Essence

Essences are Magic Potion items released in their associated year and month. They can be used on your Active Pet to transform it into a random selection from that Essence's available colors. Most Essences are Admin Distributed, but a few are classed as R100 and thus still enter the economy through Cooking or Kaz. The number of available colors varies from four to eighteen.

The standard for monthly pet releases has lately been properly established, and current Essences usually feature the eighteen pets available in the Cash Shop and BP Shop for that month. The idea of an Essence is that one can risk their luck to buy an Essence and possibly receive a coloration that is actually sold for more than that value. Note that Essences can also transform your pet into a coloration from the BP Shop. The usual price of an Essence is 3 GP in the Cash Shop for that month. Rarely, Essences are given out through other means, such as the monthly Premium Item, during an event, or from Trivia.
