WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Rare and elite enemy encounters during Veteran-or-higher play after character level 10.

Soul Essence has two eligibility requirements: the character must be at least level 10, and the game must be set to Veteran or higher. Once those conditions are met, focus your eligible play on rare and elite enemies, which are the researched targets for this material. This gives the farm a concrete route within otherwise suitable content: seek those enemies, defeat them, and collect Soul Essence when it drops. The available facts do not establish a guaranteed drop or special bonus from a particular Anomaly type, so choose eligible content you can complete consistently and verify your stock as you go.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Character level 10 or higher.
  • Veteran difficulty unlocked and selected, or a higher difficulty.
  • A route through eligible content where you can handle rare and elite enemies.
  1. Check that your character is level 10 or above.
  2. Set the difficulty to Veteran or higher before entering content.
  3. Choose eligible content that you can clear without frequent deaths or abandoned runs.
  4. Progress through the encounters and watch for rare and elite enemies.
  5. Defeat those targets and collect Soul Essence when it drops.
  6. Continue through the content, checking your Soul Essence inventory between runs.
  7. Use the collected Essence for the crafting need you planned, then reassess your remaining stock.
  8. Repeat eligible runs if you still need more.

Farming tips

  • If Essence is not appearing, first verify both the level and difficulty gates; changing activity does not fix an unmet gate.
  • Prioritize rare and elite enemies along your chosen route, while keeping the difficulty within a range you can clear.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable after both gates are met. Soul Essence is collected from eligible play, but a guaranteed drop per enemy or run is not established.

Common mistakes

  • Farming below level 10; reach the character-level gate first.
  • Leaving difficulty below Veteran; select Veteran or above before the route.
  • Clearing ordinary encounters while overlooking rare or elite targets; check the route for those enemies and defeat them.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough Soul Essence for the planned crafting use, or switch to character progression if you have not yet met level 10.
