How to Get Green Essence

As you can see from the recipes above, Green Essence is one of the major resources needed to craft most of the Essence types bar the Rainbow Essence. Unlike the others, Green Essence is of the Epic rarity, whereas the rest are Legendary.

This is except for the Rainbow Essence, which has a rarity of Mythical. Green Essence is the only type that you can’t craft. The 3 different ways of obtaining it is by completing Challenges and Legend Stages.

Accessing Challenges and Legend Stages

You access challenges within the main lobby under the orange ‘Challenge’ sign. To enter a Legend Stage, you must walk into one of the doors in the ‘Play’ area, select the ‘Legend Stages’ tab at the bottom, and go from there.
