Clarify Bozjan Essence Information

I've been hearing some grievances from people who feel the game doesn't teach them enough about Lost Actions, namely the Essences. These concerns make some players apprehensive to use them.

First, there is no information that explains how long Essences last.
Second, there is no information on whether an Essence's effect persists through death.

This information could be found out simply by using one, but the thought alone of wasting an Essence is enough to make some players forgo using them entirely which impacts their experience in and ability to do the content.

Could this information be added to the Lost Actions guide or clarified in the Essence tooltip so as to avoid confusion?

Or you could communicate with other players.

While in theory that's what you should be doing, do you know most of the playerbase of this game? They won't talk to anyone.

They do in bozjan... which is the area you use lost actions so... Like seriously send a shout someone will respond eventually, you might not get one asap since they may be fighting something so.

Don't the Essence's say on their tool tip that they last until a new one is used, and cannot be used in conjunction with another essence? AT least I know the Essence of Templar/Skirmisher/Bloodsucker/etc do say that.

Pretty much, yeah. I dunno how SE can be any more clearer. When I first got the Lost Actions when the Bozja zone was addedm I read the tooltips and went "yeah that sounds very nice."

The tooltip is missing an important bit: Essence ends when you leave the instance (be it DR or the front). One of the reasons why I'm rather reluctant to use them regularly, they drop that often and there are a million different ones of them so the drop rate is even more dilluted.

Both sides have a point here, there's too many idiots who dont read their tooltips, but then again the tooptip doesnt specify it goes after the instance

which doesn't really help since osme of them eg protect do linger between instances

I mean, that's just something you learn pretty early on when using the low level Essence. If reluctant to use them, then just use them for the Castrum and Delubrum.
