Your main objective in The Forge is to earn as much money as possible by making a lot of profit. This is very crucial for buying equipment and upgrading your weapons. One of the best ways to earn money in Forge is by farming essence. There are various types of essence that you can get, and farming them can be quite tricky, especially if you are new to the game. Below we have listed all The Forge essences, how you can get them, and their uses.
List of All Essences in The Forge
There are seven types of essence in The Forge. The higher the rarity of the essence, the more gold you can obtain by selling it. Here is a list of all the essences in the game that you can get:
| Essence Type | Rarity | Sell Price ($) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Tiny | Common | 2.5 | The faint remnant of a creature’s life force. Though weak, it still carries enough energy to slightly empower your gear. |
 Small | Common | 5 | A modest fragment of raw spirit harvested from weaker foes. Primarily used for gently refining your equipment’s latent potential. |
 Medium | Uncommon | 15 | A denser core of condensed vitality, typically obtained from stronger creatures. Useful for more notable equipment upgrades. |
 Large | Uncommon | 35 | A pulsating mass of spiritual energy, brimming with power. Can significantly strengthen weapons and armor. |
 Greater | Rare | 50 | A highly refined concentration of life force taken from powerful adversaries. Essential for unlocking advanced enhancements. |
 Epic | Epic | 100 | A rare and extraordinary crystal containing swirling energy and memories of countless fallen enemies. Used for the most demanding and high-tier equipment evolutions. |
| Superior | Epic | TBA | A gleaming reservoir of pure essence, left behind only by the mightiest foes. Its concentrated power enables remarkable upgrades and unlocks new rune slots. |
How to Get Essence in The Forge
The only way to get an essence is by killing enemies in The Forge. The type of essence you obtain depends on the tier of the enemy. Higher-tier enemies drop rarer essence, and lower-tier enemies drop common essence. For example, elite enemies like Skeleton Rogues, Reapers, and Fire Slime and Death Axes drop Medium to Epic essence.
One of the best locations to farm essence is the Volcanic Depths. Stonewakes Cross can be an option for beginners, as the enemies are very basic, but they give tiny and small essence. Skeleton Rogues in Forgotten Kingdom drop medium essence consistently. However, the enemies of Volcanic Depths are of a higher tier, and so they drop rarer essences. You can also unlock the Goblin Cave and find late-game enemies that drop more essence.
You can equip a Drain Edge Rune for life steal and a Minor Shard for extra essence loot. Also, try to take part in night raids as they drop twice the loot. Make sure to also use the Forge codes to get better races and totems.
How to Use Essence in The Forge
Essence can be used for enhancing weapons and armors in the Forge. Players can enhance their gear by visiting The Enhancer in Stonewake’s Cross or Forgotten Kingdom.
Talking with the Enhancer will open up the “Enhance Equipment” screen. There, you can select a piece of Equipment and enhance it in exchange for Money and Essences. Each time you enhance an equipment, the amount of essence and money required will be increased for the next time.
