for all the newer players, just getting things as soon as they get a new character made, and there'd be no life to the game. People would just go in, look at the new stuff, go "Neat" then leave until the next season after a few days.

[@IcoKirov]

yeah, i can understand that, but why not add the changes in the starndard league as well? i have a couple of characters who haven't even finished the game properly... i will never use them if i want to try every new league. so if i want to try the new changes, i have to reset and start from scratch, reach a certain point of a not finished game, and then new league, and start over again if i want to try the new league.

[@rubri5783]

They've added a lot of features from old leagues actually. Spirits, bloodline mobs, nemesis, and now prophecy. It's quite literally the same as it was in the leagues themselves but less guaranteed and prominent is all. It's not every single one mind you yeah, but there's really only been a few leagues that haven't been made part of it. I will admit though it'd be really nice if there was a sandbox style alongside it. Like for essence, Essence Standard with all the old characters, then Essence casual/hardcore like it is now. It'd definitely be best of both worlds I think.

[@andreynogueira7419]

Exactly. The fact is that PoE is a loot-based RPG, which makes Economy matter A LOT during the gaming experience. And that can be explained by comparing Currency ratio between leagues. Right now, the exalt to chaos ratio might be around 1:45 in softcore Essence league and around 1:85 in softcore Standard league, which may look surprising if you don't realize that everything tends to go to Standard in the end (inflating the economy). There would be no good future for this game if you had to start from the bottom where everything is overpriced. That would be like being in Las Vegas with no money at all. My tip to get rich? Get as many Exalts as possible and save it for the end of the league, without, of course, sacrificing your fun. EDIT: Sorry for those ratios. They're no links to the video. Also, their values Will change soon.

[@brentamer2219]

thanks ziggy helpful as

[@kawalski09]

Thx that was helpful

[@kingslayermix869]

If the new wings are the chase item then I guess I won with these boxes already

[@olasarcasm]

quality video, mate :)

[@MadMajnun]

Very helpfull thanks =)

[@MidagedgamerBlogspotter]

Props to ZiggyD for doing these deep dives but man, anytime I have to consider the external market in this game I just get nauseous. The one major failing of this game is all the extraneous crap outside of the game that you need to know to be successful. It takes away from the gameplay. Crafting, trading etc. should never take more than 5% of any RPG. GGG doesn't even make any money off the trading either so why bias the game towards it? Maybe in a few years they'll roll the trading stuff in and minimize all this geek gaming accounting processes.

[@ImTheSlyDevil]

very helpful ty. =)

[@MsGhoulz]

Think they gone overboard with all the new goddamn currencies.

[@therealneoturk]

i hate that i have to use a guide offline to learn about recipes in this game. using a website to sell things is annoying but that the recipe thing is by far the worse thing. but i love essence league so far

[@brandonzack2260]

i dont even knw using this essence effectively

[@erik123362]

the drop rate must have been nerfed. I routinely run out of them.

[@systemhalodark]

Just like Breaches will be less common, should they hit the base game.

[@DragonCaller1]

Ok Ziggy i just saw your first Essence transmute and how can i say this in the nicest way possible hmmm F U Tehe! I have yet to get a good transmute at all im so jelly.

[@Shmack_]

So essences are useless sounds like. Unless it’s a guarantee I kill the guys with the essences I skip

[@deyjaacterius9610]

*screams internally*

[@SubZeroMG4u]

saphine ring has cold res not life ring :D

[@tehf00n]

it can have life.

[@SubZeroMG4u]

tehf00n sapphire rings with life on implicit? really ? really ? if u don't pay attention .. don't talk :P

[@SubZeroMG4u]

tehf00n did i insulted you ? you piece of shit .. ziggy was talking about implicit.. stupid fuck.

[@tehf00n]

SubZeroMG4u yeah you did. hence my response.

[@SubZeroMG4u]

tehf00n show me where i insulted u before u did

[@madtrigger6835]

Lost

[@zugzwang8261]

This is hilarious

[@Guyver-v5r]

I came up with a new aura for poe, would not it be cool if ZiggiD prompted its developers! aura soaring - reserved 90% mana. increased movement speed 30%. effects on the ground,do not apply to you.raises us above the earth, and you soar.You can not use movement skils.
