Breach Blessings can now be used to upgrade a regular Breachstone into the Flawless version of that Breachstone. Breach Blessings are now rarer as a result.
Place a Esh’s Breachstone in a map device to open the Esh’s Domain(level 81). The Esh’s Domain area has a single breach at the beginning. When you touch it a countdown starts at 25 seconds and runs down until you come close to the arena of the Breachlord Esh. The countdown goes up by 1 second per kill.
Esh, Forked Thought is the Breachlord in Esh’s Domain. The following items can be dropped from him:

Since the breaches can spawn a very large number of monsters that hit hard is advisable to be cautious when opening breaches; death can come quickly and without warning.
Characters that have high survivability, high mobility, high damage output as well as good area clearing ability are best at effectively clearing breaches.

The drop level of Splinters of Esh is 1 and can be dropped by Breach monsters or Clasped Hands within breaches. 100 Splinters of the same type can be combined into a Esh’s Breachstone.
There is currently an issue with the currency tab; if you remove a stack of 100 splinters they will not upgrade to a Breachstone. In order to fix it, remove a single splinter and put it back on the stack.
