The objective of the Realmwalker’s Initiation quest is to gather 65 Tier 1 Essences.

There are a number of ways you can complete this task.

You can fight enemies within the Realm.

You can complete Bastions which provide Tier I Essences as rewards.

The fastest way to earn Tier 1 Essences, however, is to complete the Fae Tower.

This is a challenging Tower filled with enemies you must defeat.

Because there are so many of them, they have a high chance of dropping Essence for you.

That said, a Fae Tower is straightforward.

Defeat the enemies until you get to the top.

Make sure you have plenty of healing items, ammunition, and Essence Dust to repair your items as needed.

When you’ve collected 65 Tier 1 Essences, return to the Portal and speak with the Explorer there to get your rewards.
