==Notes==
*Unlooted Steel Essence from Acolytes is supposed to despawn after 5 minutes however it rarely lasts this long. They frequently disappear much earlier than this, most often between 1-3 minutes. Their waypoint UI is supposed to flash as they are about to disappear but this also does not work as intended, so do not wait for any flash before looting.
*The 50,000 rotating Kuva purchase gives 36% more Kuva per Steel Essence than the 10,000 Kuva purchase, but due to its infrequent appearance, it may be more convenient to make the 10,000 Kuva purchase.
* To purchase all non-rotating offerings from Teshin at least once, you will need to collect 408 Steel Essence.
**Purchasing all the rotating offerings at least once will require 730 Steel Essence, for a total of 1,138 Steel Essence.
==Trivia==
*Prior to , 1 Steel Essence was a potential drop by Eximus enemies in Steel Path missions at a 2% drop chance.
