WoW Dragonflight: How to get Dreaming Essence

Each World of Warcraft Dragonflight patch introduces new crafting recipes and reagents tied to the new zone and raid. This time around, it’s the Emerald Dream, and a lot of crafters are on the hunt for Dreaming Essence. 

Dreaming Essence is a crafting reagent used by Dragon Isles Enchanters, Jewelcrafters, Leatherworkers, and Tailors to create optional reagents and weapon enchants. Although you can purchase Dreaming Essence at the auction house, it costs a pretty penny and isn’t always available.

So, here’s how you can get Dreaming Essence on your own in Dragonflight.

How to get Dreaming Essence in WoW Dragonflight

Dreaming Essence has two main sources—Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope bosses and the auction house. 

All bosses in Amirdrassil have a small chance to drop it, and unfortunately, the exact drop rate isn’t known. But, just like Shadowflame Essence, it can drop on all four difficulties—Looking for Raid, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic, and there is no difference in quality if Dreaming Essence drops, for example, on the Looking for Raid difficulty.

If you choose to buy Dreaming Essence from the auction house, one will cost you between 4,000 and 6,000 gold, depending on your region and server. The smaller the server is, the more expensive and rare Dreaming Essence is. 

Ideally, you’ll get your Dreaming Essence from Amirdrassil bosses and not the auction house, because the price tag is simply too much.
