Preferred Fluids for Capturing:

💦Any other species' Milk, except for their own (Bovaur Milk).

1. Before you get started on upgrading your Ayrshire essence level, you'll want to make sure that you have purchased your Bovaur Shed and Thriae Hive. You'll also need to have unlocked Pleasure Pastures, and The Hivelands.

   ⭐ My In-Depth Keystone Unlocking Guide covers how to unlock Pleasure Pastures and The Hivelands:

   ⭐ If you'd prefer to capture your nephelym with fluids, make sure you either harvest any of the fluids below:
   Foxen Milk, Formurian Milk, Demon Milk, Dragon Milk, Harpy Milk, Hybrid Milk, Neko Milk, Risu Milk, Seraphim Milk, Starfallen Milk, Sylvan Milk, Thriae Milk, Titan Milk, Vulwarg Milk

   ⭐ You can also purchase any of these nephelym milk from Amber-Mae, the Ayrshire, in town!

   ⭐ The Ayrshire (and Bulls) you will want to capture are the ones that have the Fertile trait!

   Essence I to Essence 2

2. To get an Ayrshire with C Aptitude or higher, you will want to crossbreed your Ayrshire (or Bull) with a Bee that has C Aptitude or higher. Bees have a chance to spawn wild nephelym that have C Aptitude, sometimes even A & B Aptitude if their essence levels are upgraded. After some time, you should have an Ayrshire offspring with C Aptitude or higher. Once you've produced your Ayrshire with at least C Aptitude, you should turn in it to The Emissary.

   Essence 2 to Essence 3

3. Pair up all of your Fertile Rank I Ayrshire with your other Fertile Rank I Ayrshire and Bulls, while trying 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 produce an Ayrshire that has Fertile Rank II.

   ⭐Hold off on turning in your Fertile Rank II Ayrshire, until after you get an Fertile Rank III Ayrshire.

   Essence 3 to Essence 4

4. Find your highest leveled Ayrshire (Preferably without the Fertile trait, or only Fertile Rank I), and level it up to level 42. You can either pair your Level 42 Ayrshire 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 Fertile Rank II Ayrshire with your other Fertile Rank II Ayrshire and Bulls, I recommend pruning (releasing) any unwanted Ayrshire and Bulls to ensure space for the next breeding batch; Just make sure you keep your Fertile Rank II and Level 42 Ayrshire! After some time, you should get a Fertile Rank III Ayrshire.

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

6. Once you get your Fertile Rank III Ayrshire you can now go turn in the remaining required Ayrshire 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 Ayrshire and Bulls 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.
