Essence of Poison¶

Essences

Adds a random poison property to an item (up to tier 3)

Drops¶

When creatures or chests drop currency, the game first picks a family by the total weight of its items, then an item in it: the rarer the drop, the more it favours higher tiers.

Properties it can add¶

Adds one random property of its element to an item with a free place, at tier 3 or lower. A boss essence also adds its boss's own properties, which never roll on loot.
