Editing Best places (section)

=== [[Matter Essence]] ===
* [[Crystal Caverns]], [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
Enter [[Crystal Caverns]] by the Southern entrance, and go left (south). As you go round the corner, you will find an outcrop of [[Iron Ore]]. Immediately to the south contained within a stone circle, can be found a fairly impressive growth of [[Quartz]] which is surrounded by both [[Blue Quartz|Blue]] and [[Rose Quartz]]. You only need to bring a few [[Pickaxe|pickaxes]] and plenty of food to eat while you are harvesting and mixing.

It is far more efficient to create the essences here, than to gather the ingredients separately. A matter essence weighs only 1 EMU, but the ingredients weigh 10 EMU.

As a bonus, try using the 'pointy finger' on the Quartz for a nice surprise.

* [[North Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2)
This subterranean city is a good source for these essences, as you can find all the Quartz in one location and the [[Iron Ore]] is not very far away. This map contains [[Fruits]] and nearby there are [[Toadstool|Toadstools]]. Watch out for the [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] upstairs but there are no creatures in [[Zirakgunda]]. 

* [[Melinis]] (C2)
Gather up the [[Iron Ore]] in the steel cave and mule it over to the city center where you'll find a plank with all forms of quartz within easy reach. Just sit right down with your bag. Then take everything to [[South Redmoon]] via the boat ride or to [[Hazardel]] storage. Be sure to bring your [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] or have the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]].
