To make an Essence Table in LEGO Fortnite you will need these items:

  • x20 Flexwood
  • Six pieces of Refined Cut Amber

Both of these items can be found in the Desert biomes and are only extracted with Rare-tier tools. The Flexwood is harvested by a rare forest pickaxe and the Refined Cut Amber is harvested by an Uncommon (Green) Packaxe which is then refined within a Gem cutter. This means you’ll need to upgrade your Crafting Bench before anything else.

How to unlock the Essence Table in LEGO Fortnite

To unlock the blueprint for the Essence Table, you will need to build the Gem Cutter first. This requires Rough Amber harvested from the Dry Valley. Once you harvest rough amber, the blueprint for the Gem Cutter will unlock. The recipe for the Gem Cutter is as follows:

Tip: An expensive journey

These materials require you to go all over the place, however, try to use the geysers found on top of the mountains to keep climbing. If there are no geysers, bring plenty of wood and granite to make steps.

Overall, there are four enchantments that you can apply to your weapons and other tools in the game, all of which will be useful for your travels in the great unknown.

The four enchantments you can use with the Essence Table are Essence of Damage, Essence of Durability, Essence of Health, and Essence of Luck.

To create these individual essences, you will need to learn their specific recipes, which all require top-tier resources to build. The four enchantments also have unique effects that change the way your tool or weapon interacts with the world.

Tip: The Essence of Luck

The Essence of Luck is probably the hardest enchantment to build since it requires one piece of Rough Sapphire, one Rough Ruby, and one Rough Amber. If you’re missing all of these elements, you must head out to the Frostlands and the Desert to search for these resources.
