I wish Jafar would stop asking for things.

Jafar is one of the many villagers who’s always asking you to help with something new in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of his more complex asks is tasking you with brewing Essence of Wishes, a fairly tricky item to make.

Although you can try mixing random items until you happen to find the right recipe for this item, it can be a fairly time-consuming process since there are so many possible ingredients and combinations. It’s best to just mix together the right ones from the start to progress more quickly, so here’s how to make Essence of Wishes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

You can make Essence of Wishes in Disney Dreamlight Valley by combining three base essences:

  • Essence of Fantasy
  • Essence of Desire
  • Essence of Hope

While you have to make the Essence of Wishes to acquire this item, these other three essences are readily available for you to grab. You can find them sitting on the table by the cooking station in Jafar’s Laboratory while The Alchemical Revolution quest is active.

This table has a wide array of essences available for you to use as ingredients since you also need to make Essence of Wonder and Essence of Will for Jafar, but you only need these three key ones for the Essence of Wishes recipe. Any other combination of the ingredients available on the table won’t result in the item you’re after, but you may end up accidentally making one of the other potions you need for Jafar.

Although you’re brewing a special essence for this task, you cook it just like you would any regular cooking recipe. This means you can toss the Essence of Fantasy, the Essence of Desire, and the Essence of Hope right into the cooking station to make the Essence of Wishes you need.

Brewing the Essence of Wishes is one of the trickiest parts of The Alchemical Revolution quest for Jafar, but once you finish making this and the other two essences, you’re nearly done with this task. It’s certainly not the last time Jafar will ask you for something though, so be prepared to tackle additional quests once it’s complete.

This recipe is a tough one to make until you know which ingredients you need, but there are lots of other trickier dishes you may have already made or will need to make soon that make this one seem easy by comparison. Recipes like Jafar’s Bird Food and the Mysterious Cajun recipe are quite complex, so this item certainly isn’t the toughest cooking challenge you’ll face.

To deliver the freshly made Essence of Wishes to Jafar, you need to also have the other two key essences in your inventory, which include the Essence of Wonder and the Essence of Will. As long as you have all three, you can chat with Jafar to pass them over and move on to the next part of this task.

Once you’re done making the Essence of Wishes and working your way through the rest of the quest for Jafar, you can move on to tackling other important tasks around the village. Some other tasks worth working on are Dreamlight Gastronomy, A Taste for Literature, and Back from the Bayou.
