== Your Second Essence (Water) ==
Some uses for Water essences are to polish gems and make dyes. 

=== Requirements ===
* 1 [[Blue Lupine]]
* 1 [[Blue Star Flower]]
* 1 [[Blue Quartz]]
* 1 [[Sapphire]]

=== Walkthrough ===
The second essence you will make is the [[Water Essence|water essence]]. It is used the most by Crafters and Tailors. Get at least 1 of each of the following: [[Blue Lupine]], [[Blue Star Flower]], [[Blue Quartz]] and [[Sapphire]]. To harvest Blue Quartz and Sapphires you will need to buy a [[Pickaxe]] from any General Store.  Harvesting Blue Quarts also requires an [[Inorganic Nexus]] of 1 and Knowledge.  Harvesting Sapphires requires an [[Inorganic Nexus]] of 4 and Knowledge.  Alternately  Blue Quartz and Sapphires can be bought from the NPC [[Harvey]] in Desert Pines.  Once you have made sure your food level is above 0 and you have those in your inventory put one of each in the manufacture window. Click either Mix or Mix all and if you don't fail you will have created a water essence.

=== Summary ===
New players may purchase Blue Quartz and Sapphires instead of harvesting them.  Harvesting these items requires extra Knowledge from reading books and additional Nexus from the Wraith.
