Getting the Essence Table and using it as soon as possible in Lego Fortnite is extremely important. This is because this table allows you to increase your weapon’s damage. If you use the Essence of Durability essence on your Forest Axe or Pickaxe, you will greatly increase the durability of your tools in Lego Fortnite. There are also options like Essence of Health and Essence of Luck, which you can use according to your playstyle.

To unlock the Essence Table blueprint in Lego Fortnite, you must have the Gem Cutter. The materials you need for the Gem Cutter are 20 Marble Slabs, 5 Rough Amber, 5 Sand Claw, and 3 Sand Shell. After obtaining these materials, you will unlock the Gem Cutter blueprint. Then, you need Flexwood and Cut Amber to unlock the Essence Table blueprint. You will use the Gem Cutter crafting station to get Cut Amber.

In order to craft Cut Amber, you will first need Rough Amber. Rough Amber is found on high hills in the Dry Valley and looks like gold. Then, you must convert the Rough Amber you obtained into Cut Amber with the Gem Cutter. After that, you need to get Flexwood. Flexwood is also obtained from cactus trees in Dry Valley. After getting these two materials, you will unlock the Essence Table blueprint.

You can only put a Sword, Crossbow, Pickaxe, and Forest Axe on the Essence Table. Regardless of their rarity, all of these weapons and tools have 3 essence sockets. So you can only apply 3 essences to an item; the essences you use can be different or the same. However, the essence you apply to a weapon or tool cannot be deleted or changed.

Therefore, you should be careful when making a decision. Our personal recommendation is to add the Essence of Damage to all sockets of your Crossbow and Swords and the Essence of Durability to all sockets of your tools.
