So, you’re diving into Nightingale, huh? Well, buckle up ’cause you’re gonna need some currency. And not just any currency, but Essence, to snag those blueprints or patch up your gear. Luckily, there’s a trick or two to fill up your pockets. Here’s a quick guide on boosting your Essence stash in Nightingale.
Wanna know how to rake in more Essence? It’s not rocket science. First off, you can “Extract” it from stuff you don’t need anymore. Then, there’s the loot from those baddies you knock out. Don’t forget the treasure chests; they’re like Essence piñatas. And, oh, those mini-dungeons? They’re pretty much Essence goldmines.
But hey, not all Essence is created equal. There are four tiers, each rarer than the last. As you plow through the campaign, you’ll start bumping into the fancier types.
Now, if you’re itching for a solid Essence farm early on, here’s a pro tip: start extracting. Dive into your inventory, right-click on an item that’s just gathering dust, and hit “Extract.” Boom, Essence.
The amount of Essence you get? Well, it depends. Say you’ve got 100 Plant Fiber. Extract those, and you’ve got yourself 100 Essence Dust. Easy peasy.
Oh, and about those NPC followers. You can only have one tagging along. But let’s say you help another NPC and now you’ve got extra gear. Just transfer that gear to your inventory, extract it, and voila, more Essence for you.
Ever thought about just gathering a bunch of sticks and fiber? It’s a quick way to extract a heap of Essence. Super handy if your gear’s seen better days.
Now, onto the juicy part: Essence from enemies and chests. Knock out a creature, and there’s a chance it’ll drop some Essence. Stumble upon a treasure chest? That could be your lucky day.
You might even spot Essence bundles while exploring places like the Faewilds. Keep an eye out for landmarks; those mini-dungeons are ripe with clusters of Essence.
So, what do you do with all this Essence? Repairing your gear is a big one. Just right-click on whatever’s broken, select “Repair,” and it’s as good as new.
And those blueprints you’ve been eyeing? Essence Traders have got you covered. You’ll find at least one in each biome combo. Just pop open the map or the Guidebook with the “B” key to track them down.
In the end, farming Essence in Nightingale is key. You’re gonna need heaps of it for all those Realm Cards and goodies from vendors. So, keep at it, and soon you’ll be swimming in Essence.
