How to Obtain Materials

Here's where to find the materials needed to craft Capture Crate:

Essence of Life
Dropped by Root Spirits - Zone 1 forests

Root Spirits are elemental beings embodying natural life energy. When defeated, they release concentrated Essence of Life. These peaceful-looking creatures will defend themselves if attacked.

Tips:
  • Root Spirits blend into forest environments
  • Drops 2-3 essence per spirit
  • Non-aggressive until provoked
  • Also found in magical groves
Essence of Life
Harvest from mature crops - Player farms

Life Essence can also be obtained by harvesting fully mature crops. Different crops yield varying amounts, with more complex vegetables producing greater quantities. Eternal crop variants yield essence more reliably.

Tips:
  • Wheat yields 2-4 essence per harvest
  • Potatoes and Onions yield 8-9 essence
  • Eternal seeds produce consistent essence yields
  • Set up dedicated farming operations for steady supply
