Guide to the Modern Use of Enchanting Materials: Essences

This is part of a larger Guide to the Modern Use of Enchanting Materials. This part concerns only Essences that are gained by disenchanting items. To find information about Dusts, Shards, and Crystals, follow the link to the main guide and reference the other sections.

Please notify me if you spot a mistake. Also, this guide is certainly incomplete, so let me know if there is something you think I should add. This is a work in progress and will likely evolve over time.

Numbers in parenthesis after an item in the “Modern Use” column indicate the number of Essences required for that particular use.

Material	Modern Use
Lesser Magic Essence	Convert into 3 into a Greater Magic Essence to use in leveling enchanting
Greater Magic Essence	Leveling Enchanting (10)
Lesser Astral Essence	Leveling Enchanting (25)
Greater Astral Essence	Convert into 3 Lesser Astral Essence to use in leveling enchanting
Lesser Mystic Essence	I have not yet found a compelling use for this
Greater Mystic Essence	I have not yet found a compelling use for this
Lesser Nether Essence	Leveling Enchanting (25) Enchant Boots – Minor Speed(Spell) (1)
Greater Nether Essence	Enchant Chest – Stats(Spell) (2)(Heirloom)(Twink)
Lesser Eternal Essence	Leveling Enchanting (15) Enchant Bracer – Healing Power(Spell) (4)(Twink) Enchanted Leather (1) to make various items for transmogrification use. Specifically, I have made and sold Frostguard but I am sure there are others. Convert 3 into Greater Eternal Essence
Greater Eternal Essence	Enchant Weapon – Healing Power(Spell) (4)(Heirloom)(Twink) Enchant Weapon – Spellpower(Spell) (6)(Heirloom)(Twink) Enchant Weapon – Mighty Intellect(Spell) (5)(Heirloom)(Twink) Enchant Weapon – Mighty Spirit(Spell) (4)(Heirloom)(Twink) Enchant Shield – Vitality(Spell) (1)(Heirloom)(Twink) Convert into 3 Lesser Eternal Essence
Lesser Planar Essence	Leveling Enchanting (20) Convert 3 into Greater Planar Essence
Greater Planar Essence	Enchant Cloak – Stealth(Spell) (3)(Heirloom)(Twink) Enchant 2H Weapon – Major Agility(Spell) (6)(Twink) Enchant Gloves – Superior Agility(Spell) (3)(Heirloom)(Twink) Imbued Netherweave Bag
Lesser Cosmic Essence	Leveling Enchanting (2) Convert 3 into Greater Cosmic Essence
Greater Cosmic Essence	Enchant Cloak – Wisdom (6)(Twink) Enchant 2H Weapon – Massacre (6)(Twink) Otherworldly Bag (4)
Lesser Celestial Essence	Leveling Enchanting (10) Convert 3 into a Greater Celestial Essence
Greater Celestial Essence	Leveling Enchanting (35) Enchant Weapon – Landslide (5)(Twink) Enchant Off-Hand – Superior Intellect (4)(Twink) My guess is that there are a few more “Expansion Twink” enchants that are made with this that still have value. I’ll add them when I figure out which they are. Magic Lamp (4) can only be made by Alliance characters but can be learned by both Alliance and Horde characters
Mysterious Essence	Leveling Enchanting (34) Current Enchants Ethereal Shard (5) Make 3 Spirit Dust with Mysterious Diffusion (1)
