Essence Update - Maintenance

Dear Florensians,

After more than 2 years of development, we are excited to present you the biggest update Florensia has ever had: The Essence System. Todays 24.06.2020 maintenance will introduce the Essence System to the live servers for everyone to enjoy.
The servers will be taken offline at 6:00am Central Europe Time (CET). We have no ETA on when the patch will be done but we expect a long maintenance, so please bare with us!

[h2]What is the Essence System?[/h2] The Essence System marks a fundamental change to the equipment system in Florensia. Previously, we had the Fusion System which would allow you to upgrade your gear with bonus stats that would last for 24 hours. While this sounded great in theory, it never worked the way it was intended to and we felt that Florensia was not benefitting from such a system.
Therefore, we started working on a new concept that would allow the players to customize their playstyle like never before and at the same time provide late game content - which Florensia was lacking.

Now, after more than 2 years of development we are finally ready to release the Essence System and we hope that you are going to love it as much as we do!


[h2]What new content does the Essence System provide and how does it work?[/h2]
Along with the Essence System, there are over 260 new Essence items and 280 recipes for you to craft!
Each piece of equipment, from your armor to your weapons can now be extended to have up to 4 Item Slots. There are two different types of item slots: Normal slots and Core Slots, latter of which are marked by having a golden border. The only difference between normal slots and the Core Slots are that the Core Slots can hold Purple Essences, which represent the highest tier of Essences as well as some other rare ones that cannot be equipped in normal slots.

To get started with Essences, simply go to any of the lords on the respective islands and click the new "Item Slot" button. In there, you will find everything that you need to extend your gear (create the slots) to unlocking them and even removing Essences from slots, should you wish to do so.
Once you have the slots unlocked, head over to your skill window, switch to the Action tab and in the category Basic Actions you will find a new action called Essence Management.
Once clicked, it will open a window in which you can equip your items that have unlocked slots with Essences.
