Wild Essence

Wild Essence is the event-island currency of the Ove world. It is harvested on special fields, spent on event-island field upgrades and granted as the main Ove reward for Dominion rounds.

Earning Wild Essence

  • Harvesting — Wild Essence fields on event islands produce Wild Essence over time. The harvest field buff speeds this up considerably.
  • Dominion rewards — winning a ranked Dominion round grants 25000 Wild Essence into your Ove account, participating grants 10000.
  • Conquest — capturing certain event-island fields can grant stored Wild Essence.

Spending Wild Essence

Wild Essence is the upgrade currency on event and tournament islands: field upgrades (harvest, recruiting, attack, defense) as well as plague and healing upgrades there are paid with Wild Essence instead of Soulstones.

Because event islands despawn again, invest Wild Essence where it pays off within the island's lifetime — a harvest or recruiting upgrade early on an island you plan to hold is usually worth far more than a late defensive upgrade.
