I just started game and I'm completely lost, the guides I find using search seem to be out of date, so the questions:
1. How the hell do I earn more currency to buy the buildings and items?
2. What does ascend do?
3. What is essence and why can't I ever do it even though I've bred dozens of fox at this point
4. What does the plant girl do that says she got "shiny"
5. What's the point of those demons everywhere?
6. What's the point of the spirit thing?
7. How do I use the portals?
1. Cheat or milk and sell fluids to amber and camilla (milking Nephelyms captured or use the Fern).
2. Atm nothing XD ignore that.
3. Ignore that, you will get the level 5 easy when you breed a Nephe with 5 legendary skills.
4. The plant girl is the Fern, she can collect fluids from you and can sell later to camilla or amber.The Fern is like a pokemon will evolve with time xd.
5. You mean the demon presence i guess, thats the demon Pride using Telepath sex, you can dissable talking with her after you complete a request from her.
6. Spirit allows you change your Human specie to the Nephelym you want (but arent much males for)
7. Talk with Warden Neela at the Desert, you have to unlock all gates and portals, etc. Have sex with her at each portal too.
* Check my Guide maybe can helps you:
Breeders Of The Nephelym My Guides, Saves &+ [v0.761.53]
Essence is the new progression system. It's explained rather badly, so I do not understand its true meaning.
But at the core - you sacrifice a Nephelym with specific traits in order to improve the wild population of them.
What traits are necessary depends on the ascension level and the neph type, but you can't just find them in the wild - you'll need to train or breed one.
Is totally bad explained XD, about sacrifice i tested that dont care that really, i will say simple Essence is the stats and skills Neph level in a way is hard to explain but example > If you breed a Neph with 3 legendary skills thats Essence level 3, if you get at the Breeding Yard a Neph with 4 legendary skills thats Essence 4, so when you get a Nephelym with 5 legendary skills you get finally the Essence Level 5 for that species, not need to sacrifice or release, just breeding them at farm is enough, idk if i explained well but i tried XD.
