Perfect Essence of the Body Crafting Synergy

Perfect Essence of the Body upgrades a Rare Body Armour by removing one random modifier and adding a guaranteed modifier. Unlike previous Essence tiers, Perfect Essences guarantee a specific modifier based on item type, offering deterministic crafting.

Perfect Essence Mechanics:

• All Essence modifiers are either a Prefix or a Suffix

• If the item has all Prefix slots filled, the Essence will remove one of those Prefixes

• If there are empty Prefix slots, the Essence may remove a Suffix instead

• To avoid losing valuable modifiers, ensure the opposite slot type is filled before applying

• Cannot be used on items that already have the same modifier type as the Essence provides

Best Use Cases:

• Creating Rare Body Armours with increased Life pool

• Enhancing survivability for builds focused on tankiness or sustain

• Ideal for crafting defensive setups in endgame content

Usage Notes:

• Can only be applied to Rare Body Armours

• Removes one random modifier from the item

• Guarantees one modifier from the Essence pool

• Cannot be combined with other Essences

• After application, further crafting can be done via Catalysts, Crafting Orbs, or Omens
