How to get Infusions in Nightingale
Infusions aren't all that rare in Nightingale and play a big part in improving your character, well its tools, clothes, and weapons. There are several ways to get Infusions in Nightingale:
Crafting
Before you start crafting Infusion in Nightingale, you will need to complete one Site of Power quest for Puck. He will then reward you with the Simple Enchanter's Focus. This is a simple workbench used to craft infusions and other magical items in the game. After you get the blueprints you will need to purchase:
- Simple Saw Table,

Furthermore, you will need Essence. Essence acts as the primary crafting material for Infusions. It serves as the magical energy that imbues the item with its special properties.
