While hunting monsters, you will occasionally see them drop something that does not appear in their drop table. Something other than the usual soul crystal, and much rarer than that. This squiggly little ball of information is that monster's essence, and the more of a monster's essence you accumulate, the more information you will have of them in your Research (B) tab. A higher level of research also increases the amount of EXP you gain from killing them, as well as increases drop rate. The highest level of research for a monster is level 4. | |||

Acquiring your first essence will register that monster into your Research tab. At a cursory glance, you will be able to see that monster's sprite and your current Research level for them. Upon clicking on the monster's square, another window will appear called "Monster Info" in which you will see their name and how many of them you have killed. There will be a lot of ???s, which will progressively be replaced with information after reaching higher levels of Research. | Acquiring your first essence will register that monster into your Research tab.
