How to Get Prismatic Essence
|
|
Speak With Chen Qiqi Near Poplar Bazaar
First, speak with Chen Qiqi, a hidden NPC vendor located east of Poplar Bazaar.
To find her, teleport to Poplar Bazaar. Head toward the Divine Craft Corridor gate. Look for a tree between the gate and a broken house. Chen Qiqi can be found sitting atop the tree.
Make sure to exhaust all of Chen Qiqi's dialogue options. Doing this unlocks her shop and reveals how to obtain Prismatic Essence.
Attack Goldcrest Runners in the Shadows in the Sandstorm Event
You can obtain Prismatic Essence during the Shadows in the Sandstorm event. During this event, glowing walking bells called Goldcrest Runners will appear in specific areas of the map.
Look for bells that leave a glowing trail outline as they move, as these have a chance to drop Prismatic Essence when defeated. Not every bell drops the item, so you may need to defeat multiple enemies to collect more. Using your bow is the best way to do it.
How to Trigger Shadows in the Sandstorm Event
| # | How to Trigger Shadows in the Sandstorm Event |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Set Your Time to Wu Open the time menu and set the in-game time to Wu. The Shadows in the Sandstorm event can appear during this time period. ▶︎ How to Change Time |
| 2 |
 Log Out and Log Back In Until It Appears If the event does not show on the map, log out and log back into the game repeatedly until the event marker appears. This helps refresh the world state and may cause the event to spawn. |
This is the most efficient way to trigger Shadows in the Sandstorm. It may take a few attempts, but repeatedly resetting the world by logging out and back in while the time is set to Wu is the most reliable way to make the event appear.
Shadows in the Sandstorm Locations
The Shadows in the Sunstorm event can appear in three different locations on the map. Check the following areas when the event is active:
- Near Chen Qiqi
- Southern area of the map, east of Squarewall Hold Ruins
- Central region of the map, northwest of Peaceward Camp
These locations will appear as event markers on the map when the activity is available.
Farm Bells by Resetting the Area
While the event is active, you can farm bells efficiently by resetting the enemies.
After clearing the bells in one area, teleport to the nearest waypoint and return to the location. The Goldcrest Runners will respawn, letting you continue farming Prismatic Essence without waiting for the event to end.
You can also rotate between the three event locations to collect more drops quickly.
Weekly Limit
Prismatic Essence appears to have a weekly limit of around 100, meaning you can only obtain a certain amount per week.
If you stop receiving drops during the event, you may have reached the weekly cap.
Where to Use Prismatic Essence
Exchange for Items at Chen Qiqi's Shop
Prismatic Essence is used to purchase items from Chen Qiqi, a hidden vendor located east of Poplar Bazaar. After speaking with her and unlocking her shop, you can exchange Prismatic Essence for various items in the Five-Colored Glaze Exchange.
Items Available in Five-Colored Glaze Exchange Vendor
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Fleeting Dream | 300 Prismatic Essence |
| Softweave Dye Powder | 10 Prismatic Essence |
| Inkshade Hairdye | 25 Prismatic Essence |
