After Essence League, Will essence drop in standard?

Will Essence drop in standard league after essence league ends similar to strong box and shrines?

they said essence would make rare great again, would be stupid to say something like that if essence only drop in 1 temp league.

Make rare great again for just 3 month?

Bet it will come in standard for sure.

Zana mod probably, when you see the horror you can make with essences (1k es armor please...) it would be a nightmare to balance the game around them.

+21 to the absolute best roll on an es chest is game breaking?

I doubt it'll make it into the core game as-is, it'll probably end up as a zana mod or something.

They've said in the past that they don't want to clutter the core game with random league mods, and I'm inclined to agree. Essences are cool, but they don't mesh well with the general theme of Path of Exile, and would be far better suited to some kind of Zana mod.

On that topic though, I'd love to see Zana get a few more mods on her list. I wish they'd bring back Talisman league :(

fade out tormented spirits and shrines. they are nice but i would rather see talismans and essences in the core game instead.

i could also imagine them having league mods rotate in and out monthly or for every league or something.

i'd expect it to be on Zana, i hope the fruity ones will still be available somewhere and they were great for leveling but i can't really see them surviving the current league.

The whole zana map thing could use an overhaul though, just make it a comprehensive list of the previous leagues and let us pick one to run, the current list feels like it contains 4 you'll never run and perandus :P

Nobody is going to pay the currency on a Zana mod to take the chance at getting a low tier essence in their map. If they made it a Zana mod, they would have to make it Screaming, at a bare minimum, for anyone to use it.

Get rid of the laggy ass shrines and replace them with the essences in the core game.

Until GGG actually makes an announcement on this, we have no way of knowing if they will be added to the core game, or be available as a Zana mod in the future, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see them as a Zana mod in the future. Like Talismans, I think they could be great in the core game, in a simplified form. Just like talismans, cutting down on the numbers (ie. reduce the number of times you have to upgrade to reach the highest level Woe, etc.) would make the system much more useful outside of a league centered around them. If we never see Decay again, or Socketed Gems have +3% base crit again, I will be sad though.

it's not just the higher flat roll, it's the fact that it's also guaranteed, making high ES pieces much much easier to get... it's like chaos-spamming a high-ES chest, except you know you'll get t0 flat ES every time, so all you need to get 'lucky' to hit is % and hybrid.

Point is, it not only raised the peak amount of ES a chestpiece can get, it made acquiring high ES chestpieces much easier.


Besides that, there were a bunch of other things, like Delirium weapons or Horror helms or Insanity gloves, that are too strong to not be gated behind Zana, imo. Although having essences be Zana-only eliminates their use in leveling and would probably warrant getting rid of any essences below Screaming, cuz otherwise you'd just be paying to be ripped off by finding weak essences nearly every time.
