T3 Essence is the final tier of essence in Nightingale which you’ll use to buy the best quality of recipes, materials and upgrades. When you reach the endgame, after completing all the dungeon quests in your Abeyance realm, you should stat working through NPC quests to reach the endgame. Once you’re there, you’ll have a whole host of Essence Traders to visit at the Watch, along with your Ascended Realm progression. Here is a closer look at how to get T3 Essence in Nightingale, and what you will use it on.

Best T3 Essence Farms in Nightingale¶

When you reach T3 worlds, you will have a lot more methods to get T3 Essence in Nightingale. The best way we found is by completing tasks with groups of players at The Watch. These offer groups of six players to match together and then go through what are essentially bigger versions of the Vaults that you’ve been playing through as you explore Fae Ruins in your Realms. You’ll often find a few objectives like Bastille of Might, Agility, Intelligence or Insight, perhaps some Defense missions and other such content. At the end of the run, you’ll fight a boss and grab a lot of treasure at the end of the run, with a lot of it being T3 Essence.

T3 Essence locations in Nightingale come from end-game content like Ascended realms and The Watch end-game activities.

If you’re not interested in the Watch end-game content, then you can employ similar methods of farming T1 Essence and T2 Essence. Instead, you can go to the Ascended Realms using any form of Ascended Major card you have unlocked from the end game. These are essentially end-game versions of all the Realm Cards you’ve been to so far, and will always award T3 Essence.

Like the other strategies, we recommend running to a Fae Tower straight away, completing it for 60-90 T3 Essence, and then applying for a Treasury Card. Treasury Cards grant bonus Essene rewards from your fighting and harvesting, so as you complete Bastille and Defense missions, you should naturally find some more T3 Essence as you explore and complete the remaining POIS in a realm for increased efficiency when farming T3 Essence in Nightingale.
