In New World, Quintessence is a Tier V resource that can be used in Alchemy. You can use it in Arcana and Stonecutting recipes, and if you are a gem cutter, you’ll need to stock up on these to cut Pristine gems.

If you are lower level, you can also get Earth Quintessence from Hortus Bears in Weaver’s Fen. These are level 30 silver elite mobs in southwestern Weaver’s Fen, and they also drop Lodestone. Like the other bears in Reekwater, you will need level 100 mining to harvest them.
