After a while, you might come to realize that it can be pretty difficult to unlock new crafting blueprints in Nightingale. This is because of a couple of reasons. First, you need to progress through the story and help other survivors in the Fae wilds. Second, you haven’t found the Essence Trader yet. Nightingale‘s Essence Trader allows you to trade in Essence Dust in exchange for loads of useful resources and even more valuable blueprints that can make your survival much easier.
What Is the Essence Trader in Nightingale? Answered
The Essence Trader in Nightingale is an NPC that you can visit to trade with. The Essence Trader does business in exchange for Essence Dust and provides new building blueprints and recipes for new items. This is always a great thing to look out for, even if you think you have sufficient gear for the area you are in. New items and blueprints mean you will gain increased Gear Scores as well as increased Estate Scores.
Where To Find the Essence Trader
There is a single Essence Trader in every Realm that you visit within Nightingale. Typically, you can find each Essence Trader hanging around the Wonder on that map, along with an NPC who is more than willing to give you a quest to embark on, or maybe ven join your party to help you on your journey.
You can find the Essence Trader by opening up the map. The map can be opened by using the M key on your keyboard. Once you’re on the map, even if you haven’t explored that area, the Essence Trader will appear beneath the icon on the map that looks a bit like a ticket. You can see what the icon looks like above.
Nightingale is now available on PC.
