Released as a part of the LEGO Fortnite NINJAGO: Rise of the Ninja update, the Earth Ink is a key crafting material. Given its importance in crafting the highly desirable Earth Spinjitzu abilities, Earth Ink has been the talk of the town, and in this article, we will explain where to find it, how to earn it fast, and what it is used for.
Earth Ink’s main purpose is to be used when crafting the Earth Spinjitzu Scrolls, as well as other Earth element upgrades. The Earth Ink comes in different rarities, ranging from Common to Rare to Epic, with Epic being the most desirable, as it unlocks high-level Earth abilities.
How to Get Earth Ink in LEGO Fortnite
- Play the main NINJAGO story quests
- Reach the Earth Sanctum (Earth Temple)
- Complete the Earth Sanctum mission to receive Epic Earth Ink
- Explore Earth Shrines on NINJAGO Island for extra Earth Ink
- Defeat shrine enemies and open the reward chest
- Higher-star Earth Shrines give better Earth Ink rewards
The Earth Ink does not drop from normal enemies, which makes it difficult for players to obtain it, leaving players with only two options: progressing through the story or completing special challenges to get it. It is usually given once throughout the story and cannot be crafted or traded, which narrows down the chances of obtaining it unless the aforementioned steps are followed. Earth Shrines can be a way to get them, but their spawn is not consistent in every world.
Getting the Earth Ink in LEGO Fortnite is simple if you methodically approach it. Complete the main story quests to begin with, then turn to Earth Shrines if you need more. Earth Ink is critical for Earth elemental powers, and this offers a unique opportunity to build up your strength in the game.
