Wild Essence is the currency of Ove's event islands. You harvest it on the islands you conquer and earn it in ranked Dominion rounds, and it pays for the stronger upgrades of Ove.
Earning
- Harvesting: most fields on event islands produce it while you hold them, more on bigger islands. Harvest upgrades, harvesting artifacts and Wild Harvest raise the output.
- Conquest: taking a Wild Essence field from another player also takes what is stored on it.
- Ranked Dominion: every round pays by placement, from 5'000 to 20'000, plus 10'000 for the first round of the day. Reaching a new tier and the monthly tier payout add more; see the ranked ladder.
- Market: buy it with Soulstones at the Market.
Spending
- Field upgrades on event islands, plague and healing included.
- The paid Temple spells.
- Recruiting and mining artifacts from the Nexus.
- The shared pool of a rock roost.
- Selling it for Soulstones at the Market.
Monthly cap
At every month turnover, Wild Essence above 250'000 is cut. Event islands also vanish at the end of the month, so spend what you have before it turns over.
Tip
Event islands despawn, so put Wild Essence where it pays off while the island lasts: a harvest or recruiting upgrade early on an island you plan to hold is worth far more than a late defensive upgrade.
