Element is a crafted resource obtained from certain endgame activities and structures. It is required for many advanced engrams and is essential for summoning and fighting bosses.
Spawn Element directly into your inventory using its GFI code. Since it has no numeric item ID, the GFI method is the standard way to hand it out on a server. The stack size and blueprint status are not applicable to this resource.
