Essence is the currency needed to purchase new skills from the Caldarus statues. You can find Essence by going about your normal tasks, like farming, fishing, and mining
.The best ways to get Essence quickly are to either clear out the debris around your farm or comb through the early floors of the mines
with upgraded tools.You'll get a lot more Essence in the mines as you craft better tools, so spend a day or two in there to go on a shopping spree later!
You'll notice little purple orbs when you do your daily tasks, so make sure to pick them up to collect the Essence. If you miss it, you can always come back later to get it since Essence won't despawn
