Preferred Fluids for Capturing:

💦Foxen Semen

1. Before you begin upgrading Bee essence levels, you'll want to make sure that you have purchased your Thriae Hive and Vulwarg Kennel from Cassie, the pink Tabby Neko, in town. You'll also need to have The Hivelands unlocked.

   ⭐ If you plan to capture your Bee with fluids, you will need to harvest Foxen Semen or purchase some from Camilla, the Goblin, in town with Orgasmium.

   ⭐ The Bees you'll want to focus on capturing are the ones that have the Nectar trait!

   Essence I to Essence 2

2. Once you've captured all the Bees you can find with the Nectar trait, you will want to pair them up with a Vulwarg that has C Libido or higher. If you don't have a Vulwarg with C Libido or higher stat, then you capture one. The Vulwarg are found roaming around The Lustwood forest area.

   ⭐Wulf can be captured by offering them Foxen Milk
   ⭐Lykos can be captured by offering them Titan Semen

   After some time, you should have a Bee with C Libido stat or higher to turn into The Emissary.

   Essence 2 to Essence 3

3. Pair up all of your Nectar Rank I Bees with your other Nectar Rank I Bees and try to create two breeding teams, to ensure you won't run into the issue of offspring being related. After some time (sometimes longer), you will get a Bee with Nectar Rank II.

   ⭐Hold off on turning in your Nectar Rank II Bee, until after you get a Nectar Rank III Bee.

   Essence 3 to Essence 4

4. Find your highest leveled Bee (Preferably without the Nectar trait, or only Nectar Rank I), and level it up to level 42. You can either pair your Level 42 Bee with your Breeder character or another nepheylm of your choice.

   ⭐If you can't pair it with your Breeder character, try using a nephelym with the 🤍 Kindhearted trait.

   Essence 4 to Essence 5

5. Before you start pairing up your Nectar Rank II Bee with your other Nectar Rank II Bees, I recommend pruning (releasing) any unwanted Bees to ensure space for the next breeding batch; Just make sure you keep your Nectar Rank II and Level 42 Bees! After some time, you should get a Nectar Rank III Bee.

   If you end up producing a lot of Nectar Rank II Bees, then try turning in one of your Nectar Rank II & Level 42 Bees to The Emissary; Then, you can go back out to The Hivelands and see if you can find some new Bees with Nectar Rank II. Sometimes that helps end the cycle of producing only Nectar Rank II offspring.

6. Once you get your Nectar Rank III Bees you can now go turn in the remaining required Bees to finish upgrading your essence level.

⭐Additional Tips⭐

1️⃣ Turn off Wild Sex
➡️ In the game settings, toggle off Wild Sex and use fluids to capture your Bees instead, if you want to avoid being pounced on, thus saving some time if you're solely focusing on upgrading the essence levels.

2️⃣Utilize the cheats menu to save time and receive immediate resources:
➡️ Add Money
➡️ Infinite Lust
➡️ Win Wild Sex

3️⃣Breeder and Kindhearted Trait
➡️ Using your Breeder character can level up your Essence Level 42 nephelym and Breeder at the same time!
➡️ Finding a wild nephelym with the 🤍Kindhearted trait to breed your Essence Level 42 nephelym with will make getting them to level 42 easier and faster because the Kindhearted trait gives more xp to the nephelym that you're trying to level.

🤍 Kindhearted: Gains (30/40/50)% less XP, but gives (50/100/150)% more to mates.
