T1 Green Essence, Why cant I barely find any? (End Game)

[Keytta Wolfe]

I'm at the watch and I'm working on my newest sets. But just like any other set you need to upgrade them using the essence. I can find plenty of the basic one and the T2 Blue one. But the Green one is so scarce, I almost feel like its pointless for me to make anything new. I've tried Antiquarium and Provisioner in all three bioms during the day and night, with the minor card Treasury Eminent Card. Because I am around the end game area, I have done everything in these Major cards. So all there is for me to do is run around and fight and harvest. It took me an hour to get 20 Green. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone else have this issue or have any advice?

Edit: Thank you everyone for the Info. I didn't even think to reset the realms. This should help. I will give it a try and go from there. Now if I can just go from one realm to another with out being disconnected all the time, that would be fantastic. :)

The difficulty of the card played in the settings will define the reward from the in game PoI.

Change realm difficulty to get it below 50

Reset the Realm, clear the fae tower, reset the realm, clear the fae tower.. you can also clear any fae portals on the map.

Both comments are accurate but let me elaborate.

The quantity of essence you get from a PoI is relative to a few conditions.
Firstly difficulty of the realm. I do not know the best combination for T1 essence or the best score you should aim for with your card combinations. What I can tell you, and hopefully this gives you an idea what to aim for, is that if I open an extreme difficulty realm with a score of 220 I will get 35 T3 essence for an absolutely basic PoI that takes 10 seconds to complete. If I do the same card combination on easy difficulty I will get 5 essence for the same PoI.
So in short there is a sweet spot for essence rewards and if you go too easy it will give you SFA.

Aim for the the point just below it changing to rewarding T2 essence and you should be fine but maybe if you can get a score of 50 as suggested above but using the extreme difficulty it might give more.. or not. 50 might be 50 regardless of the difficulty. I have not tested it but you might wish to.

Also somebody posted that you could break higher tier essence down into lower tier ones but I may have misread this and maybe they just meant you can break anything down to dust for repairs as it was in a thread discussing repair costs.
I did not come across a way to break them down manually but I did not look for it either.
Maybe you could try it and see but I do not know how to try.

It is the type of realm that dictates the type of essence.

Abeyance: Dust
Antiquarian, Astrolabe, Provisioner: T1
Herbarium, Gloom, Hunt: T2
Ascended Realms: T3

The difficulty (or level) dictates the amount of essence you get for each point of interest, with extreme providing the most.

In the lower left of the portal screen you have 3 options:
Realm Difficulty
Public Realm (check box)
Reset Realm (check box)

If you want to farm a realm, you need to check the "Reset Realm" box when you play your cards. Otherwise playing the same card combination (even when you click on the "Reset Portal" button in the bottom middle of the screen) will take you to the same realm you have already visited with all the PoIs solved and thus not providing opportunity for essences.

I hope that clarifies and helps in your T1 farming.

Edit: btw, it is the numerical level of the realm that also dictates the type of resources you will find. Tiers of meat, hide, wood and fiber and the kinds of metals/gems/stones.

That is correct. You get indeed more essence from a higher difficulty realm. However, certain tier essences only appear in certain ranges, like the T1. Knowing that I started seeing T2 around realm difficulty 70 it is safe t osay difficulty 50 circa is the sweet spot, as you otherwise would get T1 wherever outside your Abeyance realm until you hit the range end.

Breaking down higher tier essences only results in dust, unfortunately. I have shared screenshots here to show that to people who suddenly were confronted with the repair costs.

The higher the tier essences the more dust you get. Even doing a simple fae site can last you quite a while. And if adjusting the difficulty correctly it is a simple walk in a park to get enough to have dust for seemingly forever.

I will not quote the whole post above me, but essence has nothing to do with GS,
It has to do with what Main card is played.
Herbarium is my first t2,
If you want your best bang for the buck do Provisioner ex desert.
You can see all pois and get max t1 essence.
