Infinity Nikki offers a vast array of clothing customization options, including crafting sketches to expand your wardrobe. However, some of these sketches require rare crafting materials, notably Essence, which can be challenging to locate. This guide will explain how to acquire these elusive Essence materials in Infinity Nikki.
One of the game’s minor shortcomings is its lack of clear direction on finding specific rare crafting materials, like Essence, necessary for creating new outfits. Knowing where to find these materials is essential for progressing and maximizing your wardrobe potential.
Unlocking Essence Acquisition
Essences aren’t available from the outset. You’ll gain access to them by unlocking Ability Enhancement nodes within the Heart of Infinity.
Steps to Gather Essence
Follow these steps to start collecting Essence materials:
- Access the Heart of Infinity: Press the I key to open the Heart of Infinity menu. Ensure you’ve completed the tutorial section and can unlock the necessary nodes.

- Locate the Ability Enhancement Nodes: In the bottom-left corner of the Heart of Infinity menu, you’ll find four interconnected nodes representing collecting, grooming, bug-catching, and fishing. Each node has an upward-pointing arrow icon. Unlocking these upgrades enhances your corresponding abilities and allows you to gather high-quality materials and their associated Essences.

- Unlock Prerequisite Nodes: Accessing the Ability Enhancement nodes requires unlocking preceding nodes. Unlocking one clothing sketch grants access to the Collection Ability Enhancement. However, ensure you unlock the outfits for grooming, bug-catching, and fishing first, along with their associated clothing sketches. Each node requires specific resources for unlocking.
Each node requires 10,000 Bling and 1,000 units of the specific type of Insight. For example, the Fishing Enhancement Node requires 1,000 Fishing Insight. You can gain Insight by performing the corresponding activity (fishing yields Fishing Insight, collecting yields Collection Insight, etc.). A more efficient way to obtain Insight is by exchanging materials in the Realm of Nourishment, accessible through any Warp Spire.
- Gather Essences: Once you’ve unlocked the respective Ability Enhancement, you’ll automatically receive Essences when gathering high-quality materials. For instance, every high-quality bug caught will also yield its Essence, similarly for grooming, collecting, and fishing.
