Essences
Essences can be crafted at the Rainbow Treehohuse, purchased in the Pearly Parlour, won from spinning the Wheel of Prizes, or awarded though daily login calendars, events, or completing quests. The primary use of Essences is as ingredients when crafting other customisation items, including other Essences, but they may be used in crafting some Decor items as well.
Unlike other customisation items, Essences can be used as fodder for Building Materials at the Molten Mixer.
