Earth2 Essence Generation Tip 1: Set your properties up for jewels
Properties with the right jewels generate significantly more Essence than those without. In order for jewels to be embedded in your properties you first need Mentars installed.
This process takes 14 days, but then all mentars on all your past and future properties will be installed. If you cannot wait those 14 days, you can purchase mentars on each property individually – a rather expensive endeavor.
Once installed, Mentars can hold jewels to increase Essence. The jewels have to be those called Sunset or Jamaica. In order to get those jewels you need to craft them by combining other basic jewels. See the Glossary and FaQ page on jewels for more information. Basic jewels are generated each day by owning Tier 1 land – which brings us to the next tip.
Earth2 Essence Generation Tip 2: Upgrading tiles from grade 2 to grade 1
Each tile has a tier of either 1 or 2. Tier 1 tiles generate both tax income, jewels, as well as more Essence than tier 2 properties. Tiles bought after December 4th 2021 are by default tier 2, but they can be upgraded to tier 1 using essence. This is highly recommended as the initial Essence investment is quickly returned.
Earth2 Essence Generation Tip 3: Buy lots of small (one tile) properties rather than big (multi-tile) ones
One tile properties allow you to fit one jewel on it, whereas larger tile properties have less room for jewels per tile. Since jewels grant you more Essence the more 1 tile properties you have, the better.
