Essence Belts were first introduced at Duskruin in August 2022 at The Essencetials shop. The essence belts will unlock special abilities and magical benefits depending on which essences are loaded into their pockets. The belt will hold one essence off the shelf, two essences at Tier 2, and a total of three essences at Tier 3.

The current essences allowed are: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.

The belts may hold up to 1000 charges of each essence. (i.e 1000 fire, 1000 air, etc). Regular elemental essences will add 25 charges. Greater elemental essences will add 250 charges.
