In this Skywind update, we’re excited to introduce 34 brand-new Essence Books, adding a huge wave of new custom abilities, combat effects, movement options, utility tools, and unique item powers for players to discover and use.
This expansion brings a much wider range of playstyles to the server, with new essences that can be applied to your gear to unlock everything from powerful offensive casts and projectile effects to mobility abilities, shapeshifting, mining upgrades, environmental control, trapping tools, and passive bonuses. Whether you want to enhance PvP, create stronger utility builds, improve your movement, or experiment with entirely new item-based mechanics, this update adds a massive amount of new depth to Essence progression on Skywind.
