# Forge & Essence Shop

<figure><img src="/files/hMoQdaUCekR25FYKFuq8" alt=""><figcaption><p>Wild Forest Forge</p></figcaption></figure>

The Forge allows players to burn specific in-game items, such as Units (and others in future), to earn Essence in return. Essence can then be spent in the Essence Shop, where players have access to valuable resources including Shard Packs (Medium, Big, Giant) and Unit Chests. Later we will introduce more goodies to the Essence Shop.

Forge allows players to burn unused Units to acquire valuable resources.

Forge can burn both in-game items and NFTs.
