Preferred Fluids for Capturing:
💦Titan Milk
Before you get started on upgrading your Drake essence levels, you'll want to make sure that you have purchased your Dragon Hoard and Risu Hutch. You'll also need to have completed Kybele's task, and use the keystone to access Virgin Breaks.

Essence 1 to Essence 2
You need to bring The Emissary a Drake with C Fertility. C Fertility naturally appears on wild Risu; so we will need to crossbreed a Risu with our Drakes. If you don't have a Risu with C Fertility or higher, then you can capture one from Lustwood, just past the waterfall, up the steps where the colorful Easter eggs litter the ground.
⭐Risu can be captured by offering them Thriae Semen
After some time, you should have a Drake with C Fertility or higher to turn into The Emissary.
Essence 2 to Essence 3
Pair up all of your Stoic Rank I Drake with your other Stoic Rank I Dragons 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 Drake with Stoic Rank II.
⭐Hold off on turning in your Stoic Rank II Drake, until after you get a Stoic Rank III Drake.
Essence 3 to Essence 4
Find your highest leveled Drake (Preferably without the Stoic trait, or only Stoic Rank I), and level it up to level 42. You can either pair your Level 42 Drake with your Breeder character or another nepheylm of your choice.
⭐If I can't pair it with my Breeder character, I like to use a nephelym with the 🤍 Kindhearted trait.
Essence 4 to Essence 5
Before you start pairing up your Stoic Rank II Drake with your other Stoic Rank II Dragons, I recommend pruning (releasing) any unwanted Drakes to ensure space for the next breeding batch; Just make sure you keep your Stoic Rank II and Level 42 Drake! After some time, you should get a Stoic Rank III Drake.
If you end up producing a lot of Stoic Rank II Drakes, then try turning in one of your Stoic Rank II & Level 42 Drake to The Emissary; Then, you can go back out to Virgin Breaks and see if you can find some new Dragons with Stoic Rank II. Sometimes that helps end the cycle of producing only Stoic Rank II offspring.
Once you get your Stoic Rank III Drake, you can now go turn in the remaining required Drakes 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 Drake 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.
