Essence's still in use??

I been inactive for awhile but, last heard we were done with essence? $o I drained my 1k essence to see we still need them -_- ...pretty sure I even asked Remi if should spend them before expansion comes n she said yeah.. ugh..Im a Mad Noob for real..

They will not be acquirable anymore, so if you have a large amount you can craft them into the base level Cracked Jewel, however if you have less than 5 you should liquidate them to make inventory room.
