Gear Essence
Melts spare 1-slot armour, garments, shoes and shields into essence — the material the Star Forge runs on.
| NPC | Essence Smelter — prt_in 22,70 |
| Takes | 23 slotted [1] items, nothing else · spare copies only — unequipped, not rented |
| Gives | 1–3 essence per piece · better gear yields more |
| Fee | 10,000z per item smelted |
📜 One essence per slot#
Four essences, and they do not substitute — spare garments never help you upgrade a shield.
| Essence | Made from |
|---|---|
| Armor Essence | Spare 1-slot armour |
| Garment Essence | Spare 1-slot garments |
| Footgear Essence | Spare 1-slot shoes |
| Buckler Essence | Spare 1-slot shields |
🎁 Everything it takes, and what you get#
Only the slotted [1] versions are accepted. A plain Manteau is refused; a Manteau [1] is taken — the two look nearly identical in a bag.

The smelter's Rates & Info menu lists the same table in game.
Every completed smelt — however many copies go in — counts one toward Star Marshal Elban's weekly Recycle Items ×3 (Daily and Weekly Quests).
Short on a type? Melt for it, or watch the Star Token Exchange: all four Essences are in its daily pool, 20 per roll for the whole server. The weekly Star Token Shop stopped selling them on 24 September.
⚠️ It will not eat your good gear by accident#
You choose the item, then exactly which copies go in — each shown with its refine level, cards, options and grade before you confirm. Pick all plain takes every +0 copy with no cards, options or grade in one go.
