Guild Wars 2

I was doing the Halloween event and I bought those 4 Essences of Halloween.
After combining them in Mystic Forge I got Mystic Chest which gave me Pile of Mystic Dust and Mystic Keystone Crystal.
These two items need to be combined with mystic coins and something called “Essence of the city” to provide a city portal scroll.
Does anyone know what “Essence of a city” is and how do I get it?
I’ve googled for it but received exactly 0 hits. Also wiki has no info on any of these items (at least when i typed this).
Thanks for any info!

Google has 1 result now. This thread Expect everyone with the same question to come here and look for the same answer you are looking for ^^

There is no item called “Essence of the city”, however there are items called “Essence of X”. The X can be changed for any city in the game: Rata Sum, Hoelbrak, LA etc. I’ve not seen all of the pieces combined, but it creates a ‘city portal scroll’ – I assume it’s an infinite* item that you can use to teleport to one of the cities for free.

*It might not be infinite, but each city essence is worth between 10 and 500g as of writing this, so I hope it’s infinite.

EDIT: So I’ve traveled down this line myself. If you want the details, I’ve posted them all on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3q1038/insert_city_here_portal_scrolls/

Thanks. The only part I’m missing is the Essence of a city. Everything else is just waiting to be combined. I will keep an eye both here and that reddit thread to see if someone knows how to get them. Thanks again!

kinda off topic but what did you put with the Essences of Halloween in the mystic forge?

The essence of a city comes from the Mystic Chests. I opened 8 chests and got one essence.
