### What is Essence Used For?
Essence is used to enhance equipment at the Enhancer, increasing stats and unlocking Rune Slots. Enhancement success isn’t guaranteed and becomes more costly per attempt, with the risk of failure.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Should I invest Essence into temporary gear?**
– If the gear is a temporary step, it’s best to save Essences for better equipment.

**What does Craft Chance mean?**
– Enhancement success decreases as you enhance, risking failure and loss of Essences but no equipment prestige. Retry with new materials if needed.
